A while back I posted about the flash sale of Lazada where they featured the Lenovo A7000 Plus. Several bloggers were invited to the unboxing of the Lenovo A7000 Plus at Lazada HQ. There were tech bloggers and lifestyle bloggers.
Everyone had different blogging techniques that I found interesting to see. One was making a video blog on the spot. Another blogger brought her own lamp. And some would use natural light (aka, bring the unit to the window and use sunlight) for their shots. I opted to trust the camera of my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) and Photoshop.
Some would write on the spot. And there were others, like me, who opted to take our work home.
I look forward to events like these because they give me a chance to fiddle with the gadgets. And that’s exactly what we got to do today.
Opening the box revealed the following contents:

Considering the price I was expecting a low-end phone with entry-level specs. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that quality does not have to be expensive. Its features are almost comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S6. Its response time was really fast. I also wondered about the glass since Samsung comes with Gorilla glass and was told that it uses Dragontrail, instead of Gorilla glass. Dragontrail and Gorilla are very similar in performance. The main difference … the manufacturer.
The camera took really good pictures, too. Both the front and back cameras. We tried to compare the rear camera of our phones with that of the Lenovo A7000 Plus and it stood up well.
The Lenovo A7000 Plus retails at P7,999 only at Lazada. Click here to purchase your very own Lenovo A7000 Plus today.
