Lenovo A5000 is a 5 Inch Phone With a Massive Battery

Lenovo has quietly launched another A series smartphone dubbed A5000. The phone was already spotted in several leaks and the official announcement confirms that the phone comes with a massive 4000mAh battery, its most notable feature. The smartphone runs on the older Android 4.4 Kitkat but a Lollipop update may be released later.

The phone has a plastic body design featuring a 5-inch 720p display. The display is of the IPS variety though. The phone measures 140×71.4x10mm and weighs a hefty 160 grams. Another appreciable addition is the nano-coating that makes the phone resistant to accidental water splashes just like all the Motorola phones.

The phone is powered by a MediaTek MT6582 1.3GHz quad-core processor accompanied by 1GB of RAM and 8GB of built-in storage expandable via a micro SD card. The phone features an 8MP rear camera with a single LED flash and a 2MP front snapper. The Lenovo A5000 comes with standard connectivity options like Wifi, Bluetooth 4.0 and FM radio.
