Lenovo P2 review: The best battery life phone around
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The Lenovo P2 is really being sold on the strength of its battery, and the great news is that it lives up to the company’s hype, offering you days of usage and a power bank in a pinch. Throw in the premium design and build quality, and you have a phone that delivers tremendous value for money. It may not boast flagship performance, but by the time you hit your third day without charging, you’re not likely to care that much.

Lenovo P2 review
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
With great power comes great responsibility, said Spiderman's uncle once. Indeed, the expectations of the Lenovo P2 are somewhat higher than usual, but thankfully it delivers great performance across the board, and won't fail you whatever the task. For a mid-ranger, the P2 goes above and beyond its purpose and that speaks volumes about its capabilities. If you can live with the bland design, the Lenovo P2 is an excellent smartphone in pretty much every other aspect.

100% Lenovo P2 Review: In Depth
Source: Recombu English Archive.org version
The Lenovo P2’s awesomeness thankfully extends well past the ridiculously good battery life. For just £200 (or £23 per month on contract), you get a well-specced handset that’s great for enjoying media on the move, as well as reassuringly rugged. As a result, it's a definite rival to other value phones like the Moto G4.

Lenovo P2 Review

The Lenovo P2 is a mid-range killer when it comes to battery performance. As I had mentioned earlier, this smartphone provides the combination good display, performance, and a beastly battery life. If you are a power user, who needs to stay online 24X7, then this is for you. Wish Lenovo had used a faster processor like the Snapdragon 652.

80% Lenovo P2 Review: Battery in this one lasts long, and then lasts some more

But then there are also some advantages of going with the Lenovo P2. With P2, you get phenomenal battery life. You also get a better screen, better build quality, and a more attractive phone. At Rs 16,999 it is one of the most well-rounded I have seen, especially since the mighty Moto X Play. If you are eyeing it, go ahead. You won't be disappointed.

Lenovo P2 Review: Power Up, Fellas!
Source: Tech PP English Archive.org version
Successors EARN their right to be called so when they bring in considerable improvements to justify their existence. That is what the P2 is. Lenovo has got most of the important choices right here – the Snapdragon 625 processor, good RAM management, decent amount of UI customizations, AMOLED display, NFC, Notification LED, an awesome fingerprint scanner, reverse charging the battery, design and build quality, slim profile for such a huge battery, optimized software, TheaterMax support and good quality loudspeaker.

The Lenovo P2 is a worthy successor to the P1, and refines on almost every feature that made the latter a great buy. It's sturdily built, handles day-to-day tasks efficiently and has a battery that is nothing short of stellar. The only sore point of the Lenovo P2 is its camera experience, which could have been much better.

Lenovo P2 review: No more battery woes

Yes, if battery is your biggest pain point and you are a regular smartphone user with not much expectations when it comes to processing in. At the moment, the P2 appears like a great value for money device that will rise up to all your expectation for this price point. Buy it if you are okay carrying around a slightly heavy phone.

Welcome to the big battery club. This is the Lenovo P2, which boasts a 5,100mAh battery in a 5.5-inch screen device. And it's really not as chunky a phone as you might expect, which goes to show just how advanced battery tech has become.

Comment

Model: The P2 features a sturdy all-metal body with empty spaces above and below the display. Weighing 177 grams, this phone is slightly heavier than most others in its class, but this is not surprising because of its massive battery. Because of its weight, the P2 is perhaps more suited for two-handed use. Lenovo is also quick to point to the fact that the P2 at 8.3 mm is thinner than the P1, which measured 9.9 mm thick. The right side of the P2 houses the volume rocker and power button, while on the left there is the hybrid SIM tray, which accepts dual Nano-SIMs, and a slider switch that Lenovo calls a "power-saving key", which toggles the Ultimate Power Saver mode. There is a Micro-USB port along with speaker grilles on the bottom, and a 3.5 mm audio jack on top. The P2 has a 5.5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display, which is protected by 2.5D curved glass. The screen is vibrant with adequate colors and good visibility even under direct sunlight. Text and images appear sharp and the screen size makes the device well suited for media consumption. The physical home button below the display doubles as an integrated fingerprint scanner, which can also be long-pressed to launch Google Now. The P2 is also the first Lenovo phone to ditch its capacitive buttons and replaced them with on-screen navigation keys. For the cameras, the P2 sports a 13 MP primary rear camera with a Sony sensor and dual LED flash, plus a 5 MPsecondary camera on the front. Both cameras are quick when it comes to focusing, and can take decent low-light shots if there are light sources around.

The P2 features an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, which is coupled with either 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM. Both versions of the phone have 32 GB of internal storage. The storage capacity can be expanded up to 128 GB via a microSD card. However, the hybrid SIM slot means that users will have to choose between a second SIM and a microSD card. The P2 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Lenovo's Vibe Pure UI, which cuts down a lot of bloatware. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of third-party apps preloaded on the P2, which can be uninstalled if the user wants to do so. Under the hood, the P2 packs a whopping non-removable 5100 mAh battery, which can last over two days on a single charge with moderate use. Fast charging support also makes the P2 a winner. The phone can be charged fully in less than 90 minutes, which is impressive. One of the highlights of the P2 is its Ultimate Power Saver mode, which drastically extends battery life. The mode only allows basic usage such as calls, text messages, and radio, and helps keep the device alive for many more hours. This is particularly useful when travelling. The Vibe P2 ticks all the boxes for a perfect mid range device. Its low asking price is also a plus point.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
