Lenovo A5000 is a Dual sim mid range device from Lenovo,priced at about Rs.10,000 in retail outlets. The huge battery capacity of 4000mAh is the main highlight of the device and the Lenovo claims it can provide standby times of 768 h (2G) / Up to 804 h (3G)(standby) & 35 h (2G) / Up to 17 h (3G)(talktime).
DESIGN
Lenovo P70 is a 5inch display device with 140 x 71.4 x 10 mm dimensions and weighs 160g. So it definitely felt little heavier but its is completely justifiable since it has 4000mAH battery which contribute a lot to the weight. Lenovo also provided Anti Splash nano coating on this device which makes it water proof,and which will save your phone from rain and accidental contact with water. Doesn’t mean, you can go swimming with it. Lenovo has not provided gorilla glass protection for this device which is little disappointing.
Talking about the key placements of the device Lenovo has provided 3 capacitive buttons( not Backlit) on the front panel ,the lock/unlock key and volume rockers are provided on the right hand of the device while the left hand side is completely balnk. The 3.5mm audio slot ,noice cancellation mic & USB port is provide at the top while voice reception mic is provided at the bottom.The back panel is provided a Rubberised matte finish which will resist finger print.
Under the back cover the device sports two sim slots(Mini+normal) and a microSD card slot which can support upto 32GB sdcard.The device also comes with inbuilt non-removable 4000mAh battery.

HARDWARE & SOFTWARE
In our test the primary camera was found very responsive ,there was no lag or delay in focusing ,as well as capturing images .But the front camera was not that great images seemed a bit darker and because of the lack of touch focus it seemed low on details.
Lenovo A5000 comes with 1.3GHz Quad-core Mediatek MT6582 coupled with 1GB of RAM.The Mediatek MT6582 is a Quad core ARM cortex A7 based chipset and sports Mali-400 MP2 @ 500 MHz which will ensure decent gaming and multimedia performance.In our test with Nenamark 2 the device scored 52fps which is a decent score. When it comes to antutu Benchmark the device scored 17632 in the Antutu v4.5, which is also a decent score considering the price point .So from the benchmark score itself it clear that the Lenovo A5000 is definitely not for hard core gamers.
