Lenovo S850 goes official in India for 15,499 INR


It’s raining Chinese phones on the Indian market, or so it seems. Besides the very affordable Xiaomi Mi3, another phone – Lenovo S850 – went on sale in India today.

The device is a MediaTek powered quad-core unit, featuring a simple design with a rear that’s reminiscent of the Apple iPhone 5c. With a slim body and a moderate specs set, the S850 will sell in India for 15,499 INR or $257, making it a bit more dearer than the Mi3 which has become a benchmark of sorts.

    Now that indians have been given a whiff of Mi3..stuff like this will not move..lenovo will have to rethink its market strategy in India to match Xiaomi. I for one would wait for Redmi IS..at ₹ 6999.
