[Tech & Gadgets]

 
Lenovo launched its new VIBE X2 on 9 December 2014 at Zouk Club KL This new model is the latest in Lenovo’s VIBE line of premium smartphones, and is what Lenovo claims is the world’s first layered smartphone, with a signature design which captures the essence of today’s multi-faceted lifestyle while giving consumers with the freedom to express their individual styles.
Lenovo is the first global handset manufacturer to ship a smartphone with the latest MediaTek MT6595 True Octa-core™ processor with 4G LTE. Based on a Heterogeneous Multi-Processing platform in big.LITTLE configuration, MediaTek applied its CorePilot technology to the VIBE X2 to unlock the full power of all eight cores. This allows the MT6595 to deliver superior multi-tasking performance and excellent, sustained performance-per-watt, allowing users to enjoy great multimedia features, fast 4G data transmission rates and long battery life on the VIBE X2.
The Vibe X2 comes with a new layered design accented with bold colours, which was meticulously designed, with countless samples of each hue were printed and matched to ensure a visually harmonious wall of shades. Three coats of paint are applied for each tone by high-tech robotic arms in clean rooms, giving a total nine coatings per phone. Expert hand craftsmanship is employed as a final touch to further refine the layers to achieve a smooth finish.

                        
Adding a fourth layer to the VIBE X2’s multi-layered concept is the VIBE XtensionTM click on cases. Lenovo introduced two VIBE XtensionsTM, VIBE X2 Battery and VIBE X2 Speaker which enhance and personalize consumers’ mobile experience. The VIBE X2 Battery is just 5.1mm and extends the battery life by up to 75 percent. An auxiliary micro-USB port simultaneously charges the case and device.
The VIBE X2 Speaker is the first click-on speaker in the market which provides JBL tuned hi-fi sound. It also has a convenient hands-free stand, wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a built-in battery for 5 hours of uninterrupted audio playback.
                        

Compared to the VIBE X, the 32GB VIBE X2 has twice the storage capacity, and 4G/LTE and 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity. For the APAC markets, the phone is further equipped with a dual SIM function.
“Uniquely crafted with three layers of distinctive colors, the VIBE X2 is the ideal smartphone for design trendsetters and style followers. Combined with the all-new VIBE XtensionsTM which gives the VIBE X2 its fourth layer, these innovations will drive Lenovo’s leadership in the PC Plus era,” said Khoo Hung Chuan, Country General Manager, Lenovo Malaysia. “Our partnership with MediaTek delivers powerful performance in the stylish VIBE X2 and this will appeal to our discerning customers who value best-in-class features in their smartphones.”
