Lenovo cuts 3000 jobs and gives Motorola control on mobile

Lenovo has long been on hiatus and has not released anything that can be really considered a big hit. The company is a relatively known name, and of course, their sales and products are not so bad. The problem is, there are more companies out there doing better, such as Xiaomi or Meizu. If Lenovo does not want to lose in this market, they need to improve their products. Moreover, as you all know, Lenovo has just bought off Motorola, so it is nothing new that Motorola will take over Lenovo’s mobile manufacturing.

Job-Cuts_large Lenovo has planned to lay off more than 3000 of its employees. According to reports, although their revenue has increased 3 % this year, it hasn’t reached the target of $11,29 billions. Additionally, their net income decreases dramatically, as being only half of the same period last year. This is why Lenovo decides to re-arrange their work and structure to get the company out of this red light zone. Cutting down on work force is the first move.

motorola_lenovo

Not only employees, but their products will have to change as well. If Motorola is to take over the mobile business, we think Lenovo can do something different, like an advanced step forward. Motorola will continue Lenovo’s mobiles, while Lenovo will focus on computers. This seems to be a good move, considering what the two divisions are good at.

However, let us wait until the new devices are out, to see how this arrangement will go. If it is indeed the decision, then hooray, more high quality handsets will be out for us to choose. If it does not go anywhere, then of course Lenovo would suffer. Competition in the market is really hard.

You can also check more about Lenovo products such as Lenovo Vibe Shot or Lenovo Zuk Z1 to see how their products are.

Lenovo Zuk Z1: 3GB RAM & 4100mAh for only PHP 13K

Looking for affordable phones? You may have heard of Asus Zenfone 2 series or other smart phones pricing under 10k with good specs, but there are more and more released each day. Therefore, each day provides a new choice for your money to spend wisely on. And for today, we suggest the newest handset Zuk Z1 from Lenovo and its cooperator.



zuk-z1-840x480

ZUK Z1 is a smart phone developed by ZUK, which is a company sponsored by Lenovo.

lenovo-zuk-z1-1

Zuk Z1 design

At first glance, Lenovo Zuk Z1 design is quite beautiful with its curved corners. The way the home button is positioned makes the phone looks more appealing. Additionally, the Home button acts as a fingerprint scanner too. It seems fingerprint security is more popular nowadays, not only on high end devices like Sony Xperia Z5 anymore.

Zuk Z1 display is a 5.5’’ FHD screen, which is great for those who want a big display for viewing experience. Android Lollipop will provide the user interface, so of course it will look nice.

lenovo-zuk-z1-2

Zuk Z1 specs also list out Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 2.5GHz processor, which is an another amazing thing on this handset. Together with 3GB RAM and 64GB internal memory, there is nothing Lenovo Zuk Z1 can NOT do for you.

lenovo-zuk-z1-3

Lenovo Zuk Z1 camera is a 13MP Sony sensor with an aperture of f/2.2. It also features optical image stabilization for more high quality photos.

lenovo-zuk-z1-5
Zuk Z1 specs are very powerful for its price, another rival to Asus Zenfone or Meizu M2 Note?

Zuk Z1 camera features do not end there. Its front camera is a 8MP one, a plus for those who love taking selfies.

Moreover, Zuk Z1 battery is a huge 4100mAh. This capacity is much more larger than that on many popular mid end or high end smart phones.

lenovo-zuk-z1-4

For other features, Lenovo Zuk Z1 supports USB Type C, in case you wonder.

Lenovo Zuk Z1 price in the Philippines will be around 13k. Since this is such a great deal, we hope Lenovo will bring it to our country soon.

 

Lenovo Vibe X3 benchmark review: 21MP 3GB RAM & fingerprint scanner

At the present, Sony and Samsung, the two big names from Asia have been promoting for their lastest phones very excitingly. However, not only these two, Lenovo is also preparing for their new products. Recently, we heard about Lenovo Vibe Shot being available on July 29. Lenovo Vibe Shot design is unique, and the phone has many appealing specs. Today, let us take a look at another Lenovo phone: Lenovo Vibe X3, which has appeared on GFX benchmark not too long ago.

x3-vibe-spec-moi-1

It seems that Lenovo Vibe X3 display will be a 5’’ inch IPS display, featuring Full HD resolution. It will sport a Snapdragon 808 SoC hexa core 1.8Ghz processor and 3GB RAM. With an internal storage of 32GB and Qualcomm Adreno 413 as the GPU, Lenovo Vibe X3 promises a smooth and powerful performance to many users. Especially, if you are a gamer, Lenovo specs are enough to convince you. Since Android Lollipop is the Operating system, we’re assured that this phone will look amazing for its user interface.

Vibe-X3

Moreover, it may support microSd, which is a very important feature.

Vibe-X3 (1)

Lenovo Vibe X camera will be a 21MP one with dual led flash and an 8MP sensor on the front. It seems Lenovo Vibe X camera can also record 4k video, which is a plus. The front camera can record Full HD video as well.

Vibe-X3 (2)

For other features, we’ve heard about a fingerprint scanner on the back of Lenovo Vibe X3. Additionally, rumours in the past showed that it will sport some kind of high tech audio system.

However, none of this is official, so we do not know Lenovo Vibe X3 release date or its price yet. Hopefully, it seems the phone will probably be announced this year, so look forward to knowing Lenovo Vibe X3 price soon. Until that time, you can check out Lenovo Vibe Shot here.

Lenovo Launching Vibe Shot PH On July 29 for the first time

Lenovo Vibe Shot PH is around the corner

We bet you still remember the phone/camera hybrid from Lenovo : the Vibe Shot with 16MP camera and beautiful design. After being available to order on Lazada, finally the phone is ready to hit the shelves on retail stores, starting July 29.

Lenovo Vibe Shot PH

 

 

The Vibe Shot PH makes everyone curious. It features a mid-range processor with a premium camera sensor. The Vibe Shot PH design looks like a professional camera with point-and-shoot lens. There also said to be more affordable version of this beast: the Lenovo Vibe Shot HD variants. So we are wondering whether Lenovo will launch both of them to our local market.

The Vibe Shot Philippines coming to retail stores is an exciting news since users can then come and test the phone by themselves to see whether it works smoothly enough for them, especially the most favorite part: camera sensor. So mark your calendar and find a good store to see, touch, feel and experience the device.

For Vibe Shot PH retail price, availability and packaging: we will update when the device arrives in our market.

Lenovo Vibe Shot HD version – same camera sensors, less display for PHP 13K found locally

We have been in love with the Lenovo Vibe Shot ever since the first piece of information about it was leaked over the internet. The device was featured to appear like (and actually work like) a professional camera inside a smartphone.

The Lenovo Vibe Shot cameras are impressive with 16MP and 8MP resolutions with many special sensors. Visually, it looks very similar to a handcam with the rear camera a bit protrusive.

Lenovo Vibe Shot HD version: same camera hybrid with lower display

The Lenovo Vibe Shot originally comes with very high display resolution and a price tag of PHP 15,729. Recently, Lenovo just launched a cheaper version of the flagship for only PHP 12,990. This device is called the Lenovo Vibe Shot HD version.

lenovo-vibe-shot

You will have the same amazing camera hybrid and premium design. However, with almost PHP 3,000 downsize, you will have to sacrifice the beautiful FHD display. Besides the display resolution, most of other Lenovo Vibe Shot HD specs are the same as its brother.
