Lenovo A7000 launched in India, competitively priced at 8,999 INR – a notch up the A6000

[dropcap]L[/dropcap]enovo reported that they have sold 3,00,000 A6000s every since its launch and they are not going to stop at that! Leveraging and carrying on this success they have officially launched the A7000 which was unveiled earlier this year at the MWC 2015. We always knew that the pricing would be competitive and A7000 being a 5.5 incher, would be pitched against the highly popular and successful competitors – Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G and YU Yureka. So what’s the price you ask? Yes the heading said it all folks, Rs. 8,999. So before we start talking about the spec to price ratio and how this compares with the A6000 and competition lets do a headsup of the specifications:

• Display – 5.5-inch (1280 × 720 pixels, 267ppi) IPS display
• Processor – 1.5 GHz Octa-Core MediaTek MT6752M processor with 16-core Mali-T760 GPU
• Internal Memory – 8GB internal memory, expandable memory with microSD
