Lenovo s60 119.99 usd tomorrow only on Ali Express!

Dard23

If you check the Ali express website or app you'll see tomorrows deal. This looks like a fantastic phone for the price of just over a hundred euros. Snapdragon 410 processor and 5 inch 720p display, 13 megapixal rear and 5 megapixal front camera. Also has 2gb ram and 4g support. I really can't see a negative apart from the 8gb internal memory, but for the price! Also believe this has lollipop update out which makes sense as the snapdragon processor supports 64bit. Negatives anyone? Sorry if I missed anything or left anything out!

Have you got a direct link for this?

You'll have to add on customs and VAT etc, which could add 25 euro, maybe more to that price. And Aliexpress could take a long time to arrive. And on top of all that be wary of the sellers, there's a lot of fake lenovo phones going about from what I understand.

There is no feedback at all from the seller. Probably not a good sign. Was very close to snapping one up as my S4 battery life is gone to the dogs.

Obviously you know this is legit now, however if you weren't sure also bear in mind that Ali express are advertising this on their main page as a daily deal which I don't think they would do if it was fake.

I bought the Umi Hammer for a friend a few weeks ago which cost 139 euro, it was delivered hassle free like a week later with no custom charges.

Just picked one up, thanks op. Looks like a great deal

There's no guarantee that you won't get stung. You're better off doing your sums and deciding yourself if the price with the tax is still worth it. If it is, then happy days.

Was gonna buy, but no gorilla glass is a huge downside

Also of less importance, buttons are not backlit

What would be the extra with tax on that price?


Its dual sim I read, but is one a microsim and the other standard?

True but a small case and tempered glass protector sorts that out, I'd say you could get one from Ali express for a couple of euro. Once again, look at the price for such a decent spec phone.

One micro and one nano

I'm kinda tempted by this thing myself

Xiaomi Redmi 2, 2gb version seems like a better deal at €129 delivered on Aliexpress to me:

4.7 inch 720p Display 312 ppi
Gorilla Glass 2
16 GB, 2 GB RAM
Snapdragon 410 Quad core 1.2Ghz
8 MP rear camera
2 MP front camera

For the Gorilla Glass alone its worth the extra €19. If the Lenovo falls there is good chance the screen will break without any protection, and no need to buy screen protectors

with free shipping, u might have to pay 23% VAT (27$ in this case) + 7 euro an post handling fee.

StFaustino

Saw this offer too.. and just wondering Is there any issue with compatibility with Irish networks? bands etc?

PapaBooje

Almost pulled the trigger, than read more reviews and realised everything is good about this phone (including good camera) except for what's crucial - the battery life. People charge it twice a day. I definitely don't fancy that.

Dublinproud

Just wondering whats the safest way of paying on aliexpress seen as it doesn't look like they accept Paypal?

Card, the payment is refundable up to 60 days from date of purchase if goods don't arrive, or if not as described by the seller.
Just have a look at ali expres' own terms

RossieMan

Aliexpress has its own payment system, they hold your money until
You tell them you're happy.

Anyone else have issues tracking this purchase? I received a DHL tracking number from seller but when I enter it in DHL web site I get:

xxxxxxxxx(Not found): No result found for your DHL query. Please try again.

PeterDuggan

Mine hasn't even shipped yet.

mccard

Heh, just received this from the seller when I queried it:

Dear
Sorry for replying you late.
Please don’t worry.
Your parcel has been sent out and our shipping company is processing it now.
After they process well, they will give DHL directly and then you'll find tracking information online.
Hope you can understand
Best Regards
Sarah-Eternal Team

Looks well dodgy?

RossieMan

Ethernal team are one of the biggest sellers on aliexpress. I think you're fine, most if not all sellers don't actually have any stock, they all use resellers.

dohouch

Somebody is taking their sweet Chinese time.

Paid for on 9th July, supposedly shipped on 15th July, got shipping number, then got new shipping number, but even though tracking site "en.4px.com" (the only site that did recognise tracking number ) there was no location given until today

and

Hong Kong.................still a long way from Kerry

Alanstrainor

I went through a phase of ordering a good amount of stuff (jerseys and such) through Aliexpress, and all of this pretty typical I've found. Even from big sellers. I received counterfit/dodgey goods, even from sellers that were huge and well known to be *good*. I just wouldn't bother with the place these days to be honest.

dohouch

Got mine yesterday. 41 days from order to delivery. Seems O.K. so far. Very tied down, runs Playstore, will root when I'm sure I want to keep it.

The one in this thread, Lenovo S60, from Eternal Team. Apart from shipping time, I went for cheapest shipping €1.60,. I asked for euro 2 pin connector, I got standard U.S. flat pin charger, 2 round pin Euro adapter and very neat GB/IE flat 3 pin adapter.

How does the dual sim work? Can you have 2 networks online at the same time or is one in standby? Can one be used for data plan and the other for making calls?

dohouch

No idea, needs micro sim for 2G/3G slot, have one; AND nano sim for 2G slot , don't have any nano sim yet. Be a few days before I will have one.

mccard

Have mine bout 3 weeks now. I have to say that after owning high end smart phones the past few years this is just as good. Only slight let down is the cameras performance under certain conditions. All in all a great phone and a great bargain, cheers OP.

I would also love to root and custom ROM this baby but everything I find online seems to be BS. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Might Help CLICK Here For KitKat you can use KingRoot mobile app to root lenovo s60-a, for Lolipop for now there is no answer

IMHO. Speakers are excellent quality, volume not too loud though.

mccard

Cheers. So If I was to use KingRoot to root the device how do I go about installing the custom recovery?

Sorry, never been down that road, but XDA forums is a good place to start asking.

yes, both networks can be online at the same time, you can receive calls and texts on either without doing anything. You can switch between SIMs for data plans, and when you make a call or text it pops up asking which SIM you'd like to use. It will remember to always use SIM1 to call/text person A and SIM2 to call person B if that's what you require.

So, yes one could be used exclusively for calls, and one for data.

Just got phone for a friend but he is having problems syncing Google contacts to it.
When added his Google account there is no option to sync contacts.

Any ideas?

Had the same issue. I took an unofficial, botch shortcut. I Bluetoothed my contacts from old phone to Lenovo. Not a permanent solution, but will do for a while.. Am not using the phone, might sell it, if not will look for proper solution. :rolleyes:

mccard

Unable to find a solution for this! Anyone know how I can sync google contacts with this phone?

Have a look at the second last post on this page

Just get the seller to mark it as a gift and under 20 euros to avoid the custom charges

RossieMan

Welcome to 2011. That doesn't work anymore.

That does not work. Customs have been wise to that for years.
