Lenovo A6F smart lock: dual-battery face recognition with a 2500mAh backup cell, video calls and a 38 to 120 mm door range, for Dubai homes and holiday lets.
The Lenovo A6F is a dual-battery face recognition smart lock, the sensible value pick in this Lenovo push-pull family for Dubai homes where a dead battery is the biggest worry. It carries a 5000mAh main battery plus a 2500mAh backup, adds face and fingerprint entry, and it is the lowest-priced Lenovo push-pull model we list at a fixed price. Walk up and the radar wakes the lock. You look at the camera or press a finger on the reader, then push the handle. Codes, cards, the Smart Life app and a mechanical key are the fallbacks. Inside, a 3.97-inch screen shows who is at the door, the doorbell sends a video call to your phone, and you can open remotely. When the main battery runs down, the backup cell keeps the lock working until you recharge. You will also need Wi-Fi at the entrance and a door 38 to 120 mm thick with room for the mechanical or semi-auto mortise. That range covers most Dubai apartment and villa doors. It is rated to 70°C, so heat is not a concern. Two honest limits. Lenovo's sheet says IP54 while a UAE seller lists IP52, so we treat it as a lock for a covered entrance and never one you hose down. And there is no palm vein, so anyone who struggles with fingerprints relies on face, card or code instead.

The A6F earns its place in Dubai homes where nobody is around to notice a low battery: holiday homes between guests, villas left empty over the summer, or the flat of an older parent who will not open an app. The 2500mAh backup buys time after the main battery runs down. Its 38 to 120 mm door range covers most apartment and villa main doors, and we still check the mortise cut-out and Wi-Fi signal at the door before ordering. Because the published weather rating varies between IP54 and IP52, keep it on a covered entrance and wipe it rather than wash it, which matters on dusty villa porches. A DEWA cut does not touch entry, only the app link. Tenants need written landlord approval, and tower residents should check building rules for fire-rated entrance doors before choosing any replacement lock.
Lenovo in the UAE. Lenovo-branded smart locks and cameras are made by Yunka Intelligent (Shenzhen) under licence as part of Lenovo's smart-device ecosystem, rather than by Lenovo's computer business. Most of the locks run on the Tuya / Smart Life app, while the cameras use the cam720 app. UAE availability is patchy: a few models are stocked by specialist smart-lock retailers and many are sourced to order, so we confirm the exact model, lock body and lead time before quoting.
