Lenovo continues its aggressive roll-out of its 2014 portfolio of phones with the new, stylish S850. The S-series is Lenovo’s premium, affordable mid-range smartphone family.

The S850 boasts a quad-core MediaTek processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage, 5-inch HD IPS display, dual-SIM capabilities and good shooters (13MP rear, and 5Mp front).

Weighing just 140g and remarkably thin, the S850 has a lightweight all-glass exterior, available in pink, white and blue. Fashionistas eat your heart out.
