Comparison
As we mentioned earlier the device can face a good competition to the recently launched WYNNCOM G41 and hence we will be quickly comparing the specs of this two device. Wynncom comes with the same screen size of 4-inch and same 1GHz Dual Core powered Processor but the chipset can be different. Both get support of 512 MB RAM which can be enough for using the phone primarily for the social applications. The internal storage capacity is also 512MB in case of Wynncom which look weak when compared to 4GB pre-provided internal storage of Lenovo A390 but both can be further extended up to 32GB with the help of microSD card. The primary camera used in Lenovo’s device is powerful with 5MP camera when compared to Wynncom’s 3 MP camera but there is at least secondary VGA camera for the video calling purpose in Wynncom when there is NO secondary camera in A390. The battery power is same in both the device which is 1500mAh and both support basic connectivity features like Wifi, Bluetooth and 3G. Apart from all this we should not ignore the price tag of both the device. The Lenovo A390 cost around 2500 INR more than Wynncom’s G41 and hence tough to declare the winner here.
