Quad HD Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro unveiled as K920

We have been seeing a lot of stories about what would be the flag bearer for Lenovo this year—the Vibe Z2 Pro smartphone. And now, Lenovo has finally unveiled the same under a different name simply called the Lenovo K920 at the Mobile Asia Expo in Shanghai. The handset is a Quad HD monster and comes with the muscle to match its massive 6 inch display.

Inside is a powerful 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon (8974AC) processor with Adreno 330 GPU and a beefy 3GB of RAM. Internal memory is limited to 32GB, but sadly the device comes with no expandable memory. The screen is a massive 6 inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixel) IPS LCD display, which easily occupies the entire front of the device with little space for the navigation keys at the bottom.

QHD display aside, the Lenovo K920 also comes with some interesting camera tech. The primary camera is a 16MP sensor which comes with a dual LED flash (dual tone) and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The front-facing camera is clearly built for the selfie-conscious, sporting a large 5MP sensor.

The handset is packed with latest radios and comes with dual SIM functionality as well. On the Outside, the body is apparently made of a matte finish which is supposed to resist fingerprints. Lenovo has gone with a unibody design (just 7.7mm thick) indicating that the battery may be the 4000mAh one that was prevalent in most of the past rumours.

Lenovo Launches 7-Inch TAB A7-50 With Voice-Calling Functionality

People who love unwieldy phones rejoice, as Lenovo has unveiled a 7-inch tablet with voice calling functionality. The Chinese company is promoting its TAB A7-50 as an affordable companion for reading, Internet browsing, and calling. The device sports an HD display. It’s not IPS panel though, so don’t expect wide-viewing angles. Like all the budget tablets, the TAB A7-50 is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MTK 8382 chipset clocked at 1.3 GHz. There’s 1 GB of RAM, which should be enough to handle Android 4.32 Jelly Bean.

The tablet comes with a 2 megapixel camera for selfies and video chatting. If you don’t mind looking stupid, you can use this slate’s 5 megapixel (fixed-focus) rear camera to snap photographs. The A7-50 comes with a single SIM card slot. It supports 3G as well as voice-calling capabilities. Other connectivity features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and A-GPS. According to Lenovo, the 3450 mAh Li-Polymer fixed battery offers up to 8 hours of battery life. You get 16 GB of in-built storage and there’s also a microSD card slot storage expansion.

From the press images, the device looks quite good. The company claims that the tablet is 10 mm thick and weighs in at 320 grams. In India, the tablet is only available in Blue with a soft-touch finish.

The Lenovo TAB A7-50 is listed for Rs 15,500 on the company’s website . However, I’m sure you can easily get for around Rs 14k in the brick-and-mortar shop.
