CES 2013 - Lenovo - METROPOLITANT

9 January 2013, Singapore – Lenovo launched a series of exciting new products in its lineup, which was announced recently at the Computer Electronics Show (CES 2013).

Soon to be released mobile phone from Lenovo. The K900.

The latest news we received from Lenovo is its latest flagship smartphone – the Lenovo K900. Almost all major electronics giants have identified mobile communications as one of the most important market they need to tap into. It is no surprise that Lenovo has upped the ante in the mobile foray. The K900 is one of the first smartphones in the world to combine a 5.5” IPS display with 1080p full high-definition resolution performance at 400+ pixels-per-inch, housed under the latest, touch-capacitive Gorilla Glass 2! PLUS, it sports a 13Megapixel camera sensor, which seems to be the new spec-to-be for mobile camera (maybe not Apple ;P) and an F1.8 aperture.

Pricing and Availability

This phone will be first rolled out in China starting from April 2013. Singapore pricing and availability will be announced closer to the local availability date.

It is designed to lie flat on any surface so that you can your family can have some quality PC time together. What is cool though, is that The Horizon Table PC includes the Lenovo App Shop, which is a dedicated apps store powered by Intel AppUp giving users access to 5,000+ multi-user entertainment apps with exclusive access or package of pre-loaded gaming and educational apps from industry leading vendors including Electronic Arts, FableVision, just to name a few.
