The Vibe Z may not be the most cutting-edge handset but it’s no slouch, either. It consists of a 5.5-inch display with a 1080p IPS screen and pixel density of 400 PPI that’s powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM.
Digging deeper, we find options for up to 16GB of flash storage, a rear 13-megapixel camera with f/1.3 lens, a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter and 802.11ac Wi-Fi, among other common amenities. The phone measures in at just 7.9mm thick and is said to feature a textured plastic back that is similar to the Vibe X and the Yoga Tablet.
The device will ship with a heavy-skinned version of Android 4.3 and will arrive in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the Philippines next month for $549 off-contract.
If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, three other non-4G LTE Lenovo smartphones may do the trick. The A859 features a 5-inch, 720p IPS display, a quad-core MediaTek Processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, two SIM card slots and an 8-megapixel rear camera for $319. The S930 has essentially the same specs under a 6-inch display for $319 while the lower-end S650 is a 4.7-incher with a 960 x 540 screen and 8-megapixel camera priced at $229.
