The Lenovo K4 is one of the devices that have been announced during the CES 2016. The handset from the Chinese tech company is said to be now on sale in a Saudi Arabian Web retailer.
According to Android Headlines, Lenovo is renowned throughout most of India as it has released numerous models of smartphones. Based on the reports, the Lenovo K4 Note will be sold and marketed only in the said country. However, there are talks suggesting that the newly released smartphone is now being sold online at Jarir Bookstore in Saudi Arabia with information on where to pick up the handset at its retail locations online.
The K4 Note s priced at SAR 899 which is around $240 USD. It has a markup of about 33 percent more than what the exclusive retailer, Amazon India, is marketing the device for.
The Indian Express cited some of the features that the Lenovo K4 Note sports. This new handset from the Chinese tech company features a 5.5-inch FHD (1920×1080 pixels), 441ppi, 178 degree wide angle, 450 Nits IPS display.

This handset runs on Android 5.1 operating system with Vibe UI. Lenovo has also added a fingerprint scanner at the back panel of the device.
On the audio front, the K4 Note comes with two 5W Dolby Atmos surround sound speakers along with a 3.5mm lossless combo audio jack. Other features include Lenovo-configured 3-mic audio input system for better call quality and Wolfson WM8281 audio codec.
As for the camera, the K4 Note is armed with 13 MP PDAF F2.2 ISOCELL rear-facing snapper with dual LED Flash at the back and a 5-MP selfie camera.

Meanwhile, International Business Times stated that apart from this smartphone, Lenovo is also selling a new virtual reality headset, AntVR, to beef up the experience of TheaterMax into immersive VR content. This headset is sold separately for Rs. 1,299 but the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note VR bundle costs Rs. 12,499.
Lenovo's sudden branching out to other markets makes it difficult to tell if the K4 Note will be available to other locations or not. Until then, fans and tech enthusiasts will have to wait patiently for more announcements.
