Lenovo makes the Vibe X3 official: stereo speakers, dedicated audio chip, 21 MP camera
Lenovo just outed one of its best phone for the year in the form of a third edition in its popular Vibe X series. After teasing the Vibe X3's emphasis on audio capabilities, it seems that the phone will really deliver on that front.
The company is betting not only on front-facing stereo speakers, but the phone also features Hi-fi 3.0, with a dedicated ESS Sabre ES9018K2M or Wolfson8281 DAC, separate speaker amplifiers, three noise-canceling mics and so on - basically the whole shebang that Chinese makers usually dub "Hi-fi" in their phones, and more.
The Vibe X3 arrives with a 5.5" 1080p display, Snapdragon 808 or octa-core MediaTek (for the 16 GB version) processors with SensorHub co-processing unit, 2/3 GB of RAM and 16/32/64 GB of internal memory storage, plus a microSD slot. The multimedia capabilities will be further enhanced by a hearty 13 MP/21 MP Sony shooter on the back with phase-detection AF, depending on the version, dual LED, dual-tone flash, as well as a 5 MP or 8 MP front-facing cameras.
Lenovo usually does well with the battery capacity in its phones, and the Vibe X3 doesn't disappoint, housing a 3600/3400 mAh juicer in a 154 x 76.5 x 9.3 mm or 153 x 75.9 x 8.7mm (for the basic 16 GB version) metallic chassis. The handset might seem a bit tall for a 5.5-incher, but that's because of the two front-facing stereo speakers, while the inevitable nowadays fingerprint scanner is housed at the back.
The company is betting not only on front-facing stereo speakers, but the phone also features Hi-fi 3.0, with a dedicated ESS Sabre ES9018K2M or Wolfson8281 DAC, separate speaker amplifiers, three noise-canceling mics and so on - basically the whole shebang that Chinese makers usually dub "Hi-fi" in their phones, and more.
The Lenovo Vibe X3 will be released November 25th, and you can preorder it right now for the equivalent of $300 for the basic 2 GB RAM/ 16 GB storage X3, $400 for the 3 GB/32 GB combo, and the hefty $470 for the 3 GB/ 64 GB premium version of the phone. All in all, it seems like a pretty well-rounded phablet from Lenovo, any takers?
