Lenovo launched the Phab 2 Plus in India on Tuesday, with the aim of ending Xiaomi Mi Max’s monopoly in the market for smartphones with huge screens. Both the ultra-large screen phablets are quite similar at first look, with their metal bodies and thin bezels around the display, but there are subtle differences between the two that make them quite distinct from each other.</div>

<div>
For example, people more interested in photography would lean towards the Lenovo Phab 2 Plus for its dual rear cameras, while the Xiaomi handset would be automatic choice for those who want to use their smartphone as a remote control thanks to its IR capabilities.</div>

Lenovo ThinkPad W540 Review (Buy On Powernotebooks)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="content-page" id="heading-content-1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 25px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Picking the right work laptop for your business is nerve-racking. Beyond your own personal disappointment, making the wrong choice also means saddling all your employees with a bad computer. It's imperative that you go with a machine that offers a great display, computing power and battery life without breaking the bank. There are only few laptops that can do this, and Lenovo's new ThinkPad W540 workstation narrowly meets most of these requirement.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Packing a 15.6-inch, 2880 x 1620 (3K) resolution IPS display, the W540 is a mobile visual studio built on Lenovo's platform of ThinkPad workstations. Add in a high-end 2.7GHz Intel Core i7-4800MQ processor with a NVIDIA Quadro K2100M graphics card, and this machine is ready to tackle anything from simple word documents, to thousand page spreadsheets and heavy 3D modeling.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
However, at $2,573 (about £1,606, AU$2,946), you've got to ask yourself if power is worth the price.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Design</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There isn't anything noteworthy about the W540's design. The laptop is a carbon copy of previous ThinkPad notebooks. It folds up into a plain, gray rectangle devoid of flashy accents, and featuring only a few curved edges.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="Lenovo ThinkPad W540 review" src="http://www.in.techradar.com/photo/44634659.cms" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 10px 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle; width: 640.65625px;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What the W540 lacks in style, it makes up for with a carbon-fiber reinforced plastic body wrapped around a magnesium rollcage. With these rugged elements combined, you can expect this laptop to survive falls and other accidents that would otherwise damage other notebooks.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Despite these toughened materials, the ThinkPad W540 still has a few soft spots. The rightmost side of the palmrest creeks under the weight of your hand. Prodding the notebook frame along the display hinge also causes a noticeable amount of flexing. These are both small imperfections that you won't notice unless you look for them. But it's still disappointing that such a toughly built laptop bends under pressure.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Another thing you won't like is the painted screen lid. Featuring a soft touch material that picks up dust and scratches easily, your new workstation won't glisten and shine after a few months of usage. Meanwhile, the interior is finished with a coarse, hard plastic texture. Personally I thought it would have made much more sense to swap these, but the lid is made of a different glass-fiber reinforced material, which could explain why Lenovo uses a soft touch coat.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Lenovo ThinkPad W540 is a blocky beast that weighs in at 5.57 pounds and measures 14.8 x 9.8 x 1.1 inches, much of which is due to the optical drive. By comparison, the optical drive-less MacBook Pro 15 with Retina display tips the scales at only 4.46 pounds with 14.13 x 9.73 x 0.71 inch dimensions. The 14-inch HP ZBook is by far the smallest and lightest machine, sizing up to 13.35 x 9.33 x 0.83 inches and 3.57 pounds.</div>

The configuration listed above comes to a whopping $2,573 (about £1,606, AU$2,946). It's a considerably costly machine with which to equip an entire workforce. The rig above represents the pinnacle of an all-around workstation that can do it all, and then some. Unless your business revolves around graphic design that requires heavy computing power, it might be smarter to pick a more affordable and less capable rig.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The HP ZBook 14 is an even more expensive option at $3,087 (about £1,927, AU$3,535). Despite a loftier price, users will come away with a comparatively less capable machine. The HP ZBook 14 at best can be configured with a 1080p screen that pales in comparison to the W540's 3K resolution. The HP notebook is equipped with a slower 2.1GHz Intel Core i7-4600U processor and a less powerful AMD FirePro graphics chip. However, the laptop does come with 16GB of RAM, twice the amount of the W540.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You might also want to consider going with Apple's latest generation MacBook Pro 15 featuring a higher-resolution 2880 x 1800 display. Available on Amazon for $1,899 (about £1,185, AU$2,174), the thin production machine is equipped with a 2.5GHz Intel Core i7 processor complemented by Nvidia's GeForce 750M GPU. It's not as powerful as the W540, but you'll get a better looking and lighter machine with double the RAM, plus better battery life, and a much more reasonable price tag.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For the best bang for your buck I'll point to the Dell Precision M4800. Dell's workstation costs $2,238 (about £1,397, AU$2,563) for a nearly identical setup as the W540 listed above, plus a higher-resolution 3200 x 1800 display. The lower-cost unit also leaves more budgetary wiggle room for additional SSD storage and RAM, or other upgrades. In April we reviewed the 1080p version of the Dell M4800, so we can't definitely say it is a better machine. But at least on paper, it offers up the best bargain.</div>

With such impressive (and expensive) parts, the W540 performed flawlessly with any application I used. The W540 never stuttered, regardless of whether I was browsing the web, editing images or looking at 3D printing models in Autocad. Here's a look at how the laptop performed in our series of benchmark tests.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The ThinkPad comes with a top shelf Intel Core i7-4800 processor and put up one of the highest 654- point Cinebench CPU score I've ever seen from a laptop. To put the W540's Cinebench CPU score into perspective, it closely follows the 722 points put up by the Alienware 18, the most powerful gaming laptop we've ever tested, equipped with a nearly two times faster 2.9GHz Intel Core i7-4910MQ processor. The HP Zbook 14 with its 2.1GHz Intel Core i7-4600U CPU pales in comparison, only putting up a paltry 295 points.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Graphically, the W540's score also beats the competition thanks to its hardened NVIDIA Quadro K2100M graphics card. In our 3DMark graphics benchmarks the Lenovo finished the most taxing Fire Strike run with 1,710 points. In the same test, the HP ZBook 14 only put up a score of 1,208 points. A less impressive performance we'll mark up to the notebook's AMD FirePro M4100 GPU, which only features 1GB of GDDR5 video RAM.</div>

Because the late 2013 MacBook Pro 15 with Retina display we reviewed last December was running OS X Mavericks and not Windows, we can't compare benchmark scores one-to-one. However, we can use Batman: Arkham City as a measuring stick. The MacBook Pro 15 was able to run the game on 1080p and ultra settings at 39fps using just Intel's integrated ISIS graphics. The W540's performance mirrored the Apple notebook - that is before the game crashed shortly after.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Games do not run well on the W540 and the problem is not due to a lack of power. Rather, it is because game developers often do not account for workstation-grade graphics cards, such as the Quadro line, when developing their titles. It's not a big knock against the ThinkPad, as all workstation machines weren't made with gaming in mind. However, you'll still be able to run Hearthstone to sneak in a quick game during your lunch break.</div>

3K resolution for a nearly $3K bill</h3>

The best thing about the W540 is its gorgeous 3K screen. At 2800 x 1620 the pixels on this 15.6-inch screen are virtually invisible. What's more, they're all tuned to produce perfect and accurate colors, which can be adjusted even more finely with the optional Integrated Color Calibrator.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Post calibration, the on-screen colors became even more vibrant and true to life. The display was so good, I bumped my usual MacBook Pro 13 with Retina display to the side and edited all of my images on the W540 for this very review.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Aside from images, the high-resolution makes text look crisp without turning the font into thin, unreadable lines of scribble. The pixel-rich display also makes just about any video look good. You can finally appreciate the quad-HD quality of the few snippets of 4K video on YouTube.</div>

Unfortunately, the high-resolution screen also eats into battery life. During our PCMark 8 battery test the ThinkPad W540 only lasted three hours and seven minutes. With normal use you can expect to squeeze out four hours and nine minutes split between more than a dozen tabs of web browsing, some image editing in Lightroom and streaming 4K video on YouTube. Even after activating the power saver profile on the W540 I got at best five hours and 17 minutes with modest use.</div>

All the tools and no applications</h3>

Despite being a workstation machine designed for productivity and office work, there are hardly any business applications built in or bundled into the laptop's high price. Don't expect to immediately work on spreadsheets, word documents or images. Instead the IT department will have to pre-install the applications.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is where Apple has recently trumped Microsoft by including its iWork and iLife suites with every Mac and iOS device. Add in the free release of OS X Mavericks (and soon,Yosemite), and Apple has made a very tantalizing platform for employees to jump onto that lets them keep all of their systems updated for free. Most companies will have an IT department with access to its own set of licenses of enterprise software. But for smaller businesses with employees numbering in the teens, going Mac is a much better and more affordable choice.</div>

As for the W540, all that's been preloaded on the system is the company's usual suite of business communication tools. Here are the most important pre-loaded tools:</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

If you're purchasing the Lenovo ThinkPad W540 for your business you won't be disappointed. It's a hefty and solid system that packs plenty of power under the hood to get you through all your daily tasks. Of course, with such a high price tag for this configuration, it might be prohibitively expensive to outfit your entire workforce with W540. So it might be a unit best reserved for your graphic design team.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Lenovo has inherited ThinkPad's long heritage of building excellent business laptops, and the W540 is another stellar notebook. The laptop's rugged body will survive an accident better than a HP ZBook 14 or Macbook Pro 15 with Retina Display. Thanks to Lenovo's software it's a highly secure tool that won't be hacked easily. Meanwhile, this laptop has perfect inputs - as you'd expect from a ThinkPad. Lenovo has figured out its keyboards to a science. The Chinese computer maker has also designed a trackpad that's twice the traditional size, making navigation even smoother and more comfortable.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.1em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Aside from the solid build quality and usability that we've come to expect from Lenovo, the W540 also offers a uniquely gorgeous screen. The screen on this ThinkPad is a sight to behold. It displays text and images with great contrast, gorgeous colors and an amazing resolution. I dare to say, it's the best screen I've ever seen on a laptop. Plus the W540 actually has components with enough power to drive this high-resolution 3K display. If you're in the graphic design or photography world, this is one laptop definitely worth checking out.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

While we liked the solid build quality on the W540, the few creaky spots were disappointing inconsistencies. Otherwise the only other knock I have against the W540 is its expectedly poor battery life and somewhat astronomical price.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

At $2,573 (about £1,606, AU$2,946) the Lenovo ThinkPad W540 is a costly business investment whether you're buying just one or multiple units for your employees. For this reason there are a lot of other machines to consider, especially if your line of work does not require a 2880 x 1620 display.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="font-size: 1.1em;">
There are also direct competitors such as the MacBook Pro 15 that offer a slightly higher fidelity Retina display for less money. The Dell Precision M4800 also offers up the same configuration with an even higher-resolution 3200 x 1800 display, all for a smaller equipment bill. If it were not for the enormous price tag we would wholeheartedly recommend the Lenovo ThinkPad W540, just be sure to check out the competition before you decide to foot the big bill.</div>

Lenovo Vibe X2

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lenovo on Thursday launched the Vibe X2 in India at price of Rs. 19,990. The smartphone, which had first debuted at IFA 2014, is exclusive to Flipkart in India and will be available starting Monday, November 10 at 10am IST.</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA2GmOagcO-AlYV4bwpXNBX7CIEC381c10ENQ-zuTa0QaRkQGPqBXbN8rBFmgjTvdOlk1Qx47IiyzuTjRSMvNzZrrSHUgSF3lU3RCuJ0YBLdumisNUGKP_GxL-mGch60j1TVzmWvYZR74H/s1600/vibe-x2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA2GmOagcO-AlYV4bwpXNBX7CIEC381c10ENQ-zuTa0QaRkQGPqBXbN8rBFmgjTvdOlk1Qx47IiyzuTjRSMvNzZrrSHUgSF3lU3RCuJ0YBLdumisNUGKP_GxL-mGch60j1TVzmWvYZR74H/s1600/vibe-x2.jpg" width="190" /></a></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We at NDTV Gadgets got a chance to spend some time with the Lenovo Vibe X2, and these are our first impressions.</span></b><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Lenovo Vibe X2 has a unique, colourful 'multi-layered' design, which certainly looks fresh compared to the kind of designs we are used to seeing these days. From the side you can see three stacked layers of different colours, apart from the front, which is black.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lenovo says that the unibody frame is made of 'Magnesium Alloy' and has a fingerprint-resistant coating. The device feels solid and premium in hand, and the fingerprint problem has indeed been taken care of. The Vibe X2 measures 140.2x68.6x7.27mm and weighs 120 grams.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The power key and volume rocker are on the right edge, and the 3.5mm headphone jack is on top. The left edge hosts a SIM card tray that can accommodate one Micro-SIM and one Nano-SIM. The Vibe X2 supports dual standby. Band 3 and band 40 LTE will work in India. Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth, and Micro-USB.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Vibe X2's multi-layered concept extends to enable snap-on accessories called Vibe Xtensions which look like additional layers. At just 5.1mm thin, Lenovo's Vibe X2 Battery can be clipped on to the device just like a cover, to keep it charged.</span></b><br />
<b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhECbmN87cHu0B9RYuy7t2TpNupEplzcWA3TPZDXTxuSn22-fVgMh3mDYLy091XAuBU7l8lsjZD8pojQyNB2TFPaFLkMRIoNpjGl6wVEkTjHhZrXkaN0y3LPDgZGoiCaAMOe8G19RUS-__c/s1600/Lenovo-Vibe-X2-High-Resolution-IMage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhECbmN87cHu0B9RYuy7t2TpNupEplzcWA3TPZDXTxuSn22-fVgMh3mDYLy091XAuBU7l8lsjZD8pojQyNB2TFPaFLkMRIoNpjGl6wVEkTjHhZrXkaN0y3LPDgZGoiCaAMOe8G19RUS-__c/s1600/Lenovo-Vibe-X2-High-Resolution-IMage.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The second accessory is called Vibe X2 Speaker, a clip-on Bluetooth speaker which can also function as a stand. Interestingly, it includes a battery which the company claims can provide five hours of uninterrupted audio playback.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">While the Vibe X2 Battery will be available this month on Flipkart, the Vibe X2 Speaker will come in December, said Lenovo during the launch in New Delhi</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Vibe X2 features a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920-pixel) IPS screen and runs Android 4.4 KitKat with Vibe UI 2.0. The screen appears very vibrant, but we had a little difficulty with it in bright light outdoors.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lenovo said during the launch event that it is betting heavily on the Vibe 2.0 UI, as it is intuitive and different from others. We quite like some of the features we were able to see, but Lenovo's improvements need to be examined in depth, which we will do in our full review.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the camera front, the Vibe X2 has a 13-megapixel autofocus rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera. We did test both cameras in outdoor as well as indoor lighting conditions, and they performed decently. (sample image below - click to enlarge)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Lenovo Vibe X2 is powered by a 2GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6595m processor. It comes with 2GB of RAM and includes 32GB of inbuilt storage. In the battery department, the Vibe X2 uses a non-removable Li-Po 2300mAh battery. According to Lenovo, battery life is the best in its class.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In our limited time with this phone, we felt that it operates smoothly and it could handle multitasking with ease. It will be interesting to see that how Lenovo handles competing devices such as Huawei's Honor 6 (Review | Pictures) which costs the same amount and is buzzing in the market with its octa-core Kirin 920 processor and 3GB of RAM. Do stay tuned for more detailed observations and comprehensive test results in our full review.</span></b><br />
