Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Lenovo A789 operates on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and is powered by a Mediatek MT6577 chipset, featuring a 1.0 GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU and a PowerVR SGX531u GPU. The performance is adequate for basic tasks such as web browsing, social media, and light gaming, though 512MB of RAM can be limiting for multitasking and more intensive applications. Users looking for expandable storage will appreciate the microSDHC card slot, complementing the internal 4GB storage.
