After much rumors, conjectures and teasers, Lenovo finally took the wraps off the Vibe X3 which is its latest and greatest phone for the year. This is the company's third generation model addition in its popular flagship-level Vibe X series. The phone was expected to be unveiled at MWC in the beginning of the year, but Lenovo missed the date to launch it only in November.

Two of the variants are powered by Snapdragon 808 chipset with 3GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage with microSD cards support for expanding the storage. The lower end version has an octa-core MediaTek processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory storage, and a microSD slot.

Another difference lies in the battery capacities, as the higher end versions have 3600mAh battery while the lower end houses a 3400mAh juicer.

Speaking of the speakers, Lenovo Vibe X3 boasts front-facing stereo speakers with Hi-fi 3.0, ESS Sabre ES9018K2M or Wolfson8281 DAC, separate speaker amplifiers, three noise-canceling mics and more, to offer superior audio quality.

As expected, the phone also features a fingerprint scanner, placed at the back.

As far as the price and availability are concerned, the Lenovo Vibe X3 is available on pre-order and will be released on November 25 in China. The 2GB/ 16 GB variant is priced for CNY 1,899 (approximately 19,660), the 3GB/ 32GB model costs $400 (approximately Rs 25,870), and the most premium model with 3GB/ 64GB has been launched for $470 (approximately Rs 31,044).
