We’ve been talking a lot about certain flagships smartphones which are headed to MWC 2015, most prominently the Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 or Hima.

Of Sony and LG we already know they are going to be skipping the event phone-wise and will probably go on to focus on other products.

But Lenovo was a notable absentee from the rumor mill related to any MWC 2015-bound products.

Well, a month before the Barcelona event opens its gates, we bring you word (as seen at Gizmo China) that the Chinese device maker is actually prepping something quite interesting for us.

Lenovo Vibe Z3 Pro due in next month

The device maker is going to roll out the successor of its high-end Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, which will naturally be called the Vibe Z3 Pro.

The new arrival will mark a reduction in screen size, coming out with a 5.5-inch display (rather than a 6-inch one as we have seen with the Vibe Z2 Pro) and boasting 1440 x 2560 resolution (the pesky 2K kind a Huawei official says puts an unwanted toll on battery life).

Following the footsteps of every major smartphone that’s to be unveiled this spring, the Vibe Z3 Pro abides to the standard. Thus, expect it to come donning a 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 810 CPU fitted with a consistent 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

In the photography department, the new Lenovo flagship will don a 16MP snapper on the back with OIS (optical image stabilization) and Tri-LED flash.

The handset will be powered by a 3400 mAh non-removable battery. We’re going to see a few changes when it comes to buttons. The Lenovo Vibe Z3 Pro will reportedly have a mute button, dedicated camera button and the speakers will be placed on the bottom.

Judging by the images, the Vibe Z3 Pro will have a sturdy metal frame and not such a sleek profile.

As for pricing, we don’t really know anything, although given the fact that this model has flagship-like specs, we expect it to be offered with a consistent price tag.

It seems like MWC 2015 will be getting more interesting with Lenovo joining in the group of manufacturers that will be treating us with new smartphone goodness.
