Lenovo has unveiled the words’s first Android 4.0 smart TV at CES 2012. What is interesting is that Lenovo’s k9 runs on Android 4.0, not Google TV. The company claims that it has wrapped a new ‘smart UI’ around Andrpid 4.0 in the k9.
With this offering, the company aims to bring features like video-on-demand, Web apps and of course, TV programms. The Lenovo k91 smart TV runs on a 1.5 GHZ Qualcomm 8060 SnapDragon processor, which is likely to be fast enough to play1080P movies and to run casual games.
Lenovo has given the k9 is a pretty decent design, but it still does not seem to be competing with the televisions offered by Samsung or LG. The company has used a 139.7 CM (55 inch) IPS LCD display, which is likely to reproduce great colours at wide viewing angles.
