Intel-powered Lenovo K900 pegged for April 17th release in China

The Lenovo K900 is quite the intriguing phone. With a 5.5-inch 1080p display and Intel Clover Trail+ processor, it will launch as arguably the best-specced Android phone to run an Atom CPU. Adding to the appeal is an all-metal design that feels solid, looks classy, and remains svelte in hand. The bad news is that we are unlikely to see the phone in too many regions outside of China. The good news is that we now have a release date.

The K900 is currently in production and slotted for an April 17th release, according to MyDrivers. Pricing is said to start around 2999 yuan, or about $480. That pricing is in line with other recent high-end Chinese releases.

The K900 offers a few compelling reasons for those living outside the US to consider importing the handset. The cost might ultimately outweigh the benefit, but the latest from Lenovo offers a glimpse of where the company is going.
