Lenovo had so much fun and lots of devices to showcase at IFA Berlin 2016 judging from a video uploaded on their twitter page. While the highlight of their launch was the Yoga Book, the company launched a bunch of new phones too albeit with little or no fanfare. Some of the phones launched include the Lenovo K6, Lenovo K6 Power, and Lenovo K6 Note. You should check them out if you haven’t. Two other phones the company launched are the (Lenovo Vibe) P2 and Lenovo A Plus.

Lenovo P2

First spotted a month ago at a trade event in China, the Vibe P2 is the successor to last year’s Vibe P1 which launched with a large 5000mAh battery. The Lenovo Vibe P2  ups the battery game with an additional 100mAh (5100mAh). There’s a 5.5” full HD display, Android 6.0, 3GB of RAM, 32GB ROM, Snapdragon 625 SoC, a 13MP rear camera supplied by Sony, and a 5MP camera up front for selfies.

If you are a lover of fingerprint scanners placed in front, Lenovo has got you covered with the P2 but it doesn’t seem like it will double as a home button like you have it on the Vibe P1, since it now uses on-screen buttons.

Lenovo says the Vibe P2 has fast charging but we can’t confirm if it is Quick Charge 2.0 or Quick Charge 3.0 until we get our hands on it. There is also going to be a 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM version released in China which may be called Vibe P2 Turbo, since the Vibe P1 Turbo is the P1 with more RAM. Price details have also not been released yet.

Lenovo A Plus

Want a cheap 4G LTE phone with VoLTE support? Look no further, The Lenovo A Plus has you covered, though you will have to sacrifice a couple of things such as the screen which is a 4.5” FWVGA (480 x 854) display, the front camera which is a measly 2MP, and the 2000mAh battery. Other specs are a 1.3GHz MT6580 chip, a 5MP rear camera, 8GB of storage, and SD card slot. The Lenovo A Plus is priced at €69 ($77/514 Yuan) for the single SIM variant and €79 ($88/588 Yuan) if you want an extra SIM slot.

Real images of the Lenovo Vibe P2 which were taken during a demo at a trade event in China have surfaced online. It is the successor to last year’s Vibe P1 and is expected to retain the same 5.5” size. However, it will be an AMOLED display and not an IPS screen.

Chinese companies are starting to move away from IPS displays as OLED/AMOLED screens can now be gotten locally.

Lenovo has made a couple of other changes to the Vibe P2 such as the use of on-screen buttons instead of capacitive buttons. This means the physical button might only serve as a fingerprint scanner since there’s already a home button on-screen.

The Vibe P2 will also feature 4GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 625 processor clocked at 2.02 GHz, an Adreno 506 GPU, and will ship with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The all-metal phone is expected to still have a 5000mAh battery but will have a thinner body at 8.5mm.

No NFC?

If you look closely, there’s no NFC symbol in this picture of the P2. The Vibe P1 and P1 Turbo both featured NFC with the symbol positioned just below the LED flash.

Does this mean the Vibe P2 won’t be featuring NFC or maybe Lenovo decided not to include the symbol? It will be unwise to remove NFC now that it has gained more popularity since last year, with more banks now supporting Google’s Android Pay in Europe, Australia, and the United States.
