Given the increasing popularity of Redmi note phones, every other smartphone company is had now pulled up a sock to beat the competition. Lenovo has recently announced its redmi note 5-killer. It will be launching a new smartphone, dubbed as Lenovo S5, on March 20 in China.
Lenovo CEO Chang Cheng shared an image of the upcoming release, which is similar to Lenovo K520 which we had earlier seen on TENAA.
It’s clearly an 18:9 display and there is a front-facing camera along with earpiece at the top, while on the right, there is a volume rocker and power on/off buttons. Another image shoes the back panel of the smartphone with dual rear cameras and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The antenna lines seem to be running on the top and bottom of the back panel.
Lenovo CEO claims that the upcoming S5 will offer better performance than the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5.
This claim after Xiaomi’s confirmation about the use of Snapdragon 636 processor and 6GB RAM in Redmi Note 5, has increased expectations from Lenovo.
Specifications of Lenovo S5 are still unknown. But much of it would be before the release through leaks and updates from the company.
