Lenovo K900

with 2GHz processor, Android 4.2, 13 MP camera launched for Rs 33K

The Chinese smartphone/ PC company, Lenovo, has launched K900 with 2GHz processor, Android 4.2, 13 MP camera in India for Rs 33K

Lenovo, the Chinese smartphone and computer manufacturer has arrived in India in the smartphone market after almost taking over India’s laptop market. Though not many people are aware about its image as one of the best and biggest smartphone manufacturer back home, analysts know that the company comes with long and well deserved history and is going to win millions of fan followings in the market.

I am amazed at the delayed launch or arrival of the company in the smartphone market. I am more amazed because of the fact that despite having infrastructural presence in almost every part of the country, the Chinese tech giant delayed its launch till now. But I think that company was not very enthusiastic about its entry in the smartphone market as the market was still in its infancy and it might have thought it waste of resources to invest hundreds of millions of dollars. But as the smartphone market is saturating in China and the fact that Indian smartphone market is growing at fast pace right now, this was the most opportune time to come here and get a market traction by offering great handsets at comparably lower price.

The company has come out with 6 handsets and to be true the least pricey of them comes for around Rs 8000 while the costliest comes at Rs 33000. So the company is looking forward to have something to offer to every group of people looking for different types of handset. So it has an entry level rather good handset, several mid range smart phones and then handset that comes with top specifications and features. Nonetheless, despite coming with so many products and at prices that look affordable compared to Samsung and HTC handsets, the Chinese company will have to work really hard to attract people to its handsets. There are many smartphone vendors here and so many handsets in all the categories that it is going to be a tough task for a new company to make an impact.

Lenovo K900 is as good if not better than Korean tech giant Samsung’s Galaxy S4 and comes at least Rs 8000 cheaper than S4. The best handset that the company is launching in India is K900 that is priced at Rs 33000. And without doubt it comes with best specifications. The 5.5-inch 440+ ppi screen hides a 2.0GHz dual-core Intel processor and 2GB of RAM, with a 13MP camera (including a Sony Exmor lens) around the back. It’s all tied together with Android 4.2 inside a nice metal chassis. So it is very impressive without doubt. The highlight of P780 is high-capacity 4000 mAh battery while the A706 has the Dolby Digital Plus technology for better audio experience.

Other handsets that are equally enticing for different segments and are priced very reasonably include P780. This handset is aimed at professionals and executives. P780 comes with 1.4 GHz quad core processor along with a 4000 mAh battery. Another equally good handset is S920 that comes with a massive 5.3-inch IPS display, 8 mega pixel camera and a 1.2GHz quad core processor. Other handsets too are great and may attract significant number of buyers.
