At the ongoing CES 2015 expo, the Lenovo A6000 smartphone made its debut and is now en route to India where it will be made available exclusively through online retailer Flipkart. The device is basically the international version of its K3 phone which was previously slated for launch in the country.
With the Lenovo A6000, the Chinese OEM will be going after other brands like Asus, Micromax, Xiaomi and Motorola. Apart from being an affordable Android device with LTE support, the new handset will be one of the cheapest 64-bit releases. It’s said to carry a price of around Rs 10000 which surprisingly isn’t far from the international tag of $169.
The device offers a pretty decent design that looks a lot like the Vibe X2, sans the colorful layers and premium finish though. The exterior flaunts a 5-inch HD display, a 2MP selfie camera and an 8MP main shooter with LED flash.

And on the inside, there’s a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 chip, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage and a 2300mAh battery. One of the biggest competitors the A6000 will have to face is the Redmi 2 which offers very similar features and a lower retail tag of 699 Yuan which translates to around $112.
