Meet the Lenovo Vibe X

Lenovo has been on a roll lately when it comes to their hardware design. The Lenovo K900 is still one of the best designed phablets ever made and they even followed this up with the super thin duo of the S920 and S820. Yesterday they added a new smartphone to their already formidable line-up — the Lenovo S960 Vibe X. Measuring just 6.9mm thick, the Lenovo Vibe X is a super slim smartphone that’s packed with power and high quality materials. Powering it is MediaTek’s turbo quad-core processor paired with a generous serving of 2GB RAM. This set-up should be more than enough to give a seamless and fluid user experience given the demanding 1080p 5-inch screen.

Here’s a quick look at the complete specifications.

Design-wise, the Lenovo Vibe X is a winner. However the market, especially the budget conscious segment, will be hesitant to bite given the price tag. At Php19,999 the Lenovo Vibe X goes up against global powerhouses that can offer more powerful processors and most importantly LTE connectivity.

If you want to make a “statement” though this is probably one of the phones that can do the job.
