Lenovo joins 64-bit Android smartphone parade with Vibe Z2

From PC World: Lenovo will ship a 64-bit Android smartphone, the Vibe Z2, later this month in China, rolling it out to other regions in October.

Lenovo joins HTC, which announced the Desire 510 last week, and Apple in offering a 64-bit smartphone, with more handset makers expected to follow in the coming months. The Vibe Z2 and Vibe X2, which are part of Lenovo’s flagship handset line, were announced this week at the IFA trade show in Berlin.

The Vibe Z2 has a 5.5-inch screen, weighs 155 grams and is 7 millimeters thick, making it one of the company’s thinnest handsets, said Keith Liu, director of smartphone marketing in Lenovo’s mobile business group. It has a Qualcomm 64-bit Snapdragon quad-core processor.

“It is ready for the 64-bit compatible Android OS when it launches later in the year,” Liu said of the Vibe Z2.
