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.

The Pioneer K88L phone, which costs 1799 RMB (293.04 USD), is one of the few 5-mode/13-frequency devices to use a processor from MediaTek. It also comes with an NFC function and Dolby Audio. It sports a 5.5-inch HD display screen, an octa-core processor, and 13mp camera.

Having said that, let us take a look at what this phone is made of. Behold! The Pioneer K88L tear-down!

This phone boasts a unibody design and you will need a tool to unscrew the rear case. Furthermore, the rear case and the phone’s body by a strong glue that makes it hard to separate them.

On the rear-case is a thermal graphite sheet which can temper the phone’s battery heat.

Here’s the NFC wire wrapped in a coil glued above the battery.

After unscrewing many bolts, you can take out the phone’s mid-frame.

The motherboard is located at the upper half of the phone where the battery takes up the most space.

The antennas are located on two corners of the phone.

Here’s the front side of the motherboard where most of the chips are hidden under a shielding case.

After taking off the shielding case, you can see the MT6169V chip in the middle.

At the upper part of the phone are the sensor and IC display chip.

The K88L supports Dolby Sound, and it’s all thanks to this.

And here’s all the components, from the motherboard and its chips to the cameras and cases.

Overall, just as you would expect from a Chinese cellphone company, Pioneer never forgets to add NFC chips and many others as well as producing such a sturdy phone.
