Intel phone debuts in China

SAN FRANCISCO--Intel Corp. has announced the release of another Atom-powered smartphone, this time by Chinese electronics vendorLenovo Group, which announced its intent to put out an Intel Inside device at CES 2012 back in January.

The device, dubbed the LePhone K800, is now available for Chinese consumption for around RMB 3,299 ($524).

Intel said the phone was targeted towards “technological pioneers and business elites.”

Built almost exactly to the spec of Intel’s reference design, the LePhone boasts a 1.6 GHz Atom processor, built on a 32-nm process.

The device also sports a 4.5-inch IPS full-view screen and 400MHz GPU for full 1080p HD playback and video recording. Lenovo has also equipped the phone with an 8-megapixel rear-camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.
