Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 launched with 2GHz Intel Atom CPU

Lenovo, as promised, is back in the smartphone space with a major new handset, which it officially launched at CES 2013.

Known as the IdeaPhone K900, Lenovo’s new device packs in a 2GHz Intel Atom chipset, a 5.5-inch display, and 2GB of RAM, as well as a 13-megapixel camera and 16GB of internal storage.

Lenovo said the handset will be available in Asian and Eastern European markets. No word on whether it’ll be coming to the UK just yet.

Lenovo, while being something of a non-entity in the UK smartphone space, is the second biggest handset maker in China behind Samsung. During 2013, the company will expand its reach into Europe.

The K900 uses the same Intel Atom chipset as the Motorola Razr i. We tested that handset extensively back in 2012 and can attest to the processing power contained inside it – we expect to see more of the same here.

Here’s a break down of the confirmed spec:

• 5.5-inch 1080p IPS display
• 2 GHz dual-core Intel Atom chip
• 13-megapixel rear camera with dual flash/ 2-megapixel front-facing camera
• 2GB of RAM
• 16GB of storage
• Weight: 161g
• Thickness: 6.9mm

Lenovo, you need to release this handset in the UK. Okay?
