A clever way of crowdsourcing
After announcing that they will be back at selling smartphones in the Philippines, Lenovo posted on their Philippines Facebook page a poll: which Z6 Lite variant should they bring to our shores?
Unlike other brands that don’t reveal the price until the official local launch, Lenovo Philippines went on revealing their possible SRP for the 4GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB variants, which is at Php 10,990 and Php 12,990 respectively. While the consensus as of this writing is in favor of the 6GB/128GB variant, Lenovo’s pricing is on the aggressive side—especially if you consider that they are very close to their pricing in China.

For their suggested price, you get a Snapdragon 710 processor, a triple rear camera setup that includes an ultra-wide-angle camera and telephoto camera, 4050mAh battery 15w USB-C fast charging, and a Full HD+ display. For comparison, the Snapdragon 710-powered Nokia 8.1 has the same price as the 6GB/128GB variant of the Z6 Lite though HMD Global’s offering only has a dual rear camera setup, a smaller battery, and a bigger (and more annoying) notch.
Do you think Lenovo Philippines’s pricing is aggressive enough to go against a saturated and competitive mid-range market?
