hello fine pants Luke Westway here at
Mobile World Congress 2015 we're taking
a look at the Lenovo vibe shot a
smartphone that makes much of its camera
capabilities let's investigate now let's
talk a little bit about that camera tech
so on the side here there are two
dedicated buttons this one here is a
shutter button while this one switches
between smart and pro modes now when
you're using the phone in smart mode is
basically like using any other
smartphone camera although it does have
some pretty cool object tracking
technology which tries to line you up to
get the best shot things get a lot more
interesting though when you flick this
switch and move into pro mode now what
that gets you is loads of extra optional
settings so you can do things like
adjust the aperture adjust the ISO depth
of field and white balance things that
let you really really tinker with the
picture that you're getting so as for
the camera Hardware this is a 16
megapixel camera it's a six piece
modular lens it's got a tricolor LED
flash as well so when this thing's not
doing camera tricks it is a regular
smartphone as well it's got three gig of
ram this is a 5-inch screen
it's running Android 5.0 and it's got an
8 megapixel front-facing camera for
high-res selfies it's coming out in June
and it's gonna cost roughly three
hundred and fifty dollars let us know
