Lenovo is one of them which has come with a very hot phone interestingly which is an entry-level smartphone, famously known for their A series There seems to be stiff competition though from Google Android One which is making manufacturers to design phone innovatively by bringing on same price range smartphones. 

A smartphone that fits your pocket: Lenovo A380

Lenovo very smartly designed the phone brings nothing extravagant to the entry-level smartphone market, with minimalistic hardware that is powered by latest Android KitKat OS. 

Getting to know about Lenovo A328

Now that is an amazing deal.

General observation & verdict

Lenovo A328 is truly a great smartphone however there are enough players in the market who can bring the honeymoon down for them. 

We would have expected it to be priced at INR 6500/- which would have had a net trend in that space. However knowing Lenovo just like Blackerry, we can see a price cut in next few weeks time.
