If you read our Lenovo Vibe review a few days back and were taken by the design but wanted more power then the Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro might be what you are looking for.
The Vibe X2 Pro from Lenovo has the same layered design as the Mediatek powered phone that we reviewed a few days back, but has a boost in power and build quality to get it up to ‘Pro’ specs.
An alloy rear panel gives the Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro are more premium and substantial feel to the regular plastic bodied phone, while the Mediatek MT6595 chipset has been removed to make room for an octacore Snapdragon 615 running at 1.5Ghz with 2GB RAM.
Upfront is a 1920 x 1080 display measuring 5-inch, while the metal rear gets a 13 mega-pixel camera and single LED flash.
Lenovo also had dedicated selfie flash for the Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro that plugs in to the 3.5mm headphone hack of the phone to brighten up self portraits in the darkest of environments.
Pricing is going to be around $499, with plans to launch the phone in numerous locations around the world.
