Lenovo K80 offers Intel processor, 4GB RAM, and sub-$300 price tag

The ASUS Zenfone 2 may have been the world’s first smartphone to offer 4GB RAM, but it’s far from the only option heading our way. Lenovo has now announced its own 4GB RAM-packing handset, the Lenovo K80.

Like the Zenfone 2, the K80 is powered by a 64-bit Intel Atom processor, with other specs including a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 64GB storage, a 13MP camera with OIS, a 4,000 mAh battery, and Android 5.0 Lollipop running Lenovo’s custom skin. The Lenovo K80 is priced aggressively at 1,799 CNY, or about $290. There will also be a cheaper variant with less storage and just 2GB RAM.

While the Zenfone 2 is slowly making its way to more countries, with a possible US release sometime in the future, the Lenovo K80 is currently only announced for China with a release slated for April 30th. It’s possible that the K80 could reach at least a few other markets, but we can’t say where at this point.

What do you think of Lenovo’s latest, who do you feel it compares to the Zenfone 2, based on specs, pricing, and looks?
