Intel and Lenovo are getting serious about smartphones... together

Borrowed design ideas from iPhone 5 no doubt but I am still not sure about smart phone with over 5" displays. I for one refuse to carry a man bag to hold my smart phone...lol.

Do you wear pants? Do those have pockets? This will fit (as long as you don't wear skinny jeans with little sissy girl pockets).

I'm not sure if I like the look or not. The silver one is the only one I would want. Hopefully the stainless steel doesn't add too much weight, though it surely adds some rigidity. 6.9mm is pretty thin for a phone this large.

Oh great one there robochump, thinking again that Apple invented shapes and surfaces. Sad part is that they don`t even show it working in the guy`s hands ... the rest are just words in the air.

Nice industrial look. I believe Android Central had a little review of the unit. Would be interested in battery capacity/life.
SS much better than aluminum, esp. given the weak backside of iPhone5, that bends like a limp noodle.

Well, this is what the 1C/2T Lexington Z2420 looks like (performance wise)...

Lexington's a under-clocked Medfield, btw. The K900 should see around a 1.5x increase, i guess...

good camera, good screen, and a great CPU....
But it will have a junk GPU (something all intel phones suffer from), and that metal back means that it most likely will not support NFC or wireless charging... 2 things that I will require of all my future phones.

I would really love to see the next gen Atom phones come with some serious graphics hardware, and a WP variant would be welcome as well!

 

[K2N hater]

Hope it comes with at least 2GB RAM and thumb drive support so I can install Win8 onto it lol

CaedenV:

No, it might actually have a DECENT GPU, being Clover Trail+. The Z2580 is a dual core Atom with PowerVR SGX544MP2 running at 533MHz.

Ojas: The Lenovo K900 27,000 in Antutu. That's almost 2.5x the score of the Lexington device.

Everything that I've read about the dual-core mobile Atom models pointed towards excellent GPUs, very unlike their previous single core *brothers*. That includes info from sites such as Anand and if you want, I could look for some links.
