Lenovo is the first to announce an Intel-powered Android smartphone, their K800 headed to China Unicom. We had the opportunity to go hands-on with the device here at CES 2012 and we can say definitively that there is a bright future for the Intel/Android combination. The phone features a 4.5-inch 720p display, 1GB of RAM, and an 8MP camera and runs Lenovo’s custom interface on top of Android Gingerbread.
We couldn’t tell much of a difference between the this phone using the Medfield platform and devices running on ARM-based systems, and that’s a good thing. Response was smooth, HD video didn’t lag or stutter, and the camera was quick when flexing its “burst shot” (10 pictures in 1 second) muscle. It will be interesting too see how the market develops as companies such as Lenovo and Motorola begin to create devices using the different chipsets.
The phone has a solid feel and a sharp design, with geometric lines and hard corners. Intel’s SoC allows for a pretty thin profile, but the K800 won’t set any precedents as far as that is concerned. Check out the video below for the rundown.
Brightness too high. Epic fail.
What’s the dumbest comment… As well as dude who liked it.
Have you ever hear about settings and brightness adjustment….
Also there is pretty dark there.
Also comes equipped with a powerVR sgx540..
Meh…by the time it’s ready for production it will be struggling to keep up.
I very much doubt that.

Google is your friend…well, its a tool at least.
Ain’t that whats inside the Galaxy S original?
Ahh yes we see the good stuff and get the water down version later
From what I understand, Intel based devices will run Java apps fine but about 1/4 of Android apps are in native ARM code. Intel has a binary translator for ARM code but word is that compatibility is not perfect and is slower. Looks like we’ll have yet another level of Android fragmentation. Is a bummer cause I’d like to have a tablet that runs both Android and Windows (and Ubuntu Linux).
Oh please let me buy a Lenovo phone in the US soon!
I love that company, their products sure do make ASUS and Sammy’s feel like the big bad wolves of the android ecosystem.
Lenovo is a brand I can take pride in supporting.
