market. While
Dell's venture in the cellphone market didn't go the way they intended
it to, but Lenovo did manage to garner some positive response with their
budget Android smartphones. The recently reviewed P700i was quite good;
therefore, we were looking forward to the P770 that packs in relatively
more power. Without further ado, let's find out if it's worth the price
tag of Rs 14.500. - See more at:

Lenovo released the P770, the company’s latest Android phone with a massive 3500 mAh battery .
The box contents include,
- Lenovo Ascend P770 handset
- micro USB cable
- USB OTG cable
- 2-pin Charger
- User guide
- Warranty Information
- 3500 mAh Battery
The phone has a large 4.5-inch IPS screen at a resolution of 960 by 540 pixelsand 245 PPI pixel density, but the bezel on the top and the bottom is huge. The height of the phone is 132 mm, larger than the Lumia 920 which is 130.3 mm tall. The display is decent with great viewing angles.
The power button, micro USB slot and the 3.5mm audio jack are crammed next to each other on the top. Since the power button on the top of the phone, it would be hard to access for some. There is a secondary microphone just above the metal rim.
There is a 5-megapixel auto focus camera with LED flash. There is a Lenovo brand logo below that.
The 5-megapixel auto focus camera takes decent shots. There is an LED flash, but the flash doesn’t fire at the exact time, which spoils the image and making it look washed out. On the left side there is a toggle for flash and option to switch to either cameras. There are different capture modes such as Panorama Mode, Mav Mode, Smile Shot, EV bracket shot, Auto scene detect and HDR. There are different scene modes (Auto, Night, Portrait and Landscape), Effect Regulation that lets you control saturation, contrast and Exposure, Option to adjust AE Meter (Average, Center and Spot), change the white balance and set Anti-flicker frequency (Auto, 50 Hz or 60 Hz). You can reduce the image size and enable self timer).
The phone can record videos at 720p HD video resolution. The video quality is decent and is stored in .3gp format. You can set the focus mode to continuous that adjusts the focus based on the object and the infinity mode that focuses eveything on the frame. Since there is a secondary microphone, audio is better.
The phone runs on Android 4.1 with Lenovo’s custom UI on top of it. Lenovo is calling the homescreen as IdeaDesktop. The home screen has a large widget called Lotus that has shortcuts for 5 applications. You can add up to 9 homescreens.
Out of 1 GB of RAM you get about 980 MB of usable RAM. Out of 4GB, you get just 1.58GB of usable storage space.
Performance of the phone is average. It has occasional lags due to the custom UI and themes. The phone is powered by a dual-core MediaTek MT6577 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz with PowerVR SGX 531 GPU. Here are some benchmarks of the device.
The main USP of the phone is the 3500 mAh Lithium-Ion battery. Lenovo promises 12.5 days of standby and 30 hours of talk time. We couldn’t test the phone for continuous video playback or music playback, but the phone lasted about 2 days with both the SIM cards on use on 3G, few hours of audio and video playback. It takes about 4 hours to charge the phone completely.
Pros
- Great battery life
- USB OTG with charging support
- Runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box
- LED Notification light
Cons
- Average performance
- Phone might be huge for some
- Pictures wash out when using the LED Flash
