Intel Medfield-Based Lenovo K800 Smartphone Launching in May

Unveiled back in January at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Intel Medfield-powered smartphone Lenovo K800 has just been confirmed for late May.

Intel’s China chief Sean Maloney said on Weibo that Lenovo K800 would be released next month with the company’s new “Avatar Technology.”

There is no detail on this new technology for the moment, but we’re pretty sure Intel will reveal more information closer to launch.

Lenovo K800 is equipped with a 1.6 Ghz single-core Intel Atom processor and a PowerVR SGX 540 graphics processing unit (GPU). It will be powered by Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system with Lenovo’s LeOS UI on top.

It is also worth mentioning that the K800 features support for HSPA+, a stunning 4.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, and an 8-megapixel rear camera. The smartphone will be available via China Unicom carrier.
