Lenovo Vibe X smartphone with 5-inch full-HD screen, quad-core processor unveiled

Lenovo has unveiled a new flagship smartphone, the Vibe X, at the IFA in Berlin.

The smartphone has a premium polycarbonate body and an advanced mold, laser-engraved 3D tactile finish. One of the highlights of the device is its super thin frame measuring just 6.9mm. It weighs 121 grams.

The Vibe X sports a 5-inch 20/ 20 vision full-HD display that has a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels and pixel density of 440ppi, sitting under a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen beveled at the edges. The phone is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek (MTK 6589T) processor, has 2GB of RAM, and offers 16GB of internal storage. It runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

The Lenovo Vibe X features two cameras. The 13-megapixel auto-focus rear-facing camera of the phone comes with a back-illuminated sensor for sharper images and an LED flash. The phone also features a 5-megapixel front-facing camera that comes with a wide-angle 84 degree lens. The Vibe X is backed by a 2,000mAh battery.

"Lenovo continues to bring head-turning innovations to the PC Plus marketplace with the Lenovo Vibe X smartphone's uncompromising hardware design, its rich display and memory-making camera technologies," said Wayne Chen, vice president, general manager, mobile business unit, Lenovo. "Along with the S5000 tablet, these carefully crafted devices unleash a powerful blend of beautiful and smart technology to improve people's lives."

The Lenovo Vibe X smartphone will be available in China starting in October and in countries where Lenovo smartphones are sold beginning in December.

Lenovo has also updated its K900 smartphone introducing two new colour variants, Black and Orange and new internal storage options of 16GB or 32GB.

The K900 smartphone in Black and Orange with 16GB/ 32GB storage is now available in China and will be available later this year in countries where Lenovo smartphones are available.
