Lenovo A850+ - User Reviews

  • You say its a bad phone in 2018 (almost 2019) and the release date was in 2014... 5 years ago it was one of better phones. Still using it even though there are soo many better phones right now. 1gb is ok if you dont have google onboard.

  • Its so trash, only got like 1gb ram. Cant run anything on this phone ugh. Gonna buy a new phone soon and it wouldn't be Lenovo

  • why on earth would you pay that much for a garbage phone

  • I threw this phone to the floor It didnt break But sometimes it shutdown when knocked something

  • When I first got this phone, I was kind of amazed, I paid over $1000NZD for this phone. As time went by, I realized that it isn't actually great, it's still stuck on 4.2.2 and no way of updating to the latest running system, there's always POP up ads, when you're talking to someone, you can actually hear something as if your phone is being tapped into, not a good feeling. Especially where I live. So at the start, this phone was like ... a 7/10, now, I want to break it with a hammer and rate it in the negatives/10. That's my honest opinion. If Lenovo were to somehow make a miracle upgrade, I would be happy, but I'm not. So, definitely won't be a consumer of this product again.

  • I love this phone when he came out was grea.t it`s cheap the camera actualy is 8 mp the sound is good it`s pretty loud the battery is very stable it could be better but not for this price ;)

  • After buying a month at 2015, I threw out directly from the 2nd floor ! Never buy Lenovo again.

  • man...I just format my phone..I can't install all kind of Google...so first I send share it to my device using Bluetooth then send all third party apk to my phone..now I can update and use them

  • I used my a850+ about 1.5 years .it was smooth until now.but recently I reset it and after that it doesn't support 3rd party softwares....like google play store .what should I do???

  • I had use lenovo almost 2 years.it have no problem until recently waze cannot been use.handphone cannot been repair because the repair shop said China or Taiwan not upgrade the waze software.

  • used since 4/14 first batch , still run smooth on factory rom. i'm not hi end gamers only sometimes played coc but for multi tasking this fone working flawless ( nice octa core proc ) . not so fast n not too slow. battery life also gud. few time dropping above 4-5 feet but still alive w/o cracked. ( thanks for old back case n sp stick from day 1 ) now day i changed a plastic sp to sp glass its seem like a new fone. buy around 64 usd = rm270 its worth for above 2 years using budget china product . btw a camera quality's also not bad for 5mp lens only hate about wifi range its not too far.

  • it's a good phone actually. it's only for intermediate android users. you must install custom rom and it will run smooth. I'm thinking of buying another set.

  • My photos keep getting deleted wea can i find the vault security pin? TIA

  • lenovo is good.. but i have one question regarding the apps store... because if i download example is messenger ... why cannot find in the display....

  • same problem. i format the phone. if its in safemode after that..restart the phone. been using for 2 years.

  • i was using this phone 2 years....its really better then samsung ! people who said this phone is hanged , for your information please do check your phone with nearest phone shop !!!! maybe it will be a AP set , for me its awesome , still now this phone is enough for me !

  • Worst phone ever owned. Dont buy it. After having patient with this phone for about 2 years, it went completely broken ( cannot start). Always lag..not enough ram and internal memory.

  • play coc for 5 min and the phone overheat and the screen jammed.is this something to do with the battery or the phone itself.

  • I have one white a850+ mt6592 1.7ghz octacore mediatek...i have root the this phone and setting all cpu core 1ghz minimum to 1.7ghz maximum and no lags at all but weak internal storage..weak mali-450mp2 gpu that's is not suitable for high end 3D games..casual games all okey...

  • hi anybody knows any a850+ rom with move2sd? i have try many, but none have this features...

  • see here: and here:

  • needrom

  • where I found lenovo a850+ firmware. I need to flash this mobile.

  • I need flash phone but where I found lenovo a850+ firmware. please anybody know.

  • i just want to know if anyone using maxis or hotlink and this lenovo a858 works well. becoz now im using celcom and the internet is super duper sucks! thinking to convert to line maxis if it's ok. coz to buy new better hp is out of my budget now. pls advise.

  • is this device compatible with chainfire 3d ?. i have another lenovo device but when i turn on chainfire 3d, it got boot loop.

  • Missing sms,dialing and contact icon. Search in setting and widgets but cannot find it. Some apps i freeze using secureit cannot unfreeze. Anyone can help?

  • try rename emei numbers. sometimes celcom and tune talk sim can't detect network on that device.. :)

  • why celcom sim cannot put into lenovo

  • diz phone has beast spec for gaming , octa core 1.6Ghz cpu ,selfie maniacs is not recommended to buy diz phone.. if u having problem with rom/ ram u should root ur phone and remove all the junk bloatwares.. use kingroot (not kingoroot) + purify app.. kingroot is not available in playstore tho.. after remove all the bloatwares use cleanmaster ti clean up junks and u should cleared around 1-2gb from ur phone, and as dir my advise dont install toi much app into ur phone..

  • Aite, if you guys have any trouble with apps auto download (the malwares), here's what you should do: 1. Go to setting 2. Go to apps 3. Go to all apps 4. Search for apps name (1. Dev, 2. Lin init, 3. Update, 4. Sync) 5. Disable all 4 apps. And you're done. Or download 'badappdetector' from play store and let it search for the malwares. And if you guys got root, you can uninstall them by using any root uninstaller in play store.

  • For the price I paid....overall this is a good budget device. Sure..it skips on a few things like having a low ROM and the camera leaves a lot to be desired. But the screen size is optimal for a budget daily driver.

  • touch screen problem internal storage low

  • dont buy this phone...u will get malware.this the worst handphone i ever bought

  • the worst phone i have ever used, prone to malware, worst picture quality

  • .apps just load on spontaneously and it still comes back even you was clean it..was re format many times but still same..only 8 months i used it then my phone cant use anymore..

  • I think the camera very poor , so poor the front camera like so dark i hope u guys can upgrade the camera if u can

  • Please don't buy this model or you'll got struck with lagging... Better you looking for 2 GB RAM or above. Lenovo please do something.

  • This phone is substandard RUBBISH out of some Backyard China factory. Porn just loads on like nobody's business and you can clean it off time after time and it still comes back. Stupid apps just load on spontaneously and you have to clean that off too. Why are no security features for this phone? Hat's off to Samsung for their Quality products !

  • Very satisfied, I used it almost 2 years maybe more...except for the camera, you still can take family picture or do work. You need to edit it to make better. The screen are not sensitive but you will adapt with it in little time.

  • Hi guy can check with ur em I have use this phone for 3 week plus but starting from ytd I have a problem is that the phone will auto downlaod thing (not from play store) and also I have some apps that is cannot be remove from the phone and I have reset the phone but the apps will still be there !!! Guy so someone help me pls

  • Same problem. How did you get on?

  • There is two options: MT6592 or MT6592M. MT6592 is 1.7GHz.

  • Hello I bought a Lenovo A850 + of eBay. It works well, but I have two questions. I can not update? Go somewhere and everything is Chinese and not know how to continue. Is there a product similar to Nokia PC Sute where can I find it?

  • how do i activate wifi?

  • Can update to kitkat version?

  • It would've happen with any other phone, so it doesn't really need to be in the comments, but what you can do is to connect your phone to pc and then put a brand new android os inside it.

  • Bought this set recently for dad's. Easy to navigate, big screen, a friendly user for older people. Kudos Lenovo for such a lovely product!

  • This phone doesnt have notification led.

  • been used this phone more than one year, very good performance, but lately got trojan virus(monkey test) very stubborn and cannot remove by antivirus, what to do? any idea pls help.

  • One of the best cheap mobiles out there, octa 1.4 1gb ram only down side its the storage 4gb which will be fully utilized soon due to the performance of the phone you would download everything, got it last year when it was launched great phone powerful. Buy this if you are on a very tight budget you wont regret it.

  • Try a custom rom with it.

  • Experienced this on another phone and uaed an app called "Fix Me Partitions" which was the cure. Tho, this app is for rooted phones. You must root your phone to fix the problem anyway. If you don't like rooting you can revert later. I've used Kingo Root...

  • Been using it for almost 2 years, never encountered the above problems. Once in a while, it does crash but that's not big of a deal

  • It's been more than a year since I've bought this phone. It's one of the best octa-core in the smartphone market. Quite a big screen, and can do everything! 5MP camera, lots of stuff for an extremely reasonable price!

  • Why some web sites state that this phone use MT6592V chip instead of MT6592M? I am confused

  • This is poor quality product.Below I am giving some bugs(defects)in this phone. 1. Slow performance 2. Hang some times 3. Automatically wide touch getting on 4. Keypad not getting hide some times, showing main screen. etc.

  • This is a very nice phone and the price not so bad, the phone works very good in 3G and WCDMA, if you want a phone not to expensive you should try this one, the only problem is the cam 5 megapixels not so good if you take night pictures but in the light the picture and very decent.

  • Good performance but camera not much better and screen capture is much difficult

  • Have been using this phone for the past 3 months. Battery life is superb. Performance wise is very good for such a price. Screen is bright and clear. 5.5" is a really good size to carry around. Anybody using Rest of World (ROW) ROM for this phone?

  • Should i buy this phone?

  • I used this phone. Its a good budget phone. No lag but the camera is not good for selfie.

  • I used this phone. Its a good budget phone. No lag but the camera is not good for selfie.

  • Is there a way to change the default sound for the notification settings.?

  • The best phone lenovo phone below 600 is lenovo golden warrior a8 but it is still ap set in malaysia or you can add rm50 and get lenovo s850 it has similar properties with lenovo golden warrior a8

  • With the cracked Screen, have you fixed it, I have cracked screen and my phone cannot charge anymore. Where Can I order a screen for replacement? and battery as well.

  • I have the same problem like you. All you need is to do custom rom for your phone. Porblem solved. The stock rom from lenovo is bad.

  • Lenovo A850 plus good or not, i mean did the phone not eazy to become lag , how much phone memory designed for install apps and games

  • which lenovo phone is most suitable to buy ,and the price is below RM600

  • No, this phone's camera is not good at photo of text. It is not clear enough.

  • The camera quality is very bad for low light place. Eg: Indoor, fluorescent light, night, dark place. Beside the Lenovo ROM is really s*ck. I regret to buy Lenovo phone.

  • It comes with a lot of programs that cannot be removed as they are part of the operating system. It uses about 75% of its RAM for these and constantly brings the message to clean the phone to free up space in the RAM. Very annoying. Still works ok but annoying like a little voice always telling you to do things that won't make it better. Battery life is decent Phone works well (both SIM cards) only G3 data so if you are used to LTE and use it a lot don't go there used it for 3 months now and will try a different one soon

  • I decided to buy it ,but I want to know that did the photo catch by secondary camera clear at night ?

  • Awesome fon 4 gaming.. No lag when playing asphalt 8.. 4 normal on9 used... D battery cn last a day... A real value 4 money... But 4 those who luv 2 selfie... Dis fon is not 4 u coz d cam juz average... Good enough 4 normal pic taking... 4 gamers out there looking 4 not 2 spend lots of money... A850+ is perfect....

  • Was very surprised to use this phone. It exceeded my expectations as the price tag for it was very low. Good all rounder performance, good battery life, pleasant outlook (especially in White). Overall dimension is very easily to carry. Superb screen for its price. If only screen is 720p! It even such native 3G video calls. If only more enterprising people develops more custom ROM for it.

  • Well i have one just said to my sister to change my galaxy s1 with her lenovo 850+, well she got a crack on the screen and shes only 11 years old and im 25 so i thought that she dosnt deserve the phone. Any way she got my s1 and i took her 850+ with the crack. Any questions feel free to ask

  • No prob bro. Imagin it is 5megapixel cam!

  • this is true this lenovo use octa core

  • Someone here have it? so you can try to use camera to scan a pdf document, i mean, the autofocus is enough for text? thanks in advance

  • the lenovo a850+ do not support otg.

  • Is this phone and lenovo a916 support otg? Answer pleasee

  • You are absolutely correct.it is good for documentation.but not for photo shooting

  • Any hope it will get 4.4 kitkat?

  • Root the phone, flash Rom if you don't like ui, this phone is fast and long lasting... To the people that don't know how to keep you apps like whatsapp alive during task clean... Do a favour just don't buy smartphone anymore .. You all wasting good product.. A850+ is for pro user that seek cheap Android phone with high spec

  • i bough it at lazada, the main problem is delayed to power switch on it takes 15 seconds more or less and i believed its not normal, the normal is 3-5 seconds only... who experience this kind of factory defect?

  • I'm using this device and around half year already. The UI interface/theme is not good. Although many themes to choose from but all themes are just very poor designed. Beside, the touchscreen is really low build quality. When I want to drag/move the screen, system thought I just clicked on the screen instead of drag. Many unnecessary embedded apps. Rear camera is acceptable but front camera is very poor. The "clear memory" kill every single background service, so when cleared memory, you will no longer receive message from any messenger like facebook/wechat/whatsapp/etc, you need to open the apps and leave it behind. Because of this reason, the battery life is really good, can last very long. Latest Google Map doesn't work on this device, it will crash, need use older version. Original firmware doesn't include Google Play Store, need use of 3rd party recovery to manual install it (although many methods out there but this is the most promising method, I installed GAPPS and root using recovery). Anyway, the performance of the CPU & GPU are not bad, very impressive I can say. This device just cost about RM400 in Malaysia, I can't expected much from this price also.

  • Just want to ask. My lenovo a850+ work fine at first. Its show me no lag and fast. But when i use the phone and do social networking like whatsapp, scrolling fb, instagram or any other app on my phone for 15-20 minutes after boot it started to lag. I dont have any idea why it become like that. I dont like getting lag in typing. I need to reboot ti make it fast again and then it will come the lag again. I buy this device because of great review and opinion on this device. Do you have any solution for my problem?

  • pro:no heating problem,long lasting battery life,great gaming phone,minimum in lagging,cheap. con:row product not available in my country,not smooth ui,camera is not good. from my experiance by using this device for two month.

  • Its released this april and u have used it for a year? Woww. Awesome

  • I have used many phones before, but they last relatively short time before move to another device. I have been using this phone for over a year now and its performance is really amazing for day to day application. Really worth the money.

  • price under RM400 for octa core phone and good performance

  • I bought this phone few months ago and I am very satisfied. All the apps are working great, it is fast and the UI is OK for me (it is intuitive and works well for me). It is a wonderful workhorse for work and business purposes and it comes at a relatively cheap price. However, if your purpose is more geared to shooting pictures with the phone, you may not like the camera quality. It is sufficient for taking pictures of documents, business matters, etc. but probably not for high quality family pictures. About gaming I cannot comment - I never played on it (not a gamer...). Overall, cheap and very satisfactory for power business users as a "portable office".

  • If you don't like the LENOVO UI why don't you flash another rom? there are many AOSP roms with zero Lenovo-bloatware and they are clean like any Android clean rom should be, they all comes with root/Google apps and MultiLanguge,they all work great with the device. about the memory? no problem. If you insert MicroSD in with high capacity (I have an old class 4 MicroSD SanDisk 32GB, which is certainly cheap, even less than that will do the work), and you use it for the apps data/camera files/storge all files apart from the apk's file, which are relatively small - max 60MB for a huge apk, for example the Google Chrome and Aptoide apps, which they are my biggest Apk's file installed on my device, they are weigh about 50MB, the rest of them are much smaller. I have around 60 apps and still have 1.1GB for apps installation out of 2.2GB). For the data-apps and other storge files, there is no need for high internal memory, it is clear that more internal is better, but not dealbreaker for me.

  • it's good for the price under 100 dolar,i got it just for watching video , music and a bit of gaming,the touch screen,the screen Display resolution,the sound and the ui are bad but just i say it good for the price

  • I think redmi note more good

  • Yea. But i would prefer to get A850i for its bigger ROM. I do also notice that this phone is better in its processor but still quad-core is 'standard' enough for me. Thanks for your advice on deleting apps but i wouldn't tell someone to delete their bloatware apps using root explorer as this method could bring harm to someone new to the android developing world. Use NoBloat Free instead. It is much safer... Sorry..im not promoting... >_

  • Just use a SD Card as Internal Memory (The option has adaptated in the system menu)... And if you dont like the Lenovo Apps just install a Root Explorer because the Lenovo a850+ has a Factory Root and delete them from /system/apps

  • good phone but I'm facing network problem all the time. no network issue seems to be frequent whereas my cheap samsung galaxy y doesn't face that problem at all but this phone is a gaming beast..lag free on high resolution games

  • The apps can be saved to sd card.

  • Very low ROM/internal memory. Only 4GB AND will be much smaller because of lenovo's bloatware apps. So can't download big apps with it and nothing seems to happen after changing the default memory to be use which of course people will choose ext sd card as thier default memory.

  • Great Antutu score, 28,090 points

  • Yes , very fast. I bought two. The cpu speed is 1.66 GHz not 1.4 GHz

  • Great phone and very fast. I love it. Battery last like forever.
