this coverage of MWC is brought to you by bitdefender mobile security Lenovo's big phone looks to pack quite a wallop in terms of longevity it's Josh of agar from Android thority what's going on everybody and this is the Lenovo 860 in this first looking hands-on Lenovo's biggest offering here at MWC is the s 860 a large smartphone packin a huge 4000 milliamp hour battery underneath a nice brushed metal body the body of the phone does feel quite nice as Lenovo was able to keep things from getting way too thick at just around ten point three millimeters and still pretty light at around 0.4 pounds it's not hard to get a good grip around this phone as the flat sides make it pretty easy to get a grip around the 5.3 inch screen speaking of which this 5.3 inch IPS display packs 720p resolution and provides some pretty vibrant colors the Nova's colorful UI does come through quite nicely and the high brightness usually associated with IPS displays was definitely on display it's not a difficult display to manipulate by any means making this on par with many of the 5-inch offerings out there powered by a quad-core MediaTek CPU clocked in at one point three gigahertz performance is pretty reliable if somewhat noticeably slower than some of the more high-end processing packages out there two gigabytes of RAM does help with multitasking and sixteen gigabytes of storage or is available dual front-facing speakers are also here but our surroundings didn't make it very easy to really judge their quality the big story here however is definitely the four thousand milliamp hour battery unit much larger than a number of phablet batteries out there the s 860 can go for up to 43 hours of talktime and 40 days of standby whether or not those claims are actually true doesn't quite matter as it is still clear that this phone will please those who need power throughout the day and then some the UI used on the s 860 might not be the most polished Android iteration out there but it does get the job done even if the lack of an app drawer might be a little off-putting for some now-enhanced do it apps for photo imaging and for sharing files do bring more functionality to the experience one in particular that we liked was the shara tap which allowed for group sharing and also the manipulation of content across a wireless connection the s 860 will be available for the starting price of 349 dollars making it a viable alternative to a number of more expensive smartphones out there once again this is Joshua Vergara bringing you the latest from the Mobile World Congress here in Barcelona Spain stay tuned for the rest of our coverage
