Besides, they also have the same 5.5-inch Full HD screen and 3GB RAM, but other specifications are pretty different. Specifically, we will look at the chip, camera and battery. However, firstly, we can easily see that Lenovo Vibe X3 is a bit thicker and heavier than Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Anyhow, it won’t affect much the strength inside.

As for the chip, the Lenovo product uses a Snapdragon 808 processor which is also used in the flagship LG G4.

In terms of camera, we have to say Lenovo Vibe X3 is stronger than its competitor since it sports a combo of an up to 21MP rear and an 8MP front-facing snapper. Those who love taking photos will fall in love with the X3. On the other hand, the Note 3 has a common set of shooters including a 13MP and a 5MP cam, which seem good enough capture pics. Nonetheless, the Note 3’s battery is totally the winner. It is capable of 4,000mAh while the X3’s just has 3,600mAh (yet it is also a great number when compared with other smartphones on the market).

5 reasons why you should buy Lenovo Vibe P1

Moreover, you will also feel sturdy when holding it in your hands due to the battery sporting a huge capacity.

Further more, the speed of recognizing a fingerprint is fast, less than 1 second, and you do not have to press the home button to unlock the machine because the sensor will always be working. Though, remember that you should not use it with a wet finger.

3. HUGE battery

P1 is not only a fashionable device but also a strong one thanks to its big battery of 5,000 mAh. You can totally use it in 2 days with heavy use, just like what the company announced. Besides, P1 boasts fast-charging tech, so that you will not have to wait long until the phone is full of energy again.

4. Highly evaluated Lenovo Vibe P1 specs

In addition, there are 2 nano SIM slots supporting 4G network. In general, it has everything you need for a smart smartphone.

5. Interesting software

Running on Android Lollipop (5.1.1) OS out of the box, P1 sports a lot of interesting features as well functions such as Guest Mode, managing connectivity right on the notification bar, etc. Its user interface is beautiful and can be changed into different themes. One thing that should mentioned immediately is its exclusive set of Doit apps usually seen on many Lenovo products, helping you to duplicate your previous phone’s data and share files more easily without network.

The most notable different between Lenovo K80M and Lenovo K80 specs lies in the RAM and ROM. Lenovo K80M only sports 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage, instead of 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage on the original device.

lenovo k80m Even if this is a cheaper version, 2GB RAM and 32GB ROM seems great enough. Moreover, Lenovo K80M battery is still the huge 4000mAh one, which adds more charm to this handset.

Lenovo K80M camera is a 13MP sensor with 5MP front snapper. Moreover, you also get optical image stabilization for better photo quality.

At the moment, there is no info on Lenovo K80M release date outside China yet. However, Lenovo K80M price in the Philippines should be around PHP 8k. Considering this is a good deal, we hope Lenovo will bring the handset to us as soon as possible.

Lenovo Phab: iPhone 6 Plus competitor for sub PHP 15K

Lenovo Phab specs: Smartphone + tablet hybrid

Based on the name itself, Lenovo Phab is a hybrid device between a smartphone and a tablet, which comes with a huge display screen of 6.8 inch (while an average tablet is around 8 inch of size). The Lenovo Phab is targeted to users who love to have more space to browse but still handy and convenient to carry along. In terms of Lenovo Tab specs, the device features  an octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC, 2GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Lenovo Tab cameras are good also, packing a 13MP main camera and 5MP front-facing shooter.

Lenovo Phab

Lenovo Phab price in Philippines

The Lenovo Phab price is US$ 299. This means when come to our local market, the Lenovo Phab price in Philippines will be slightly higher than PHP 14K after tax and VAT. We hope it would stay in the sub PHP 15K as least.

Lenovo Phab design: another clone from iPhone 6S?

From a trustworthy brand, featuring generous screen, good combination of specs and an affordable price are what make this Lenovo Phab worth considering. However, there is another reason why Lenovo Phab is being talked about more than the device itself. Take a look at the Lenovo Phab design, do you feel any familiar? Yes, I am thinking what you are thinking also. Design-wise, this Lenovo smartphone + tablet hybrid looks really like an iPhone 6S with round rears and a fingerprint sensor.

Lenovo Phab

This is not the first time smartphone manufacturers got claimed as copying the design from each other, especially between Android smartphones and iPhone from Apple. It is understandable that the companies “get inspirations” either from their previous signature design or another famous one. However, is it a nice move from Lenovo to launch a smartphone with a similar design to iPhone? Especially when they already had their own brand name with many capable devices both in specs and design? I bet you don’t forget the Lenovo Vibe Shot which looks like a professional camera and very great specs, do you?

Best smartphones with removable battery: 3GB RAM,16MP & more

Removable batteries were, are, and will be here for some reasons. As higher end flagships nowadays usually go with a non-removable battery instead, removable batteries seem to lost its place. However, as a removable battery does some nice jobs to their phones, they will not be forgotten. Instead, some popular phones today still sport it, and the removable battery becomes something of a notable feature of the device. Therefore, Price Pony gives you a list of reasons why removable battery is still a good deal:

  • Hard reset: if your device freeze, and shows no sign of working again, a hard reset can be done by remove the battery.
  • Last longer, low cost of repairing: since a lot of phone problems associated with battery, you can prevent this by simple changing into a new one.
  • Versatile: when you travel and forget a charger, an extra battery is nice. Though this can be replaced by a power bank instead.

But what has caught their interests that Zuk Z1 is sold out so fast? Lenovo Zuk Z1 is a smart phone manufactured by Zuk, a company backed up by Lenovo. Zuk plans to out more amazing and higher tech smart phones in the future, such as the transparent touch screen smart phones.

Moreover, with Lenovo Zuk Z1 price in the Philippines just around PHP 13k, the device offers a lot of good specs. Lenovo Zuk Z1 design is beautiful also, with metal frame and glass.

Lenovo Vibe P1 shows up, 5,000 mAH battery confirmed

Remember when we first got to know about Lenovo Vibe P1 was in February, when the company leaked to launch 4 new Lenovo smartphones. Back then, we knew nothing more than a render picture of the Lenovo Vibe P1. Today, almost 6 months later, the internet spotted Vibe P1 smartphone being listed on a Chinese online retailer: Pandawill.com. Lenovo Vibe P1 price in China as published on the website is equivalent to PHP 14,469. This means we now have one more smartphone to list in the sub PHP 15K category.

So what is the first thing we would mention about the Vibe P1? Easy, the device packs huge 5,000 mAH battery inside the slim metal body. As you may already notice, Lenovo is known for producing smartphone flagships with impressive batteries. For instances, we have seen (and love) Lenovo K80 with 4,000 mAH  and Lenovo ZUK Z1 with 4,100 mAH not long before.

L enovo Vibe P1 specs

In terms of Lenovo Vibe P1 specs, the smartphone features a 5.5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 resolution. Housed inside the device is a Snapdragon 615 chipset and octa-core 1.5GHz CPU processor to power. Lenovo Vibe P1 also has 3GB of RAM and 16GB expandable storage. Last but not least, although not really outstanding, Lenovo Vibe P1 cameras pack 13MP and 5MP for rear and selfie shooters respectively – which is cool enough for most users.

Lenovo-Vibe-P1-is-listed-on-a-Chinese-e-commerce-site (1) Other than 5,000 mAH battery mentioned above, the Lenovo Vibe P1 goes with fast charge support to bring make it the most convenient for future users. It is said that Android 5.1 is pre-installed. However, since we already see Android 6.0 Marshmallow on the market, we strongly hope that Lenovo will soon get update to the newest OS for their newest device. Last but not least, the Lenovo Vibe P1 supports 4G LTE connectivity and offers Dual SIM with Dual Standby

Conclusion note

With impressive 5,000 mAH battery capacity and a combination of other good specs, Lenovo Vibe P1 price in PH is still in the sub PHP 15K category. We hope, compared to what it has to offer, the Vibe P1 price will please many users in our local market.
