Benchmark powerhouse Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 is released in China

The Lenovo IdeaPhone K900

You might remember the Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 as the 5.5 inch device from China whose AnTuTu Benchmark score edged the scores tallied by some of the most high powered Android devices now available. Models taken down by the device include the Samsung Galaxy S4, the HTC DROID DNA and the Samsung GALAXY Note II. What makes the Lenovo model different than the other devices is the dual-core 2GHz Intel Atom Clover Trail+ processor under the hood. The other devices used quad-core ARM based CPUs.

The Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 has been launched this past week in China. An international release of the model is expected later this summer. With its 6.9mm unibody casing, this is one of the thinnest large-screened smartphones available. The aforementioned dual-core 2GHz Intel Atom Z2580 processor is paired with the PowerVR SGX 544MP2 GPU for outstanding performance. With low-light photography all the rage these days thanks to the Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 928, the Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 might even outperform those Nokia models. The 13MP camera on back has an aperture of F1.8 which allows users to bypass the flash when taking photos in less than optimal lighting conditions.

The Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 has a price tag reading 3299 RMB ($536.74) and L.A. Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant has been pushing the device on Chinese television, print ads and on social media sites.

"Intel and Lenovo have raised the bar for smartphones with the K900. Our teams got together and worked closely to innovate around a number of important features and capabilities that our customers care most about such as power consumption, application switching and camera functionality. Then the Lenovo design team took this powerful platform and wrapped it up in a very attractive package with the K900. We are proud to be teaming with Lenovo to bring these innovations to market."-Ian Yang, president, Intel China,
