Lenovo went ahead and just launched a slew of Android devices, 5 to be exact, ranging from upper entry level all the way to phablet territory Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich powered smartphones. Read on to know if there's one for you too.
Lenovo K860 (Rs. 28,499)
The Lenovo K860 serves to be the flaghsip Lenovo smartphone among the 5 being launched simultaneously in India. And true to that, the Lenovo K860 does pack flagship bearing specs. Have a look.

- Android 4.0 ICS
The Lenovo K860 will launch for a price tag of Rs. 28,499. If this price falls to about Rs. 25,000, we believe it will present immense value to those looking for a fast and big handset.
Lenovo S880 (Rs. 18,999)
Coming in next is the Lenovo S880 smartphone. This phone is aimed at the dual core crowd looking for a high end device at the same time.

At Rs. 18,999 the Lenovo S880 goes up against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S Duos (which too pack similar specs, albeit at a lower price tag).
Lenovo P700i (Rs. 14,999)
The Lenovo P700i is a mid-sized 4" mid-ranger with a dual core CPU. It aims to bring dual core to the masses and provide a value option to the consumers.
Lenovo P700i Specifications
- 1 GHz dual core Mediatek MTK 6577 chipset
- PowerVR SGX531 GPU
- 512 MB of RAM
- 4" LCD WVGA(800x480) display

- Dual Sim support
- Android 4.0 ICS
At Rs. 14,999 the Lenovo P700i has to compete against the Sony Xperia U, Xperia Sola and other smartphones. The price has to drop to make it a more value for money offering.
Lenovo S560 (Rs. 12,499)
The Lenovo S560 is very much a duplicate of the Lenovo P700i, save for a lesser camera module. The S560 has a 5 MP rear camera which can only record up to 480p video.
Lenovo S560 Specifications
- 1 GHz dual core Mediatek MTK 6577 chipset
- PowerVR SGX531 GPU
- 512 MB of RAM
- 4" LCD WVGA(800x480) display
- 5 MP rear camera, 480p video recording
- VGA front facing camera
- 4 GB of internal storage, micro SD card slot
- Dual Sim support
- Android 4.0 ICS
Indian manufacturers offer much more value for money phones like the Micromax A110 or the Karbonn A21 for the same price tag or lesser. Lenovo will have a hard time making an impact in the market with such phones and pricing.
Lenovo A60+ (Rs. 6,499)
Finally, the entry level droid offering by Lenovo, the A60+. The A60+ is about half the price of the next Lenovo smartphone. You have to wonder what all was left out to reach this low price tag. Have a look.
Lenovo A60+ Specifications
- 1 GHz Mediatek MTK 6575 chipset
- PowerVR SGX531 GPU
- 256 MB of RAM
- 3.5" LCD HVGA(480x320) display
- 2 MP rear camera, 480p video recording
- VGA front facing camera
- 512 MB of internal storage, micro SD card slot
- Dual Sim support
- Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread
The A60+ cuts down on all corners offering only 256 MB of RAM, a poor 2 MP camera, 3.5" HVGA display and even the ancient Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS. Consumers are better off buying other offerings by Indian manufacturers such as the Karbonn A9+ itself for slightly more money.
