Lenovo LePhone S2

Lenovo unveiled its new Android-based smartphone S2 at the Consumer Electronics Show 2012. The firm has not yet announced the pricing or the availability of the phone. However, it will be made available in China soon. 

The Lenovo S2 is an android Poweredsmartphone running Android 2.3gingerbread a Dual core Qualcomm 8260 processor at 1.4Ghz with a 3.8-inch display, an 8 megapixel camera with independent ISP. 

The big thing with the Lenovo S2 is the heavy custom user interface that overlays its Android underpinnings. When we say heavy, we mean heavy. They call the interface Clover (which is found on other Lenovo mobile products as well) and it will make you wonder if you are really using an Android device or not. The heavy UI matched with a single-core Snapdragon processor probably isn’t the best match and the smartphone’s overall performance showed that. Going between screens was laggy and the selection of an icon was usually met with some hesitation.
