Lenovo K4 Note Teased for Release in January 2016 with 3GB RAM

If you don't remember, Lenovo teased a “Killer Note” smartphone a few weeks ago and confirmed that the device would be launched in early 2016.

Although the Chinese company did not share any details on the name of the phone, we can safely assume that Lenovo will be launching the sequel to the K3 Note phablet that's been so popular in Asian countries.

Today, Lenovo is back with yet another teaser that confirms one specification of the upcoming “Killer Note” device, as well as the fact that the smartphone will be launched on the market next year.

According to the Chinese company, more than 99% of its fans preferred 3GB RAM in the upcoming smartphone, which is why Lenovo has decided to meet that demand and included that amount of memory inside the K4 Note.

Lenovo continues to refer to the upcoming phone as “Killer Note 2016,” so we can safely assume the smartphone will not be unveiled until next year.

It might be unveiled in January at CES 2016

Since CES 2016 is so close, there's a high chance Lenovo K4 Note will be unveiled in early January during the trade fair, but we don't rule out the possibility of being announced during a dedicated event that will take place in India.

Unfortunately, there are no details on the phone's specs sheet apart from the fact that it will come with 3GB of RAM inside.

However, rumor has it that Lenovo plans to include MediaTek's powerful Helio X10 chipset inside the K4 Note, but the information hasn't been confirmed yet.

We do expect Lenovo to continue to tease its “Killer Note” handset in the coming weeks, so additional information about the smartphone might be revealed soon.

Even though Lenovo K4 Note will be initially launched in India, and probably China too, the high-end smartphone is likely to make it to other countries in the weeks to follow.

JmGO View projector is beautiful, runs Android and is coming to CES

There’s plenty of smart and mobile projectors out there, but very few will look as good, be as self-sufficient or work as well as the JmGO View. This Chinese manufacturer is not very commonly known in western markets, but they aim to change this by bringing their latest and greatest product to CES 2016, in Las Vegas.

And trust us when we tell you they will definitely grab your attention, as these guys make some great products. We haven’t gotten a hold of an image of the actual device, but JmGO tells us it looks very much like the previous generation units (JmGO G1 and G1S).

The JmGO View features an aluminum alloy body and a cylindrical shape that makes it look stunning… and rather unique. There is only a single button on the top, which serves as the power on/off switch. Projectors aren’t often good looking, so this is definitely something JmGO did right.

It is surrounded by a set of speakers that also place it well above most other projectors (we all know integrated projector audio is mostly bad). It can project an image at 1280x720p resolution, as well as 3D. But resolution and 3D capabilities are nothing if the image is no good, right? Well, in this case it is. This thing can display at up to 180 inches, with a contrast of 1000:1 and a 250 lumens of brightness.

Te best part is likely that it is completely self-sufficient, though. The JmGO View will need no extra devices to work. It is powered by Android 4.4, a TI DLP 0.3 WVGA chipset and 1 GB of RAM. Packed inside is also a total of 16 GB of internal storage (8 GB are internal, the other 8 GB come from built-in TF card). The interface can be controlled with the remote or official app, via WiFi. Simple.

Interested? Previous versions were priced at $550-$600, so we can expect a similar price point. Don’t quote us on that just yet, though! we will find out more details at CES. What we do know is that the JmGO View will launch on Indiegogo this coming February 1st.
