Spec-wise, Lenovo S890 has the better specs. Considering the screen resolution of 480 x 800 of Grand VS 540 X 960 of S890, and the 187 PPI of Grand VS 220 PPI of S890. Dimensions are a bit different. S890 is thinner for .3 inches. And the 2100 mAh of Grand VS 2250 mAh of S890. So, you judge.

I find the P770 the better buy. Though smaller at 4.5inches, it has a larger capacity battery at 3500mah. And it’s cheaper by approximately a grand. It can also act as a power bank capable of charging other devices via USB OTG

Yes p770 is a good buy considering the android version, processor speed and of course the battery. But I was told that the user available memory for apps is only 600mb, is this true? Thanks

how do you know it has better quality and performance? have you held BOTH of these phones?

also Lenovo S890 is dual-sim, LG’s L9 isn’t. so comparing those two is a little off as they might cater to different markets

This proves to be a very good matchup, however the Lenovo P770 seems to be a better choice.

Where is Lenovo made, china? Or to clarify, it’s a Chinese company or what?

@smokescreen: the 770 runs 4.1?

Thanks

Lenovo is indeed a chinese company. And yes 770 runs on 4.1.

Thank you Smokescreen.. yes, I did in fact have time to check it out.. you’re correct on both accounts.

Too bad kobe byrant is the endorser for Lenovo. I would hate to think the others would think I bought a Lenovo because of kobe.

S890 was released in the market last November in china.
I am wondering what kind of “s890” was announced during CES.
Specs are the same however the one they sell here is running ICS.
Price is 1899 RMB with some freebies.
