Lenovo enlists Beethoven to tease the Vibe X3, out November 16 with stereo speakers and Hi-fi 3.0

Lenovo is not done for the year, it seems, and will be releasing the third player in its Vibe X series come November 16th, if a leaked teaser is any indication. The Vibe X3 is expected to place a special emphasis on audio capabilities, suggested by Beethoven and his piano on the posted teaser.

Thus far it seems that Lenovo is betting on front-facing stereo speakers, judging from the Vibe X3's certification pass. If you remember, the X3 first leaked back in the spring as part of Lenovo's roadmap for the year, and then it was said it will feature Hi-fi 3.0, so it's not only the stereo speakers that Lenovo will be betting on. There might also be a dedicated DAC audio chip, amplifiers, and the whole shebang that Chinese makers usually dub "Hi-fi" in their phones.

The Vibe X3 is expected to arrive with a 5.5" 1080p display, Snapdragon 808, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory storage. The multimedia capabilities will be further enhanced by a hearty 21 MP shooter on the back, dual-LED, dual tone flash, and an 8 MP front-facing camera. Lenovo usually does well with the battery capacities in their phones, but for now the one in the X3 remains a mystery.

November 16th is next Monday, though, so not much left to wait before the phone bares it all. Check out some of its photos from the leaked roadmap back in the spring - as you can see, a fingerprint scanner is taking a prominent place on the back, too.
