BIG SCREEN, SLENDER STYLE.
If you can only carry one device, then the slender Lenovo S930 smartphone should be it. A 6” high definition wideview display with the ease of a tablet and convenience of a 3G phone make it more fun to call friends, watch movies, video chat or play games. Add in Dual cameras, Dolby Digital Plus audio, and Dual SIM—the Lenovo S930 smartphone has it all.

Lenovo S930.

One of the value for money 6 inch phone with dual dolby speaker.
The Lenovo S930 is available at RM1099 Warranty from Lenovo Malaysia,RM 899 for APset.

The Lenovo S930 is an Android 4.2 Jelly Bean dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) phablet and features a 6-inch HD (720x1280) display. It is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6582 processor with Mali-400 MP and 1GB of RAM. The Lenovo S930 sports an 8-megapixel rear camera and also includes a 1.6-megapixel front-facing camera. The phablet includes 8GB of inbuilt storage, and support expandable storage (unspecified maximum storage). It packs a 3000mAh battery and weighs 170 grams. It comes with dimensions 170x86x8.65mm.

I will be making my own personal review of this phone comparing it with my Note 3, A850, Nexus 4.

Home Screen Smoothness:
Decent, quite comparable to my Note 3 and A850. Not as super fast like Nexus 4 but very decent indeed.
No apps drawer and main screen which similar with iPhone main screen only which is nice and less confusing at times.

Build Quality:
Very decent, of couse it wont be as good as Note 3 due to its PU leather or the glass back of Nexus 4.
Its indeed nice to hold and it does not have a cheap feeling to it when you are holding it.

Picture comparison. Note 3 vs Nexus 4 vs A850 vs 930.
Taken from my another S930 in the room with no lights or flash.

Camera:
A decent 8MP, does the job well. Not as good as my old Samsung S3 or Note 2 8MP snapper.
Does the job in good lighting, night shot is not as good without flash.
But far better than the 5MP of A850 as its a rubbish camera.

Gaming & Movie:
I normally play Clash Of Clan and for me is fast and smooth enough but with a large 6" screen, dual stereo front speaker its a favorable experience in gaming and especially watching movie on the go.

Surprising to me the 1GB memory is good enough is sufficient enough as I have not been using 1GB RAM for quite sometimes as 2GB was my minimum standard.

Battery Life:
3.5 hours browsing on 3G + 2 hours gaming and 1.5 hour talk time last me 1 1/2 hours battery life.
My view that the A7 quad core is powerful but yield a good power saving features.

Summary:
Its a good phone, able to cater to my daily needed, fast and smooth, no issue, good battery life with dual sim.
Call reception is better than my Note 3 and 3G reception and speed is better from Note 3 as well.

If lenovo upgrade to 13.1 Sony sensor camera, 2GB RAM. This phone will be a killer.
Processor wise it does the job for me.

If your comparing with other similar Lenovo phones:

A880 : Lower 2200mah battery on a 6 inch and horrible 5MP camera.
S939: Faster Octacore processor and Mali MP450 compared to 400MP on S930. 20K Antutu benchmark.
But no stereo speaker and running Octacore on 3000mah battery wont yield good battery life from my view.
Who needs Octacore anyway with 1GB RAM.

Im happy with my purchase and Lenovo give me the mindset that I do not need to spend 2000 on a phone.
Below 1000 is good investment on a phone nowadays.
