S890, Optimized for Entertainment
Young consumers of the "digital native" generation have high demands for
their digital products. Not only do devices need to offer the latest
technology and strong performance, but they must look good as well. The
S890 excels on all these fronts. The phone sports a 5-inch 960x540 qHD
screen, for crisper images and more viewing area to share videos and
hi-definition photos with friends. An 8MP auto-flash camera,
complemented by Lenovo super camera software, takes photos in low light
and allows photo in video and complex photo-editing. All of these
functions are packed into a super-slim (9.3mm, .36-inch and lightweight
(176g, 6.2 ounces) package, sporting a uniquely elegant "loop" design
that makes the product feel thinner and sexier.
S720, Multimedia Workhorse
Young urbanites are constantly using their smartphones to view, edit and
share multimedia content and the IdeaPhone S720 is tailor-made for these
consumers. In addition to key multimedia enhancements like built-in
Dolby Digital Plus and Super Camera software, the S720 optimizes the
value of its configuration with a dual-core MTK CPU for enhanced
performance and a 2000mAh battery to ensure the phone can easily handle
greater power demands. The 4.5-inch 960x540 IPS display ensures that
photos taken with the 8MP front camera or the 1MP rear camera can be
viewed easily from wider angles, while dual SIM functionality provides
easy switching from home to office networks for sharing. All of this is
packed into a slim, 9.9mm (.39-inch) package with a unique "Loop"
design, and comes in three color options so you will always look stylish
while enjoying a full multimedia experience.
P770, Professional Business Device
Businesspeople demand more from their smartphones: more talk time, more
security, more reliability and more options. The IdeaPhone P770 is a
perfect complement for today's always-connected, frequently traveling
global executive. Sporting a 3500mAh battery with enhanced power
management software, the P770 delivers up to 30 hours talk time between
charges, while a unique, "genuine battery detection" function ensures
P770 users get the most from their phone. In fact, with USB on-the-go,
the P770 can even serve as a charger for other devices, while easily
sharing files and data secured by native anti-virus software. Dual SIM
capabilities allow you to move seamlessly across networks wherever your
job may take you.
A800, All-Round Entry-Level Smartphone
The A800 strikes a strong balance between performance and price,
granting users access to a range of specs that have normally been
reserved for much more expensive phones. With a dual core, 1.2GHz CPU
and dual SIM slots for switching between data plans on the go, the A800
is a solid performer for work and play. A 4.5-inch FWVGA display,
accompanied by a 2000mAh battery, ensures the A800's performance stands
up for photo sharing, games and web-browsing. Best of all, the A800
offers all of this in an affordable package, making it an ideal choice
for first-time smartphone users or those seeking an all-round performer
on a budget.
A690, Balance and Value
The IdeaPhoneA690 challenges preconceptions about what can be offered
with an entry-level smartphone. The phone is the first in its class to
break the 1GHz barrier, offering speed and responsiveness previously
unheard of for the most affordable phones. With a 4.0-inch 800X480 WVGA
screen, which also surpasses the competition, the A690 delivers an
enhanced viewing experience with sharper resolution. The ergonomically
designed A690 feels great in the hand and also offers dual SIM
capability so users can select the most cost-effective data plan for
their changing needs.
