Lenovo outs two smartphones for 2012

CHINESE HARDWARE VENDOR Lenovo has unveiled not one but two smartphones, the Lephone K2 and an unnamed Windows Phone 7.5 Mango device.

The Lephone K2 is the Android device and will come with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, not Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Details are very light on Windows alternative, apart from that it will run Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system and tip up in the second half of next year, according to PC Mag.

It is unclear whether either device will tip up outside of China, but that's likely the case. The Lephone K2 will have a Qualcomm 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a 4.3in in-plane switching (IPS) display, according to Engadget.

Other specifications for the Android flavoured smartphone include 1GB of RAM, 1GB of internal storage and an 8MP rear facing camera. Lenovo leaked a slightly larger device with a 5in screen last week, which will be a tablet crossed with a phone called the Ideapad. µ
