Lenovo is [burning up](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/25/idc-iphone-wait-cuts-apple-china-phone-share-by-nearly-half/) the Chinese [smartphone](http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/06/lenovo-k800-benchmark/) market, and it's just announced a new middle-of-the road 4-inch ICS model, the A660, with two twists: dual-SIM slots and a waterproof case. The [IP67 certification](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/15/motorola-defy-leaves-the-gym-coming-this-fall-with-slightly-mo/) and Gorilla Glass also make it dustproof, but apart from that, the device carries pedestrian specs: Android 4.0, 1GHz dual-core processor, 800 x 480 screen and 5-megapixel rear camera. As with other [recent models](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/07/htc-one-s-family-arrives-in-china/) in China aiming down the middle of the road, the A660 boasts several colors, and supports WCDMA + GSM networks with [dual-SIM](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/20/samsung-galaxy-s-duos-official/) / dual-standby capability. There's no word yet on how much or when, but don't start shopping for lime green or burnt orange furniture to match just yet -- few of [Lenovo's smartphones](http://www.engadget.com/tag/lenovo,smartphone) have crossed the Great Wall.
