Lenovo P90 specs show a huge battery and 64-bit Intel Atom chip

Lenovo showed off all kinds of goodies at CES 2015 this week, and we’ve already looked at one of their new handsets in the Vibe X2 Pro. That wasn’t the only smartphone the company had on display though, and the Lenovo P90 is well worth a look if you need a device with plenty of juice.
As the devices in our pockets become more powerful and their screens become bigger, they need more juice. Nobody wants to be tethered to the wall all day, and the Lenovo P90 can help with that thanks to a massive 4,000mAh battery. That power plant will have no trouble powering the P90’s 5.5-inch FHD display or the 64-bit Intel Atom Z3560 processor.
The rest of the Lenovo P90 specs include 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4.1, WiFi, and an FM radio. You’ll be able to take sharp selfies with the 5MP sensor on the front, and the rear camera is listed at 13MP. The 4G enabled handset measures 150 mm x 77.4mm x 8.5mm with a weight of 156grams, and will run Android 4.4 out of the box.
The Lenovo P90 is one of the first handsets to make use of Intel’s new 64-bit chips, and that big battery will be a godsend for users that stay glued to their smartphone 24/7. At this time, we’re unsure of the Lenovo P90 price and availability, but it is expected to start its roll out sometime in February.

Alcatel launches its own online store in the US

Huawei already has its own online store in the US, through which it sells the Ascend Mate 2 in unlocked form along with a bunch of accessories. And now fellow Chinese company TCL has created a virtual storefront of its own, for the Alcatel brand. Unlike Huawei, though, Alcatel also lists those devices that it has customized for carriers.

So if you're in the US, you can now order Alcatel devices straight from their maker. The store is clearly a move meant to make the Alcatel brand more well known in the US. Its French origins mean it has a good deal of notoriety in Europe, but not so much across the pond.

Alcatel's US store is powered by Amazon, which means you can get Prime benefits if you're subscribed to that. The brand already has an online presence in a few countries in Europe, which it plans to expand later this year. By the end of March, we should also see an Alcatel store in Canada.

Up for grabs over at the company's US establishment are accessories (device covers, NFC tags, power banks, Bluetooth headsets, and more) but also some mobile devices too, as you'd expect.

You can get the Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+, Idol Mini, Pop C9, and Idol 2S smartphones, as well as thePop 7 and Pop 8 tablets.

The unlocked devices are all up for pre-order at the moment, with the shipping date being January 28.

Golden Lumia 930 and 830 officially announced

Earlier today we saw the leaked images of a golden Lumia 930, and now Microsoft officially confirmed its existence, as well as that of a golden Lumia 830.

Die-hard bling-bling fans shouldn't rejoice though, as the exact words used in the press release were "anodized gold color". Meaning you get the same aluminum frame (which is no bad thing all in itself) only colored differently in the manufacturing process. That also fits well with the previously leaked price of the golden 930, which at $470 didn't sound overly exclusive.

 
Lumia 930 | Lumia 830

The devices will be produced in black and white only, so no green Lumia with a golden frame, sorry. Microsoft has also kept the original Nokia branding on these special editions which could potentially make them collectors items.

The availability of the golden Lumias will span select countries in Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, as well as China. If you're in India, your options are only limited to the 830 model. The 930 will go for sale towards the end of January, while you'll have to wait until some time in February to buy the 830.

The specs remain unchanged from the original versions, as this is simply a limited edition cosmetic redesign.
