Editorial note

The Lenovo S856 is a smartphone that offers a decent user experience thanks to its 5.5-inch screen, which provides an enjoyable viewing experience with vibrant colors due to IPS technology. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 4-core processor running at 1.2 GHz allows for satisfactory performance in handling everyday tasks. Additionally, the 2500 mAh battery stands out for its longevity, offering up to 25 hours of talk time on 3G, which is ideal for users on the go. However, the model has some limitations. The 1 GB RAM can lead to slowdowns when using more demanding applications, and the 8 GB internal storage capacity can quickly become insufficient for those looking to install many apps or store multimedia files. Furthermore, the screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels may seem low compared to current standards, affecting display quality, especially for high-definition content. The front camera, on the other hand, is relatively basic with a resolution of 1.6 MP, which limits the quality of selfies and video calls. Finally, the Android 4.4 operating system is outdated, which may restrict access to certain modern features and security updates. In summary, the Lenovo S856 represents good value for money for users looking for a basic smartphone, but it may not satisfy those seeking more advanced performance and modern features.
