As part of an agreement signed with Redmond, Lenovo will release some of its future Android devices with pre-installed Microsoft Office, Skype, and Onedrive.

Companies did not reveal which devices will have applications.

"At Microsoft we are excited that our productivity apps will be pre-installed on Lenovo devices," said Nick Parker, corporate vice president of Microsoft's OEM Division.

"The marriage of Microsoft applications and Lenovo Android devices will allow customers around the world to be more productive, more connected to achieve even more."
