Lenovo S560 – A New mtk6577 Smartphone for Audiophiles! (w/Pics and Quick Specs)

Soon to be released is the Lenovo S560. And when we say soon – we mean Lenovo soon, as opposed to JiaYu / JaiYu soon.

Likely this phone will be marketed to younger generations with it’s excellent audio specs. The phone also sports some interesting colors as opposed to the standard grays, blacks and whites.

 

 

 

 

As mentioned in the title, it will be mtk mt6577 / mtk6577 dual-core. IPS 4.0″ 800*480. 5mp camera front and .3 in back. Though the .3 is a bit disappointing, I still have no qualms about a 5mp camera. Unless you plan on printing 11″x15″ or doing huge crops, 5mp is more than enough. Likely the quality will be standard fare, which is to say decent, but not reaching Zopo heights.

Let’s get on with the Juice. The Lenovo s560 supports standard Dolby and Dolby Digital 3, as well as “Smart Music” / “Smart Sound” tech.

It would be nice to see a 1GB/960*540 mtk mt6577 / mtk6577 option from Lenovo. Lenovo has chosen to put 512MB RAM in the S560. Perhaps the users they market too won’t notice or care about the difference. Which, admittedly is slight, or possibly virtually non-existent depending on your use.

    Why Lenovo ruined such a nice cheap phones with 512mb ram? What’s the difference between this an A789?

      The difference is the hardware audio capabilities (speaker/Dolby Digital capable), color and style. I agree 100%, 1GB in the a789 and this phone would make them a lot more desirable. 4.3″-4.5″ LCD with 960*540 would be nice too. Cheers.

    My apology for very late comment to this article. Right now in January 2013 just 4 months after this article posted, the S560 price tag is about US$230. Compare to the newest product from Oppo R817 that has the same cathegory as a music mobile phone, this Lenovo S560 surely a good bargain. Yes, it‘s short on RAM capacity and camera resolution than Oppo R817 but as far as I concern the specs are almost the same with similar feature on audio department. So, to my opinion this one is not a let down mobile. But, if you‘re a such price sensitive person I suggest to pick other competitive product like Newman N1 or Neo N02-M (recently upgraded to Neo N02i IPS LCD‘s). Its price tag just about US$170.
