Lenovo, one of the best laptop manufacturers of the World have shaped their interest to Smatphones. Lenovo recently launched a Smartphone, phablet to be more accurate with the name IdeaPhone K860. The phablet has really surprised everyone with its performance. The phablet can be ranked no 2 this year right after Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Design of Lenovo Ideapad K860:
Looking at the design of Ideapad K860, one should surely praise Lenovo for their success. On the top of the phablet ther is the Power button with 3.5 mm headphone jack. On the right of it, there is a volume rocker with positive and negative keys, both circular in shape. The micro SD card slot is on the left side of the phablet.

Verdict:
The phablet is indeed good, no doubt. But if Lenovo is really serious about producing smartphones and phablets, they should increase the numbers (which is very much possible in the near future). Apart from the non-availability and the outdated version of Android operating system, I could not find any other issue with the phablet.
