Hasta La Gadget!

Lenovo might be big on Ultrabooks, notebooks and desktops, but one particular segment of the market that they are clearly looking into would be the world of smartphones.

In fact, the Lenovo Vibe X has just been officially announced, making it the most recent member of Lenovo’s premium smartphone portfolio, where it will boast of twin camera technology as well as an “amazingly brilliant display”, all crammed into a sleek form factor. The body of the Lenovo Vibe X smartphone would arrive encased in style with a premium polycarbonate body alongside an advanced mold, laser-engraved 3D tactile finish.

Measuring a mere 6.9mm thin, it would tip the scales at a mere 121 grams, and if need to get a handle on how heavy (or light) that would be, we are talking about just five AA batteries thereabouts. It also comes with a 5” Full HD resolution IPS panel at 440ppi pixel density, where it remains under a scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen that is beveled at the edges.

Apart from that, there is also a 5-megapixel front-facing camera to accompany the 13-megapixel auto-focus rear-facing camera, accompanied by Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice, a quad-core 1.5GHz MTK 6589T processor, 2GB RAM, and 16GB of internal memory. It remains to be seen just how much it will cost when it is released.

Lenovo is extending its line of laptop that are capable of “flexing”, which means that it can open at an angle of 300 degrees to feature a view mode that uses the keyboard as a stand for the display. This can be great for presentations or touch-only modes where you need to have the full attention of a colleague or a customer.   (more…)

This week the folks at Lenovo have introduced the Vibe X smartphone, a next-generation solution that takes what they introduced with last year’s K900 and gives it a full 2013 makeover. This device works with top-tier specifications like a 5-inch “20/20 Vision” IPS LCD display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution – that’s Full HD […]

While Lenovo’s Snapdragon 800-powered phone has yet to make an official appearance, the Chinese company’s gone ahead and unveiled its other quad-core flagship device: the Vibe X aka IdeaPhone S960. Much like most of its recent siblings, this Android 4.2 slate is powered by a MediaTek SoC — the quad-core 1.5GHz MT6589T, specifically, with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage. There’s also a 5-inch 1080p IPS display and a 2,000mAh internal battery, along with a 5-megapixel, 84-degree front-facing camera plus a 13-megapixel main imager on the back. As you’d expect, the camera app will come with face enhancement features for your bad skin days, and Lenovo also teases a “full-featured” photo app that lets you organize your photos (with tags and folders), as well as making puzzles with them.

Thanks to Gorilla Glass 3 and the “premium polycarbonate body” (with “fabric-like surface” and side chrome accents), the overall package weighs 121g only and is just 6.9mm thick — the same thickness as the slightly larger but metallic, Intel-powered K900. Also, while the Vivo X3 with the same MediaTek chip and battery capacity is way thinner at 5.75mm (sorry, Huawei!), do bear in mind that its 5-inch display only has a 720p resolution.

There’s no price nor a date just yet, but as with most Lenovo phones these days, we’ve been told that the Vibe X will not be entering either Europe or the US. As the Chinese saying goes: you can quench thirst by thinking of the plums. By “plums” we mean the press release and our first impressions after the break. %Gallery-slideshow79651% %Gallery-slideshow79657%
