An ultrabudget with a characteristic appearance for the initial class and the corresponding hardware. By modern standards, the screen of the mobile gadget turned out to be small (diagonal 4.5"), and its resolution (854x480 pixels) cannot be called high either. Under the hood, Lenovo A Plus has a MediaTek MT6580 processor (4 cores with a clock speed of 1.3 GHz) and 1 GB of RAM, the performance of which is enough to perform most undemanding tasks. Modest volumes of internal memory (out of 8 GB, a little more than 3 GB are available to the user) are compensated by the presence of a separate slot for a microSD drive.

Why do smartphones start to slow down and what amount of RAM is now considered optimal?Let's explore the reasons for the slowdown and the optimal amount of RAM for smartphones
All  specifications

The Chinese company Lenovo occupies a strong position in the low-cost smartphone market. The laurels of one of its most affordable products are given to the A Plus model, an ultra-low-cost mobile gadget running Android 5.1.

tenacious grip

The textured plastic case of the smartphone tenaciously fits in any hand. And the point is not even in the relief shape of the back cover, but in the optimal dimensions of the device — the 4.5 "diagonal is one of the most convenient to use. There are wide frames around the screen, which cannot be called its decoration. The display itself is built on the basis of a TFT matrix with its inherent features in the form of unimportant viewing angles and fading of the picture when direct sunlight hits the screen.

Performance

Despite the modest hardware (MediaTek MT6580M processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory and the Mali-400 graphics accelerator) , the smartphone gives good performance — everyday tasks are given to it without any complaints at all, and slowdowns occur in games. However, Asphalt 8 runs on Lenovo A Plus with graphics settings set to maximum The popular game World of Tanks Blitz can also be cited as an example — on the basic parameters, the frame rate in it is confidently kept at around 25-35 fps.

nice things

I am glad that the manufacturer has allocated separate slots for each SIM card and external drive (microSD flash drive). Some will also like the ability to replace the battery — an alternative to using power banks. And what potential buyers will definitely like is the presence of a headset in the package. For some reason, this useful accessory has ceased to be a mandatory attribute of a complete set of modern smartphones.

Low-cost solution

Lenovo A Plus is the optimal low-cost solution for surfing the net, chatting in instant messengers, consuming video content, simple gaming and performing the main function of the phone — receiving and making voice calls.
