The same week that Lenovo introduced a new Android smartphone, the Lenovo LePhone S2, for the Chinese market, it also confirmed plans to support another mobile operating system in future products. In an interview with Chinese blog iMobile, Lenovo product manager Chen Yue confirmed that the company will launch a Windows Phone device in the second half of 2012. He revealed no details about specifications of the new devices.
Yue also confirmed that recently leaked pictures of a LePhone S2 running Windows Mobile are genuine. This could mean that one of its first devices would pair Windows Mobile to a device sporting a 1.4GHz single core Qualcomm processor, 3.8-inch WVGA (480×800) display, up to 16GB of onboard storage, and an 8MP camera capable of 720p video capture.
Yue gave no indication whether Lenovo would bring its Windows Phone smartphones to the North American market.
