This is a basic smartphone and perfect for first time users.
Have been using it for 2 months now and I am pretty satisfied with it.

Pros:
Good rear camera. Clicks sharp images.
Fast processing though it lags sometimes.
Basic games run decently. Haven't played high end games.
Perfect size, easy to hold.
Amazing flash.

Cons:
Battery backup is average.
Poor front facing camera.
Brightness of screen is not that high and one would face problems in sunny days.

Thats pretty much it.

Though it has just 2050 mah battery,but it gives good battery backup whatsoever even after installing lots of apps including HD games.
Even after playing high end games continuosly.
With Moderate Usage u will definately get 1 day backup for sure.
According to the price range it is the best smartphone with all complete basic requirements...!!!

Cons:
Camera

lenovo a1000 is really a good low budget phone..specially for android beginners i ordered this phone for my father .
its medium size lets u to operate it with one hand easily. touch is smooth, camera is ok( coz its only 5mp) . front camera is not good coz its 0.3 but ok for skype .
battery backup is a whole day with 1-2 hours of data usage and with normal calls,,
ram is 1gb with 1.3 quad core so it will not disappoint u. i installed many apps and games..


you can go blindly for it if u are...

Pros:
1. Being a budget phone, it gives you all possible features at a satisfactory quality level.
2. Main camera is good in daylight.
3. Good quality of wifi connection.
Cons:
1. Heating: Battery gets overheated very quickly and drainage is also very fast.
2. Display quality is not up to the mark.

Verdict from my end: At this price range, you can not expect much better phone than this.

Opinion:
Go for it if you want a standard budget phone. Don't install apps that you don't use atleast once daily on this phone as it gets...

works good as per the price
GO FOR THIS IF you have the following two
1. if budget is low
2. if you can keep it safe (not for those who don't care about their belongings)

After 1 week usage.
Phone is good.
Battery is 2050mah its good but it could be 3000 mah at least.
Rear camera 5mp with fixed focus is superb.
Front camera not that good.but OK.
Internal memory and ram is good as its 8gb and 1gb.
Rear Cam pics are clear.
Overall phone is good. Its worth for 4 stars.
