After announcing two Android tablets at MWC 2015 yesterday, Lenovo is going a bit smaller today by announcing a pair of smartphones and a project.
Lenovo’s first new smartphone is the Vibe Shot, a handset with a heavy camera focus. The Vibe Shot’s got point-and-shoot-like design, a dedicated camera button on its side, and a 16-megapixel rear shooter with optical image stabilization, tricolor flash, six-piece modular lens, and a full-frame 16:9 low-light sensor. Lenovo has also integrated Smart presets and an advanced Pro mode that you can easily switch between. Around front, the Vibe Shot has an 8-megapixel camera.
When it comes to the “phone” part of the Vibe Shot cameraphone, the new Lenovo phone’s got a 5-inch 1920x1080 display, 64-bit 1.7GHz octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, microSD slot, and a 2900mAh battery.
The Lenovo Vibe Shot will launch in June with Android 5.0 and a price that starts at $349.
While the Vibe Shot is a focused on capturing photos, the Lenovo A7000 is meant for consuming content. It’s got Dolby Atmos sound technology that’ll offer more “vivid” sound with headphones. The A7000’s also got a 5.5-inch 1280x720 display, 1.5GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6752 processor, and a 2900mAh battery. Rounding out the A7000’s spec sheet is 8GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, 8-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front cameras, and Android 5.0 with Lenovo’s Vibe user interface.
The Lenovo A7000 will launch in March with a starting price of $169.
Finally, Lenovo’s Pocket Projector has a brightness of 50 lumens and can pump out a display up to 110 inches (854x450). The Pocket Projector can work by itself using its microSD card slot or it can be paired with a DLNA device running Android 4.3 or higher, Windows 8.1, or iOS. Lenovo says that the Pocket Projector’s battery will last for up to 2.5 hours and that its LED lamp has a life of up to 20,000 hours.
Expect to see the Lenovo Pocket Projector land in May starting at $249.
