If there is one thing absolutely vital in my smartphone apart from great call management, is it being able to download and edit most email attachments; and much more such as Document Viewer, Pushmail present in this device. It's a constant struggle with the Lenovo K900 to balance my need for a large screen and keyboard that accommodate my large fingers, against the need for a small size and low weight device that would enhance mobility. Not an hour goes by without my phone ringing, that's why I always go for something like the Lenovo K900 that has all the advanced features to ease the communication. Although I am not so much into file sharing via Bluetooth as I am more of an email guy, but it is quite essential for hands-free calling. I am constantly on the move, even if most of the travel routes are familiar, the GPS navigation in the Lenovo K900 is quite reliable and reassuring.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
I like typing on the large keypad of the Lenovo K900 but the screen overall is too big to carry around. I like enlarging the images and text on the screen, which I do quite often, using my fingers instead of fidgeting with the settings and multi-touch on this phone allows me to do it. I never let a special occasion pass by without recording it, right from cake cutting to dinner parties; and the Lenovo K900 with good recording features is really good for me. I don't like the camera in particular, and I won't be buying the Lenovo K900, however good the other features might be.Ishan's Review (A geek)
Gaming or reading on the larger-than-life 5.5 inch display of the Lenovo K900 is really exciting as the graphics seem so real and the text so lucid. I definitely need a multi-touch screen to zoom in or out on the gaming action and even flick the ebook pages. Gaming on the Lenovo K900 with 2 GHz is decently fluid, not that exciting though; for the long haul however, I would recommend a higher frequency for gaming. Well, gaming on dual core is really bad with numerous hang-ups and extremely slow app load time. Heavy multi-tasking and graphic-intensive games seem like a cakewalk with the 2 GB RAM of the Lenovo K900. The Lenovo K900 with the 16 GB internal storage really talks to me; it understands my storage needs when it comes to my ebook and gaming collection.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
For me the 5.5 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the Lenovo K900. And I simply can't stop admiring the awesome screen size and the fantastic videos of the Lenovo K900. Movies and videos on a large screen are the best, the screen type or resolution doesn't matter to me much. Even typing is quite easy on a large screen, although you always need both hands to operate it. I can zoom in or zoom out images with pinching movements of my fingers on the screen of the Lenovo K900. And flick my fingers to rotate images or turn pages of ebook; that's why the Multi-Touch technology is really nice. Yes, 13 MP is not that great camera resolution. There are so many smartphones with better megapixels sometimes even cheaper than this phone. I love clicking pictures with my smartphone and this one doesn't seem up for it. I can't imagine my smartphone without the secondary camera. I and my friends simply love the selfies and groupies and click hundreds of them. It's too much effort to do it with the main camera, so having a cool front camera is much better; it is more fun to have front camera with higher megapixels. My smartphone should do a lot of things simultaneously and not just basic messaging, emails and browsing. And the 2G network is too slow to do anything more than that. I can now travel to almost any new place or location with the built-in GPS and it is great help during various emergencies, traffic updates or navigation issues. I always forget charging my phone so USB charging via my laptop is really a good option for me and sometimes I even use this port to transfer music and images. With the 16 GB internal storage I have to choose between which music, movies, videos and images to keep or delete from my phone. I hate to do that and hence don't like phones with average internal memory; a bigger storage is more of my style.
