Lenovo S860 is a beefy bruiser with a blockbuster battery

Lenovo might have bought Motorola, but it's still making own-brand mobiles, with three new phones on show at MWC.

Lenovo S860 Review

The Lenovo S860 would have been a very good smartphone to buy if it was available for a couple of thousand less than its actual price. On the other hand, at the asking price, Lenovo needed to give better performance and more storage.

Very long battery life ; Pictures taken from the camera are above expectations ; Doesn't heat up much when gaming ; Can charge other smartphones and devices

UI makes screen look cluttered ; Camera takes a long time to focus ; Performance is not good. Not suited for gaming and rigorous multitasking ; Only 16 GB internal storage with no micro-SD support
