Lenovo unveils three new smartphones

Lenovo has reaffirmed its commitment to the Nigerian smartphone market and its customers by introducing a mix of three new stylish and powerful smartphones into the market.

Lenovo, reputed as the world’s number three smartphone vendor, entered the Nigerian market in February last year and said the response had been “overwhelming.”

The company’s Executive Director of Mobile Business Group, Middle East and Africa, Shashank Sharma, described Nigeria as a vital focus for the organisation.

Sharma said, “Nigeria is one of the fastest growing smartphone markets globally. With about 30 per cent smartphone penetration, the country represents huge growth potential for Lenovo.”

“In the past one year, Lenovo has made strong progress with its Nigerian consumers. We consider the region as a principal destination for investment, even as we continue to record robust growth in sales.”

He said sustaining a solid in-country presence was very important to the company, from both social and economic standpoints. “We will continue to expand our business and invest heavily in this market,” Sharma said.

He added, “We are building on the strong relationships that we have with Nigerians by meeting their demand for smartphones with first-class design, smarter features and improved functionality, with special focus on our latest range of mobile devices.

“Our continued organic growth and expansion put us in a great position to maintain our momentum. We have tremendous balance between our core business, especially a profitable personal computer business and growth engines like tablets, enterprise, ecosystem and smartphones. We expect to continue to build on these strong results.”

At the meeting, Lenovo unveiled its new entrants into the market: the Lenovo P70 with an epic 4000mAh battery, which could last up to three days; the Lenovo S90, a perfect selfie companion with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera and front LED flash; and the ergonomically designed Lenovo S60 that showcases users’ fun and social sides.

According to Lenovo, the dual-SIM 4G LTE Lenovo P70 smartphone packs an epic 4000mAh battery that could last up to three days for an always-on life.
