Reviews for the Lenovo Vibe Shot

Lenovo Vibe Shot review
Source: GSM Arena Archive.org version
Several years ago the attractive design was just about the only standout feature of a mobile phone for the lack of other notable features. Today, the tables have turned. The features are numerous but the designs have become so plain that a good design, which is rich in character, can easily stick out. As if consumers have almost had their fill of advanced features and they are after that elusive combination of looks and functionality that few phones can deliver.

80% Lenovo Vibe Shot Review

The Lenovo Vibe Shot is a beautifully crafted smartphone for shutterbugs. The build and finish are great, and you get a vivid display, good battery life and a full-featured camera system. The software, while fluid for the most part, does have a number of glitches which Lenovo needs to fix soon. It would also have been nice if we had some modes for video recording other than the standard one. Finally, the phone is a fingerprint nightmare so keeping it clean is not the easiest thing to do. If you're looking purely at image and video quality then there are older options such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 (Review | Pictures) and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (Review | Pictures), which still pack a punch and are priced the same or even lower. However, they lack features such as the infrared focus system and OIS. Given its software bugs and limited video capabilities, the Vibe Shot feels a bit expensive at its current price of Rs. 25,000. If Lenovo can fix these things with future software updates and drop the price a little, then it will have a strong chance of disrupting the mid-range segment.

If camera is of prime importance to you, then you can consider picking up the Lenovo Vibe Shot. But, if a better overall performing smartphone is what you are looking for, then there are better options available in the market.

Comment

Model: Made to showcase camera capability, the Lenovo Vibe Shot is a classy looking smartphone with solid specifications. The unique design will certainly draw attention especially with the back panel that looks more like a point and shoot camera. Lenovo has perfectly blended colors and finishes to create the desired effect. There are 3 colors to choose from; crimson, pearl white and graphite grey. Display on the Lenovo Vibe is a beautiful 5.0 inch IPS LCD with an outstanding pixel density of 441 ppi. Users will definitely enjoy its clarity. The Android 5.0.2 Lollipop device comes equipped with an octa core setup consisting of two Cortex-A53 quad-core CPUs.

There is an Adreno 405 GPU, 3 GB of RAM and an internal storage of 32 GB and microSD support up to 128 GB. The Lenovo Vibe boasts a 16 MP f/2.2 OIS autofocus camera with triple-LED flash. Even the secondary front-facing camera is a high quality 8 megapixel sensor. Other features found on the device are Bluetooth 4.1, A-GPS, an FM radio module, and microUSB 2.0. Audio quality is decent with the included speaker, while the entire device weighs in at just 145 g. The Lenovo Vibe comes with a non-removable Li-Po battery rated at 3000 mAh.

This display is tiny. You will probably see very little on the screen and be able to use mini-resolutions.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

74%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
