A yet to be revealed Lenovo A6600 appeared in TENAA certification listing in China. The entry-level smartphone is rumored to cost around $110 when it becomes available.


Lenovo A6600 features MediaTek chipset with 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of expandable memory. The display is a 5″ unit with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.


There is an 8MP main camera on the back of the device, coupled with 5MP front-facing unit. The smartphone has a 7.5mm waistline and LTE connectivity.
