Phones in and around this price range seem to have settled on a uniform look: flat back fronts with white shells covering the rear and sides. Shapes and sizes vary, but weve seen this formula applied dozens of times now and it doesnt help Lenovo stand out. The only difference is that the rear shell has a slightly satiny texture. If you want something more distinct, go with the black or yellow options rather than white.
The front is plain other than a slightly raised lip around the edges. There isnt much space above or below the screen which is a good thing because this is a still a large, wide phone thanks to its screen. However, its difficult to use the three capacitive Android navigation buttons below the screen - not only are they awkward to reach, but their icons are printed on in very faint grey with no backlighting.
