LTE, octa-core enabled Lenovo Golden Warrior A8 goes official in China for $130


The ever-expanding maker from China, Lenovo, have announced the Lenovo Golden Warrior A8, successor to the previously announced Golden Warrior S8.

Like its predecessor, the A8 comes with a seriously high VFM quotient, packing an octa-core CPU, 4G LTE and other goodies but retaining the very sweet $130 price tag. Its only on sale in China for the moment, but neighbouring markets can expect a launch anytime soon.

Besides adding 4G LTE, the A8 also features a faux leather back that’ll remind you of the much more expensive Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet. A 2GB RAM chip handles your multitasking needs, with a 5-inch 720p display taking control of your touch inputs and display. The device will have two radio variants; one for China Mobile, that’ll go for 798 CNY or $130, and the other for China Unicom which will sell for CNY 898 or $144.

Specifications

  • 5-inch 1280 x 720p display
  • 1.7GHz octa-core MT6592 CPU
  • 2GB RAM
  • 16GB on-board ROM
  • 13 mega-pixel rear camera with dual LED flash, 5 mega-pixel front facing camera

      Hey, the A8 should have Gorilla Glass, but we’ll try and get confirmation on both subjects. Cheers!
