Disenyo ken Konstruksion

Agus ti Lenovo Vibe X2 iti maysa a napapatiayon a disenio no inbandiranda kadagiti naununa. Sannan met laeng, bayat a ti Vibe X ket addaan iti metallic a kasla iPod Touch 4th-gen a disenio, ti Vibe X2 ket addaan iti nalawag ken mas maysa a panangipakita. Iti ngayon, naaramid daytoy manipud iti plastik ngem iti kasta a quality a makapagpababaan dagiti amin a telepono.

Iti kaso ti unit a naireview, ket maysa a tumpok ti puti, pilak, ken abong.

Kadagiti unget, adda ti 5-inch Full HD display, kasla ti earpiece, 5 megapixel a kamera iti unget, ken tallo a capacitive nga buton. Kadagiti kaliwat, adda ti Dual-SIM card tray a makapangato iti microSIM ken nanoSIM. Kadagiti kanan, adda ti volume rocker ken power/lock a buton a may-ayupay a metallic concentric-circles a porma.

Agdamaon ti headset jack iti ibabaw, iti baba ket ti microUSB port ken microphone. Ti 13 megapixel a rear camera nga addaan iti LED flash, sekondario a microphone, Lenovo logo, speaker, ken dagiti metal contacts para kadagiti VIBE Xtensions accessories kas ti clip-on JBL speaker, makitanda iti likudan.

Kadua, napakapanunot no kasano a mababa ti device iti 120g. Aka 7.3mm ket saan a kasapay ti sub-7mm nga high-end smartphones ita a panaw ngem nasayaat a makita (nasapay ti iPhone 5S a mababa iti 7.6mm) ken agtultuloy ti pagsasao dagiti kammo para iti grip. Bannog, napakaimpressibo ti design ken construction ti Vibe X2. Mababa, matibay, nasayaat a makita, ken saan a nakapapanunot a makita.

Displego ken Multimedia

Tinengnaen ti Vibe X2 ti 5-inch IPS a display nga adda Full HD resolution wenno 441ppi ti kailian, ngem mas crisp ken mas vibrant. Dagiti viewing angles ken kulay ket napudno no mausar pay laeng iti labas. Ita pay, dagiti nipis a bezels kadagiti sidsida ket mangpabingbingay a makita ti screen. Maipapan iti quality ti sound, saan a mapanawit babaen ti bassit a speaker grill iti likudan ta kayatna nga agparangarap ti crisp a tunno nga adda nasayaat a bass.

Agpayso daytoy, ti Vibe X2 ket maysa met a nasayaat a multimedia a dispositivo. Ti panagkita kadagiti pelikula ket maysa a naipangruna gapu iti ClearMotion a feature nga addaananna, a mangpababa ken mangipakpakadutay dagiti bideo.

OS, UI, ken Apps

Ti Vibe X2 ket adda Android 4.4.2 KitKat a kas ti Vibe UI 2.0. Masna daytoy, nalawag, ken agtultuloy dagiti patpatien a flat icons nga mangpabingay iti panangngita ken mas naipatpatien.

Kadagiti usual Google apan, ti Vibe X2 ket adda met kadagiti sarili a aplikasion ni Lenovo kas iti Lenovo Security, Lenovo SHAREit, Lenovo SYNCit, ken ti kaniak a Theme Center.

Agpaman ti Vibe X2, adda 32GB ti internal storage ken 25GB a mausar. Saan a addaan iti microSD card slot ngem saan a nasayaat ti default storage capacity para iti kinapangatoanna.

Kamera

Handling ti imaging department ket maysa a 13 megapixel rear shooter nga addaan iti LED flash. Makapagkua daytoy kadagiti litrato a nasayaat a kalidad, ngem napigsaanmi a makita a masansan a mangusar iti mas lambat a shutter speed no man adda sapat a pagsapa.

Adda pay ti beautification feature no agtultuloymo a mapabaro dagiti selfie mo.

Agpayso a makapagrekord dagiti video iti Full HD resolution ti rear camera iti 30fps. Sapsapitaen ti sample video nga adda ita baba:

Pagkasapian ken Dagiti Pagsukatan

The Vibe X2 ket pinapigsa babaen ti 2.0GHz MediaTek MT6595m octa-core CPU, PowerVR G6200 GPU, ken 2GB ti RAM. Pinagkaykaysa iti Android KitKat, napigsa ken responsibo ti Vibe X2. Aglunsod dagiti apps a mabilis ken saanmi a nakadungpar kadagiti lags bayat ti pannakapalabas dagiti graphic intensive games kas Asphalt 8. Iti sabali a pagsasao, napigsa met laeng ti performance.

Daytoy dagiti resulta ti benchmark:
* AnTuTu - 48,838 (di-naipapatay a skore)
* Quadrant Standard - 20,379
* Vellamo - 1,800 (Metal), 2,307 (Multicore), 3,165 (Chrome Browser)
* PCMark - 3,971
* 3DMark - 14,366 (Ice Store Unlimited)

Konektibidad ken Kalidad ti Tawag

Isa kadagiti maysa a main a paset ti Vibe X2 ket ti dual-SIM support (micro + nano) iti LTE connectivity. Agingga ita, saan mi a nakadungpar dagiti problema iti dagiti featurena a konektado. Dagiti voice calls ket napudno pay laeng no adda maysa a nasayaat a signal iti imatangyo.

Kasasaad ti Baterya

Providing juice for the Vibe X2 is a 2,300mAh battery which is an improvement from the Vibe X's 2,000mAh. We ran our routine battery test which involves playing a 1080p video on loop on Airplane mode at 50% volume and brightness with headset plugged in, and the result is 8.3 hours worth of playback which is good.

We also tested it with the ClearMotion feature on and we got 5.3 hours worth of playback which is not bad at all. In addition, Vibe X2 also lets you manage how the device consumes resources with the help of Power Manager and the Scheduled power on & off feature.

Conclusion

The Lenovo Vibe X2 is light years away from its predecessor, the Vibe X. It's faster, more feature-packed, and better-looking. If there are things to complain about is the underwhelming camera and the lack of microSD card slot and USB OTG support. As for its SRP, Lenovo has probably learned when it comes to reasonable pricing and launched the Vibe X2 for just Php18,999. Compare that with the Vibe X's original asking price of Php19,999 which sounds like a joke.

To conclude, Lenovo got it right with the Vibe X2. It has a fantastic display, great performance, Android KitKat with an attractive UI, dual-SIM with LTE, good battery life, and sub-Php20k price tag. And with Android Lollipop promised for the device, things are looking good for the Vibe X2.

No MicroSD card slot at this price point is a big joke. They should have stuffed at least 64 GB of internal storage in there to justify the lack of SD card.

32 GB of international storage alone won’t just cut it anymore due to the demands of today’s apps and multimedia content.

Wew. Wag kayong bumili ng Lenovo. Remember K900? Hanggang ngayon walang os update. Sabi ng Lenovo hindi daw pwede iupgrade yung Z2760, nahiya ang zenfone 5 sakanila, kitkat na and andaming issue. Trust me.

Same sentiments here. Do not buy a Lenovo Smartphone even if you’re planning to waste your money. This is the only international brand I know that does not give a damn about giving updates to their past flagship phones.

And now that Motorola belongs to Lenovo, I am afraid that Lenovo will ruin Motorola’s greatness by halting support for Moto E, G and X. Motorola’s fate has been butchered ever since Lenovo has bought them.
