No point fidgeting with a screen that poses real difficulty both while watching videos and typing on the cramped keyboard, the portability that is offered by the smaller screen seems futile against the little value it offers with respect to functionality.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The size of the Lenovo A690 makes it extremely portable, but with its tiny and cramped keypad it's really not of much use to me. I don't like the camera in particular, and I won't be buying the Lenovo A690, however good the other features might be. This seems like a decent storage, however, you might eventually end up deleting few photos and videos to make room for new ones; this technique never worked with me. I always feel the more the better when it comes to smartphone storage and I would always chose the Lenovo A690 with expandable memory against any other smartphones that are overpriced and overloaded with confusing features.Ishan's Review (A geek)
Although the display looks great, the tiny screen size is too awkward to please the gamer or the ardent bookworm in me. Well, the frequency never bothered me so much with reading, but gaming on this 1 GHz device is a nightmare. I wouldn't recommend such a low RAM even for the most amateur gamer; in fact for anyone. This is a decent storage for my books and few of my apps, but I can't imagine buying a smartphone that can't accommodate my ever-growing gaming library. Even if your smartphone offers good amount of internal storage, extendable memory never hurts and is good to know that there's room left if you need.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
For me the 4 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the Lenovo A690. I love texting and all my friends too prefer texting over talking, so I find the screen size of the Lenovo A690 very cramped. Yes, 3.1 MP is not that great camera resolution. There are so many smartphones with better megapixels sometimes even cheaper than this phone. I love clicking pictures with my smartphone and this one doesn't seem up for it. I always forget charging my phone so USB charging via my laptop is really a good option for me and sometimes I even use this port to transfer music and images. With the 8 GB internal storage I have to choose between which music, movies, videos and images to keep or delete from my phone. I hate to do that and hence don't like phones with average internal memory; a bigger storage is more of my style.
