Lenovo A60+ (Price: P4,699)
What's hot:
Priced even more aggressively this smartphone-giving season--P4,699 from the original P12,999 SRP--and with a free case and screen protector at that, the A60+ is more than likely to draw interest from the price-sensitive folk.
Dual-SIM functionality is and will always be a plus in our books--unless it is wonky, obviously. The loudspeaker round the back surprisingly packs quite a punch.
Despite sticking to Gingerbread and lagging two software generations behind Jelly Bean, the preferred Android dessert of today, the device works with minimal lag. Additionally, the custom user interface skinned over Gingerbread--with its round, stylized icons; notification bar toggles; and intuitive controls--is among the best we've seen in any Android.
Best of all, the Lenovo A60+ feels sturdy. Honestly, we're not surprised because the Lenovo mobiles we've played before were all well-made. The build quality, combined with the form factor's chrome lining, makes the phone appear somewhat more expensive than it actually is. What's not:
The Lenovo A60+, as capable and well-built as it may be, is still a single-core variant with Gingerbread on tap. Given today's market sees brands leapfrogging one another with handsets sporting dual-core processors; newer Android versions; and equally attractive price points, that's clearly not a compliment.

What's hot:
A longer-lasting uptime is the Lenovo P700i's strongest selling point, and we're happy to say that it delivers on its promise. The 2500mAh battery inside the phone powers it for up to two days--well, probably three if you use WiFi and 3G a little sparingly. Its bread and butter aside, the P700i is another solidly manufactured handset from Lenovo.
The textured back cover provides better grip and lends well to single-handed use. There's room for two SIM cards, which is, as previously mentioned, always great. Wireless FM works nicely and allows recording. The feature is absolutely perfect for those who rely on mainstream music and FM banter to get them through long transit times.
Also on deck for Lenovo's P700i is a dedicated shutter key as well as a wealth of shooting options, including HDR, panorama, and multi-angle modes.
And did we say that it if you purchase the P700i (which is basically a dual-core Lenovo P700), you'd get a free case and an extra power pack as well?
What's not:
Quite on the hefty side, obviously because of its thick 2500mAh cell, which is another way of saying that it is not for the skinniest of jeans or the smallest of pockets. Other than that, there's really not much to nitpick here. (Obviously, we're fans of the Lenovo P700i, aren't we?)
