Lenovo Vibe X2 - as a sip of fresh air in the world of phones with the same design. Lenovo Vibe smartphone line is positioned as a series of powerful and exquisite smartphones. According to the results of the tests, we can say that Lenovo VIBE X2 fully justifies such a description.
Firstly, this design of the device is thin and lightweight, the puff enclosure immediately attracts attention. Secondly, he has a good ratio of characteristics and prices. For 25,000 rubles. You will receive a bright, five-lone Full HD display with a mode of operation in gloves, a powerful "stuffing", comparable to flagship smartphones and excellent for the "medium" segment of the chamber. You can view high-quality photos and high quality videos on a bright screen. The 8-core processor will allow you to play any modern games, in everyday use, he also showed himself well. Shot on both Lenovo VIBE X2 cameras is not ideal, but quite consistent with the declared pixels.
However, the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone does not have NFC or MHL and OTG support at the USB connector. The volume of the built-in memory is limited to 32 GB, without the ability to expand its memory card. Time of autonomous work can not be called "excellent", it is rather secondary. The quality of the sound of anchor headphones leaves much to be desired.
In general, Lenovo Vibe X2 is a stylish, unusual and powerful smartphone. Despite the disadvantages and for the presence of strong competitors with the same price tag, we can recommend Lenovo Vibe X2 to purchase.
Dimensions - 4.2.
Lenovo Vibe X2 is a stylish and compact 5-inch smartphone. Dimensions of the device 140 × 69 mm, the thickness of the housing in some places up to 7.6 mm. In size, it will be comparable to Huawei Honor 6, but Honor 6 is slightly thicker. Weight VIBE X2 - 121 grams, lighter than 4.7-inch iPhone 6 (128 grams) or 4.6-inch Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (128 grams). As you can already understand, the smartphone is compact and thin. By the way, the camera lens does not stick out of the housing, as it is often found in some popular thin smartphones. Lenovo Vibe X2 is well in hand, but not very comfortable to use one hand.
Lenovo Vibe X2 has an unusual original design. Smartphone as if collected from four panels: the top panel is black, the remaining three layers of multicolored. If you look at the side, then something reminds "Extended" flag of Germany. In general, it looks unusual, the appearance of the smartphone will definitely have to do girls. Today, Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone can be bought in white and gold colors. There are still color options, but in Russia they, at least, are not sold yet. You can buy accessories to the smartphone: Case, Special Speaker and Charging.
The Lenovo Vibe X2 Plastic Case, the build quality is high, but we noticed that it squeezes slightly at a pressure. The back is made of a pleasant to the touch of smooth plastic. By the way, in two weeks of use, it almost did not scratch.
Screen - 4.3.
One of the advantages of Lenovo Vibe X2 is a good five-year display. Display resolution - 1920 × 1080 pixels, high for such a diagonal. The type of matrix - IPS, there is a oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating and protective glass Gorilla Glass 3. Pixel density - 441 per inch, this is enough for a clear image on small fonts and icons.
The maximum display brightness, in our opinion, is low - up to 328 cd / m2. However, if you go to a special "high brightness mode", then you can get 484 cd / m2, which is already very bright. Another thing is that this mode must be sought separately in the settings. The minimum brightness of white at 5 cd / m2, the display will definitely not be loosened in the dark. This is one of the best adjustable brightness ranges. The display has avtuarity, we checked her work - it triggered quickly, but only in the "hard" mode, without being able to adjust the brightness ranges using a slider. In the sun reading from the display it was difficult, but not critical. Display viewing angles are not maximum, but wide enough for comfortable work with a smartphone.
The fatty coating works well. This does not mean that the screen does not fall at all: during the use of the phone, prints remained on the screen, but they appeared not so quickly and erased.
Camera
In the Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone, the main and 5 megapixel front chambers are installed in the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone. The main chamber is equipped with a LED flash, autofocus, HDR mode, face recognition and smiles, with the possibility of shooting panoramas and much more. Compared to Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, there are fewer settings, the camera resolution is also less, but agree, the price tag is much more affordable.
Maximum photo resolution - 4160 × 43120 pixels. The camera removes Full HD video at a speed of 30 frames per second. Audio is written in stereo mode. The camera interface is simple and understandable, you do not have to search for the desired settings for a long time. The quality of photos is good and corresponds to a high number of megapixels. The camera copes with light well and even on frames in the dark is not so much noise. At the same time, in detail and sharpness, it is somewhat inferior to the flagship chambers. In this you can make sure that I looked at the examples of the photo taken on the smartphone. Also in the tests, we did not always work from the first time to focus on the desired object, so we recommend doing a few doubles. It is good that the camera quickly removes.
5 megapixel front camera of the phone is enough for video links, it is freely suitable for selfie. The camera has no autofocus and flashes. But, as we wrote earlier, on CES 2015 Lenovo introduced a special accessory to the phone - a separate flash for selfie Vibe Xtension Selfie Flash. There is no free sale yet, and it does not understand whether. Also, the front camera removes Full HD video at a speed of 30 frames per second.

Working with text - 3.0
To our surprise, the phone uses a standard keyboard from Google. The company redraws the interface, but until I got to the keyboard, even for the flagship Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, the manufacturers did not paint their own keyboard.
In general, the keyboard from Google is good. When typing, you can enjoy continuous input. To switch between languages \u200b\u200bthere is a separate key. On the icons there are no markup of additional characters, only numbers on the top row of the keys. Note that in the "portrait" mode, typing texts with one hand real and quite convenient.
Internet - 3.0
A Google Chrome and Yandex.Browser are preset as browsers on the Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone. The first has support for synchronizing tabs with a desktop version of the browser, the second is the "turbo" mode to quickly download pages, the ability to close the tabs automatically when you exit the browser, etc. If you need read mode or automatic text configuration, you can always Download and install another loved browser. As tests showed, the smartphone copes well with several open tabs, it works quickly and does not "slow down".
Interfaces
In the Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone, there is support for all popular wireless interfaces except NFC and IR port. Separately, we note the presence of a two-way Wi-Fi and high-speed Wi-Fi standard (802.11 AC). The smartphone has a Bluetooth module with A2DP profile support for audio transmission, the ability to work in Russian LTE frequencies (CAT 4 to 150 Mbps), A-GPS and GLONASS.
The only minus is a slow GPS module, he has a long cold start, which is gone a couple of minutes. Otherwise, everything functioned clearly. For a full flagship set, only NFC is missing. The phone is equipped with a slot for micro-SIM cards, a micro-usb connector, but, unfortunately, OTG and MHL are not supported, connect the periphery or transmit via USB high definition video will not work.
Multimedia - 3.0
Multimedia Features Lenovo Vibe X2 can be called average. Smartphone supports common video formats and codecs, loses video in high quality, up to Full HD video. However, in our tests, he could not run, for example, FLV video format. There is no choice of subtitles and audio tracks in the built-in video player, as well as any other settings, except for the list with playback history. The audio player loses popular MP3 and AAC formats, as well as WAV, but does not lose AC3 and FLAC (the latter can be run via the file manager). A standard Play music application is pre-installed on the smartphone, not the most convenient one. Complete to Lenovo Vibe X2 are headphones, but, in our opinion, they have low quality, for such a price I would like the headphones better.
Battery - 2.8.
The Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone is equipped with a capacity of 2300 mAh battery. According to today's standards, the container will not call the big, so the Huawei Honor 6 is 3100 mAh battery, although it is only slightly thicker. Formal capacity - this is not all but the smartphone showed itself in the tests on the battery? The battery was not bad for our tests, the results are comparable to the LG Nexus 5 battery (the same 2300 mAh). Phone Lenovo Vibe X2 reproduced HD video at the maximum brightness of about 6 and a half hours, which is not bad. In listening mode, the music lasted "only" 43 hours. If you compare with Nexus 5, the latter discharged faster in the videoest, but longer in the music player mode.
As for daily use - it was enough for the day "with the tail", but until the end of the day he did not reach it. Note that the smartphone has quite wide "power" settings - emergency mode (only calls and SMS messages are available), disabling applications in sleep mode, saving energy for the screen, etc.
Complete to the smartphone there is a charger at 1.5 A.
Productivity - 3.9.
The device uses the MEDIATEK MT6595M True8Core platform, as can be understood from the name, eight-core - four cores of 1.7 GHz and four cores of 2 GHz. The PowerVR G600 corresponds to the graph, the amount of RAM - 2 GB. The performance of a smartphone at the highest level, "filling" - one of the most productive for today, in our tests, she perfectly coped with heavy games and benchmarks. Thanks to the optimization of the shell and powerful "hardware", the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone works quickly, and this applies to both embedded applications and third-party programs. The phone can be viewed as a game platform, in our tests of the game Nova 3, Dead Trigger, Minion Rush and Asphalt 8 loaded quickly and went smoothly even at maximum settings. In daily use, the smartphone worked quickly.
In the benchmarks, the Smartphone Lenovo Vibe X2 showed high, flagship results. In AnTutu Benchmark, he received points comparable to Sony Xpeira Z3 Compact, - 45,400 points, and Ice Storm Unlimited from 3DMark is a little lower - on average 12243 points.
Memory - 2.5
The volume of the built-in memory at the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone is 32 GB, of which approximately 26.2 GB is available to the user - most users will have enough of this amount of memory. As with many smartphones of the line, the memory card slot is not provided and this is a significant minus of the phone.
Features
Smartphone Lenovo Vibe X2 works under Android 4.4.2 OS and a branded shell from Lenovo. The manufacturer plans to update OS to Android Lollipop in mid-2015. The appearance of the system interface is changed, the dialer was redrawn, replaced the launcher, etc. A little unusual that there is no separate menu with a list of all applications. Also, the smartphone has separate "special" settings, where a lot of interesting things are hidden. For example, the output of the "Smart Menu" button with quick access to a number of applications, "Awakening" display using a double touch, a gesture to start the camera and much more.
The main feature of the smartphone is an unusual design. Due to the thin puff enclosure of Lenovo Vibe X2, it looks fresh and unusual. Also among features, let's call support for high-speed Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, LTE, work mode in gloves.
Competitors
In February 2015, the average price for Lenovo Vibe X2 is approx. 25,000 rubles, by the way, the initially recommended price was 15,000 rubles. Smartphone price, characteristics and diagonal of 5 inches look like Huawei Honor 6 or LG Nexus 5.
All three smartphones are made of plastic and qualitatively assembled. Only Honor 6 is covered with glass - it looks stylish, but glass slides and doomed to collect small scratches. Thinnight turned out to be VIBE X2, in short and already - Nexus 5. The most unusual appearance was at Lenovo Vibe X2, while Honor 6 looks, in our opinion, isless, and Nexus 5 is like a typical LG smartphone.
According to the "stuffing", all three smartphones are approximately the same, although the "filling" of Nexus is older, but from Qualcomm. On VIBE X2, one of the top chipsets is MediaTek, and Huawei has its own KIRIN 920 and 3 GB of RAM. Lenovo Vibe X2 showed the best results in games and tests. However, with daily use, you are unlikely to notice the difference between smartphones.
Nexus 5 cameras are a little behind, and two others can be said, parity. Displays of all three smartphones are similar, but Nexus 5 has no mode of operation in gloves. By the time of autonomous work with a margin leads Huawei Honor 6, but this could be expected, based on the specifications. The volume of built-in memory from Lenovo VIBE X2 is 32 GB, which is enough for most users. Nexus 5 is a choice of 16 or 32 GB, and Huawei Honor is 6 less, 16 GB, but there is a memory card slot.
Most likely, the core selection criterion can be the appearance, design of models. If you want Android 5.0 and fast updates - it is better to buy LG Nexus 5; If you need a powerful "filling" and an unusual appearance - Lenovo VIBE X2; If you need a "long-playing" battery and a memory card slot - Huawei Honor 6.
Lenovo began its journey on the smartphone market from the release of models in which the rate was made to afford. To date, becoming a noticeable player, Lenovo begins to explore new opportunities for expanding its share, gradually adding a more expensive model to the portfolio of smartphones. Lenovo Vibe X2 came to the review, in which the company tried to highlight not so much due to the characteristics, as with the help of unusual design. Let's see if Lenovo succeeded to create a smartphone that can be interesting not only by price and characteristics, but also appearance.
The smartphone comes in a box made in several colors, and even she tells us that inside us is not a completely simple phone. In order to open the box there is a special loop, pulling out access to the upper compartment.
It has a device itself, paper documentation, clipboard for opening a slot for a SIM card, a bumper made of transparent plastic and a protective film for the screen. In the lower compartment there is a vacuum headset, a microUSB cable and a power supply for 1.5 A. As you can see the kit more than good.
Appearance and ease of use
The size of the smartphone housing cannot be called small, as it is equipped with a 5 inch screen. The dimensions of the device are 140.2x68.6x7.27 mm, and the weight of only 120 grams.

The main feature of the smartphone is a multilayer case. Here with her and let's start. When looking at the sidewall in any color of VIBE X2, a gradient consisting of three colors is excellent (not counting the dark display frame). This is what makes the appearance of the device unusual. It is worth noting that these are truly separate layers, and not painted whole plastic insert.
A golden coloring option came to us on the review, but it is worth remembering that there are two more - red and white.
Otherwise, everything is used - the front side is covered with protective glass. In the upper part there is a spoken speaker, sensors of approximation and illumination, the lens of the front camera on 5 MP and the LED of the missed events. Below - hardware touch keys with backlit.
On the right sidewall - the volume and enable control key, and on the left - slot for the Microsim SIM card format. The top is a 3.5 mm audio jack, and at the bottom - the microUSB microphone and connector.
On the back of the main chamber lens on 13 MP with flash, an additional microphone, a manufacturer logo, multimedia speaker and contacts for accessories.
A removable battery is available among accessories, which doubles the container, and the thickness adds only 5.1 mm and the two-channel Hi-Fi JBL speaker, which in turn increases the thickness of 8.3 mm, and connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth.
If we talk about the quality of manufacture, then in this regard, the smartphone shows itself very well, not least due to the unintended corps. The only thing that did not like is that the mechanical keys are luftyt. A smartphone came to us after several colleagues in the workshop and it is very noticeable.
The screen, despite the use of protective glass, has already been covered with small scratches, and the back side also does not look like on a new device, because for lovers to keep the appearance of the device is to use the complete film to protect the screen and transparent case.
The location of the mechanical keys is very convenient. Everyone is located where and expect to find. The convenience of use is influenced by quite sharp corners, but this is the whole thing of habits. After a few days of discomfort, you do not notice at all.
Operating system and shell
The smartphone is running Android 4.4 paired with the Lenovo Launcher V6 branded shell. The appearance of the shell is already familiar to us on the previous devices of the company, visiting us on the test. We just say that the device works very quickly, while the shell has many settings and interesting features that can satisfy any user.
Hardware platform
LENOVO VIBE X2 is running the 8-core MediaTek MT6595M processor, which consists of four ARM Cortex-A17 cores operating at 2.0 GHz and four ARM Cortex-A7 cores with a frequency of 1.5 GHz. As a result, we get a typical solution performed using ARM Big.little technology. It is worth noting that the index "M" at the end of the processor name indicates that we have the weakest MT6595 processor configuration, which is characterized by low frequencies. The role of a video adapter is PowerVR 6200 operating at a frequency of 450 MHz. The amount of RAM is equal to 2 GB, of which about 1.1 GB are available during normal use. The built-in memory is 32 GB, but the user remains about 26 GB and all it is available for installing applications.
Competitant This processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (8974ac). I agree that confidence in Qualcomm processors is much larger, but the results of benchmarks and the real impressions of the device with the MediaTek MT6595 processor say that there are no reasons for distrust.
The performance of the device is more than enough for smooth operation of the interface and the launch of demanding games. For example, a well-known Real Racing 3 game runs on the maximum settings without sending FPS. The rest of the game are also easily launched, but it is worth considering that with a long use of a smartphone under high loads, its body heats up.
Wi-Fi and GPS work without problems. Data transmission takes place as quickly as possible, and the satellite search speed no longer causes questions. Quality voice dynamics is not the best. At maximum volume, the sound becomes sharp and squeaky. But the sound quality of the multimedia dynamics is quite good, but everything spoils its location on the back side. If you put a smartphone on the table, then the speaker completely overlaps, which is very jammed sound, with the result that the call is easy to skip. The quality of vibration is good, but you should not rely on it. Lovers listen to music in headphones will appreciate the sound, because he is really good.
We could not check video codecs with an embedded player using Antutu Video Tester, so used the old method. As a result, we can conclude that the phone easily copes with all popular video codes.

Autonomy
The capacity of the built-in battery is only 2300 mAh. Despite this, during moderate use, it can hold out one day with data transfer enabled and automatic brightness. If you still restrict ourselves to basic capabilities, you can count on two days of autonomous work with 4 hours of active screen and constantly enabled data transfer. If this is not enough, then there is an "emergency mode" in which only calls and SMS messages are available. Naturally, using a smartphone to the maximum - play heavy games and watch a video, then be prepared to charge the device in the evening.
Display
The smartphone is equipped with a 5-inch IPS screen with full HD resolution. There is a oleophobic coating, thanks to which fingerprints are easily erased. Pixel density is 441 per inch.
In sunny weather, the programmatic possibilities for increasing brightness and contrast are saved. Thanks to it, the information on the screen remains visible even under the right rays of the sun. The automatic brightness adjustment sensor behaves adequately, smoothly adjusting the brightness when it is really necessary, while not overgoing and without understate it.
One of the features of the smartphone is advanced screen settings. In addition to the standard mode, there is still an adaptive mode, a high-brightness mode, customizable and advanced mode on the street. In a customizable mode, it is possible to adjust the tone and saturation.
Screen measurement results showed the following: The maximum screen brightness is - 373 kD / m² in normal mode and 564 kD / m² in high brightness mode, the minimum value is 5.3 kD / m² in normal mode and 13.7 kD / m² in mode Increased brightness, the contrast of the display is 1: 792 as usual. As can be seen from the results, it is not surprising that even in sunny weather information on the display is easily distinguishable.
Calibration check screen shows us that the color coverage of the display is much larger than SRGB. Green and red shifted in the direction of warmer shades. The graph of color temperature really pleased with the minimum deviation from the reference value. This is extremely rare. But the gamma curve did not work at all. The graph is noticeable significant racing.
As a result, it turned out very good, I would even say the right display. It has absorbed both the right temperature and high brightness indicators. For lovers to read at night, the screen will also not seem bright.
Cameras
The smartphone is equipped with two chambers - front-line 5 MP and the main on 13 megapixel. Video recording features are quite wide - the main camera writes in the resolution of Full HD, and the front-HD. If the front is a completely ordinary camera with a fixed focal length, which is useful to selfie lovers or to communicate on Skype, then the main thing is much more interesting. There is a manual adjustment of contrast, saturation, sharpness, exposure and others.
The quality of the photos themselves is not the best, but good. In general, the detailing is smooth throughout the frame, the noise is working correctly. Even at night, pictures are good. However, you yourself can make sure.
