Engadget have managed to get hold of these
images of Lenovo’s upcoming LePhone
S2, but what’s surprising here is that the
S2 is running
Windows rather than
Android!
The S2, Lenovo’s 2nd generation ‘LePhone’ is thought to be launching later this year and will feature a heavily customized
Android 2.3.4, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 chip, 480 x 800
display, eight-megapixel camera (with 720p recording) and a smaller plus lighter body than the rather chunky
original.
The
phone shown in the these
images from Sina’s Weibo,
show the
S2 running Windows, which would make the
Lenovo one of the first largely availbale Windows
phones available in
China.
Windows mobile has a heavy Facebook and Twitter intergration making the platform difficul to market in
China as both service are blocked, however if
Lenovo have replaced them with a Chinese equivolent like QQ, RenRen or Weibo they could be on to a winner!
