Lenovo’s new flagship smartphone delivers high-speed performance with latest MediaTek True ™ processor and new VIBE Xtension™ accessories
Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced the trend-setting VIBE X2 — the world’s first layered smartphone. The VIBE X2 turns heads with its signature design which frees users to express their multi-faceted lifestyles.
The layered motif is a quantum leap in terms of smartphone design. The thin and light VIBE X2 uses MediaTek’s latest 4G LTE mobile processor, promising consumers True Octa-core™ processing power.
“Becoming a PC Plus leader with a focus on smartphone is the most crucial challenge for Lenovo. We are well positioned to succeed as we have the innovation and in-house manufacturing capability to bring new and exciting products to the market quickly and efficiently,” said Michael Ngan, Country General Manager, Lenovo Philippines.
World’s First Layered Smartphone
To create the VIBE X2, Lenovo meticulously designed countless samples of each hue. Utilizing robotic arms and clean rooms, three coats of paint were applied for each tone, totaling nine coatings per phone. To achieve a smooth finish, expert hand craftsmanship was employed as a final touch to further refine the layers.
Cutting-edge performance and power efficiency
Lenovo is the first to ship a smartphone with the latest MediaTek MT6595 True Octa-core™ processor with 4G LTE. MediaTek applied its CorePilot technology to the VIBE X2 to unlock the full power of all eight cores. This allows the MT6595M to deliver superior multi-tasking performance and excellent, sustained performance-per-watt, allowing users to enjoy great multimedia features, fast 4G data transmission rates and long battery life on the VIBE X2.
With the Lenovo VIBE X2 running on Android 4.4 KitKat, system performance is also taken to an all-time high through memory optimization and improvement of touchscreen responsiveness and accuracy.
Multi-layered accessories for Multi-layered lifestyles
The Lenovo VIBE X2 packs two advanced cameras equipped with multiple shooting modes and editing features. Users can capture crisp, vivid photos and video whenever the moment strikes. Selfies are effortless with the VIBE X2’s 5MP wide-angle front camera with auto-shutter that is activated by the blink of an eye or a smile. The13MP auto-focus, rear-facing camera comes with a back-illuminated sensor and LED flash to produce sharp, brilliant shots. And with 32GB of internal storage, users will have ample room to store their digital content.
Lenovo also introduced two new innovative click-on accessories, known as VIBE Xtensions: VIBE X2 Battery and VIBE X2 speaker. The VIBE Xtension1™ cases add a fourth layer to the VIBE X2’s multi-layer design, immediately extending battery life and cranking up high-fi sound. The ultra-thin (5.1mm) X2 Battery does double duty by protecting the phone while also extending its battery life by nearly 75 percent[1], lasting from day to night without having to recharge. The X2 JBL Speaker amplifies music and movie audio. A stand allows for hands-free use and a built-in mic for group conference calls.
“Uniquely crafted with three layers of distinctive colors, the VIBE X2 is the ideal smartphone for design trendsetters and style followers. Combined with the all-new VIBE Xtensions™ which gives the VIBE X2 its fourth layer, these innovations will drive Lenovo’s leadership in the PC Plus era,” said Dino Romano, Country Head, Lenovo Smartphones. “Our partnership with MediaTek delivers powerful performance in the stylish VIBE X2 and this will appeal to our discerning customers who value best-in-class features in their smartphones.”
