“Lenovo S860 is already available in the market and with a price tag of INR 18,000 the device is definitely an interesting offering.The standout feature is the gigantic 4,000mAh battery and that’s beyond any shadow of doubt.However, the smartphone is not a powerhouse when it comes to performance, but the quad-core processor, capable GPU and 2GB of RAM can just hold things together – which is more than enough for a mid-range offering.Software on the Lenovo S860 is a let-down. It doesn’t compliment the hardware configure that is reasonable for the price tab, but as we said earlier, the company can correct it with timely firmware upgrades and patches. The camera is another aspect that can be partially improved with the software.”

“The Lenovo S860 does not perform as well as the current crop of popular mid-range Android phones such as the Xiaomi Mi 3 and Asus Zenfone 5. Considering it's priced higher than either of those two devices, things really don't look good for it. The battery is of course a compelling argument in favour of the S860. You should be able to get at least a day and a half worth of uninterrupted usage including a reasonable amount of time spent on calls, messaging, Web surfing, gaming and watching videos - but as tempting as that sounds, you'll have to decide whether it's worth putting up with this phone's bulk, weight, and average performance.”

“The Lenovo S860 brings a metallic sturdiness along with awesome battery life to the table. While the user interface does need a facelift, it can be fixed using third party launchers and icon packs. If you are not one of the benchmark rank brags, the Lenovo S860 can easily impress you.”

Hello, I have a Levono S860 dual SIM and the problem is if I insert the SIM card in slot 1 (3G) I don't have a signal from my service provider but if I insert the same SIM card in slot 2 it works perfectly, but I cannot unfortunately benefit from 3G and that is very annoying. I changed the SIM card but the same thing happens.

Pretty sure you have a lot of installed apps or a lot of apps running at the same time.Open Settings > Apps > swipe 'til you see Running. You should see all the apps running and the RAM consumed. Personally, I don't let my apps consume over 80% of my RAM, I immediately close some.

Open Settings --> Look for the option with a square icon with letter A in it --> the first option after you tap it is the language selection, simply look for English there. Good luck!
