A trio of new handsets are coming to Russia out of China by way of Lenovo. All three are Android flavored devices and one in particular might catch your attention with its 6 inch screen. That model, the Lenovo S930, might want to compete with the other phablets in the sandbox, but mama didn't dress him too warmly if you know what we mean. And if you don't understand, check out the specs and then the light bulb should go on over your head.
The Lenovo S930 comes equipped with that aforementioned 6 inch screen. Ah, if only the China based manufacturer had kept things up from that point. Instead, we have a resolution of 720 x 1280 on the device which makes for a middling pixel density of 245ppi. Some handset manufacturers in the region use MediaTek silicon to save money and Lenovo follows this plan by having the quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6582 CPU under the hood. There is 1GB of RAM on board along with 8GB of native storage. A 3000mAh cell keeps the lights on and Android 4.2 is installed. An 8MP camera adorns the back of the unit while a 1.6MP shooter is found in front. The Lenovo S930 measures 170 x 86 x 8.65mm and weighs 170 grams. It will be priced at approximately 13990 rubles ($427 USD) and will be available at the end of the month.
The second upcoming Lenovo model is the Lenovo S650 and this features a smaller 4.7 inch screen with resolution of 540 x 960. The combination results in a pixel density of 234ppi. It offers the same quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek processor and 8GB of native storage as seen on the S930. A microSD slot is available for additional storage. The included 2000mAh battery will power up the phone, which measures 138x69.8x8.7 mm and weighs 126 grams. Android 4.2 is installed out of the box. A dual SIM version of this handset will also be available. The Lenovo S650 is set to be priced at 11990 rubles ($366 USD) and will be launched sometime later this month.
