However, Lenovo confirmed the UK is not part of its global smartphone plan.
"Lenovo will continue to drive growth and innovation in PCs while expanding across four screens (PC, tablet, smartphone, smartTV) of devices and into the eco system of cloud, services and other applications that make up the PC+ market. While Lenovo is always looking at expansion opportunities for new products and markets, there are no plans to launch smartphones in the UK. Confirmed launch markets outside of China are Russia, Indonesia, India, Philippines and Vietnam."
