  • It's a good phone. I'm the clumsiest person out there and it hasn't died over the past 15 months! It's strong. The back camera quality is average but the front camera is useless. You can't see unless you have bright sunlight and even then it's still very poor. Otherwise it's a really good inexpensive buy.

  • I am using this phone more than one year.... Dim in camera clarity is cleared by cleaning the lens.... I removed the touch panel 3, time....... The reaction is slow after the input.. Otherwise a good smart phone!

  • internal storage space only 2GB....

  • ofcourse not.. this phone has bright camera..... and it is amazing .. im using this kind of phone...

  • I love the phone. tho it states there "made in china" it doesnt really mean that it is poorly made. there are phones that are made in china which has as fine quality as those u can find in other countries with high ends of technology. In short, this phone is nicely made. I love the specs. the games run faster and finer than on my ipod touch 4th gen. it doesnt lag ( well, i have cache cleaner and the likes so yah). The camera is poor, yes. And the android version is still not updated yet (jellybean). But other than those, its really good and cheap. I can recommendd this phone for gamers out there with no much budget on their hand. haha.

  • This is one of the best budget phone if you dont care much about the camera. For my review after used it, no lags fast perfomance and yeah nice backcover also. Cons for this is phone is a bit overheating while playing game and its camera for sure. Or else you maybe can choose other model such as A328 for the latest android version. Thanks lenovo for this budget series !!

  • Ya a536 is slightly better

  • best phone for others but i got west pice & west my money

  • Guys .... when i recharge this phone it takes about 6hrs why ?

  • Lenovo A526 can XMOD ?

  • don't buy a526..buy a536..only RM 340 a536 is new model. , autofocus, LED flash,app can install in sdcard,12h talk time.multi touch. android 4.4.2 but sim2 only 2g

  • Its a shame that Lenovo didn't give it the IPS display

  • Not less than RM200, because of it's locked with Digi, so I get the device bundle price, quite cheap for 1 GB RAM phone actually

  • i bought this thing rm239, for basic browsing usage is really nice, the battery lasting long, camera not very good, but normal usage is good

  • You purchase less than RM200?

  • Performance matches the price. But both camera are pathetic. Battery does not lasts in my phone. It drains very quickly.

  • The phone is beyond my expectation so far, very smooth, and I bought it today around RM200 locked with DIGI for 1 year, but still I can use my old number because it's dual sim, a good phone for temporary use while your phone is repaired

  • i bought it for RM239.. best cpu and ram

  • The internal storage is put in into half the one is for files and the one is for games and other apps

  • i bought it for RM275. but yeah worth of it. didnt use camera too much. for work only

  • i bought it RM310, well i think it reasonable price . . but the camera is not build with flash. and the photo quality is real bad, no multitouch, poor display and etc but well it 300 buck phone bro ! what can u expect ?

  • Dear Guys, i have ordered lenovo a526. how long battery back up? please tell me .........

  • I love the phone because it runs perfect and smooth. The only problem of this phone is reception. Hardly you can find two bars on this phone especially in 3G network. Lenovo should concentrate on this.

  • i brought A526_i though it was the best cause the specs is good 4gb internal,,in actual only 2Gb,,the wi-fi cignal too poor i cant even make a browser,,,LENOVO pls,,help us,,we have so many victims here,,

  • display is ips lcd or tft ????

  • because only got 2gb user storage.

  • Nope. dont have

  • its back camera is good, but not the front camera since it is only VGA. its smooth, easy to use since im only use it mainly for study, games and contact people. if u all want a basic smartphone, this is one of the best i ever had. it has good image quality, average speaker, fast processor and good interface because i never use expensive phone above RM400. SO, I THINK THIS PHONE SATISFIED ME.

  • Guyz...this phone have flash?

  • I have brought lenovo a526.BT in storage it is showing only 2GB..whay?

  • Pathetic Smartphone... Never buy it... within 3 months.... Due to minor pressure the LCD display got cracked.....

  • * it was unresponsive 20% of the time for a few days *

  • So far so good having it since June . no lag whatsoever , only drawbacks for me is the storage is 4gb ( you can only use 2gb- no apps 2sd) and the camera isn't that great . build quality is really good too. Worth noting is that mine rebooted daily for a few weeks and the screen was unresponsive for a few days . probably mine was a faulty unit. Viewing angles aren't great they are OK for me though. Do I reccomand it ? Sure but the new moto g 2014 is better ,though the performance according to benchmarks is similar . so get the new moto g 2014 . if u have any questions don't hesitate .

  • I bought this phone on 27-May-14 and since then 3G is not working. I sent the phone to service center, they told me that issue will be resolved in 8-10 days, but still i haven't received my phone after 27 days. Very very disappointing service. Pro: Fast processor Con: Bad camera, no app switching available, absolutely horrible service center.

One thing i noticed too is the smoothness of apps,even large apps,it is not lagging too. overall, this phone is for gamer's who wants an affordable gaming machine. this is not for those who had used high end for they will be only disappointed.. thumbs up Lenovo!

  • why not?this phone works on android 4.2.2 and all apps works well

  • does this fone support wechat and whatsapp well../

  • how to see recent apps

  • cons: non-auto focus camera, not recommend for indoor use, non-stereo loudspeaker, no huge space for installing application pro: fast processor, clear display, good battery endurance

  • samsung galaxy s duos 2 for me is the one, it has an excellent camera and very fast in loading, and long battery life but i think lenovo is also a good choice but for me it's galaxy s duos. i already had it and i used it for almost one year but still running smoothly, too bad i lost it last month

  • You can't move yours install app to sd card in this phone.....default memory will be the phone memory.....not the sd card..only you can get 2.26(appx) internal memory... you can't see the running apps in this phone...(not in the ram)...other wise the phone is ok..

  • hello friends. . . im confused whether to buy samsung galaxy s duos 2 or lenovo a526. .considering the price i prefer lenovo. .is this good phone?any problem ?please suggest me. . .(are these negetive reviews believable) thank u in advance

  • If you replace normal nokia phone (not smart) they charge you 2000-3500Rs.

  • The camara of this phone is very bad ....battery backup also bad.....otherwise no problem

  • You can switch apps by downloading "Switchapp" app.

  • Guys how do you exit your apps after using them on lenovo a526

  • Hi guys this phone has cool featured but service is very bad.phone will ge more heat each time when charging. i brought this phone 1 month back and by mistake display got broken and when i walk in to service center for display they said Rs 5500 for display.what rubbish is this cost for the new phone is Rs 6750. So please guys dont even think about LENOVO.

  • How to focus snap while using camera??

  • Even when u buy high end and more expensive phones many people complain unless they build their phone which is suppose to be cheap n with the latest techology

  • Install nova launcher, this phone doesnt have recent apps feature

  • (+)Performance is awesome, i try some high end games with no lag, open and switching apps really smooth as hell. With this performance and price, this phone worth to buy (-)camera not good enough, phone overheat sometimes

  • My experience in my lenovo a526 is very good and the performance is so cool.

  • One issue which I realized yesterday was that when I connected the phone to the laptop, the driver for A526 could be found on net. Then I had to connect in Media Option to transfer files. That is one drawback.

  • like the phone good for its price gud performance

  • I notice the voting results are very good better than many expensive phones and also phone costing more or less same a526 That is why I say is OK

  • I would like to know more about the processor being old so what is the new processor? For me as long as the price is reasonable and fast internet surfing is consider good.

  • Had used Micromax A45 for the past 2 years...Best budget phone then... Lenovo A526 is very affordable phone for people who find Rupees 10K phone costly. Got A45 exchange with 1K discount. Plus.. Affordable branded Extremely fast Good RAM (8GB ram is unnecessary) superb touch response 4.5 inch display fits perfectly in pocket(doesnt jutt out like 5 inchers and more can be used with one hand though back cover is slightly slippery good battery (2000mAh) comes for 1.5 days MINUS( 3 mainly) front cam VGA Back 5 MP camera but no flash Apps not movable to SD card(but its why the apps are fast) waiting for some app to move 217 PPi is good but expected better(display is however satisfactory)

  • I m using this phone more than month, absence autofus & flash feature of camera make it worst.

  • how to check and close the app which is running? thank you before

  • How to root my a526.... Can You guys give me any sugession ??

  • But the message it shows "this service was started by its app. Stopping it may cause the app to fail". Is there something to worry about this?

  • For its price, yes it is a decent phone. This is my first smartphone experience so can't compare. Camera is average so don't keep your hopes high. Games I don't play. but browsing is good. Battery works 1.5 days for me.

  • it is the internet problem

  • my a526 display is broken.i searched this in all over riyadh. but i didnt get it.pla advise me to where should i get the display?

  • I've been using this for a month and though this phone is enjoyable and satisfactory, the camera is terrible in low light and the 2 GB internal memory is a huge drawback. even though it has a 32 gb expandable memory, u cant move any apps (both preinstalled and manuallyinstalled)to the sd card. I tried using an app called "App 2 sd" which moves ur apps to the sd card. unfortunately, that doesn't work in this phone either. But that wont be a problem to those who don't want to install large apps like Asphalt 8.

  • Pretty good handset for the price. It's quite fast and snappy. The camera isn't that good but that's to be expected coming from a budget unit, and you'd do well with a legit camera for pictures anyway. It's just a phone that acts like one. No nonsense.

  • A good branded phone from Lenovo. Super fast proccesor. No hanging problems Good display quality Decent camera quality Amazing battery backup Good browsing fast Totaly good performance & good phone..!!!

Application Processing time taking very less compared to others. Browsing speed is good. Battery backup is awesome. Playing music very nicely. Drawback is Only camera....Not so bad its average.

  • Can any tell flip cover release or not??

  • its really nice....u can install solo launcher to solve that problem

  • This phone is good but there is no app switcher like when you long press the left key and then it shows the opened apps. Thats is thr key feature in multi tasking. Is this the case with all other a526 devices or what?? Please leave comments.it would make no sense without app switcher.

  • Internet speed sucks why?

  • Today i have bought this a526. The gaming speed is actually so good. Even though rear camera is 5mp its quality is very average. Not so good.the front camerais utter waste. Very very bad. Display is a fwvga, so the images are slightly blurred.
