From here:

Design

At 6.9mm, the K900 is the thinnest phone in its class by a wide margin and weighs in at a mere 162g (5.7 ounces), making it a device that unobtrusively slips into a jacket pocket or handbag. Made from a composite of stainless steel alloy and polycarbonate in a Unibody mold, the K900 manages to stay strong and look sharp while maintaining its slim profile.


Performance

Amazingly for such a sleek package, the K900 does not skimp on performance. Centered on the forthcoming Intel® Atom processor platform for smartphones, the K900 is very responsive, especially for key functions such as web-browsing and application-loading.

The K900’s camera stands out as one of the smartphone’s most distinguished features. As with other functions on the K900, Lenovo has overhauled the camera completely, and delivered a package that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. Megapixels is the first specification that many users recognize for digital cameras, and with 13MP, the K900 ranks at the top of its class in this aspect and combines this with an industry-leading, Sony® Exmor BSI sensor for what would already be considered outstanding performance.

Phone is very good, although I doubt if Lenovo has enough brand power to sell a phone at 33k.

 

[quagmire]

^+1.. Lenovo is still not established as a major smartphone manufacturer..
But the phone looks VFM at 33k..

Build quality looks awesome here:







BTW randomuser111, about the Exmor BSI sensor, its the same one used in XZ and XZL right?

And about the aperture: f1.8 ??

Cons : Bluetooth 2.1, No 4G LTE

.

Spoiler

Skip right to 2:30

Antutu Benchmark at 25138, beats S600 devices

[coderunknown]

looks good for the price. street price should be around 30k which will give Sony-HTC-Samsung a run for its money. Intel processor, Full HD touchscreen & the slim and polished finish will bring in really high marks for this one.

 

[quagmire]

^+1

Kills all phablets : Note 2, Optimus G Pro and Galaxy Megas at one stroke..

 

[ssb1551]

^^ True for Note 2 and Mega 6.3! Can't say the same for Mega 5.8!!

Full metal body sometimes means excessive heating up because of too much conduction.. Hope lenovo figured it out and found a way to bypass this problem..
Nevertheless, phone looks impressive.. much more impressive that the lava crap that we got..

 

[rijinpk1]

it looks really impressive

the metal body should act as a passive cooler. it may heat up but will cool faster as heat will go out of the mobile rather than in S4 or XZ where the heat gets trapped inside turning the mobile into a fire cracker of some sort.

Lenovo K900 benchmark scores surface, competes with Samsung Galaxy S4 - GSMArena Blog

Lk900 benchmarks are a little bit ahead of S4 !!!!

 

[pratyush997]

That's a monster for 33k.

 

[coderunknown]

lenovo mobile ads are meaningless. make a straight forward ad for K900 and give all its positive points and only then some of the people may go for this. some.

 

[ZTR]

The benchmarks may be better than S600 devices but remember that this a x86 device which means compatibility problems with apps

 

[Nerevarine]

^Not a big problem nowadays i assume

 

[randomuser111]

Benchmarks are NOT better than S600. Only Antutu score is better. It's GPU is weaker and also Quadrant score is 5k. Other various benchmarks are also lower. So except Antutu, it's not a top performer in benchmarks.

Is it that big of a difference b/w 'PowerVR SGX 544MP2' (on K900) and 'PowerVR SGX 544MP3' (on S4 Exynos 5 Octa 5410) ?

Possible the entire performance is not reflecting on the benchmarks.. It handles 1080p content pretty smoothly in the video at #6..

 

[randomuser111]

^

That and possibly lower clock speed on the GPU

 

[quagmire]

BTW Do Intel SOC phones have good Developer Support ?

Theres a rumor that the price will eventually fall to 25k.. It will be simply unbeatable at that price if that happens..

 

[Nerevarine]

^Not many companies have adopted intel based SoCs..
and freaking LAVA will never release Kernel source
I dont believe even Lenovo will, as it has not done so for any of it's previous gen phones..

Btw guys, this is one of the first phones that is gonna be launched in India before it comes to the US
