Lenovo Vibe X2 mobile phone: description, features and reviews

Probably, the first years of Lenovo (it's a Chinese manufacturer, if someone did not know until today) can be called the most that neither is a real obkatkoy. In this case, the smartphone market has become a testing ground for the company, where constant testing of new devices was conducted. In what way was this manifested? At first, the Chinese manufacturer supplied not very expensive devices to the cellular communication salons. Nevertheless, at certain moments of the sequence of inexpensive models, so to speak, were diluted with top-end smartphones with an appropriate cost. But such moves were fully justified.

Introduction

On the territory of the Russian Federation, Lenovo has already proved itself quite well as a reliable supplier of mobile equipment, tablet computers and laptops. And with each year the position of the Chinese manufacturer only strengthens. Probably, for this there are practical reasons. However, our current goal is not to give a description of the company, but to understand what is its child under the name Lenovo Vibe X2, the price for which currently stands at about 15 thousand rubles.

History

I remember that the real shift of the company was the sale of the flagship under the name K900. This is applicable in relation to sales in the territory of the Russian Federation. In this connection, a completely legitimate question may arise: "Why then?". The answer is very, very simple, if you think for a minute. The thing is that at that time the corresponding model had really top-end characteristics, which inclined to the side of the Chinese manufacturer considerable, according to experts, the audience.

At the same time, the device did not possess a completely unique, but attractive design, which many future buyers of the device appreciated. Recall that the main parameter that has had an impact on this is the phone casing made thinly, qualitatively and from metal. Not the least role was played by the price of the device. Thus, the Chinese company managed to make significant progress in terms of promoting the market, being heard by many new people.

After the K900 on the smartphone market came out a few more good device manufacturer. But the most real leader among them was the model named Vibe X. Actually, the dominance of this device over other products of the lineup also initiated the modification of the old (or development of a new) device. Probably, Vibe X can be called a vivid example of the way the Chinese manufacturer can work, and what it can offer from smartphones to potential buyers.

That's it in this situation, with such a prior positioning was developing the Lenovo Vibe X2, the price of which falls in the interval of 13 to 15 thousand rubles at the moment. Speaking in general terms, this is nothing more than a smartphone of the middle class. Its parameters (and the hardware stuffing - from the processor to the camera) are not fantastic, but they are quite impressive, especially considering the cost of the device. The device has a universal design. Why did the Chinese decide to do this? Probably, universality should help to avoid a lot of negative reviews. After all, you never guess who will like it. And universality - it is in Africa universality.

A few more words about the cost of Lenovo Vibe X2 LTE. In the article you can notice the mention that the price of a smartphone is not that big. This refers to the actual position of the device on the smartphone market. At the very beginning of sales, the cost of the device did not match its technical proposals for buyers. However, now we can say that everything has settled, and the device is put up for sale at an adequate price. In general, the basis for positioning Lenovo Vibe X2 LTE is just the same ratio of "price / quality."

Brief specifications. Software

First of all, let's note the operating system. On board the Lenovo Vibe X2 Gold we have the OS of the "Android" family. More specifically, this is version 4.4 of KitKat. But some companies do not stop at using ordinary operating systems. This was the case with HTC. The Chinese company decided to keep up with the Thais and developed a custom shell called Vibe UI, which was implanted in the phone Lenovo Vibe X2 Gold.

cellular

The device works in GSM networks, the work of HSDPA + is supported. But what is particularly gratifying (but for this and that cost is understandable), is the possibility of data transmission in the networks of the fourth generation, which is provided by the use of a hardware module LTE. Thus, the owner of the phone can surf the Internet at increased speed, faster open web pages and download video, as well as other media files.

CPU

As a chipset, in this case we have the device of the company MediaTek, this is the model MT6595m. The processor works with eight cores, the maximum clock speed can reach two gigahertz. Very, very good for such a device for the corresponding cost. The role of the graphics subsystem is the PowerVR G600. The smartphone has two gigabytes of RAM, which is more than enough for 90 percent of games and applications. You can successfully use the phone in multifunction mode and open several programs at the same time. At the same time, the operating system runs smoothly and clearly, without any hints of failure.

Memory

To store user data (i.e. text documents, music, photos, video clips and movies, and games and applications), the phone has 32 gigabytes of long-term memory. However, one of the drawbacks, even with such a volume, is the absence of a slot in which a memory card could be installed. He is simply absent. Apparently, the Chinese manufacturer decided that for the average user 32 gigabytes is enough for life. Bad, yes, but what can you do? Well, we meanwhile go further.

Wireless Modules

The Lenovo Vibe X2 phone, the review of which is presented in this article, works with wireless Wi-Fi modules (in the networks of the range b, g, n), as well as Bluetooth (version 4.1). In this case, there is a port for synchronization with a personal computer or laptop. This same slot is used to charge the device. It is, of course, the port of the standard MicroUSB. You can connect a wired stereo headset to the smartphone (and, if you use FM radio, it's necessary). It can also be used when playing multimedia data.

Display

Phone Lenovo Vibe X2, whose review quickly flew around the international network, equipped with a screen, the diagonal of which is 5 inches. The display matrix is made using IPS technology, which means that the load on the eyes of the owner of the phone during its operation will be reduced to the minimum value. Very good technology work is noticeable when the backlight is the least active. Well, or at night reading e-books from the device screen. The picture is displayed in the Full HD resolution. The density of the dots is 441 pixels per inch. There is a function of automatic adjustment of the backlight level due to the use of an appropriate sensor.

Cameras

The Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone , reviewed at the end of this article, has two cameras. The main one has a resolution of 13 megapixels, and thanks to this gives amazing images of objects. Is there anything else to say about recording a video with her help? Is that the resolution will be 1080 pixels. The front camera is perfect for lovers of pictures of Selfie. This is a 5-megapixel device. The main camera is equipped with an auto focus function on the subject, as well as a flash type LED.

Satellites

Navigation in space is carried out by means of GPS technology, there is also a GLONASS module . This allows you to accurately receive data on the location on a satellite map. Thus, the smartphone Lenovo Vibe X2, reviews of which give a positive evaluation of the device, you can use as a navigator on a trip by car.

Sensors

In addition, I would like to note the presence of an accelerometer, which is useful in some games. There is a necessary set of sensors. It includes an approach sensor that turns the screen backlight on and off during a telephone conversation, and also a light sensor that regulates the level of illumination of the display depending on external light manifestations.

Autonomous work

As a battery, the device has a built-in lithium-polymer battery, the capacity of which is 2,300 mAh. Not so much, but quite a lot. Although the energy will be spent, as they say, from the heart. And there is no doubt about that. Especially taking into account the specific features of the operating system of the "Android" family. In conclusion, we note that the dimensions of the phone in three-dimensional space have the following parameters: in height 140.2, in width - 68.6, and in thickness - 7.3 millimeters. At the same time, the mass of the device was dropped to a record low of only 120 grams.

Conclusion and feedback

Among the advantages of the device - good quality of cellular communication, as well as other wireless modules. Wi-Fi takes the signal freely, without effort. Cellular network does not disappear. And what else can you expect from a smartphone for 15 thousand rubles, which is equipped with LTE technology? Good volume conversational dynamics. There is stock. Speech of the interlocutor from the end of the wire comes qualitatively, cleanly and distinctly. In general, the expected plus sign. The same applies to the vibrating alert. Do not notice it will be difficult.

Among the expected logical flaws we have, first of all, the time of autonomous work. 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 and such characteristics!) To its fullest, non-stop, all day. In this case, the only solution to the issue will be the purchase of an additional external battery, say, 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 disadvantage is the lack of a memory card slot. Although we hope that the built-in 32 gigabytes of phone owners still enough.
