Lenovo LePhone unboxed, exhaustively reviewed ahead of launch in China
We’re not sure how we missed this one, but it’s better late than never — turns out some lucky jerks in China were given a Lenovo LePhone to play with back in mid-April, and the guys at Sooyuu have just finished the fifth and final part of their lengthy review, just in time for the May launch. We weren’t expecting any changes since our last encounter at CES, but apparently the 3.7-inch screen’s now been upgraded from LCD to AMOLED, and like the Palm Pre, the LePhone also sports a gesture area below the screen. Of course, there’s also the never-before-seen packaging that we totally dig, not to mention the bundled goodies such as a leather case, a noise-isolation handsfree kit (but sans music and volume control), plus a magnetic dock adapter. As for software, the reviewer praises Lenovo’s snappy, heavily customized Android with its vast Chinese social networking service integration, music store, video apps, and an impressive Chinese turn-by-turn navigation suite. We almost want to adopt this baby, only to be let down by its 3.2-megapixel camera’s mediocre quality, lack of flash, and inability to autofocus. Anyhow, you can be the final judge — head over to Sooyuu for plenty more pictures.

Meizu M9 getting Android 2.1, possible August release?
Well, what do you know — perhaps there is an M9 in your future (or someone’s future) after all! After hearing the one and only Jack Wong detail the thing earlier this year, Beareyes.com is reporting that the device — with the same 3.6-inch display, 1 GHz (Samsung S5PC110) CPU, HDMI 1.3 out and more — may be out as early as this August. We think this is certainly do-able, although anything can happen — as the drawn-out gestation of a certain Meizu M8 made painfully clear. The new news? Rather than KIRFin’ up an Apple-esque interface, it looks like Android 2.1 might just be on tap. Sweet, eh? Look for it August 18, for around $350 depending on options… but don’t be surprised if you’re still looking long past the target date.
