Lenovo Vibe X: First Look

2013-09-06
it's Josh McCall from Andhra Authority what's going on everybody and we're here at the Lenovo booth a couple doors over from the entrance of Aoife at Berlin and you might not hear about Lenovo a whole lot probably mostly because of their notebooks is what you know them for but they do have a smartphone Android powered and we have it here for you this is the lenovo 5x and so here it is the lenovo 5x this is their high-end smartphone not necessarily considered top-tier but I'll get into that in a little bit but this is basically what we're looking at and as you can see when I put it on inside already it is an incredibly thin device it's very very thin just millimeters thick I need an even with the tether that's over here you can definitely feel that it is very very easy together in one hand for a 5-inch screen devices it's actually pretty cool so we're gonna go ahead and just power it on real quick the power button is over on the right side with a wired rockers on the left side rather with the void markers on the right you do have a 5 megapixel camera over here and Lenovo and there is a sticker right here that says not available for sale in Europe including Germany so this is probably a phone mostly geared towards the Asian market but nonetheless we are pretty interested in this particular phone because it does pack a number of nice features we're standing over to the phone right now you'll also see that Lenovo employs a design that utilizes circles for their icons but anyway it is a pretty nice and simple interface it seems that there is a little bit of speed right here but what we're working with here is a 1.5 gigahertz quad-core MediaTek processor that is powering this old you're not really seeing a snapdragon in here like us become very common I know was using a different kind processor just going through the menus here now this is a five inch IPS display capable of 1080p resolution at 441 PPI so they've certainly hit the high-end spec in terms of the screen we have our capacitive keys here at the bottom play Menu key so it's an interesting device mostly because it's design is what is most intriguing it does pack some high-end specs but it does sort of fall short of getting into the top-tier mostly because it has a lesser camera at only 5 megapixels and also I guess you could argue that mediatek is not necessarily Qualcomm so maybe the speed isn't necessarily there as you can see here there is a bit of stutter it's not necessarily super fast but that also might have a little bit more to do with the operating system rather than just a processor after all mediatek does make some good processes that we've seen in certain devices so we're kept just going through here there's also a few things running in the background so that might be hindering it as well well yeah that is just your first and very quick look at the lenovo 5x we're here on the floor at Aoife in berlin so make sure you stay tuned because we have a lot of stuff ready for you
