“Lenovo (including Motorola) captured the eight spot with a market share of 2 per cent. While the Motorola brand did well, it was Lenovo smartphones that registered decline during the quarter. The Lenovo brand declined in India and in rest of APAC while Motorola continued to do well in LATAM and US smartphone markets,” the firm had said.

The Lenovo K9 is expected to feature a 5.7-inch HD+ (1440×720 pixels) IPS display, and may be powered by a Qualcomm or MediaTek chipset. The smartphone could launch in two variants: 3GB RAM + 32GB storage and a 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant. It is tipped to feature a rear dual-camera setup with 16MP primary and a 2MP second sensor, with AI capabilities. On the front, the smartphone may house an 8MP shooter with beauty mode. The Lenovo K9 could get a 3,760mAh battery, and it is expected to run Android 8.1 Oreo. If the expected specs of the device are anything to go by, then it could be a budget offering to rival the Xiaomi Redmi 6 or Nokia 3.1 Plus. The Lenovo K9 launch will be livestreamed starting 4PM this evening. You can tune into Lenovo India's YouTube channel to catch the livestream of the launch.
