Lenovo S930, phablet-style
With the S930 (hands-on), Lenovo tackles the midrange phablet market. The body design looks like an overgrown Vibe Z, though its specs take it down a notch.

Unlike the Vibe Z, a unibody design, you can peel back the S930's cover to add extra storage and swap out the battery.

Lenovo A859
Although part of a different series, the Lenovo A859 (hands-on) features specs that are very similar to those of the S930 and S650, like the quad-core MediaTek processor and an 8-megapixel camera.

Back cover
The A859 doesn't share the same aesthetics as the S-series phones. Instead, it features a glossy white back cover.
