Lenovo has done well with the A6000 in India. Every week the company has sold thousands of these phones in a flash sale on Flipkart. But it's time you guys stop buying it. The days of A600 are over. If you were looking to buy the A6000, forget about it. Instead, buy the A6000 Plus.
Lenovo today launched the A6000 Plus and it seems so much better than the A6000. No, we haven't reviewed the A6000 Plus yet but given its pricing and hardware, we are certain that in the coming days Lenovo is going to kill the A6000, which just feels a bit too inferior to the new phone.
And frankly that is a good thing. The A6000 was barely an okay phone. No one is going to mourn it.
We reviewed the A6000 and we found it had several terrible flaws. For the price it was decent but there were better phones in the market. You can read our full review here.
But let's not cry over spilled milk though, it's time to move on. Lenovo has launched the much-needed successor to the A6000: the A6000 Plus. The handset has been priced in India at Rs.7,499.
In the words of Lenovo, the "A6000 plus is now India's most value for money 4G smartphone with improved features for an enriching consumer experience and lets you do more in every way seamlessly." In a nutshell, it is better than the A6000.
For starters, the A6000 Plus comes with twice the memory (2GB) and storage (16GB) when compared with the original (1GB RAM, 8GB internal memory). The device supports both LTE bands in India: FDD 1800MHz (Band 3) and TDD 2300MHz (Band 40).
It is powered by the same 1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 chipset coupled with Adreno 306 GPU, so don't expect a gaming beast, but the increased RAM should help in better multi-tasking.
The screen resolution remains the same: 5-inch HD IPS capacitive touchscreen display with a 720x1280 pixels resolution and 294 ppi.
To sum it up for you: the A6000 Plus has received an upgrade in the RAM and ROM departments, with rest of the spec sheet remaining more or less the same.
We did not like the display on the A6000, but really liked it on the A7000 (in our hands-on). The A6000 Plus lies in the middle of them, hopefully it carries some mojo of the A7000 in this front, but since it carries the same display spec as the predecessor, we don't have high hopes from it.
Still, you're paying Rs.500 more for a device that has two times the RAM and memory than the original, which is not a bad deal.
So here is the tl:dr version -- the A6000 Plus is what you should get in the present scenario if you're looking to buy a good budget handset with 4G capabilities.
