The sub-Rs. 10,000 smartphone segment in the country seems to be the one every OEM wants to grab a share of. The same has resulted in quite a few value-for-money devices getting launched in the country. The latest device to get launched in this segment is the Lenovo A7000. The smartphone has been launched with a price tag of Rs 8,999 and it locks horns directly with the YU YUREKA. The smartphone will follow the popular flash sales model and will be available exclusively on flipkart.
The registrations for the first flash sale to be held on 15th April, 2015 at 2pm will commence today at 6pm and will end on 14th April, 2015 midnight. The device broke cover back at the MWC 2015 earlier this year. The Lenovo A7000 comes with a 5.5-inch display with a 64-bit octa-core Mediatek SoC doing duty inside it. One of the highlights of the package is its DOLBY ATMOS surround sound which enhances the audio experience when using headphones and comes across as quite a useful feature for a budget device.
