Overview of Lenovo V700

Lenovo V700 is a beautiful phone and is filled up to the brim with so many features that you can easily spend the whole day discovering its features. Lenovo has put the same top-notch technology in its mobiles that it uses in its computer system.

Lenovo V700 Design and Build Quality

The phone is bar shaped and comes in two colour tones, which are white +gold. The top half of the phone up to the call and feature key is bronze gold in colour and the bottom part of the keyboard is pearly white in colour. The phone has an intricate carving like design on the top, which gives it a regal look. The keyboard is standard alphanumeric keyboard. The phone only weighs 104 grams and sizes 110.2x49.2x15.5mm. The screen size is 2.4 inch TFT with 262000 colours, which is quite impressive. The screen display is 240 x 320 pixels. The build quality of the phone is average and the gold colour starts wearing off after a long use.

User Interface and Comfort to Use Lenovo V700

The keyboard of the phone is a little cramped for our liking. The keys are too closely placed to type comfortably but they are soft and quick to respond. The phone has the usual call receive, call end buttons in addition to the music, and back buttons. The alarm, call log, phonebook, and gallery can be accessed directly from the front screen. This makes the phone easy to use as it saves times.

Telephony and Phonebook

The phone’s phonebook has the capacity to store 1000 entries, which is quite enough for standard use. The standard dialled, received, and missed call log features are present on the phone. No call-recording feature is available. The phone has a talk time of over 5 hours, which means that you don’t miss out on any important calls during the day. The phone has an inbuilt speaker phone which gives quite good quality when used in hands free mode.

Messaging and Emails

The phone has SMS, MMS and email features available on the phone. You can set the messaging preferences on the phone by using the settings. The email feature comes in quite handy when you want to look up some important data on the internet.

Gallery, Photo Viewer and Video Player

The phone has a card slot in which you can use up to 2GB of external memory, which gives you a lot of space to save your favourites. The gallery includes screen savers, wallpapers, images, videos, and media player. The photo viewer is comfortable to use and has photo-editing features. The video player is windows media player and supports 3GP, MP4 and AVI video formats.

Lenovo V700 Music Player and FM Radio

The music player on the phone supports MIDI, WAV, AMR , MP3 , AAC and AAC+ music play which we feel is quite good when compared to other phones in this category. Sadly, the phone does not have an inbuilt FM. The audio quality of the phone is very good.

Lenovo V700 Camera and Image Quality

The phone has a 0.3MP camera with digital zoom with a resolution of 640 x 480 Pixels, which does not leave much choice for getting high quality images.

Video Camera and Video Quality

Inbuilt video camera is good for recording videos in broad daylight and does not record well in artificial lights in the night. The video quality of the phone is very basic.

Lenovo V700 Connectivity Options

The phone does not support 3G or Wi-Fi. It supports GSM 900/1800 MHZ GPRS, Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Bluetooth cannot be used to listen to songs but you can transfer the files at a good speed.

Organiser and Other Utility Tools

Alarm, Calculator, Calendar, Clock, Currency Convertor, Stopwatch, Voice Memo, Photo-video Editor, Photo Album, and Voice Recorder are the tools available on the phone. The phone has also some inbuilt games to help you pass time.

Web Browser and Applications

The browser is WAP based. Web applications include Opera mini browser and Internet explorer.

Verdict

The phone has some important feature missing such as the FM and social media integrations, which are very important in today’s market. We would give the phone 3 out of 5 marks for its design and functionality.
