After it's launch earlier, I was fortunate to bring something in my hub as I can show you the unboxing and first impressions of the Lenovo Vibe Shot.
I love the overall design of the box of the said device. The word "vibe" gave some emphasis on what we can expect inside of it.
The front has 8 MP AF front camera, 5 inch IPS Full HD LCD display standard Android buttons. The back has 16 MP AF rear camera with OIS, IR sensor, 6P lens with blue filter and sapphire cover, and Lenovo Vibe Shot logo. All of the sides mentioned on this part are covered with Gorilla Glass 3. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor and LTE that can work on both Globe and Smart (as I already tested)
The top has noise cancelling mic and 3.5 mm. audio jack. The bottom has dual speakers and micro USB port. The pin hole mic mght be hiding on one of the dual speakers. The one that I had is the graphite gray variant.
At the left (top of the picture) comes with dual micro SIM tray and micro SD slot. The right (below part) has volume rocker, power/unlock button, switch on Auto/Pro mode (as this is a camera-centric phone, you can switch from auto to pro mode and vice versa in one go) and physical shutter button
The package includes SIM and micro SD ejector pin, micro USB to USB cord, USB plus with 5V 1.5 amperes of output, screen protector, earphones, manual and clear protective back casing.
First impressions: The device is a only a bit heavy compared to other 5 inch that I had on other global brands but I have to consider that for it's 5 inch device that it packed a huge 3,000 mAh battery. Of course, you have to consider the premium build of the device. I am happy that Lenovo decided for dual micro over dual nano SIM plus the micro SD expansion. Out of 32 GB, I can say that it has unified storage with over 26 GB. I have to confirm if the 2nd SIM slot can also do LTE.
