Vibe X2. Review on Lenovo Vibe X2

Firstly in one word, if I have to say about this phone it is “Awesome”. I ordered it on the launch day with launch day offers (like 95% discount on battery case, 6 months EMI cash back etc., ) and received it on the next day(11th Nov).

This review is after using this phone for 2 days with Dual SIM on 3G & 2G Network.

Update Lenovo Charging Case available as of now(15th Nov) for Rs.1999/- Customers who bought this on launch day can take buy at Rs.100/-

Pros:

•Light weight – Feels very light but strong because of the alloy body.

•The Golden back & multi layered texture looks amazing & gives posh look like a high end phone.

•The box contains a free scratch guard & transparent back panel, which is not mentioned in the Flipkart site (box contents).

•The free transparent back panel is so thin & flimsy that it doesn't increase the size or weight of the phone

•The screen comes with Full HD resolution 1080, so the video clarity is amazing.

•Touch Screen – WOW! Very smooth, no lags & very responsive.

You can also configure with glove touch option

•Camera – The clarity is good in moderate light conditions & excellent sun light but images are blurred if you even shake a bit.

•32 GB internal memory(28 GB usable) without split, which means in an ideal situation, you will not go out of space, if you wish to install more applications or games.

•Tiny LED indicator on top for certain alerts(configurable).

•Twin MIC for noise cancellation.

•Gorilla 3 Glass – However, most of us tend to use scratch guard and Lenovo also understand that

•Lenovo Security – I have never seen an application for Android like this. It is a pack of Antivirus, Memory /Junk cleaner, Privacy guard, Phone guard etc.,

•Comes with pre-installed applications like – Facebook, Twitter, Truecaller, Kingsoft office, Route 66 etc., - Some of it can be uninstalled if you don’t like, I uninstalled “Evernote.”

•Preinstalled games like Spiderman, Asphalt etc.,

•If you are not using any security (Pattern or PIN) then you can configure the lock screen with some applications, this will directly take you through that without searching for the application.

•Preinstalled with several Themes.

•Supports 4G(LTE) in India unlike Huawei Honor 6 doesn't support.

•Lot of shortcuts as pull down menu(like Cleanmaster), which are very useful.

•Loud speaker volume – Unlike some phones are very poor in that.

•In future, we will also get JBL speaker accessory, which could be used for personal music listening.

Cons:

•It comes with Micro SIM for 3G & Nano SIM slot for 2G, so you cannot swaps SIMs just like that without an adaptor.

•No support Micro SD but I think they might have avoided due to speed related issues/concerns.

•Battery lasts just a day but you can get original Lenovo battery back as accessory.

•Surprisingly, there is a 14 MB firmware patch already available for this phone!

Overall, great value for money! Instead of going for other expensive brands, you can choose this one, which has latest features!
