Lenovo S650 Hands on


Lenovo S650 is yet another mid-range Android smartphone from yet another Chinese manufacturer. The Lenovo S650 is present at CES 2014 and we go hands on with the device. Lenovo is usually very concerned about the build quality of its products and the Lenovo S650 is no different. Lenovo has given the S650 a polycarbonate back cover with fabric-feel texture that makes it stand apart from the crowd.
