Lenovo’s S860 Finally Available in India With Massive 4,000 mAh Battery
While the S860 might have been announced all the way back at Mobile World Congress, it’s only finally becoming available in India. The MT6582 at the heart of the device is known for batter efficiency, but the 4,000 mAh battery will make sure you get a full day out of this one. It’s a shame that the 5.3-inch display only has a resolution of 1280 x 720, but if it’s in the name of keeping battery life high then so be it. Available in India from RS 21,500, the S860 is a dual-SIM capable device as well.

Sony’s Xperia Z2 to Launch in India Come May 8th
According to the Economic Times, Sony might be ready to launch the Xperia Z2 in India very shortly.

Nevertheless, keep your eyes peeled for more information on an Indian launch.
