Lenovo K4 Note With Fingerprint Sensor, NFC To Launch In India On Jan. 5: What About The US?

Lenovo fans will soon have another smartphone to pick from, and this will be unwrapped in India come early January.

Lenovo India announced that the K4 Note, which will be launched on Jan. 5, is going to sport a fingerprint scanner. To sweeten the pot, an NFC chip will be thrown in as well.

This new teaser Lenovo pushed out comes hot on the heels of another teaser divulging that the phone will have a 3 GB of RAM, as "99 percent" of fans seem to prefer it. But a day after, a report emerges saying the new device will have 4 GB and not 3 GB RAM.

The same report also claims that the K4 Note will have a 5.5-inch display and MediaTek Helio X10 processor. If other Lenovo devices are scheduled to get the latest Android update, the new killer note will be running on Marshmallow straight out of the box.

What About Other Markets
