Lenovo P780 Out in Market !
Lenovo P780 is a quad core dual sim phone but the USP of the product is 4000 mAh battery. Normally we don’t see such a huge battery in a smartphone. As a result of that the phone can deliver up to 43 hrs of talk time and 35 days of standby time. Specs are quite similar to other budget quad core phone priced just over Rs 11,000. But due to the giant battery Lenovo is selling it for Rs 22,569. Currently Lenovo is the fourth largest smartphone manufacturer in the world.Lenovo P780 sports 5 inch IPS LCD display screen with 720×1280 pixels HD resolution. Possibly there is no scratch resistant glass on top of display surface for protection. It’s really something buyers don’t like these days. Corning Gorilla Glass or Dragon Tail Glass coating is always appreciated by the buyers.
Powered by MediaTek MT6589 SoC Lenovo P780 has 1.2 GHz quad core Cortex A7 CPU, 286 MHz PowerVR SGX544MP GPU and 1 GB RAM under the hood for faster multitasking. It runs Android 4.2.1 JellyBean.
Despite of the huge 4000 mAh battery Lenovo has managed to keep the thickness of the handset less than 10 mm. Lenovo P780 is measured to have a thickness of 9.95 mm and weight of 178 gm. The machine is available in 4 GB stoirage flavor with micro SD card slot storage expansion. It also supports USB OTG feature.
P780 is a dual sim phone. It supports tri band GSM 900/1800/1900 and dual band WCDMA 900/2100 MHz. You can use GSM and 3G SIM together in this phone.
Lenovo P780 flaunts 8 MP back camera with support 1080p video recording and VGA front camera that can record 720p HD video. There is no magnetometer sensor although accelerometer, proximity and ambient light sensor are there.

Disadvantages/Cons of Lenovo P780
Price is too high, less than Rs 15,000 should have been ideal considering the bigger battery
4 GB ROM is outdated, more ROM required to claim more than Rs 20,000
MTK6589, 1 GB RAM is not up to date hardware any longer
13 MP back camera would have been ideal
