Lenovo is not restricted to PCs, but at the
same slowly and gradually making its smartphone portfolio strong. The Chinese
major sent right signals during the announcement of K900, a solid piece of
hardware with Intel Atom processor inside. Since then, Lenovo hasn't announced
any new high-end device. Of course, IFA Berlin is nearby and surely this tech
vendor wants to showcase its upcoming handsets in Germany. Industry insiders
have now started to say that Lenovo could announce a successor to K900 in
September at IFA. In the meantime, a report by GForgames has come with an
exclusive information about Lenovo's next big ticket handset. Lenovo X910
Tipped for Launch at IFA Berlin with Snapdragon 800 The phone is said to be the
flagship device and based on Antutu benchmarks - it will be powered by Qualcomm
Snapdragon 800 processor. Currently codenamed - Lenovo X910, the handset has
been tested in China. Indeed the benchmark results are exceptionally great. The
Lenovo X910 is said to be powered by Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and has managed to
achieve 29231 points, based on Antutu benchmarks. Now the big question is the
original K900 comes with Intel Atom processor, while this very version has
Snapdragon 800 processor. This could mean that either Lenovo is planning to
launch a new version of K900 packaged with Qualcomm chipset. Or its time to see
a brand new handset that is will be available globally. The critical success of
K900 might be the reason, why Lenovo is looking to crush biggies like Samsung
and Sony with its forthcoming X910 handset. At this year's IFA tech show,
Lenovo is not alone who will announce a smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800
processor. The South Korean giant Samsung is also planning to announce a
re-charged version of Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 800 processor. The Japanese
titan Sony is also believed to announce Honami i1 and Honami i1 Mini, with new
age processor. The makers behind PlayStation Vita have already announced Xperia
Z Ultra with Snapdragon 800 processor. Even HTC is prepping HTC One Max with
ultra fast chipset. When Lenovo announced K900 in the Indian market, GizBot got
a chance to interact with Nick Reynolds, Executive Director, and Worldwide
Product Launch - Consumer at Lenovo. When specifically asked about company's
upcoming smartphones, the executive told us "Wait for IFA Berlin".
Now we may think that why Mr. Reynolds was so confident with the future of
Lenovo. Lenovo had
introduced K900 in India and surprised everyone with its large screen and
performance. But now the company is making even a better smartphone, if a
report of GforGames blog is to believed. Actually the blog claimed to have spotted a
listing of Lenovo X910 device running Qualcomm’s top of the line Snapdragon 800
chipset. This is a powerful chipset targetted at the premium and top level
smartphones.
As per the blog, the Lenovo X910 was listed
at the AnTuTu Benchmark listing with the score of 27931 and the Snapdragon 800
chipset was clocked at 2.2 GHz . No other
details about the handset were available apart from the fact that the device
was running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update. Lenovo X910 smartphone with
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean can be expected sometime
later this year. Hopefully, this device is made available in India too.
