Although we are tired of discussing and debating about the iphone6, looks like it would never stop from getting near us!! But if you though we are again starting the age old topic. WAIT!!! It isn’t that. We are here to give you a heads up about the Lenovo S90 which looks like a close cousin of the iphone6. The Sisley S90 has been unveiled in India for an amount of Rs. 19,900.

Lenovo S90

Although we teasingly remark about the design we really have nothing against the Lenovo S90. It’s a fashionable sleek AMOLED screen handset measuring around 5 inches in width. It is built up with a quad-core Qualcomm processor and IGB of RAM. With all the increase in craze it would be a grave mistake if the handset doesn’t support an explicit selfie, therefore the S90 has a 8 megapixel selfie snapper. The smartphone also features a 13 megapixel rear camera. This dual sim handset is powered by Android 4.4.4 KitKat version. The S90 has an inbuilt storage of 32GB and it is not expandable via the microSD card.

The Lenovo S90 is no lesser than any of its rivals as it comprises of all the default pre requisites like 4G, Wi-Fi, GPS/A-GPS, Bluetooth, NFC and FM radio. A 2300mAh battery supports the S90. A Mumbai based telecom retailer had hinted about Lenovo’s entry in India, although there were no official announcements from Lenovo India. The smartphone is available in the company’s own online store and would be soon ready for shipping.

Not only did the Lenovo S90 take its looks and dimensions from iphone6, but looks like, it kind of even followed the iphone6’s advertising and marketing strategies. But we never know how this would work. You think it will? You think it won’t?? We will never know until you tell us.. so go ahead !! s
