Smartphone manufacturers put a lot of faith in the annual Mobile
World Congress kicking off in Barcelona on March 2, but as usual,
tantalizing renders and details continue to leak out ahead of the big
event.
Taiwanese blog MXPhone (via Android Police) today reported that Lenovo is likely to arrive at MWC 2015
with one less surprise under its belt, thanks to a stack of images that
appear to spill the beans on the company's latest Vibe lineup.
Out
of the five models leaked, the Lenovo Vibe Shot looks the most
promising, a smartphone available in white, black or red trim and
powered by a Snapdragon 615 processor with 3GB RAM and 32GB of onboard
storage, expandable via micro-SD.
Featuring a five-inch 1080p HD
LCD display, the Vibe Shot resembles a swanky point-and-shoot digital
camera, but the 16MP sensor with optical image stabilization, tri-tone
flash and physical shutter button presumably will take better snapshots. Something for everyone (credit: MXPhone)
I feel your Vibe
Lenovo's
Vibe flagship for 2015 is the X3, with a luscious 5.5-inch 1080p
display with stereo speakers encased in an all-metal frame, plus a
whopping 20.7MP camera and a seemingly random fingerprint sensor located
around back.
However, the Vibe X3 isn't technically the biggest
in the batch: That honor goes to the Lenovo Vibe Max, a six-inch QHD
(2560 x 1440) monster featuring a stylus described as being close to the
"same size and resolution as the Nexus 6."
The
report offers only scant details on the Lenovo Vibe P1 aside from the
inclusion of a 4000mAh battery with quick-charge, while a beefier Vibe
P1 Pro steps up the juice to 5000mAh; both models are said to include
LTE and 64-bit, octa-core processors as well.
Last but not least,
the Lenovo Vibe S1 will be reported for duty at the low end of the
spectrum, with a selfie-friendly front-facing camera and a variety of
color options; all of the new Vibes will ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop, but we'll have to wait for MWC 2015 to find out exactly where (probably not the US), when and for how much.
