If you've been eagerly awaiting the Lenovo S920 or S820 smartphone/phablet, it's your lucky day. Far more likely though, you've never heard of Lenovo's upcoming Android 4.2 Jelly Bean-powered handsets, which will ship only to Asian markets, and you could not care less about them.

The company is far better known for its laptops than its phones, and seems content to keep it that way in the States. In China, though, Lenovo is developing some pretty impressive hardware by U.S. standards.

The Lenovo S920 is said to rock a 5.3-inch screen, hence the phablet designation, and it will run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box. Perhaps one of the more noteworthy features is support for dual-SIM, which will allow users to connect to two networks simultaneously. The phone will feature a 2,250 mAh battery and if the 5.3-inch screen is any indication, it will probably have a 720p resolution. The S920 is also alleged to pack MediaTek's MT6589 quad-core processor.

Far less is known about the S920's presumably lower-end version, the S820. Lenovo says it's marketing this one toward women, but it's unclear what that effort entails beyond the hot-red casing the phone is apparently built into.

While dual-SIM phones are fairly common in Latin America, where many users subscribe to two or more providers to take advantage of cheaper rates that are offered only intra-carrier, they are basically non-existent in the States.

American telecoms have historically banned the use of dual-SIM technology, primarily for competitive reasons, as it's not in their interests to have customers signed up on multiple carriers. If the S920 and S820 were ever to make their way to U.S. shores, users could more easily purchase wireless plans from, say Verizon and AT&T and without having to manually pop the SIM out and insert a new one each time, they could switch between the two plans depending on who they were calling.
