Dual SIM support and a Mediatek MT6577 chipset paired with a dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 processor put the Lenovo A789 firmly in entry-level territory. It runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich on just 512 MB RAM, so multitasking is limited, and the 4.0-inch TFT capacitive display keeps things compact at a 55% screen-to-body ratio. Storage is thin too: 4 GB onboard, though a microSD card up to 32 GB helps stretch that.
The 5 MP rear camera with autofocus handles basic shots and 720p video, while the VGA front camera is there mostly for the sake of having one. A 2000 mAh battery keeps the 154.8g body running, and you still get FM radio, an FM transmitter and a 3.5mm jack for the essentials. Lenovo A789 price in Malaysia starts from RM249.
Wifi b/g/n, GPS with A-GPS and HSPA data round out the connectivity, making this a phone built for calls, texts and light browsing rather than anything demanding.
