Lenovo has posted a fresh teaser on Weibo that hints at the design of its upcoming Lenovo smartphone series. The three teaser images reveal a rear camera setup, a hole-punch display, and a side button, pointing to new models built to challenge the recently launched Redmi Note 9 phones in China. Lenovo has not confirmed a launch date.
What the Lenovo smartphone series teaser shows
According to the Weibo post, the new series will offer an enhanced camera setup, a bigger display, and a convenient design. The company is positioning these phones against homegrown rival Xiaomi, which recently rolled out its new Redmi Note 9 lineup.
The teaser carries three images that together sketch out the hardware. The first highlights a square-shaped rear camera module that appears to hold three sensors alongside an LED flash. The same image also suggests the phone keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack.

- A 3.5mm headphone jack on the body.
- A hole-punch display at the front.
- A side view showing a physical button.
How it compares to Xiaomi
The square camera layout echoes existing models from Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi, including the Redmi 9 and the 4G-enabled Redmi Note 9 Pro, both of which use a similar square-shaped camera setup. You can follow more updates on the Lenovo category page.
A possible dedicated assistant button
One image shows the side of the device with a physical button. This could be used to launch the phone's preloaded digital assistant. Many vendors now include a dedicated Google Assistant hotkey, and Lenovo may follow that trend with an assistant button of its own.
For now, key details remain under wraps. Lenovo has not confirmed the name of the series, and the launch date is still to be announced. The company did release an earlier teaser image last week that suggested three new phones are on the way.
