The Rainbow Layer Design

If anyone remembers the Lenovo Vibe X, Vibe Z, and this year’s Lenovo Golden Warrio S8, they almost look completely alike. This time, however, Lenovo has decided to break tradition for the X2 by following a multi-level layer design.

The so-called “Layer” design refers to the rarely-applied cellphone design that is used for the Lenovo X2. From the side, you can see that the phone’s phrame is divided into four sections (including the screen), each having a different color, resembling a rainbow. The screen is “hanging” above the second section. From the front, it appears that the screen is surrounded by a “rainbow” frame.

The USB port is at the bottom

The X2 has very clear edges and corners. The display screen’s 5-inch size also made the phone’s overall size more suitable. You can pull down the notification menu with just your right thumb. It also has a thickness of 7.27mm.

Magnesium Alloy unibody

       The Lenovo X2 sports a 5-inch 1920 x 1080 display screen. Considering the body’s size, it is not a big screen although 1080p is within industry standards. Overall, these are fair measurements and there is a balance.

5-inch HD screen

Above the screen, we can see the phone’s 5mp front camera. The front of this phone does not carry Lenovo’s logo. Below the screen are three buttons for background lights.

The power and volume buttons are located at the phone’s right side, and not only is this phone made of metal but follows a laser concentric design. The frame and back are made of magnesium alloy with a fine texture. Because it is a unitary body, the back cannot be taken off. As a result, a dual-SIM dish can be pulled out. It supports micro SIM and nano SIM cards. It also supports TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, and GSM.

The magnesium rear shell went through a meticulous sandblasting process. It does not have any grainy texture. It provides great protection against leaving fingerprints and skidding. The 13mp camera and LED light are located at the upper let side. The phone is powered by a 2300mAh battery.

Vibe UI 2.0

The Lenovo phone X2 uses the Android 4.4.2 OS and its UI is the Vibe UI 2.0. The following illustrates the special features and highlights of this user interface.

When you swipe your finger upwards at the unlock screen, you can unlock the phone. When you swipe it sideways, you can change the unlock screen’s wallpaper. After unlocking the phone, you can see that the Lenovo X2 cancelled the secondary menu’s design, but still retains the secondary menu’s icons. When you click them, the background picture will not be blurry. When you click the menu button, the theme and wallpaper interface will come out. So many sources can be changed. Some are free, and some are not. The users can choose.

This year, it has been necessary to add smart motion sensors. The Lenovo Phone X2 offers a selection of mobile sensing functions. For example, when you open your phone, you can press the volume button on the right to also brighten up the screen. Furthermore, you can also take photos quickly. When the screen is black, you can quickly double click the Home button to take photos.

       The Le series apps have a long history and now comes with new features. There are now many third-party apps at the Le store that are available for download, and can also notify the user of updates on security software. Le Security provides anti-hacking protection, system improvements, and a software uninstaller. It is very easy to use.

Super Camera 4.1 software offers high-quality photos

       Next, we will take a look at the Lenovo X2’s camera. Its Super Camera software has now been upgraded to 4.1. How is it?

The biggest change in the Super Camera 4.1 is that it is simpler. Earlier versions had 24 types of filters. Although there was a lot to choose, it was still hard to pick one. The Super Camera 4.1 makes this easy but reducing it to half. This increases the number of uses of 12 filters. As the photos show, these filters may add a special charm to them.

       The quality of the photos taken by the X2 is great. They are very clear whether they are taken indoors or outdoors. The colors are also a bit more natural. The closest focal distance is about 8cm, making it impossible to focus if you are too near.

The Vibe X2 is 7.27mm thick and weighs 118g but its mid-frame is only 2.45mm thick. These snapshots from Phonearena show that its outer shell comes in many colors. Even more interesting is that one version has a rainbow mid-frame made up of four colors. These colors are put in a certain order. The first is black as it actually part of the screen. The next one is the same color as the back. The third color will be the same color as the power and volume buttons. Then, there is the fourth color.

Lenovo jumped on the 64-bit smartphone bandwagon with the Vibe Z2 which will be launched in October.

The current phone has a large 5.5-inch screen and is 7 mm thick. The Vibe Z2 is thus Lenovo’s thinnest phone. It is powered by a quad core 64-bit Snapdragon processor and 2 GB RAM. It also has 32 GB of internal memory. These features are topped up with a 13 mega pixel rear camera and an 8 mega pixel front camera which is specialised to click selfies.

It is 7.27 mm thick and has a 13 mega pixel rear camera and an 8 mega pixel front camera like the Vibe Z2.

Lenovo which is the world’s fourth largest smartphone manufacturer launched the new Vibe X2 at the IFA trade show, Berlin. Lenovo also introduced a new ‘layered’ design in which the smartphone is made up of layers of different colours.  These layers are not functionally useful and neither can they be changed. The Vibe X2 has a 5 inch full HD screen and has improved battery efficiency of 20%. It houses a 13 mega pixel rear camera and a 5 mega pixel front camera. The front camera is programmed with many special features for the selfie obsessed customers.

The company also had a lot to talk about its Vibe 2.0 UI which can do a lot of functions at two taps like open the most used app or even take a picture. It also has a ‘beautification bar’ which enhances selfies and makes them more beautiful and attractive. Thus, this handset could be called Lenovo’s selfie phone. This year at the IFA trade show many companies have featured phones with special features for clicking selfies.

The Vibe X2 is powered by an octa core 2 GHz processor with 2 GB RAM. It also has 32 GB internal storage. The dual sim version of this phone will be available in the Asia-Pacific while the single sim version will be available in other countries. It runs on Android Kit Kat 4.4 topped with the Vibe 2.0 UI. Other features include a 2300 mAh, supports 4G LTE, and other connectivity options like WiFi and Bluetooth. The phone is priced at $399 and will be released in China soon.

Lenovo has sent out invites for its event on 4^th September at IFA, Berlin. Surprisingly, these invites feature a lollipop with Vibe X2 written in the centre thus fuelling claims that the company is all set to launch its latest smartphone, the Vibe X2. The lollipop seems to be hinting at Android L, the latest version of the Android operating system. The invite is topped by a satirical statement on top which says ‘We can’t sat anything either.’ This statement is definitely a take on Apple’s punchline on its invite which says ‘Wish we could say more’. Healthy humour before the start of IFA surely points out to a great event ahead. The invite also reveals more that the real name of the latest version of Android i.e. Android L is ‘lollipop’ and not ‘lemon meringue pie’. However, Google is yet to confirm this news and unless coming from Google, the world cannot believe any speculation.

The Vibe X2 will be released in a few days but if the leaked reports are to be believed the phone has a 5 inch HD screen. It is powered by a dual-core processor and 2 GB RAM. It also has a 13 mega pixel rear camera with LED flash and a 5 mega pixel front camera. According to the leaks, the phone is an exact replica of its predecessor the Vibe X but it has a better processor. The Vibe X is currently priced at INR 22,999 which is INR 3000 less than the price at which it was launched in December last year.
