Lenovo Vibe ZHighlighting Lenovo's 2014 Android smartphone lineup at CES 2014 is the new Vibe Z. The phone has a 5.5-inch screen, with a 1080p HD IPS display at 400 pixels per inch. The handset is extremely fast, powered by a quad-core Qualcomm snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM. The phone features multi-window app support similar to what Samsung, Sony and LG have been offering on their larger Android devices for quite some time.
The handset comes with a silver or titanium body with a laser-etched, fabric-feel rear cover. This gives the handset a premium feel that outclasses other glossy plastic phones. Starting at $549, it's a good $100 cheaper than similarly sized phones that are currently on the market. The Vibe Z will be available starting in February in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the Philippines, but we could see a wider European and North American release later on in the year.
