Hi,
I bought a850 2014 may. It started giving battery problem after 3 months. As it was in warranty period i was able to repair. But the service was horrible. after service when I connected to the server, it started acting horrible. In charge when I touched @ any apps it open some other apps, or try to uninstall a app or try to make a call etc etc. @ than point i used to switch off the cell and charge. after service usb was not detecting. Then after a month I was not able to charge again, I have to give some support in the charger to charge the phone. I changed 2 usb charger for that. then after few months it started giving mic problem. Now kept the phone to show any people who is planing to buy a lenovo product so that after seeing my phone then won’t go with lenovo. It a horrible phone. Camera quality is worse than chines phone(which came in 2007-2010). Can not upgrade. Lenovo service is so poor. You can say A850 is a hanging phone. It always say “I am not responding”(any app). Battery quality decrease frequently. Network issue.
But its WiFi is faster than galaxy note 2.
