Lenovo’s Intel-powered K900 smartphone on sale now in China, ships internationally this summer
Posted in: Today's Chili
It arrived with a bang, but it’s been dead silence ever since. Lenovo’s Intel Clover+ smartphone, the Android-based K900, is finally ready to make its grand entrance into the consumer realm. The 5.5-inch powerhouse will ship with a dual-core Atom Z2580 CPU (2.0GHz) within, a PowerVR SGX 544MP2 GPU, a 1080p IPS panel slipped behind a coating of Gorilla Glass 2 and a 13 megapixel camera. Despite the sizable display, it weighs just 162 grams and measures 6.9 millimeters thick, and should be available across greater China right now for RMB 3,299 (around $536) — or RMB 2,999 if you’re lucky. For those outside of Lenovo’s homeland, you’ll need to wait until summer for it to hit an unspecified amount of “international markets.”

Lenovo did announce in the past that their Lenovo K900 smartphone is going to be the first device of its kind to rely on an Intel processor to keep things running, in addition to carrying a display that most of the other high end smartphones these days have, a 1080p Full HD touchscreen display. The Intel processor in question would be the Intel Atom Z2580 Clover Trail+ chipset, which would rank as one of Intel’s most advanced mobile offering to date. In fact, the Lenovo K900 could very well have the honor of being the first device to appear on the market with this dual-core 2GHz chipset.
It seems that production of the Lenovo K900 has already kicked off, and a release of the smartphone should happen sometime this coming April 17th, although pricing details have remained scarce. We do know that there are pointers to a 2,999 yuan price point that amounts to approximately $483 after conversion, where it will carry a 5.5-inch 1080p display, a 13-megapixel shooter at the back, 2GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice, all crammed into a chassis that measures a mere 6.9mm thin.

Lenovo K900 is the first Intel Clover Trail+ phone, boasts 5.5-inch 1080p screen and 13MP cam (hands-on)
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Much like how Lenovo’s K800 was unveiled as the first Intel Medfield phone last CES, this year the manufacturer pulled another first with the K900, powered by Intel’s recently-announced Clover Trail+ platform (likely an Atom Z2580 clocked at 2GHz). For those who missed the Intel keynote, Clover Trail+ is the much improved yet still secretive successor to the relatively quiet Medfield, though it is odd that Lenovo only says “the forthcoming Intel Atom processor platform for smartphones” instead of just “Clover Trail+” in the press release.
Anyhow, said Android device comes with many mouth-watering features: 5.5-inch 1080p IPS display, Gorilla Glass 2, 13-megapixel F1.8 camera with dual flash, and a front-facing imager with an 88-degree super wide viewing angle. 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage add to the package. As with many Lenovo phones, there will also be three capacitive touch buttons below the screen. All of this goodness comes in a handsome 6.9mm-thick body that consists of stainless steel alloy plus polycarbonate, and together they weigh just 162g. Little else has been unveiled about the K900 so far, but it’ll be available in China from April.
Update: We’ve just gotten up close and personal with the Lenovo K900 and it’s certainly an impressive piece of kit. This 5.5-inch 1080p device touts a low magnetic property steel in combination with polycarbonate to offer users lavish style without compromising on antenna reception. Depending on the model — four colors in all — users will be treated to a striped brushing or, in the case of the Diamond Plate model, a very reflective gem-like design on back. For more of these first impressions of Lenovo’s K900, follow on after the break.
