Hero of today's review, Lenovo smartphone The S660 shares many similarities with other smartphones from the company. Specifications and equipment resemble the model, while the large battery and use of metal body elements resemble the P780 and. At the same time, we can say with complete confidence that it has its own "face" and will not get lost in the close ranks of Lenovo smartphones. We will not torment, but simply tell you what we liked and disliked this device.
Equipment
Lenovo S660 comes in a box made of thick cardboard familiar to the S series.
In it you will find: smartphone, block charger with an output current of 1.5 A, a cable, a simple headset, the required minimum of documentation and a case. Let's dwell on it in more detail.
Before us is a typical cover-overlay for the back of a smartphone, the main feature of which is a cutout in the back, where a metal plate, clad in rubber, is inserted. The metal springs and bends in a semicircle, which allows the case to be used as a stand, fixing the smartphone in a horizontal or vertical position. A similar case comes with the Lenovo S650, only this time the manufacturer used dark blue matte plastic.
Design and ergonomics
From the front, the Lenovo S660 looks like any other mid-size smartphone. Belonging to Lenovo smartphones, it gives out a logo and touch keys with a characteristic pattern and backlighting that lights up when touched. Other elements include a thin speaker grill, a window for proximity and lighting sensors, a camera lens and an indicator of missed events. When viewed from a right angle, it shines too brightly, but when the smartphone is on the table a short distance from you, its blinking is just noticeable enough.
The smartphone is framed by a strip of plastic interspersed with sparkles. The physical control keys are concentrated on the right: the volume and lock keys. The volume button this time really resembles a rocker - its middle is a little sunken, and the edges rise, it is perfectly felt blindly, it is convenient to use it. The power key, on the contrary, is slightly rounded towards the body, which does not greatly worsen its ergonomics. On the left side of the upper and lower edges there are audio and interface connectors, respectively.
The back cover is made of a single piece of metal, it is engraved with a glossy logo, cutouts for the camera, flash, second microphone and a mesh of the outgoing speaker are made. Under the cover there is a removable battery and slots for a memory card and two Mini-SIM, located one above the other. Replacing them will require removing the battery.
A collapsible case with metal elements is not an easy design task. Nevertheless, among smartphones of the last five years, you can recall several examples of its successful solution - for example, Samsung Wave, Wave 3 and Captivate had different, but quite successful and reliable cover designs. Lenovo decided to go its own way and designed the cover similarly to the plastic one - it is a plate with small latches around the perimeter. Plastic is more flexible, so these covers can be easily removed and replaced. At Lenovo S660, everything is more complicated: in order to correctly remove the cover, you need to pry it off with your fingernail, then slide it to the right and left, gradually snapping off the latches. Intuitively, you just want to pull the cover towards you, which makes it easy to damage the plastic grooves. Of course, there is a removal instruction in the documentation, which no one reads, and on the inside of the lid, but a sticker on the case would also be helpful. Because of all of the above, the lid does not sit very tightly in its place, there are no stickers from the seals on it, it bends slightly towards the battery and backlash from the bottom. All this is invisible in the case, but because of it it is not the most thin smartphone becomes even thicker.
Perhaps the strange cover is the main disadvantage of the device's design. As for the rest, it fits comfortably in the hand, the metal and weight are quite pleasant to feel in the hand.
Operating system and shell
One of the advantages of using skins, like pure Android, is the same user experience. V Fly smartphones you can always see "pure" Android, in Samsung and LG - TouchWiz and Optimus UI shells, which have almost the same appearance and functionality on devices of different price categories... Lenovo, until recently, was exactly the same. But the S660's shell consists of about 30% of the Lenovo launcher, the rest is pure "robot". Many of Lenovo's familiar apps, such as the power manager, are missing. So, the lock screen, notification bar, camera and settings menu are standard, and the desktop, which houses all installed applications, is from Lenovo.
The desktops retain their familiar functionality: support for themes, customization of animation, circular paging and support for gestures (for example, by swiping down on the desktop, you can open the notification bar, up - a list of recently launched applications).
This list can be presented in two forms: if you hold down the "Menu" key for a long time, a standard list for the operating system opens, if you use a gesture - a stripped-down version from the Lenovo shell.
All this beauty, literally "stretched" on Android 4.2.2, is perceived too negatively and raises questions, especially when you know that Lenovo Launcher (or Vibe OS) is a beautiful and functional shell, especially since there is already hardware similar to Lenovo on the market An S650 that looks like it should. It is hoped that this misunderstanding will be corrected in a fresh firmware.
Hardware platform
The "heart" of the smartphone is SoC MediaTek MT6582 - these are four Cortex-A7 cores, clocked at 1.3 GHz, plus the GPU Mali-400 MP2. Volume random access memory- 1 GB, of which about 700 MB remain free, 8 GB of built-in memory, of which 5.59 GB is allocated for user data. You can install a memory card and use it as your default storage.
The platform's capabilities are sufficient for smooth browsing of desktops, as well as for most modern games, and for playing high-definition video. In everyday life, performance problems do not arise, it is at the normal level, typical for most smartphones in the middle price segment.
The work of the Wi-Fi and GPS modules is not satisfactory, they have sufficient sensitivity and work quickly.
Multimedia functions are implemented in the smartphone at an average level. From the set of test clips, AC3 sound is traditionally not played and for some reason there was no picture in the ParallelUniverse.avi video, including in the omnivorous MX Video Player. When playing music in headphones, the sound quality is not bad, slightly above the average level of devices based on MediaTek chipsets, the volume is high.

The telephone functionality is realized at the proper level - the volume of the ringing and spoken loudspeakers is sufficient in most situations, the vibrating alert is average in strength, it is not always felt. You can record conversations from the line by standard means, the speakerphone works fine. The operation of two SIM-cards is implemented as standard - you can set the parameters of their operation in the settings, and then quickly change them through the switches in the notification shade. You cannot assign separate ringing and message melodies for different cards.
The smartphone is powered by a 3000 mAh battery. This is noticeably less than that of the champions - their batteries have a capacity of 4 Amperes and higher, but more than the average 2000-2500 mAh for devices with a screen diagonal of up to five inches. In Antutu Tester Lenovo S660 shows a decent result at the level of 760 points, but in other tests of autonomy the results are slightly less than expected.
In standby mode, the smartphone is practically not discharged. You can expect it to run for about two days with an average load and about three days with a light load.

You can get acquainted with the testing methodology in this material.
Display
Lenovo S660 has a 4.7-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of 960x540 pixels, there is no air gap. The minimum screen brightness is 9.6 cd / m2, 25% brightness corresponds to 120.4 cd / m2, 40% - 200 cd / m2, 50% - 234.6 cd / m2, 75% - 351.1 cd / m2, 100% - 460.7 cd / m2. Contrast - 1: 606. In terms of the range of brightness control, the screen looks very decent. Checking the quality of the factory calibration showed that the matrix is of good quality, it is distinguished by the color temperature that is too high up to 7500 K.
In real life, the screen looks good - the picture is bright and smooth, pleasing to the eyes, the viewing angles are high, it is readable in the sun, it is comfortable to work with the smartphone in the dark. The only drawback noticed is the lack of an oleophobic coating, due to which the glass quickly becomes covered with fingerprints, which are difficult to remove.
Cameras
The smartphone has two cameras - the main one with a resolution of 8 megapixels with autofocus and flash, and the front one is 0.3 megapixels.
The main camera is capable of taking good pictures with natural light, but noticeably gives in when there is little light. FullHD video is of average quality, but front-camera it is present purely nominally, cameras of similar quality are in most budget smartphones costing 1,500 hryvnia.
Outcomes
As a result, Lenovo S660 turned out to be a smartphone not without flaws. The relatively critical ones are the lid design and the quality of the front-facing camera, while the rest will hopefully be eliminated in more recent firmwares. At the same time, the smartphone showed itself quite well in everyday use, it is pleasant to use it. The very fact of the presence of a metal cover, good screen and a high-capacity battery bribes, in this case the overpayment looks reasonable. If the Lenovo S650 is more of a woman's smartphone, which can already be seen in the hands of many girls, then the Lenovo S660 is well suited for a man who needs a stern-looking smartphone with a screen diagonal of less than five inches for simple tasks.
Lenovo S660 (Silver)Notify when on sale
Lenovo S660 is a solution for those who are looking for a smartphone with a premium design or something close to it, dual SIM support, a good battery, and at the same time at a low price. In other words, Lenovo S660 is a budget reincarnation of a previously popular model.
The main differences from the Lenovo P780 model: the display is slightly smaller (4.7 "versus 5") and the battery is smaller (3000 mAh versus 4000 mAh). The rest of the smartphones are very similar, but the new and more efficient 4-core Mediatek MT6582 platform plays in favor of the Lenovo S660.

Equipment
The smartphone and accessories are neatly packed in a compact box made of thick cardboard.
In addition to Lenovo S660, the package includes: 1x battery, 1x charger block, 1x USB cable, 1x adapter, 1x protective film, 1x headset and documentation in Chinese.
A charger block with an output current of 1.5 A. American-style plug, but an adapter is included.
The USB cable looks very good and works flawlessly.
As for the budget class, the sound quality in the headphones is not bad, for telephone conversations or watching videos, they will do, but for music it is better to choose something better, preferably with ear pads.
The set contains only one battery.
Design
Lenovo S660 developers tried to give the smartphone a solid appearance, using a metal case by analogy with. But unlike the Lenovo P780, the Lenovo S660 is more compact and more comfortable in the hand. Its dimensions are 138 x 68.8 x 9.95 mm, and its weight is 151 grams.
Out of the box, the front panel is protected only by the factory film. Most likely, the main protection is provided by ordinary glass, at least on the manufacturer's website nothing is said about Gorrilla Glass or an analogue.
Touch control buttons - below, and even below - the main microphone. Unfortunately, the color of the buttons does not contrast at all with the background of the front panel, because of this they are almost invisible. The backlight and vibration partly save the situation.
The cover is metal. The back of the lid is brushed and has a distinctive metallic pattern, which makes the back look solid and less prone to scratches and fingerprints. But there is also a minus - it is slippery.
The main camera module hardly protrudes. Under the camera there is a single LED-backlight of low power, above - the hole for an additional microphone.
One external speaker. The sound quality is quite decent, but wheezing is heard at high volume.
The volume and power buttons are conveniently located on one of the side ends, the other is empty. From the side you can see that Lenovo S660 has a two-stage design, behind the main bezel, which is stylized like metal, there is another one, but much smaller and made of glossy plastic. It looks, of course, beautiful.
The microUSB connector is located on bottom end... Also on the bottom there is a hook for removing the cover. And it should be noted that in this part, the lid of the smartphone is loose. Perhaps this is the only remark about the assembly of Lenovo S660.
The jack for standard 3.5mm headphones is on the top.
The first time to remove the cover was quite problematic, but soon you can get used to it. Under the cover there is a compartment with a removable battery, one slot for memory cards and two for SIM of regular size, which are placed one below the other.
Display
The smartphone is equipped with a 4.7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Honestly, until I looked at the specifications of the Lenovo S660, I thought that its resolution was 1280 x 720 pixels. In general, most people will not have any discomfort about “seeing pixels”, the picture is clear, rich in color and with high viewing angles.
Also, there are no complaints about brightness, the display performed well even in the sun.
Performance
Lenovo S660 is based on the Mediatek MT6582 chipset, which is based on 4 CPU Cortex-A7 cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and 2 GPU Mali-400 MP2 cores. The amount of RAM is 1 GB, built-in - 8 GB, while the smartphone supports microSD memory cards up to 32 GB.
In Antutu, the smartphone scores over 17,000 points, which can be considered a good result. In other tests, the results are consistent.
The hardware of the Lenovo S660 allows it to easily handle 3D games such as Dead Trigger 2 or Real Racing 3. The smartphone also plays most 1080p video formats without any problems.
In general, the performance of Lenovo S660 is sufficient to solve the vast majority of modern tasks, moreover, quickly, without delays and slowdowns.
Communications
As befits an MTK smartphone, Lenovo S660 supports dual SIM. mobile connection represented by both 2G networks: GSM 900 MHz / 1800 MHz / 1900 MHz, and 3G: WCDMA 2100 MHz / 900 MHz. Despite the metal body, the signal reception is excellent, but the sound quality of the voice speaker is mediocre, you can hear it normally, but the sound is not clear.
Also, wireless technologies are represented by Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n technologies, Bluetooth version 4.0 and GPS / A-GPS. All technologies work flawlessly. For example, a GPS cold start is a few minutes, a hot one - seconds.
Cameras
The rear camera of Lenovo S660 is 8 megapixels with autofocus and LED-backlight, the front camera is with 0.3 megapixels, funny today focal length... The quality of the front camera is poor, but in good lighting conditions it will suffice for video calling. The rear is much better and, as for its class, has a pretty good quality, examples of photos can be seen below:

Battery
Time autonomous work is one of the main advantages of a smartphone. Considering its size, the Lenovo S660 is equipped with a very capacious 3,000mAh battery. And if you remember that the smartphone has a low display resolution and an energy efficient processor, then you can count on long battery life. According to the manufacturer, the battery should last for 7-10 hours in talk mode, and up to 35 days in standby mode.
Unfortunately, my sample has clear problems with the battery life. A smartphone does not live for more than a day, and it does not matter in which mode to use it. But I do not think that Lenovo is misleading with its data, rather the problem is in the software. The fact is that this device uses a non-native ROM Lewa OS. But since the smartphone stayed with me for a limited time, I was not puzzled by the problem of autonomy during. Perhaps the problem was in a bunch of incomprehensible Chinese programs that could run in the background and eat up energy. How the smartphone will behave on native firmware alas, I don’t know. Based on logic and experience, I think that it should withstand three days in inactive and two in mixed modes, at least the Antutu battery test indirectly confirms this.
Software
As said above, my Lenovo S660 sample runs Lewa OS non-native firmware, which is based on Android 4.2. The sewing itself is cool and a lot like MIUI. I would even call it a quality copy of MIUI. However, due to this firmware, the smartphone has problems with battery life.
Otherwise, the Lewa OS software is excellent. The interface is easy to understand, beautiful, completely russified, many high-quality applications. To start a full-fledged work, the system has enough applications, including google market, branded players, camera, task manager and more. But there is also a lot of Chinese "garbage" that will need to be removed on your own. In general, excellent firmware and software, but in this case there are problems with battery life. We must wait for the patch.
You can learn more about Lewa OS at the following.
It should be noted that the Lenovo S660 is actively growing over the community, so software problems are a temporary inconvenience that will soon be resolved by our Kulibins and Lenovo itself. By the way, own Lenovo firmware , also made by analogy with MIUI and is now developing quite well. In general, there is a choice.
Output
Lenovo S660 left an ambiguous impression after itself. In general, this is a promising smartphone, and it has a future in the budget class. The smartphone has an excellent display, dual SIM, solid metal design, good processor and a capacious battery, while being a budget product. As for the disadvantages, some of them are temporary and not essential, for example, a day of battery life due to software problems and minor ones - back cover backlash and speaker wheezing at high volume.

Lenovo s660 is a compact smartphone with a metal body and long battery life. This is perhaps the only smartphone of its kind with similar characteristics produced by lenovo. Small size, original design, rich color gamut of the display all this makes this device attractive and will not leave indifferent anyone who uses the gadget.
Lenovo s660's soft-touch back panel is made from a metal base and does not leave fingerprints. So you can safely not let go of your smartphone at least all day without being afraid to leave fingerprints on it. The lenovo s660 smartphone fits easily even in a small female hand. But this does not mean at all that this device is intended exclusively for women. A strong half of the population will also find their advantages in the lenovo s660.
Although the device is small in size, it has a very decent thickness, which makes a smartphone with such dimensions a kind of chubby. But there is a completely logical explanation for this, it's all in the voluminous battery, which gives the smartphone its thickness. Many design this device may seem boring and uninteresting, but the appearance does not at all affect the speed and quality of the smartphone.
The back cover of the gadget is made of real metal, which makes the case stable. Unfortunately, it is weaker on the smartphone than the plastic cover, which has a more flexible shape, so it sticks more tightly to the device. Under the cover of the smartphone, we see a 3000 mAh lithium-ion battery, two slots for mini SIM cards, as well as a slot for a memory card supporting up to 32 GB. The battery is removable, but it supports all three slots, so hot swap cards is impossible.
The outer side of the back of the lenovo s660 has a main 8MP camera with a built-in LED flash, which can also be used as a flashlight when installed the desired program... At the bottom of the cover is the main speaker, made in the form of a small grille. When the smartphone lies on the table with the speaker down, the sound becomes much worse.
The Micro-USB connector is located on the bottom of the device, and the headphone jack is on the top, which is quite convenient for using the device. True, there is one drawback - the connectors are not covered by anything, so the smartphone should be carefully protected from moisture and dust.
Despite all the pros and cons, the lenovo s660 smartphone has more pros than cons. This is reflected in its rich color reproduction, clarity - both front and main cameras, operational work 4-core processor and brushed metal casing with almost no fingerprints.

Small smartphone with a metal body and long battery life
The family of "long-playing" smartphones Lenovo, in the classification of mobile devices of the company united by the letter "P" (from the word Professional), has replenished with another curious product. The Lenovo S660 smartphone features a beneficial combination of balanced technical characteristics, relatively affordable cost, as well as some "proprietary" features of the line, such as a metal case and increased battery capacity. All this makes this device quite attractive in the eyes of a certain category of users.
If you try to understand the position of the device under investigation today in the mobile market, then it is worth noting, first of all, the fact that the device has a high-capacity rechargeable battery. This allows the smartphone to work without recharging much longer than conventional modern mobile devices, which automatically separates Lenovo S660 into a separate specific product niche. Lenovo S660 is not alone in this niche, other manufacturers also have similar solutions, for example, the Fly Evo Energy 4, which we recently tested, which is equipped with a battery of a record capacity, proved to be excellent. Lenovo has similar solutions: the most famous of them is the Lenovo P780 smartphone, which we talked about at one time, so today's test subject will have someone to compete with.

Contents of delivery
The Lenovo S660 smartphone comes in a small box made of solid cardboard with a single compartment inside. In appearance, the packaging does not pretend to be premium, but when you look inside, the attitude immediately changes. The inner structure of the box, the care and attention to detail with which everything is done, and even the corresponding notes in the inner compartment, marking what and where it is - all this sets up a very positive mood and adds sympathy and respect to the product contained inside.
The set consists of a compact charger (5 V, 1.5 A), a Micro-USB connecting cable, a wired stereo headset with a thin round cross-section wire and plastic headphones without vacuum ear cushions. In addition, in some versions of the delivery you can find a plastic case, pleasant to the touch, made of a rough matte material, which does not leave fingerprints. In addition to the obvious purpose of protecting the case from damage, this case has another function - with the help of a folding leg, it can be turned into a table stand.
Appearance and usability
In terms of dimensions, the Lenovo S660 smartphone is not too large, it fits perfectly in any hand, even a woman's. True, the body of the device has a decent thickness (it reaches a whole centimeter) and turned out to be weighty (it weighs more than 150 g). With a small size, but a decent thickness and weight, the device feels like a weighty bar to the hand, but there is an excuse for this: most of the Lenovo S660 case is occupied by a very voluminous battery, so in this case the excess thickness and weight are forgivable.
The smartphone has a very calm design, neat, but without frills and special charm - before us is a modest seemingly simple workhorse, the main purpose of which is not to show off, but to work hard and hard. The smartphone is not too easily soiled - all of its surfaces, except, of course, the glass of the screen, are matte, rough, and there are practically no fingerprints left on them.
The back cover is a fairly thick all-metal plate, such solutions are often found in Lenovo mobile products. By the way, the company presents the body of its S660 as "metal", but it is partially plastic with a metal-like coating. This applies to all four wide side edges, which look like blackened metal, but are actually plastic.
But the cover is really made of real metal, which, naturally, gives the device's casing strength, but it sits on its latches, unlike plastic covers, not "like molded". The material of plastic covers is usually more flexible and ductile, it stretches slightly when the fasteners snap into place, and the cover sits very tightly, which metal cannot have. Lid Lenovo S660 in any case crawls a little along the body, slightly bends and creaks, which is slightly annoying.
The cover is very difficult to remove, trying to pick up and pull it off with your fingernail is problematic and even painful, it is better to use some solid improvised tool. The cover hides a removable battery and two full-size Mini-SIM slots located one above the other. Memory cards are also supported here, so a third slot can also be found nearby. Most of the internal space of the case is occupied by the battery, which, of course, makes the largest contribution to the total weight of the smartphone. The battery is removable, but it supports all three card slots from below, so hot swapping is not possible.
On the outer side of the back of the smartphone there is a small square window of the main camera, framed by a slightly protruding bezel, a one-section LED flash, and below there is an array of small round holes that make up the grill of the main speaker.
The speaker grill is covered by the surface of the table, which is why the sound of the lying smartphone is partially muffled. The one-section LED flash can be used as a flashlight with preinstalled software. The flashlight has a blinking alarm mode, the flash shines brightly enough.
The entire front panel is covered with a flat protective glass without sides, a hole for the longitudinal metal grille of the earpiece has been cut in it. Nearby are the eyes of the front camera and sensors. Another useful element, the notification LED, shines with a bright dot here, at the top.
Below the screen, there is space for hardware buttons to control the system and applications. There is perhaps too much space left here: neat buttons of medium size are lost in the background and do not need so much free space at all. These buttons, of course, are touch-sensitive, they have a dim backlight white, the central icon is made in the form of a recognizable “four-leafed leaf”, traditional for Lenovo mobile products, and not a classic “house”.
There are only two mechanical keys on the sides of the device, they are located on the right side. The large metallic buttons have a soft springy travel and a distinct response, which are easy to find by the blind. Considering that the lock key is not on top, but on the side, there are no complaints at all about the mechanical controls of the Lenovo S660.
The Micro-USB connector is located here at the bottom end, and the headphone output is at the top. Connection mode external devices(USB OTG, USB Host) to USB port the machine is not supported. The connectors of the smartphone are not covered with any plugs and covers, because the device is not protected from water and dust. Not found on the case and the strap mount.
On sale you can find the Lenovo S660 smartphone of only one color - the one that is presented in our pictures. The developers themselves dubbed this color "Titanium".
Screen
Lenovo S660 smartphone is equipped with an IPS sensor matrix good quality, but far from the highest resolution. The physical dimensions of the display are 58 × 103 mm, the diagonal is 4.7 inches. At the same time, the screen resolution is 960 × 540, which gives a good, but very far from the record value of the density of dots per inch at 234 ppi.
The brightness of the display has both manual and automatic adjustment, the latter is based on the operation of the light sensor. The Lenovo S660 also has a proximity sensor that locks the screen when you bring the smartphone to your ear. Multi-touch technology allows you to handle 5 simultaneous touches.

Alexey Kudryavtsev, editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections, carried out a detailed examination using measuring devices. Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the test sample.
The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are not worse than that of Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the turned off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Lenovo S660, then they can be distinguished by their size):
Due to the difference in size and color tone of the screens, it is difficult to visually determine exactly which screen is actually darker, but statistics from the graphics editor show that the Lenovo S660 screen is slightly darker (its brightness in the photo is 93 versus 100 for the Nexus 7). The doubling of reflected objects in the Lenovo S660 screen is very weak, which indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS-type screen - One Glass Solution). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (glass-to-air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of strong external illumination, but their repair in case of cracked outer glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be changed. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (not very effective - the finger does not slide well), so fingerprints are removed more easily, and appear at a slower speed than in the case of ordinary glass.
At manual control brightness and when displaying a white field on the whole screen, the maximum brightness value was about 500 cd / m², the minimum - 12 cd / m². The maximum brightness is very high, which means, given the good anti-glare properties of the screen, readability even on a sunny day outdoors should be at an excellent level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable value. In the presence of automatic brightness control by the light sensor (it is located to the left of the front speaker slit). V automatic mode when the ambient light conditions change, the screen brightness rises, but decreases only after some actions on the part of the user, for example, after the cycle "put into sleep mode - activate". In complete darkness in automatic mode, the brightness is reduced to 12 cd / m2 (a bit dark, but you can still read), in an office lit with artificial light (about 400 lux), the brightness is set to 220 cd / m2 (just right), in a brightly lit environment (corresponds to illumination on a clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or slightly more) - increases to 420 cd / m², that is, not to the maximum. It turns out that the automatic brightness adjustment function does not work quite correctly. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flickering either.
V this smartphone a matrix of the IPS type is used. The micrographs show the typical IPS subpixel structure:
For comparison, you can see the gallery of photomicrographs of screens used in mobile technology.
The screen has good viewing angles without a significant color shift even with large gaze deviations from the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting the shades (aft of the darkest when looking to the right). For comparison, here are some photos showing the same images on the screens of Lenovo S660 and Nexus 7, while the brightness of the screens was initially set to about 200 cd / m². White field perpendicular to screens:
Note the acceptable uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field (when photographing, the color balance in the camera is forced to 6500 K). And the test picture:
Color reproduction is good and colors are rich on both screens, although there are differences in color balance. Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:
It can be seen that the color rendering at this angle in the case of Lenovo S660 has not changed much. And white box:
The brightness at an angle at the screens decreased (at least five times, based on the difference in exposure), and decreased by about the same amount. The black field, when deviated along the diagonal, lightens strongly and acquires a purple tint or remains almost neutral gray. The photos below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same for the screens!):
And from a different angle:
When viewed from a perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is good:
The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is quite high - about 850: 1. The response time for the transition black-white-black is 23 ms (11.5 ms on + 11.5 ms off). The transition between gray tones of 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes 36 ms in total. The gamma curve, plotted using 32 points at equal intervals in terms of the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal a blockage in either the highlights or the shadows. The exponent of the approximating power function is 2.32, which is slightly higher than the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve deviates little from the power dependence:
The color gamut is almost equal to sRGB:
The spectra show that the matrix filters mix the components together to a moderate extent:
As a result, the colors visually have a natural saturation. The balance of shades on the gray scale is not ideal, since the color temperature is noticeably higher than 6500 K and the deviation from the spectrum of a black body (ΔE) is large. However, in this case, the color temperature and ΔE do not change much from shade to shade - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of the color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since the color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)
To summarize: the screen has a high maximum brightness and has good anti-glare properties, so the smartphone can be used outdoors without any problems even on a sunny summer day. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable value. The mode with automatic brightness adjustment is of limited usefulness, since it only works upward, and even then in very bright environments it does not increase the brightness to the maximum value. The advantages of the screen include the absence of flickering and air gap in the layers of the screen, good uniformity of the black field, equal to sRGB color gamut and good - in visual assessment - color balance. The main disadvantage is the low stability of black to deviation of the gaze from the perpendicular to the plane of the screen. Nevertheless, taking into account the importance of characteristics for this particular class of devices, the screen quality can be considered high.
Sound
In terms of sound, the smartphone is nothing special. The main speaker is one here, it sounds loud enough, but without a noticeable presence low frequencies... The spoken speaker sounds about the same. However, this does not really affect the perception of sound during a conversation - the voice of a familiar interlocutor, timbre and intonation remain recognizable. The sound is significantly muffled if the device is placed on a hard surface with the screen facing up. The device uses a stock player to play music Google play Music with standard audio settings, such as an equalizer with several preset values. In general, the sound capabilities of the smartphone are modest, Lenovo S660 is not a solution for music lovers.
The device is not able to record a conversation from the line using the built-in means. The smartphone is equipped with a built-in FM radio, which traditionally works only with connected as external antenna headphones.

Camera
Lenovo S660 is equipped with two modules digital cameras... The front camera is equipped with only a VGA-module with a resolution of only 0.3 megapixels, it takes 640 × 480 images and does not have autofocus. At the same time, the quality turns out to be such that it is difficult to make out anything in the photo - the front camera is here, rather, for show.
The main rear camera is equipped with an 8-megapixel module with manual and automatic autofocus, shoots with a maximum resolution of 3264 × 2448. The settings menu here is classic, familiar from other devices with Android OS, not burdened with third-party user interfaces. There are several shooting modes in the menu, including HDR. Shooting can be done only by touching the screen - the volume key in this mode is responsible for digital zoom.

The video camera can shoot at a maximum resolution of 1080p (30 fps), examples of test clips shot in bright sunlight, as well as in cloudy weather, are presented below.
- Movie # 1 (51 MB, 1920 × 1080)
- Movie # 2 (53 MB, 1920 × 1080)

The foliage is well done, but with the exposure the camera missed a little. |
 |
Good sharpness in the distant shots and across the entire field of the frame. |
 |
Perhaps it was possible to take a picture and a lighter one. |
 |
The camera copes well with backlighting. |
 |
There are no loud noises in the shadows. |
 |
On light walls, you can see a good result of the noise reduction. |
 |
The number of the nearest car is distinguishable. |
 |
To distant shots, the sharpness falls very slowly and smoothly. |
 |
Even in medium planes, the foliage is not yet merged. |
 |
The camera copes poorly with macro photography. |
The camera is pretty good. She fulfills her 8 megapixels honestly, giving out a nice looking picture. Sharpness is fairly uniform and very good on almost all shots. The noise reduction works imperfectly, but it copes with its task well - the shadows are quite clean, although in some places you can see some graininess, as well as artifacts at the boundaries of objects, which can ruin small details. There is no noticeable sharping in the pictures, which speaks not only in favor of the program, but also in favor of the module itself. The dynamic range of the camera is quite wide, but exposure errors do occur at times.
In general, the camera is quite suitable for shooting various scenes.
Telephone part and communications
The smartphone works as standard in modern networks 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA, support networks fourth generation(4G) no, NFC is also not supported. Maximum speed wireless transmission data is limited by the HSDPA + standard (up to 21 Mbps download). As a standard, you can organize a wireless access point via Wi-Fi channels or Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct supported. The navigation module works only with the GPS system (with A-GPS) - there is no support for the domestic Glonass system. Sensor magnetic field, on the basis of which the electronic compass usually functions navigation programs, was not found among the modules of the device. Spontaneous reboots / shutdowns during testing were not observed, as well as slowdowns or freezes of the system.

Drawing letters and numbers of virtual keyboards is quite comfortable to operate. The layout and arrangement of the keys are standard: here you can switch languages by pressing a special button with the image of a globe, there is no highlighted top row with numbers - you will have to switch the layout every time. The phone application supports Smart Dial, that is, while dialing phone number the search in contacts is carried out immediately. In the keyboard settings, among other things, there is an activation of the input mode by continuous sliding from letter to letter. You can also slide the keyboard closer to one of the edges for easy one-handed use, but with a 4.7-inch screen, this doesn't seem like a big deal. This opportunity, most likely, went to the smartphone from its larger brothers in the mobile family.

The smartphone supports work with two SIM-cards, and in general, the work with them in the menu is organized according to the familiar principle: you can designate any of the SIM-cards as the main one for organizing voice calls, transferring data or sending SMS messages. When dialing a number, you also have the opportunity to choose the desired card. A SIM card can work with 3G networks in any slot, however, only one of the cards can work in this mode at the same time (the second will work only in 2G). Working with two SIM cards is organized according to the usual Dual SIM Dual Standby standard, when both cards can be in active standby mode, but cannot work at the same time - there is only one radio module.

OS and software
Lenovo S660 works in this moment on software platform Google Android is not the most recent version 4.2.2. The manufacturer changed the appearance and configuration of the user interface quite a bit, which is noticeable only in the absence of the application menu - all icons installed programs are immediately taken out directly to the work tables. Naturally, the creation of folders is supported, and most of the preinstalled programs have already been decomposed into them by the developers themselves. The rest of the interface practically does not differ from the proprietary Android interface. Preinstalled programs many, and besides really useful ones, such as the package office programs and file manager, here you can also find several games and many Yandex programs. All these applications are free, and they could easily be downloaded from the Play Store on their own, if the owner of the smartphone had such a desire.

Performance
The Lenovo S660 hardware platform is based on the MediaTek MT6582 single-chip system (SoC). This is not the most powerful of the MTK platforms: although it has 4 processor cores, it is not very powerful Cortex-A7 cores. The processor cores here operate at a frequency of 1.3 GHz, and the far from the most productive Mali-400MP video processor is also responsible for graphics processing. The device has only 1 GB of RAM. With the built-in memory, the smartphone is not doing better - it is only 8 GB nominally, but of which only about 5.5 GB is available to the user for his needs. True, to expand the built-in memory in a smartphone, you can install microSD card, but the device, unfortunately, does not support the mode of connecting external devices to the USB port (USB Host, USB OTG) - you will not be able to read information from a flash drive connected to it.

To get an idea of the platform performance of the tested smartphone, a standard set of tests was carried out. According to the results of the data obtained during the testing, the Lenovo S660 system demonstrated not very high performance indicators, quite expected from this MediaTek platform.
All the results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks, we have summarized in tables for convenience. Several other devices from different segments are usually added to the table, also tested on similar latest versions benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the resulting dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison, it is impossible to present the results from different versions benchmarks, so many worthy and current models- due to the fact that they once passed their "obstacle courses" on previous versions test programs.

In general, according to the results of all tests, Lenovo S660 can be classified as a device with an average (even slightly below average) performance. In any case, at the moment, the hardware performance of the smartphone should be sufficient to perform most of the basic tasks that applications from the Google Play Store can deliver, except perhaps for demanding 3D games, but this device is not intended for them. A display that is modest in size and resolution and a large battery at the same time make it more of a reliable business assistant than a multimedia combine for entertainment.
Test results in MobileXPRT, as well as the latest versions of AnTuTu and GeekBench 3:
When testing the graphics subsystem in the 3DMark cross-platform test for the most productive smartphones, it is now possible to run 3DMark in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (due to which the speed can rise above 60 fps).

Video playback
For testing "omnivorous" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special features subtitles) We used the most common formats that make up the bulk of the content available on the Web. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is often impossible to process modern versions at the expense of processor cores alone. Also, do not expect a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are summarized in a single table.
According to the test results, the Lenovo S660 was not equipped with all the necessary decoders, in this case sound ones, which are necessary for full playback of most of the most common files on the network. To play them successfully, you will have to resort to using a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, in it, you will first have to change the settings, switching from hardware decoding to software or to a new mode called Hardware +(not supported by all smartphones), only then the sound will appear. All results are summarized in a single table.
| Format | Container, video, sound | MX Video Player | Native video player |
| DVDRip | AVI, XviD 720 × 400 2200 Kbps, MP3 + AC3 | reproduced normally | reproduced normally |
| Web-DL SD | AVI, XviD 720 × 400 1400 Kbps, MP3 + AC3 | reproduced normally | reproduced normally |
| Web-DL HD | MKV, H.264 1280 × 720 3000Kbps, AC3 | Hardware + | |
| BDRip 720p | MKV, H.264 1280 × 720 4000 Kbps, AC3 | plays fine with decoder Hardware + | video plays fine, no sound¹ |
| BDRip 1080p | MKV, H.264 1920 × 1080 8000Kbps, AC3 | plays fine with decoder Hardware + | video plays fine, no sound¹ |
¹ the sound in MX Video Player was only played after switching to software decoding or to a new mode Hardware +; the standard player does not have such a setting
To test the display of video files on the screen of the device itself, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see "Methodology for testing video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices)"). Screenshots with an exposure of 1 s helped to determine the nature of the frame output of video files with different parameters: the resolution varied (1280 by 720 (720p) and 1920 by 1080 (1080p) pixels) and the frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frames / with). In our tests, we used the MX Player video player in the Hardware mode, as there were a lot of artifacts in the Hardware + mode. The test results are summarized in the table:
Note: If both columns Uniformity and Skips green ratings are set, this means that, most likely, when watching movies, artifacts caused by uneven alternation and skipping of frames will either not be visible at all, or their number and visibility will not affect the viewing comfort. Red marks indicate possible problems related to the playback of the respective files.
The intervals between frames (or groups of frames) alternate slightly unevenly and in the case of files with 50 and 60 fps, some frames are always skipped. However, in general, if we restrict ourselves to the typical 24 fps for movies and TV series, then there are no special complaints about video playback. When playing video files with an aspect ratio of 16: 9 (720p and 1080p), the image of the actual video file is displayed exactly on the edge of the screen. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 - all shades are displayed in the shadows and highlights.
Battery life
The capacity of the lithium-polymer battery installed in Lenovo S660, of course, does not reach the record value of the Fly Luminor IQ4501, but, nevertheless, it is a weighty 3000 mAh. According to the manufacturer itself, the smartphone is capable of operating up to 36 hours of talk time and up to 35 days of standby time. The numbers look fabulous (in both senses), in reality everything turned out to be more prosaic. According to the test results, the subject showed excellent results in battery life in its class, but the device is not a champion in this regard.
Continuous reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) at the minimum comfortable brightness level (the brightness was set to 100 cd / m²) lasted 25 hours until the battery was completely discharged. When you continuously watch high quality (HQ) YouTube videos at the same brightness level through home network Wi-Fi the device lasted 9.5 hours, and in 3D games mode - just under 5 hours.
Outcome
As for the cost of Lenovo S660, in our market the price of this smartphone is set at approximately 8 thousand rubles or a little higher (gray devices can be purchased at a price of 6,000 rubles). According to the test results, the novelty can be safely attributed to the average level: the device has a very good screen with a comfortable diagonal, a very strong and well-designed case with a metal lid, quite tolerable ergonomics and good hardware performance. And of course, here it is necessary to note once again the most important feature of the tested device - its unusually long battery life. In combination with the listed advantages and a very low price (for the Russian market), this makes Lenovo S660 quite an interesting acquisition in the eyes of those users who value their mobile assistant not for the image, but for its working qualities. The Chinese have created an excellent balanced model, and the gradual price reduction is only good for it.
In general, Lenovo s660 is not bad budget smartphone, which fulfills the funds invested in it by 150 percent. Judge for yourself, there is a 4-core processor on board with 1300 MHz for each core, this is enough to use all applications, as well as play most games on operating system Android, the only "but" 1 GB of RAM is not enough, although for watching videos, surfing the Internet, this is enough. It should be added that the OS is stable and fast. Also, there are two cameras 8 megapixels and 0.3 megapixels, respectively, the pictures are not the best, but Lenovo s660 is not a camera, besides, it will not forget about the cost of the device. The strongest side of the smartphone is the battery, which is capacious and allows it to be operated at maximum load for about a day; for some people, in non-intensive mode, the battery lasts 4-5 days. Summarizing all of the above, we recommend a smartphone for a detailed examination and acquaintance
