Three New Lenovo Smartphones You Need To Know About!
The devices are up for pre-order in China and are expected to launch in the country by the end of this month or early July.
The hype Lenovo started with its Z5 smartphone was on a different level altogether. From a 45-day battery backup to a 4TB storage to a Pixel-like camera, all it ended as a big marketing gimmick. Even just before the launch, several leaks suggested that the Lenovo Z5 would cost over a lakh rupees. Sadly, the Lenovo Z5 is just like any other mid-range smartphone with a notch in the display.
The Chinese manufacturer unveiled two more smartphones along with the Z5, the 2018 version of Lenovo K5 Note and the Lenovo A5. The Lenovo K5 Note (2018) is an upgrade over its predecessor while the A5 is a completely new series altogether. The devices are up for pre-order in China and are expected to launch in the country by the end of this month or early July.
