Lenovo Announces New Range of Phones and Tablets

Lenovo, one of the world’s top PC companies, have just announced an army of new Android devices. It seems they’re really going to push the devices along with their personal cloud solutions. Liu Jun, Senior VP and President of Lenovo’s Mobile Internet and Digital Home business group, explains the significance of a cloud system:

“Lenovo is breaking down the barriers of device differentiation and weaving together hardware, software, and cloud services that are connected, experiential, and dynamic. We understand our users need more than just the traditional keyboard and screen for a truly satisfying digital experience. Our Personal Cloud vision integrates all devices, from tablets to TVs, for a comprehensive mobile Internet experience anytime, anywhere.”

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8960 Dual-Core Processor at 1.5GHz
  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (with Lenovo’s Mondrian overlay)
  • 10.1″ 1280×800 IPS Display
  • 1GB RAM
  • 16GB/32GB/64GB Internal Storage
  • Wi-Fi And 3G Connectivity
  • A variety of ports including micro USB, micro SD, Micro HDMI, SIM card, 3.5mm audio jack
  • 5MP Camera and 1.3MP Front shooter
  • The IdeaTab S2 10 will also be compatible with a Transformer-style keyboard dock, and promises a 20 hour battery life.

The S2 Smartphone emphasizes security, featuring “a unique, kernel-level security system to protect personal data, prevent phishing, and control network and SMS traffic.” The phone will also be available in two forms: the 8GB version (which also has more RAM) or a souped-up 16GB model. Check out the phone’s full spec list:

  • Qualcomm MSM8255 dual-core processor at 1.4GHz
  • Android 2.3 Gingerbread (with Lenovo Magic 3.0)
  • 3.8″ 800×480 TFT display
  • 512MB RAM (for the 8GB version) or 1GB RAM (for the 16GB variant)
  • WCDMA and HSPA+ Connectivity
  • 8MP Camera and .3MP Front shooter
  • Micro USB, 3.5mm audio, HDMI and MHL Connectivity
  • 1500mAh battery

Without say, all of these devices will be compatible with Lenovo’s Personal Cloud. Even without the high specs expected from a new line of phones and tablets, the Lenovo range is still an exciting addition to the Android community. Remember, Lenovo has also just announced a TV running Android 4.0, making their cloud capabilities much more significant. Personally, I can’t wait to see the integration between devices in this range of products.
