Posted by: Maria Mihale in News
We’ve been so very focused on the novelties brought in the market by famous companies like Nokia, Samsung or Sony Ericsson, that we’re tempted to forgot that the world doesn’t go round these manufacturers only.
Here’s an example: Lenovo, “China’s largest and the world’s fourth largest personal computer manufacturer (the latter since its 2005 purchase of IBM’s PC division), after Hewlett-Packard and Dell of the US and Acer of Taiwan†( Wikipedia), has just introduced two new cell phones. They were released under the names of i60 and i60s and they are aimed at the Chinese market only.

Made in a monoblock form factor, both devices are touchscreen cell phones that support dual band GSM 900 / 1800 MHz.
Lenovo i60, for example, comes with the following features: a 3 inch WQVGA touchscreen display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, dual-SIM card support, a 2 megapixel camera, an integrated media player and a microSD card support for expandable memory of no more than 16GB.
Measuring 105 x 55 x 15 millimeters and weighing 110.5 grams, the Lenovo i60 is provided with a battery that has a capacity of 1250 mAh.
Lenovo i60s, on the other hand, comes with a 2.8 inch display that has a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, a 2 megapixel camera, more front buttons, the possibility for expandable capacity storage via microSD cards of up to 16GB and, of course, the built-in media player.
This one measures 105 x 51 x 17.8 millimeters and weighs approximately 130 grams, while the battery is equipped with has a capacity of 1000 mAh.
Both devices are powered by two processors: the 200MHz main processor and the 600MHz multimedia one.
As I said before, the latest Chinese mobile phones are exclusively aimed at the Chinese market, so you shouldn’t have expectations with respect to it if don’t live in this Asian country. As far as the pricing is concerned, the i60 costs 1150 Chinese Yuan, while the i60s version is more expensive, as it costs 1599.
