Lenovo’s Android phone for China hotter than a G1 with a defective battery
Filed under: Handsets, Others, China Mobile
What if we told you the most beautiful phone in the world was a Lenovo? Reactions to that statement are likely going to oscillate between “Lenovo doesn’t make cellphones” and “impossible, considering this is the country that gave us the QKfone G998,” — but seriously, have a look. Even if you don’t agree that it’s one of the most attractive mobile devices you’ve ever laid eyes on, you’re going to have a hard time making a cohesive argument that the Android-based slate doesn’t run circles around the G1 for physical design. ‘Course, that just makes it all the more maddening that it’s apparently nothing more than an early model of the “Ophone,” a handset designed to comply to China Mobile’s Open Mobile System that combines Android’s core with support and apps for the carrier’s homegrown TD-SCDMA 3G network. Translation: we’ll never see one outside China, so yeah, just lust from afar while you pray HTC and its comrades are busy cooking up some stellar gear.
