While the exact same name was not mentioned in the announcement, Lenovo's post did suggest the launch of a smartphone by the same name. Now, Lenovo has revealed some of the specifications and features of its next smartphone.

The front part of the handset had pointed at a 2.5D curved glass display with 18:9 aspect ratio. Interestingly, the design appears to be similar to the Lenovo K520 that was certified by TENAA earlier. The smartphone is said to come with a 5.65-inch full-HD+ display, Snapdragon 625 SoC, 4GB RAM, Android 8.0 Oreo, and a 3000mAh battery.
