Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the Lenovo Laptop Battery
The budget smartphone space in India is booming, with new entries from various old and new OEMs. The latest is InFocus, which has challenged every other budget smartphone vendor in India with striking specs at an attractive price range, while making the choice difficult for buyers.
To help them in their decision-making, we compare two best-selling mid-rangers in India with InFocus M530. We pit the handset against Lenovo A7000 and Xiaomi Mi 4i to tell you which smartphone is worth your dime.
InFocus M530 and Lenovo A7000 have similar displays, measuring 5.5 inches diagonally with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and 267ppi. Xiaomi Mi 4i gets a step ahead with its 5-inch Full HD display, which is quite expected from its high price tag with battery such as Lenovo FRU 92P1188 Battery, Lenovo 3000 C200 Battery, Lenovo 3000 N100 Battery, Lenovo 42T4815 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E30 Battery, Lenovo L3000 G230 Battery, Lenovo L08S6D21 Battery, Lenovo L08S4X03 Battery, Lenovo L08S7Y03 Battery, Lenovo Ideapad U110 Battery, Lenovo 41U5025 Battery, Lenovo L09S8L09 Battery. All the three phones have protection with Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
Powered by octa-core processors, Lenovo and InFocus choose MediaTek chipsets, while Xiaomi goes with Qualcomm. The Lenovo A7000 is powered by a 1.5GHz MediaTek MT6752m processor while InFocus M530 is run by a MediaTek MT6595 processor with four 2GHz Cortex-A17 cores+ four 1.7GHz Cortex-A7 cores. Similarly, Xiaomi Mi 4i is powered by a 64-bit class based Snapdragon 615 Octa-core SoC with H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) for faster operations.
In our review, the performance of Xiaomi Mi 4i and Lenovo A7000 was almost identical. We are expecting InFocus to offer similar usability.
2GB RAM is common on all three smartphones but there is a difference in the amount of inhouse storage offered in each model. The Lenovo A7000 offers lowest onboard storage at 8GB with an expandable option, while Xiaomi Mi 4i and InFocus M530 get treated with 16GB memory. Lack of microSD card slot in Mi 4i may be a dampener. InFocus M530 allows storage expansion up to 64GB.
