Barcelona, Spain – Lenovo unveiled its first pocket projector and a smartphone said to be the world’s first with Dolby Atmos surround decoding.
Only the pocket projector, however, is coming to the U.S.

It features stereo speakers and delivers up to 2.5 hours of multimedia streaming on its battery. It also features 32GB microSD card slot. Its 50-lumen, high-contrast optical engine auto-corrects image distortion.
The Atmos-equipped phone is the $169 A7000 with Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, 5.5-inch 1280 by 720 HD display, LTE, MediaTek 1.5GHz octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage, 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera, 5-megapixel fixed-focus front camera, and 2900mAh replaceable battery.
