Lenovo have revealed that the cost of their flagship Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro is an amazing $780, that’s a pretty cocky price, and is likely to kick them in the butt!
At a time when flagship smartphones in China are getting better hardware and lower prices, Lenovo have done something stupid! They have released their newest smartphone with last years pricing!
This year most manufacturers are dropping prices to compete with the viral mobile market. Xiaomi have stuck to the 1999 price of the Mi4, OnePlus launched the One at a similar price, IUNI’s new U3 costs peanuts and it is even rumoured that Meizu will be dropping prices too!
So while everyone drops pricing, Lenovo have decided to ask for more! It seems like a strange strategy and one that we feel isn’t going to work out for them. Over the past few years Lenovo have produced some great flagships all of which have been hampered by competing phones at better pricing. It seems they haven’t learnt their lesson with the release of the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro either!
Gizchina News of the week
The Vibe Z2 Pro (K920) now has an official selling price of 4799 Yuan, about $780. That is an awful lot of money considering that the IUNI U3 with similar specs is less than half the price, and you would have a lot of change left over if you went for the Vivo Xplay 3S or even the Oppo Find 7!
Lenovo are confident they will shift the 6-inch, 2K, LTE equipped phone, but we aren’t so sure.
What do you think of the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro asking price?
OK. That is one sick price. I guess they didn’t plan on selling much of it.
Haha, very funny Lenovo.
Seriously though, I don’t see any reason to take this over the Vivo Xplay 3S. This is just blatant bullshit.
And with every one you buy you have a chance of winning a Gold ticket.
Are Lenovo living in Willy Wonker land this pricing is beyond stupid
I was very interested in getting one of these. The key word being “WAS”. That price is ridiculous.
500$ is justified or below… lenovo always have a problem of pricing thier phones higher… if 780$ is the price then I will not even think about lenovo bcoz note 4 is launching
Lenovo is smoking crack …
I think their actual strategy will be 50% discount or buy one get one free,,!!!
actually this real marketing stuff, they put high price then slice the price to normal price so its price look worth to buy
Too crazy price. I was waiting for this phone to buy but I think they don’t want to sell. Will wait till they are forced to bring the price to normal.
Exhale, Lenovo
For that price there are too many better alternatives. Idiots! Right now you can get 3 k910’s for that. I have the K910 and love it. I’ll wait and see what their mini version looks like and if it’s stupidly priced stick with the K910 or look elsewhere.
Hi Lenovo, let me know when you drop your pricing to 2499 yuan!! I may consider then!
What phone you have? Well a Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro aka K920. Not only the price tag is silly but the name as well. What is wrong with only K920? Why the ridiculous long name? Looks like Lenovo lost it once more.
In every country there are rich and bored people curious to burn money and get something that others cannot afford, although usually there are alternatives with better specs but available to everybody.
Is that or this cell phone is a transformer that can double as a personal body guard.
Did i just read that price correctly?? My Nubia Z7 has the same specs and costs nearly half of that. For that price I could get a flagship phone and a tablet.
I would buy that , but non removable battery is a no no for me
