We heard rumours of Lenovo dropping the Moto X branding for their next line of flagships. It’s pretty much confirmed now with Lenovo’s latest trademark.

Lenovo and Xiaomi have lost their places at fourth and fifth respectively, as the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world.

It’s a surprising development as Lenovo-Motorola are well established, and Xiaomi are hyped to be the […]

A new version of the Lenovo Vibe X3 has just passed certification in China, showcasing a completely revamped design which is a far cry from the X2. The Lenovo Vibe X2 was a pretty device, with its layered metal finish and contrasting colours creating a stylish looking handset. When comparing it to the minimalistic design […]

Lenovo has announced two new smartphones with a focus on extended battery life.  With the recent acquisition of Motorola, we thought that it could mean less Lenovo handsets and more Moto. Still, this hasn’t stopped the company from releasing two new smartphone devices at IFA this year. Dubbed the VIBE series, they both feature a […]

Lenovo has begun the process of sending out invites for the long anticipated Moto 360 2 reveal on September 8th.

Lenovo has today announced that the ZUK Z1 will be arriving in international markets starting from ‘mid-October’.

This little flagship killer could be a big hit if it gets priced effectively, […]

Lenovo has announced that it is bringing the ZUK Z1 smartphone to international markets. ZUK is a brand new smartphone manufacturer fresh out of China which has recently received heavy backing from Lenovo. Previously, the company only had one device available in China, the ZUK. Now, they intend to move into international markets with the […]

Of all the smartphone lines that we’d love to see make its way to the UK one day, Lenovo’s Vibe range is right near the top of the pile. We’ve already fawned over the beastly Vibe Z2 Pro before, and the Vibe X2 is equally desirable. Rather than leave us be to wallow in our sadness, […]

What do you look for in a tablet/laptop hybrid? Great design? A slim form-factor? Performance? Creative input from Two and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher? Well, you’ve certainly got some oddly specific tastes, but as it should happen we have just the device for you. The Lenovo Yoga 3 is here, and at a […]

The new mid-range HTC Desire 820 and Lenovo Vibe Z2 are, alongside a handful of other smartphones, harbingers of change for Android devices. You may be wondering how two Android smartphones classed as mid-range – a sector awash with middle-of-the-road specs and stagnant design aesthetics – can be different? It all boils down to their […]

On this week’s podcast we talk about the rumoured iPhone 6 launch date, the Moto X+1, a premium phablet from Lenovo to rival the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the major changes made to Twitch.

‘Premium’ and ‘Lenovo’ aren’t two words you hear together in the same sentence terribly often. It’s not to say that Lenovo makes  bad devices, not at all, but it rarely shoots for the high-end of the market – particularly when it comes to smartphones. That is why, with open arms, we welcome the Lenovo Vibe […]

Lenovo has already proved its worth when it comes to solid Windows tablets with its IdeaPad range of premium slates.

It can be tough, waiting for your handset to receive a firmware update, but a whole host of popular models are finally set to receive Android 4.4 KitKat.

Chinese manufacturer Lenovo saw its net profit grow 29% for the business year ended March, as solid smartphone sales helped combat weak growth in its domestic market of China.

Walking out of your job on seven years on the spot would rarely be considered a rational response to developments at the office.

It’s time for the WhatMobileNews Cast! There’s one very, very big story this week. We are of course talking about Google flogging off Motorola to Lenovo. Jamie and Mike try to make sense of the biggest story of the year (so far). Where will the company go from here? How did it lose so much […]

Well here’s an interesting spin on today’s Motorola news. Lenovo, which just bought the company from Google, might be making the next Nexus device.

Google has sold off Motorola to Lenovo for $2.9 billion ( £1.75 billion). The deal comes less than two years after Google first bought the mobile company for some $12.5 billion ( £7.54 billion).

It seems the Canadian government is insistent on letting BlackBerry die, preferring to keep it as an ailing standalone company with a rather paltry $1 billion investment rather than see it in the hands of another company — well at least that’s how it seems with the Canadian government making it very clear to BlackBerry’s […]

There’s no denying that Ashton Kutcher is the ultimate geek, after all he plays a billionaire CEO of a technology company in Two and a Half Men and has even played the visionary that is the late Steve Jobs. Now however, Ashton Kutcher is taking on a very different role, as a product engineer at […]

After one Chinese company turned down the possibility of buying BlackBerry, another could have just come to the rescue. According to the Wall Street Journal, Lenovo has signed a non-disclosure agreement with BlackBerry to give Lenovo the chance of looking at BlackBerry’s finances a little closer. The WSJ hasn’t disclosed sources and it’s not the […]

It’s quite possible that you’re familiar with the HTC brand much more than you are Lenovo, although both are big companies. The latter produces the likes of tablets and laptops, but its phone business is currently more popular in its home territory of China. The company could be looking to span into the West with […]

Like every company ever, Lenovo wants your money. Well, to be more specific, it mainly wants China’s money, as that’s the market where the company has seen some success with its new(ish) smartphone business. Its phones are generally perceived as lower-end devices, with a market share second only to that of Samsung. Now it wants […]

We loved the Lenovo Yoga 11s in our review, but it’s no longer the king of the castle anymore, thanks to the updated Yoga 2 Pro, which comes with our biggest ask — a full HD display. It’s not just full HD though, with the resolution coming in at 3200×1800, bringing it up there with […]

Lenovo evidently loves things than bend, with the Yoga series proving that obsession, although the Flex 15 now hopes to bring a sense of flexibility to those who might not be able to afford the high price of the Yoga line. The Flex 15 does have one compromise though, with it only having two modes […]

The Lenovo Flex 20 isn’t your standard all-in-one, whilst it’s designed to be a desktop PC, it’s also mobile given the existence of an internal battery — although it may be difficult to lift given it weighs a rather hefty 3.5kg. The display isn’t exactly 20 inches either, with a 19.5-inch touchscreen capable of a […]

Lenovo has always been known for making some pretty solid devices at a low price point, and the S5000 is no different, offering you 7-inch tablet for just ‚¬200 ( £168).

The Lenovo Yoga has been so successful that the company has decided to bring the funky design to mid-range consumers through a new range of products called Flex. The Flex line of products isn’t just an all-in-one, it also includes two laptops, the Flex 14 and 15. The Flex 20 has the biggest screen of […]

You didn’t think Lenovo had just a single product announcement at IFA did you? Lenovo arguably created the first successful hybrid Windows 8 PC, with the Yoga series, and now it’s getting a much welcomed update. The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro has a 13.3-inch display capable of a resolution of 3200×1800 — meaning it’s […]

Lenovo’s ThinkPad line has always been known as some serious business machines, and that’s what Lenovo want you to think — but there’s no reason they can’t have a little fun too. The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga brings the funky design of the Yoga family to the ThinkPad line. The difference between the ThinkPad-branded model and […]

Sales figures released today by tech giant Lenovo have revealed that, for the first time, more of their business comes from smartphones and tablets than from PC’s.

Lenovo is taking aim at the lower-end of the tablet market, with the Lenovo Miix, a Windows tablet running the full version of Windows 8 rather than RT. This may not be the first time you’ve heard of the Lenovo Miix, with it initially being unveiled in June, but it’s finally gone up for order […]

It was pretty quiet on the RIM stand today, but there was an interesting announcement put out regarding a new level of integration between Lenovo ThinkPad laptops and BlackBerry smartphones.
