The Lenovo Vibe P1 is quite the crowd pleaser with its impressive specs sheet and monster battery pack. So much in fact, that it overshadowed its smaller, yet equally notable sibling the Lenovo Vibe P1m.
Lenovo Vibe P1m specs:
5-inch HD display, 1280 x 720 @293ppi
1.0GHz MediaTek MT6753P quad-core processor
2GB RAM

Bluetooth 4.1 LE
GPS
USB On-The-Go Support
4000mAh battery with Quick Charge
Android 5.1 with Vibe UI v2.68

Compared to its bigger brother, the Vibe P1m has a smaller and lower-resolution panel, half the amount of on-board storage and 20% smaller battery pack rated at 4000mAh, which is far from a pushover.
Other than those three differences, most of the Vibe P1’s feature set was carried over to the Vibe P1m, making it an interesting proposition at $160. It will ship a month earlier than the Vibe P1, and is slated to make its market debut starting next month.
I don’t know why Mediatek comes out with a newer SOC that is crippled compared with the 6752.
