14 DAY TRIAL // We first talked about the Lenovo Vibe P1 before MWC 2015, when preliminary information about the phone leaked online. We were anticipating Lenovo would unveil the device in Barcelona, but that didn’t really happen.
Then, the phone was spotted in TENAA, so we got to learn most of its specifications. And this week, the phone makes a comeback into the news. The folks over at Tech Gadgetsz are teasing us with a limited image of the Vibe P1 phone, which clearly showcases that the phone will arrive with a metal frame.
On top of that, we’re told the device will take advantage of the services of a large 5,000 mAh battery, which should keep the phone alive for a decent amount of time. This is actually the largest cell Lenovo has ever utilized to power one of its phones.
Purported specs of the Lenovo Vibe P1
Anyway, if you don’t remember, the Lenovo Vibe P1 is expected to arrive with a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution (294ppi) and Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top.
The P1 will come equipped with a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.3GHz plus an Adreno 306 graphics processing unit fitted with 2GB of RAM. Furthermore, the smartphone is said to pack 16GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded via microSD card slot.
The Lenovo Vibe P1 also includes an 8MP photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, as well as a secondary 5MP camera for video calls and selfies.
The smartphone is said to measure 143 x 72 x 9.35 mm and weigh 148 g with battery included.
The phone is expected to launch with Android 5.1 Lollipop and hopefully will be eligible to receive the Android M update, but we all know that Lenovo is extremely slow when it comes to providing software updates to its phones.
From the leaked image, one can notice that the volume rocker and power button are located on the right. Interestingly, when the phone went through TENAA, it was observed that a 4,000 mAh battery was living on the inside. Still, it appears Lenovo will be bumping up its capacity in order to provide a longer life cycle for the handset.
