Display
One of the trade-offs of the Lenovo A616's low price is evident in its display. Sporting a 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, the viewing experience is limited, especially with a pixel density of only 178 ppi. This results in visible pixilation and less sharp images when compared to modern phones. Despite its shortcomings, the screen size and IPS technology do manage to provide adequate brightness and decent color reproduction, which were acceptable for basic tasks like browsing and texting in 2015.
