Lenovo Vibe X2 First Look: A Mid Ranger Worth Your Wallet

|

Lenovo, which officially took control over Motorola Mobility from Google, is on cloud nine these days. At a press conference held in Delhi to mark the launch of the company's latest mid-end handset, the Vibe X2, Lenovo said Thursday that they sold 17 million units of smart phones in the last quarter. Those results didn't include the performances at Motorola.

 

It's true. Lenovo is slowly and gradually moving up the ladder. Traditionally, the leading Personal Computer brand in China, Lenovo's rising status in the handset market should be seen a classic example of how this Chinese company died and rose again.

Lenovo may be a big-time player, but according to the company the China market is slowly getting saturated. In 2012, Lenovo started selling their handsets outside of China, and now they're expecting miracles from markets like India - the world's third largest smartphone maker after China and the U.S.

The Vibe X2 looks remarkably different from Lenovo's previous handsets in its Vibe series. It is entirely new at the same time, particularly for its unique layered design. Admittedly, the phone seemed premium in nature, with very rectangular design.

It's acceptable, but far from what we're used to on most other Android handsets. At least for now, it's difficult to pass on final judgment just on the basis of a brief demo.
