Platform and Memory
Being a mid-range device in 2015, the A7000 offers several hardware features that are considered par for the course at this stage: 1.5GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6752m SoC with eight Cortex-A53 cores and a Mali-T760MP2 GPU. There’s 2GB of RAM, 8GB storage, a microSD card slot that can increase storage to 32GB, and Android 5.0 out of the box. Lenovo was oft-criticized in the past for its custom skin, Vibe UI, but the manufacturer has fixed several shortcomings in its latest iteration, Vibe UI 3.0. The interface certainly looks more modern, and goes well with the contrast-rich screen.
