Measuring in at 6.9mm and weighing 162 grams, Lenovo claims that the phone is the slimmest available at the higher end of the market.

The K900 features a speedy Intel Atom processor under the hood, along with 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

A high-powered 13-megapixel camera resides on the rear of the handset, featuring a f1.8 focal length lens, the widest aperture ever seen in a smartphone camera.

The phone also has a 2-megapixel snapper on the front, but will not offer 4G connectivity.

"With the K900, our team has broken down the key functions of the smartphone and redesigned them from the ground up," said Lenovo executive Liu Jun. 

"Rather than focus on specifications that look good on a datasheet, we've zeroed in on what consumers want and proved that for smartphone users, top performance doesn't require a thick profile. The K900 is a game-changer that looks as good as it performs."

Lenovo's K900 smartphone will be released in China in April before heading to other markets later in the year.
