The average battery life of the typical smartphone tends to suck these days. So if you’re looking for a solid workhorse smartphone that won’t conk out at the end of the day, it’s worth considering the Lenovo S660. The specs aren’t anything to write home about, but it’ll get things done without having to charge in the middle of the day in most cases.
The Lenovo S660 features a 4.7 inch qHD IPS display that makes use of scratch resistant glass and an oleophobic coating to prevent smudging. While the 234ppi isn’t the best, it’s still crisp enough to appreciate smaller details of anything onscreen. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s both scratch- and smudge-proof.
Under the hood is the MediaTek MT6582 with a quad core processor clocked at 1.3GHz. Paired with it is the Mali 400 GPU, which is a step up from the single core PowerVR SGX544 GPU on the MT6589 that it replaces on the MT6582. You can typically expect scores of around 15-16k in Antutu with phones that make use of this chip.
Probably the best part about the Lenovo S660 is that it’s powered by a 3,000mAh battery, which is larger than you would expect for a sub-5 inch phone. Most 4.5-5 inch phones tend to come with 2,000mAh batteries, and those tend not to last the day. Great battery life is the best way to wrap up these respectable specs.
The Lenovo S660 is pretty decent all around. Other specs include 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage, 8mp rear camera with flash and a VGA front camera. Looking to get your hands on the Lenovo S660? It’s already available in the Philippines for Php10,299.
