Lenovo Vibe X2 Front Camera. Lenovo vibe x2 Description, features, user reviews. Lenovo Web X2, powerful android smartphone. Software features and software

Lenovo Vibe X2 - as a sip of fresh air in the world of phones with the same design. Lenovo Vibe smartphone line is positioned as a series of powerful and exquisite smartphones. According to the results of the tests, we can say that Lenovo VIBE X2 fully justifies such a description.

Firstly, this design of the device is thin and lightweight, the puff enclosure immediately attracts attention. Secondly, he has a good ratio of characteristics and prices. For 25,000 rubles. You will receive a bright, five-lone Full HD display with a mode of operation in gloves, a powerful "stuffing", comparable to flagship smartphones and excellent for the "medium" segment of the chamber. You can view high-quality photos and high quality videos on a bright screen. The 8-core processor will allow you to play any modern games, in everyday use, he also showed himself well. Shot on both Lenovo VIBE X2 cameras is not ideal, but quite consistent with the declared pixels.

However, the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone does not have NFC or MHL and OTG support at the USB connector. The volume of the built-in memory is limited to 32 GB, without the ability to expand its memory card. Time of autonomous work can not be called "excellent", it is rather secondary. The quality of the sound of anchor headphones leaves much to be desired.

In general, Lenovo Vibe X2 is a stylish, unusual and powerful smartphone. Despite the disadvantages and for the presence of strong competitors with the same price tag, we can recommend Lenovo Vibe X2 to purchase.

Dimensions - 4.2.

Lenovo Vibe X2 is a stylish and compact 5-inch smartphone. Dimensions of the device 140 × 69 mm, the thickness of the housing in some places up to 7.6 mm. In size, it will be comparable to Huawei Honor 6, but Honor 6 is slightly thicker. Weight VIBE X2 - 121 grams, lighter than 4.7-inch iPhone 6 (128 grams) or 4.6-inch Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (128 grams). As you can already understand, the smartphone is compact and thin. By the way, the camera lens does not stick out of the housing, as it is often found in some popular thin smartphones. Lenovo Vibe X2 is well in hand, but not very comfortable to use one hand.

Lenovo Vibe X2 has an unusual original design. Smartphone as if collected from four panels: the top panel is black, the remaining three layers of multicolored. If you look at the side, then something reminds "Extended" flag of Germany. In general, it looks unusual, the appearance of the smartphone will definitely have to do girls. Today, Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone can be bought in white and gold colors. There are still color options, but in Russia they, at least, are not sold yet. You can buy accessories to the smartphone: Case, Special Speaker and Charging.

The Lenovo Vibe X2 Plastic Case, the build quality is high, but we noticed that it squeezes slightly at a pressure. The back is made of a pleasant to the touch of smooth plastic. By the way, in two weeks of use, it almost did not scratch.

Screen - 4.3.

One of the advantages of Lenovo Vibe X2 is a good five-year display. Display resolution - 1920 × 1080 pixels, high for such a diagonal. The type of matrix - IPS, there is a oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating and protective glass Gorilla Glass 3. Pixel density - 441 per inch, this is enough for a clear image on small fonts and icons.

The maximum display brightness, in our opinion, is low - up to 328 cd / m2. However, if you go to a special "high brightness mode", then you can get 484 cd / m2, which is already very bright. Another thing is that this mode must be sought separately in the settings. The minimum brightness of white at 5 cd / m2, the display will definitely not be loosened in the dark. This is one of the best adjustable brightness ranges. The display has avtuarity, we checked her work - it triggered quickly, but only in the "hard" mode, without being able to adjust the brightness ranges using a slider. In the sun reading from the display it was difficult, but not critical. Display viewing angles are not maximum, but wide enough for comfortable work with a smartphone.

The fatty coating works well. This does not mean that the screen does not fall at all: during the use of the phone, prints remained on the screen, but they appeared not so quickly and erased.

Camera

In the Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone, the main and 5 megapixel front chambers are installed in the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone. The main chamber is equipped with a LED flash, autofocus, HDR mode, face recognition and smiles, with the possibility of shooting panoramas and much more. Compared to Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, there are fewer settings, the camera resolution is also less, but agree, the price tag is much more affordable.

Maximum photo resolution - 4160 × 43120 pixels. The camera removes Full HD video at a speed of 30 frames per second. Audio is written in stereo mode. The camera interface is simple and understandable, you do not have to search for the desired settings for a long time. The quality of photos is good and corresponds to a high number of megapixels. The camera copes with light well and even on frames in the dark is not so much noise. At the same time, in detail and sharpness, it is somewhat inferior to the flagship chambers. In this you can make sure that I looked at the examples of the photo taken on the smartphone. Also in the tests, we did not always work from the first time to focus on the desired object, so we recommend doing a few doubles. It is good that the camera quickly removes.

5 megapixel front camera of the phone is enough for video links, it is freely suitable for selfie. The camera has no autofocus and flashes. But, as we wrote earlier, on CES 2015 Lenovo introduced a special accessory to the phone - a separate flash for selfie Vibe Xtension Selfie Flash. There is no free sale yet, and it does not understand whether. Also, the front camera removes Full HD video at a speed of 30 frames per second.

Working with text - 3.0

To our surprise, the phone uses a standard keyboard from Google. The company redraws the interface, but until I got to the keyboard, even for the flagship Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, the manufacturers did not paint their own keyboard.

In general, the keyboard from Google is good. When typing, you can enjoy continuous input. To switch between languages \u200b\u200bthere is a separate key. On the icons there are no markup of additional characters, only numbers on the top row of the keys. Note that in the "portrait" mode, typing texts with one hand real and quite convenient.

Internet - 3.0

A Google Chrome and Yandex.Browser are preset as browsers on the Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone. The first has support for synchronizing tabs with a desktop version of the browser, the second is the "turbo" mode to quickly download pages, the ability to close the tabs automatically when you exit the browser, etc. If you need read mode or automatic text configuration, you can always Download and install another loved browser. As tests showed, the smartphone copes well with several open tabs, it works quickly and does not "slow down".

Interfaces

In the Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone, there is support for all popular wireless interfaces except NFC and IR port. Separately, we note the presence of a two-way Wi-Fi and high-speed Wi-Fi standard (802.11 AC). The smartphone has a Bluetooth module with A2DP profile support for audio transmission, the ability to work in Russian LTE frequencies (CAT 4 to 150 Mbps), A-GPS and GLONASS.

The only minus is a slow GPS module, he has a long cold start, which is gone a couple of minutes. Otherwise, everything functioned clearly. For a full flagship set, only NFC is missing. The phone is equipped with a slot for micro-SIM cards, a micro-usb connector, but, unfortunately, OTG and MHL are not supported, connect the periphery or transmit via USB high definition video will not work.

Multimedia - 3.0

Multimedia Features Lenovo Vibe X2 can be called average. Smartphone supports common video formats and codecs, loses video in high quality, up to Full HD video. However, in our tests, he could not run, for example, FLV video format. There is no choice of subtitles and audio tracks in the built-in video player, as well as any other settings, except for the list with playback history. The audio player loses popular MP3 and AAC formats, as well as WAV, but does not lose AC3 and FLAC (the latter can be run via the file manager). A standard Play music application is pre-installed on the smartphone, not the most convenient one. Complete to Lenovo Vibe X2 are headphones, but, in our opinion, they have low quality, for such a price I would like the headphones better.

Battery - 2.8.

The Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone is equipped with a capacity of 2300 mAh battery. According to today's standards, the container will not call the big, so the Huawei Honor 6 is 3100 mAh battery, although it is only slightly thicker. Formal capacity - this is not all but the smartphone showed itself in the tests on the battery? The battery was not bad for our tests, the results are comparable to the LG Nexus 5 battery (the same 2300 mAh). Phone Lenovo Vibe X2 reproduced HD video at the maximum brightness of about 6 and a half hours, which is not bad. In listening mode, the music lasted "only" 43 hours. If you compare with Nexus 5, the latter discharged faster in the videoest, but longer in the music player mode.

As for daily use - it was enough for the day "with the tail", but until the end of the day he did not reach it. Note that the smartphone has quite wide "power" settings - emergency mode (only calls and SMS messages are available), disabling applications in sleep mode, saving energy for the screen, etc.

Complete to the smartphone there is a charger at 1.5 A.

Performance - 3.9.

The device uses the MEDIATEK MT6595M True8Core platform, as can be understood from the name, eight-core - four cores of 1.7 GHz and four cores of 2 GHz. The PowerVR G600 corresponds to the graph, the amount of RAM - 2 GB. The performance of a smartphone at the highest level, "filling" - one of the most productive for today, in our tests, she perfectly coped with heavy games and benchmarks. Thanks to the optimization of the shell and powerful "hardware", the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone works quickly, and this applies to both embedded applications and third-party programs. The phone can be viewed as a game platform, in our tests of the game Nova 3, Dead Trigger, Minion Rush and Asphalt 8 loaded quickly and went smoothly even at maximum settings. In daily use, the smartphone worked quickly.

In the benchmarks, the Smartphone Lenovo Vibe X2 showed high, flagship results. In AnTutu Benchmark, he received points comparable to Sony Xpeira Z3 Compact, - 45,400 points, and Ice Storm Unlimited from 3DMark is a little lower - on average 12243 points.

Memory - 2.5

The volume of the built-in memory at the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone is 32 GB, of which approximately 26.2 GB is available to the user - most users will have enough of this amount of memory. As with many smartphones of the line, the memory card slot is not provided and this is a significant minus of the phone.

Features

Smartphone Lenovo Vibe X2 works under Android 4.4.2 OS and a branded shell from Lenovo. The manufacturer plans to update OS to Android Lollipop in mid-2015. The appearance of the system interface is changed, the dialer was redrawn, replaced the launcher, etc. A little unusual that there is no separate menu with a list of all applications. Also, the smartphone has separate "special" settings, where a lot of interesting things are hidden. For example, the output of the "Smart Menu" button with quick access to a number of applications, "Awakening" display using a double touch, a gesture to start the camera and much more.

The main feature of the smartphone is an unusual design. Due to the thin puff enclosure of Lenovo Vibe X2, it looks fresh and unusual. Also among features, let's call support for high-speed Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, LTE, work mode in gloves.

Competitors

In February 2015, the average price for Lenovo Vibe X2 is approx. 25,000 rubles, by the way, the initially recommended price was 15,000 rubles. Smartphone price, characteristics and diagonal of 5 inches look like Huawei Honor 6 or LG Nexus 5.

All three smartphones are made of plastic and qualitatively assembled. Only Honor 6 is covered with glass - it looks stylish, but glass slides and doomed to collect small scratches. Thinnight turned out to be VIBE X2, in short and already - Nexus 5. The most unusual appearance was at Lenovo Vibe X2, while Honor 6 looks, in our opinion, isless, and Nexus 5 is like a typical LG smartphone.

According to the "stuffing", all three smartphones are approximately the same, although the "filling" of Nexus is older, but from Qualcomm. On VIBE X2, one of the top chipsets is MediaTek, and Huawei has its own KIRIN 920 and 3 GB of RAM. Lenovo Vibe X2 showed the best results in games and tests. However, with daily use, you are unlikely to notice the difference between smartphones.

Nexus 5 cameras are a little behind, and two others can be said, parity. Displays of all three smartphones are similar, but Nexus 5 has no mode of operation in gloves. By the time of autonomous work with a margin leads Huawei Honor 6, but this could be expected, based on the specifications. The volume of built-in memory from Lenovo VIBE X2 is 32 GB, which is enough for most users. Nexus 5 is a choice of 16 or 32 GB, and Huawei Honor is 6 less, 16 GB, but there is a memory card slot.

Most likely, the core selection criterion can be the appearance, design of models. If you want Android 5.0 and fast updates - it is better to buy LG Nexus 5; If you need a powerful "filling" and an unusual appearance - Lenovo VIBE X2; If you need a "long-playing" battery and a memory card slot - Huawei Honor 6.

The Lenovo manufacturer tightly settled on the mobile device market. The range of gadgets is replenished with new models of different price segments. In this review, we are talking about Lenovo Vibe X2 (Update VIBE X), as well as we will talk about the differences between Lenovo Waib X2 and X2 Pro.

Design

The body is several layers, whose boundaries are clearly noticeable, which is a business card of this gadget. Each layer differs in color decoration. The buyer can choose between White, Black and Red Versions of the Smartphone. The phone is convenient to hold in hand. The front panel is covered with special protective glass.

Front is the front camera, speaker and three touch buttons. Rear have a basic camera, flash. Upstairs there is a headphone outlet, and from the bottom of the microUSB output.

On the right side there is a power button and volume rocker. On the left side is a slot for a microsim card.

Display

The 5-inch IPS display of the smartphone has an HD resolution of 1920 × 1080. Even with bright light, working with the phone will be comfortable thanks to anti-reflective coating. The screen has a good brightness stock and transfers color well. In general, the display is excellent for performing various everyday tasks.

Cameras

Lenovo VIBE X2 has a main chamber at 13 megapixel and front-line 5 megapixel. The quality of images of the main chamber is good enough. Video is written in HD format.

Hardware and software

The MEDIATEK MT6595M processor with 8 cores with 2 GB of RAM is responsible for the performance of the smartphone. You can run demanding games on the phone, which is an undoubted advantage. 32 GB of memory is assigned to data storage, it will not be possible to expand this volume due to the lack of a slot for microSD cards.

The phone works on Android 4.4.2 with the VIBE UI sheath. Some steep widgets and options appeared in the interface. Application icons can be organized using folders directly on the desktop.

Autonomy

LENOVO VIBE X2 is equipped with a capacity of 2300 mAh battery. This is relatively small, given the cost of the device. The review showed that the autonomy indicators of the smartphone are not too high. In the maximum load mode, the gadget lasted only 2.5 hours. With moderate use without recharging, the phone will last about 6 hours. Watch the video will be just over 4 hours.

Comparison with VIBE X2 Pro

If you briefly describe the X2 Pro model, it can be said that it is slightly enlarged VIBE X2 with two 13 MP cameras, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor and a 5.3-inch display. The main differences in the models are presented in the table.

Conclusions:

Lenovo Waib X2 and Vibe X2 Pro are very interesting middle class representatives. They are distinguished by an unusual design, a good display, steep stuffing. The only minus is low autonomy. If you choose between these two models, it is better to take Pro, as you can expand flash memory up to 128 GB by microSD card.

Lenovo managed to become the first manufacturer of computers in the world, and now actively lead expansion to the smartphone market. On VIBE X2, the manufacturer places its special hopes. Here is a high-resolution screen, a powerful processor, screaming design - in general, the rate is justified. Let's look more in more detail that we can offer this smartphone.

Equipment

The box from the device is a separate conversation. It is small, multi-layered and something resembles a casket. From the side you can detect a protruding ribbon. Pulled out for her, pulled out the first boxes with a beautifully laid apparatus. Pulled for the second - pulled out accessories.

By the way, in addition to the usual MicroUSB cable and the supply unit 5B and 1,5A there is a protective film, as well as a transparent glossy Crystal Case Case. In general, the manufacturer of the user thought.

Design

I could not be in vain vibe x2 smartphone-sandwich. At its base, it has a multi-layered design and looks really interesting, I would even say, stylish. For some, it may be disappointment, but the smartphone is entirely made of plastic. Metal is not here at all. Nevertheless, when you take the device in hand, you forget about this moment. Plastic here does not shout about savings, as often happens from other manufacturers. This is especially sinned by one Korean electronics production giant. Well, you know what I mean.

Here the colors are bright, and the surface is pleasant to the touch. In addition, the use of polymer materials led to weight loss. In fact, for a five-fashioned smartphone 120 grams - it is very few. The device is light, but the lack of passionism does not spoil the impression.

From the end it is clear that three components are used, which are connected in one. All of them are flush. However, the glass panel from the front side is slightly smaller in the area, respectively looks like a mansion.

Over the screen there is a spoken speaker grid, front camera, approximation and illumination sensors. Where without them?

From the bottom there are devices control buttons. They are sensory and highlighted in the dark by the lunar light. Plus, they do not take away the display space. Minus lies in their strange form. There is no usual house and other designations. People who are accustomed to some other Android`U, the first few days will have to get used to the presentation by identifying that it means each of the keys.

On the right side there are beautifully polished buttons for on and adjusting the volume.

The left line is occupied only by a tray under the SIM card. By the way, it is made of metal and looks quite massively.

From above there is an audio output under the headphones 3.5 mm, and below the tiny hole of the microphone and the port of MicroUSB. There is no infrared sensor, no NFC module, support for memory cards and OTG protocol is also absent. Not rich equipment, but it could be better.

The back cover is a little overflowing with pearl color. It looks very elegant. In the center there is a branded designation, and closer to the upper edge is the camera, a single-section flash and a hole for the rear microphone.

At the bottom there is a net of dynamics. The design is not the most successful, since the sound is decently drowned on a flat surface when the smartphone lies face down. Nearby is the platform of contacts for connecting a special case with the built-in battery.

Now about ergonomics. You can print messages, flipping the browser pages - in most cases there is enough one hand for this. Dimensions allow.

By the way, it will be interesting to compare the smartphone with its main competitors on these parameters:

	Length	Width	Thickness	Weight
Lenovo vibe x2.	140,2	68,6	7,27
SAMSUNG GALAXY ALPHA.	132,4	65,5
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact		64,9
Huawei Ascend P7
Apple iPhone 5S.	123,8	58,6

Regarding the design and convenience, you can make the following conclusion. Lenovo VIBE X2 is very convenient in everyday use, has a high-quality body, at least made of plastic, as well as a pleasant design. In our areas with protracted winters, such bright colors will look very appropriate. By the way, the following colors are available on sale:

Display smartphone

On the front side, the Gorilla Glass glass panel is installed (the generation is not specified) with the oleophobic coating.

The 5-inch screen plays a decisive role in favor of usability, and Full HD permission is not suitable for such a diagonal.

The density of pixels per square inch is 441 PPI. This is more than enough.

The QuadHD installation for such dimensions is not justified. Separate pixels see the unarmed look you will not succeed.

In the photo below, you can compare VIBE X2 displays (at the top) with iPhone 5S:

The color rendition is good, good is used IPS matrix. When tilting the situation remains the same - fading does not occur, however, in comparison with the apple device, a small care is visible in greenish shades.

Unhappy with the standard range, can choose other display parameters from pre-installed profiles or play yourself with the slider, moving it from the warm tones to the colder.

The Clearmotion function is present in the menu, the essence of which is that the chipset during video viewing increases the frequency frames of the roller to 60, thereby ensuring its smooth playback. Indeed, the video on the screen of the smartphone at the expense of this chip looks very vividly!

The manufacturer decided to set a solution from MediaTek under the MT6595M index. Let's focus on this body in more detail.

Firstly, this chip is unique in that all kernels can work simultaneously: 4 of them ARM Cortex-A7, operate at 1.7 GHz, and 4 other ARM Cortex-A17, in this case are used at 2.0 GHz . The scheme of the processor varies depending on the task.

Of course, the power consumption of the battery is not forgotten. If necessary, the system reduces the maximum frequency in favor of the reasonable use of battery resources and the absence of overheating. That is why the Chinese smartphone has a limited frequency processor version on board. This indicates the letter "M" in the model index.

The graphic processes are replied by the PowerVR G6200MP4 video chip, the frequency of which is again reduced to 400 MHz instead of the maximum possible 600. Again, the savings of the battery resources.

By the way, the support of LTE answers the same processor, not a separate chip. Cat.4 is used, but this is quite enough for our today's realities.

Upset only the absence of NFC and the ability to connect flash drives in USB-Host mode.

Yes, despite the fact that OTG support was stated on other information resources, this is still not there. Thus, with the exception of some little things specifications Lenovo VIBE X2 impressive with their innovation. Product from MediaTek, I am sure, will provide a smartphone for a long life among topical devices for the next couple of years.

Performance

Let's look at the test results.

In general, the brains of the phone provide him with very serious performance, at the level of the flagships of this, and the beginning of the next year.

We have already talked about the processor and other components. Their resources are enough for the absolute majority of tasks, including heavy toys. And now let's talk about the behavior of the system as a whole.

The Lenovo Launcher shell is largely good. Working tables and animation flush effectively. However, some stocks occur periodically. That button "Back" will not work immediately, the screen unlock icon will stop responding to pressing, and there is no multitasking mode, no, so thinks for a couple of seconds - it will be necessary to encounter it. This is not annoying, but it comes across regularly.

As for the launch of applications, there are no problems here. All quickly, errors and random application departures I did not notice.

Front-camera

The front photo module has 5 meters, and the frames have a resolution of 2560 x 1440 points. Photo quality is very good.

Different techniques for creating pictures are available: shooting touch, voice, timer, waving hands or blinking eyes. The last two work far from the first time. Maybe I just blink somehow unworthy. Difficult to answer.

Of course, there is no LED flash on the front panel, such as Sony Xperia C3, but there is a function of filling the viewfinder with pink or yellow. In the dark it is still better than nothing.

Lenovo vibe x2 camera

The main photo module is able to create frames with a resolution of 4096 x 2304 pixels - it is 13 meters. The most interesting thing is that there is no possibility of selecting a specific resolution in the settings. The user may select only the aspect ratio: 16: 9, 4: 3 or one to one.

Perhaps this is the right approach. Ask yourself how often do you prefer, for example, photo 1280 x 720 Points to higher resolution? Personally, I never. I always need the highest quality from the available.

Frames are good. Color reproduction, sharpness, blur background - everything is very decent.

The camera, of course, is not the best possible, but it is very good for the price of the apparatus. Usually, at this point, manufacturers save, they did not go to Lenovo.

The only negative point is shot at night. It gets around all the flaws and nuances.

Autofocus often wipes, and pictures are fuzzy. In general, night shooting is a weak phone.

As an example, I led to a composite image with various ISO settings. The conditions were such: the dark room, the smartphone is fixed on the tripod, the subject of shooting is still motionless and smiles.

Videos can be written in Full HD resolution. The record is smooth, without twigs. However, if the surrounding light is not enough, then the video looks sad. We look an example.

Battery

The smartphone has a lithium-polymer battery capacity of 2300 mAh. With moderate use of all the functions of the device: two hours of surfing through Wi-Fi and LTE, half an hour of using other programs, creating a dozen photos - the device is not able to live to night.

With a fully charged battery in the morning, in the evening there will be most likely no more than 10 percent. Work time for X2 is a sore theme.

The problem lies in the display with a large resolution and a powerful processor. The battery capacity (cost without records) lacks for the work of these main energy eaters for a period of more than a day. Of course, if you do not touch the device at all, it can live 4 days, and maybe more, but such a smartphone is usually bought not behind it.

If you actively play modern 3D-toys, then the device will sit down in a matter of hours. Obviously you should not leave away from the outlet if you like to play.

In the settings you can activate the energy saving profile. In this case, the device turns into a dialer with the alarm function. The savings of the charge is not colossal, but still.

Sound

Complete headset is useful except for answers to calls. The quality of the sound through it can only be unreleased users. For everyone else, it makes sense to use its usual headphones.

There is no branded program for playing audio files. You can download something to your liking from the application store or stay on Play Music from Google.

I tested the quality of audio playback through this utility and with your old-kind Koss Porta Pro. The sound quality is comparable to Apple iPhone 5S, both frequencies and volume.

Overview of software features

All applications are right on the desktops. They are installed and removed directly from here. Of course, you can resort to the help of the software dispatcher, but for most cases it is not needed.

Working tables are fully configured. You can choose different design themes, set your wallpaper, create folders - everything is as always.

Special thanks want to express the developers for the themes. The ability to install your favorite shell right out of the box is not an excessive way to customization of the appearance for the user. Plus lies in the fact that all these actions are safe than installing and running third-party topics that may be incompatible with the system. It is a pity that the choice is limited only by six default shells.

I sincerely do not like when the manufacturer tries to impose the use of some programs to the user. Previously, it was the problem of almost all laptops, and now the trend applies to mobile devices.

So, by default, the "extremely necessary" antivirus called Security is installed and launched.

It successfully cuts suspicious activity, including various notifications from Viber and other desired applications. Delete this program with standard means is impossible. I stopped all the processes related to this antivirus and stopped fighting the utility.

Usually, Google sins with such behavior, which requires manufacturers to place its brand store in the most prominent place. I am convinced that the developers do not need to connect to these playing! Here is a thin face where to overdo it - means lose the loyalty of fans.

Return to our topic. Additional chips are provided that simplify communication with the phone. So, you can wake the screen or send it to sleep mode by double touch. It's comfortable!

In addition, right from the sleep mode double tap on the Home icon, you can take a picture. Useful chip, when you need to remove the photo very quickly and there is no time for the usual start of the photo image.

But the gesture of the startup photo show, when you just need to raise the phone in a horizontal orientation, I never worked for me. Maybe I did something wrong.

In addition, the audio profiles are configured depending on the time of day. For example, from 9 am, the vibration is activated, and from 19:00 already a full volume of calls. The inclusion of Wi-Fi can be tied to the location and so on. This, of course, is not breakthrough settings, but it is good that the manufacturer so cares about its consumers.

Will Lenovo VIBE X2?

At the moment they ask for a smartphone priceat 16 990 19,990 rubles. This is a very interesting offer! And that's what a potential buyer can get for this money:

great bright design
powerful and modern filling
quality Full HD Display
good camera

However, we will have to come to terms with a low level of autonomy of the smartphone and places in a potent system.

At the expense of the latter, I most likely come fire. Small interface brakes are not some serious disadvantage. Their little, and the frequency of updates of firmware gives hope for the full optimization of software in the near future. But a weak battery is a truly nuance that needs to be considered when buying.

Nevertheless, I believe that Lenovo Vibe X2 is a good acquisition. Few of competitors can offer so many high-quality components in one device, and even for such money. Against the background of all the advantages of the device, one day of work from the battery is what you can live with. Only hurry, the cost of the smartphone can change very soon.

Powerful, stylish, modern - this is how it is possible to characterize one of the flagships of 2014, the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone. Since the presentation, the device will conquered the hearts of many connoisseurs of stylish gadgets and to this day remains one of the desired smartphones, although not devastations are not devoid. But everything is in order ...

Equipment

Despite the premium segment, the box package is quite common: smartphone itself, headphones, charger, microUSB cable, clipboard for removing the slot under the SIM card and the documentation set. Depending on the store, the equipment can be expanded with a protective film and a protective cover.

Lenovo Waib X2 is an excellent choice for those who do not plan to keep on the device a whole archive of films and many "heavy" toys, although any of them will easily start and will work efficiently on this device.

Probably the first years of Lenovo's work (this is a Chinese manufacturer if someone did not know until today) can be called the most real running. In this case, the smartphone market has become a landfill for a company where regular tests of new devices were conducted. What did it show? At first, the Chinese manufacturer supplied to cellular salons is not particularly expensive devices. However, at certain moments of the sequence of inexpensive models, so to speak, diluted with top smartphones with an appropriate value. But such moves were quite justified.

Introduction

On the territory of the Russian Federation, Lenovo has already managed to prove it quite well as a reliable supplier of mobile equipment, tablet computers and laptops. And every year the position of the Chinese manufacturer is only strengthened. Probably there are practical foundations for this. However, our current goal is not to give the characteristics of the company, but to deal with it, which is its brainchild under the name Lenovo Vibe X2, the price of which is currently about 15 thousand rubles.

History

It is remembered that the company's real shift was the sale of the flagship under the name K900. This is in relation to sales in the Russian Federation. In this regard, it may arise a completely natural question: "And why exactly then?". The answer is very and very simple, if you think about a minute. The thing is that at that time the corresponding model has been truly topical characteristics, which bowed to the side of the Chinese manufacturer, in a view of specialists, an audience.

At the same time, the device possessed not that completely unique, but an attractive design that many future device buyers appreciated. Recall that the main parameter that had an influence was the body of the phone, made fine, high-quality and metal. Not the last role was played by the price of the device. Thus, the Chinese firm managed to make significant success in terms of promotion on the market, being heard from many new people.

After k900, some more good manufacturer devices came to the smartphone market. But the most real leader among them was the model under the name VIBE X. Actually, the dominance of this unit over other products of the ruler and marked the beginning of the modification of the old (or the development of a new) device. Probably, Vibe X can be called a visual example of what the Chinese manufacturer is capable of working in, and that it can offer potential buyers from smartphones.

That's it precisely in such an environment, the development of Lenovo Vibe X2 was carried out with such preliminary positioning, the price of which falls into the interval from 13 to 15 thousand rubles at the moment. To speak in general terms, it is nothing but a middle class smartphone. The parameters of it (and refers to the hardware filling - from the processor to the camera) are not fantastic, but quite impressive, especially with regard to the cost of the apparatus. The device has a universal design. Why did the Chinese decide to do so? Probably versatility should have helped to avoid a large number of negative reviews. After all, never guess who will like it. And versatility - she and in Africa universality.

A couple of words about the value of Lenovo Vibe in the article you may notice the mention that the price of the smartphone is not so big. It is in mind that this is the real position of the device in the smartphone market. At the very beginning of sales, the cost of the device did not match it for buyers. However, now we can talk about what everything stirred up, and the device is put up for sale at an adequate price. In general, the basis of positioning Lenovo Vibe X2 LTE is as time as the ratio of "price / quality".

Brief specifications. Software

First of all, we note the operating system. On board Lenovo Vibe X2 Gold, we have installed the OS android family. To speak more specifically, this is version 4.4 "Kiqat". But some companies do not stop on the use of ordinary operating systems. It was and in the case of HTC. The Chinese company decided not to lag behind Thais and developed a custom shell called Vibe UI, which he gave birth to Lenovo Vibe X2 Gold.

cellular

The device works in GSM networks, the operation is supported by HSDPA +. But it was especially pleased (but for such a cost it is clear), this is the possibility of transmission of data in the fourth-generation networks, which is ensured by the use of the LTE hardware module. Thus, the owner of the phone will be able to surf on the Internet at high speed, open web pages faster and download video, as well as other media files.

CPU

As a chipset, we have a MEDIATEK device in this case, this is the MT6595M model. The processor works with eight nuclei, the maximum clock frequency can reach two gigahertz. Very and very good for such a device for the relevant cost. The role of the graphic subsystem is PowerVR G600. Two gigabytes of RAM are built into the smartphone, which is more than enough for 90 percent of games and applications. It is possible to successfully use the phone in multifunctional mode and open multiple programs at the same time. At the same time, the operating system works smoothly and clearly, without any hints for failures.

Memory

To store user data (i.e. text documents, music, photos, video clips and films, as well as games and applications) there are 32 gigabytes of long-term memory. However, one of the disadvantages, even with such a volume, can be called the absence of a slot in which you could install a memory card. It is simply no no. Apparently, the Chinese manufacturer decided that for the average user 32 gigabyte is enough for life. Bad, yes, and what to do? Well, in the meantime, we go further.

Wireless modules

Phone Lenovo VIBE X2, which is presented in this article, works with Wi-Fi wireless modules (in the B, G, N range networks, and Bluetooth (version 4.1). At the same time there is a port for synchronization with a personal computer or laptop. The same socket is used to charge the device. This is, of course, about the port of the MicroUSB standard. You can (and you need to use the FM radio) to connect a wired stereo header. It can be used in the case of multimedia data.

Display

Lenovo Vibe X2 phone, whose overview rapidly had an international network, equipped with a screen, whose diagonal is 5 inches. The display matrix is \u200b\u200bmade using IPS technology, which means that the load on the eye of the owner of the phone during its operation will be reduced to the minimum value. Very good work technology is noticeable when the backlight is the least active. Well, or with the night reading of e-books from the device screen. The picture is displayed on the display in the resolution of Full HD. Density of points - 441 pixel per inch. There is a function of automatic adjustment of the backlight level by using the corresponding sensor.

Cameras

The smartphone about which we will give at the end of this article, has two cameras. The main one has a resolution of 13 megapixels, and due to this it gives out stunning snapshots of objects. Is it worth something to talk about writing a video when her help? Is that permission to be 1080 pixels. The front camera is perfect for lovers of Selfie pictures. This is a 5 megapixel device. The main chamber is equipped with the function of automatic focus on the object, as well as the flash of the LED type.

Satellites

Navigation in space is carried out at the expense of GPS technology, there is also a module that allows you to perfect accurately to obtain data on finding a satellite map. Thus, the Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone, the reviews about which give a positive assessment to the device, can be used as a navigator on a trip by car.

Sensors

In addition, I would like to note the presence of an accelerometer that is useful in some games. There is a necessary set of sensors. It includes an approximation sensor that includes and disconnects the screen backlight with a telephone conversation, as well as a regulatory display level of the display depending on external light manifestations.

Autonomous work

As a battery, a lithium-polymer battery is built into the device, the container of which is 2,300 mAh. Not so much, but even a lot. Although energy will be spent, as they say, from the soul. And there is no doubt about it. Especially with the specific features of the Android operating system. In completion, we note that the size of the phone in the three-dimensional space has the following parameters: in height 140.2, in width - 68.6, and in thickness - 7.3 millimeters. In this case, the mass of the device is recordly lowered to only 120 grams.

Conclusion and reviews

Among the benefits of the device is a good quality of cellular operation, as well as other wireless modules. Wi-Fi takes a signal freely, effortlessly. The cell network does not disappear. And what else can you expect from a smartphone for 15 thousand rubles, which is equipped with LTE technology? Not bad volume of spoken speaker. There is stock. The question of the interlocutor from that end of the wire comes high quality, purely and distinctly. In general, the expected plusion. The same applies to the vibrating alert. Do not notice it will be difficult.

Among the expected logical disadvantages, we first and foremost - the battery life. Yes, in principle, 2,300 mAh is not so little. But obviously not for those who buy a smartphone in the hope of using it (with such characteristics!) On the full coil, non-stop, all day. In this case, the only resolution of the issue will be the purchase of an additional external battery, say, per 10000 A. It will allow you to charge the phone completely at least twice. And this is in the absence of an electrical network. The second minus is the lack of a slot under the memory card. Although we hope that the built-in 32 gigabytes for the owners of the phone still enough.
