14 DAY TRIAL // Lenovo announced the world's first dual selfies camera smartphone, the Vibe S1, back in September at IFA 2015 trade fair. However, the smartphone was made available for purchase only this week for Indian customers.
Those who are into selfies will be pleased to know that Lenovo Vibe S1 is now available for purchase in India for Rs 15,999 outright. Customers can choose between Pearl White and Midnight Blue color options and can be had exclusively via Amazon India.
The main selling point of the Vibe S1 is the dual camera combo in the front that features an 8-megapixel camera and a secondary 2-megapixel photo snapper, both positioned above display.
When using both cameras in the front, users can apply a blur effect to the pictures. Otherwise, they work exactly like any other selfie camera.
At the back, Lenovo Vibe S1 packs a 13-megapixel camera with autofocus, dual-tone LED flash, BSI sensor and video recording.
It comes with glass coated back cover
But Lenovo's Vibe S1 is not just about the cameras. The phone comes equipped with a more than decent 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6752 processor, a Mali T760-MP2 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM.
It also packs 32GB of storage that can be expanded up to 128GB via microSD card slot. The Vibe S1 sports a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating.
Lenovo Vibe S1 comes preloaded with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system and drains energy from an average 2,500 mAh battery. It offers both 4G LTE and Hybrid Dual (nano + nano) SIM support.
“We are dedicated to innovation by bringing in the latest hardware and software technologies, features and proficiency to the market with every device, based on constant feedback by consumers.
“The VIBE S1 is in line with Lenovo’s ideals of combining superior aesthetics with innovative technology that gives optimum value to its customers,” said Sudhin Mathur, director, Smartphones, Lenovo India.
