Lenovo has just gone public with its Vibe Shot camera centric smartphone. The new smartphone combines an Android smartphone with pro camera features in a sleek metal shell which is intentionally made to look like a point and shoot camera.
Coming to specs, the Lenovo Vibe Shote packs a 5-inch Full-HD 1080p display up front with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on both the front and back. It is powered by the octa-core 64-bit Snapdragon 615 chipset with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage which is expandable up to 128 GB with a microSD card slot.
The main focus here is the 16 MP camera at the back with tri-color flash, Optical Image Stabilization, siz-piece lens and a BSI (BackSide Illuminated) sensor. The rear camera also comes equipped with infra-red focus which is said to be up to 2 times faster. The camera app on the Android 5.0 running handset too has taken a leap for the better with a pro shooting mode allowing you to manually set exposure, white balance, ISO among other things. There is a smart shooting mode as well, which decides the scene preference and orientation of the camera based on subject. There is a dedicated camera key here as well.
The Vibe Shot is made out of aluminium with Gorilla Glass on the front and back. Its impossibly thin at just 7.3mm considering it packs a 16 MP camera at the back, 8 MP shooter in the front and a capacious 2900 mAh battery. It is a dual-SIM smartphone and will retail at $349 (about Rs. 21500) when it will be available later in June.
