Lenovo K860
This is the costliest smartphone in Lenovo India's arsenal. The phone, priced at Rs 28,999, offers a 5 inch full HD capacitive touchscreen with a 1.5 GHz quad core processor based on the same Exynos 4412 quad chipset that is used on Samsung Galaxy SIII, Galaxy Note II and 10.1.
The phone also has a very healthy 1 GB RAM, Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, 8 megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front camera and a big 2250 mAh battery.
The phone will compete with LG Optimus Vu, Samsung Galaxy Note, and even with Galaxy SIII in terms of features. Since it is based on the same processor as Samsung's latest flagship phone we expect its performance to be similar. Even in terms of screen the resolution is same as that of Galaxy SIII. In terms of battery K860 in fact offers a bigger battery compared to the 2100 mAh unit of SIII, and the 2150 mAh unit of 4X HD.
Given that it is priced lower than all its competitors, except maybe LG Optimus 4X HD (we do not know how much it will actually retail in the market for,) the phone looks to be very promising, and has much better specs than the Note (though it is slightly smaller,) and is much cheaper compared to Note II and LG Optimus Vu.
Lenovo S880
Like the K860, it too has a 5 inch capacitive touchscreen albeit with lower resolution of 480 x 800 pixel. It has a 1 GHz Cortex-A9 processor that runs the Android ICS operating system. Besides, it has 4 GB internal storage, which can be expanded up to 32 GB via a micro SD card; it has a 512 MB RAM, 5 megapixel auto focus rear camera, and a secondary VGA camera.
Lenovo S880 is a dual SIM phone and has WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS with A-GPS support, and a micro USB port. Its 2250 mAh battery is expected to give it long operational life as well. The phone is priced at Rs 18,999. In tune with Indian audiences Lenovo has included a dual loudspeaker in the phone with Dolby surround sound.
Samsung has no new phone in this price range and in fact none of the MNC vendors has a 5 inch device in the range. However, HTC has a dual SIM phone in Desire VC and Desire V in this price bracket, but they get much smaller 4 inch screen
Lenovo S560
The dual SIM phone comes with a 4 inch IPS capacitive multi touch screen and has a 1 GHz dual core processor. Besides, it has a 5 megapixel rear camera, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB internal memory, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, Dolby Mobile Dual speakers etc. Lenovo has kept its price at Rs 14,499.
Like the S880 Lenovo has used the Mediatek chipset in this phone too. It will be direct competition with Samsung Galaxy S Duos, HTC Desire V and Sony Xperia J, all of which look better in terms of specifications than this Lenovo phone. The only saving grace for this phone that we can think of is the fact that the price mentioned above will drop once the phone hits the market
Lenovo P700i
This dual SIM phone comes with a 1 GHz dual core MediaTek MT6577 processor, 4 inch IPS display, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage, expandable memory of 32 GB, 5.0 megapixel rear camera with auto focus, VGA front camera, 2500 mAh battery, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, GPS with AGPS support, WiFi, and FM radio.
It is priced at Rs 12,498. This phone, like the S560, will compete with a similar set of phones. Other options in this price range come with 3.5 to 3.7 inch screens.
It is in this price range that the device will also have to fend off competition from Indian brands that have products like Micromax A110 (a 5 inch phone with Qualcomm chipset,) and Karbonn A21 (with 4.5 inch screen) that are priced at the same level. However, assuming that Lenovo has the image of a premium brand it will be better placed against these rivals provided that the phone performs well.
