Lenovo really managed to impress us with two more big launches at the IFA 2014 – the Lenovo Vibe X2 and Vibe Z2. Both the Vibe X2 and Vibe Z2 dress to impress with their technology.

But how do you really impress customers, in a world where most Android Phones simply look the same? Lenovo’s idea is – Layered Design.

The Vibe X2 consists of four different layers, only the front layer is a bit smaller. You can also add on different layers as extensions, which make the phone design quite innovative.

While this hardly influences technology, it enables Lenovo to use different materials and the Vibe X2 will launch in charcoal, gold, white, red and bamboo ( with a bamboo wood rear cover)

Lenovo Vibe X2 – MT6595m True8Core

We have heard a lot of rumors and hype about the Lenovo Vibe X2. The Lenovo Vibe X2 sports Mediatek’s new TrueOcta Core MT6595m CPU, a clocked down version of the MT6595 that we also saw launched on the new MEizu MX4. The MT6595m is based on big.LITTLE Technology and comes with 2 sets of four cores. One Set is based on four high performance Cortex A17 cores and one set of 4 power efficient Cortex A7 cores.

On top of the MT6595m Mediatek processor clocked at 2.0 GHz and PowerVR G600 the Lenovo Vibe X2 gets 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory. With those specs the Vibe X2 is not directly targeted at todays flagships but more in the upper mid segment.

The Lenovo Vibe X2 also sports a beautiful 5 inch display with 1080p Full HD resolution. For your pictures the Vibe X2 sports a 13MP Rear Cam and 5 Mgeapixel Selfie Cam. The Phone runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and Lenovo’s added features.

Very Good News is that the Lenovo Vibe X2 comes with Dual Sim for Asia Pacific and 4G LTE, ( Single Sim international). The not so good news is that this beauty is only powered by a 2300 mAh battery, so you better get those PowerBanks ready.

The Lenovo Vibe X2 will get added Accessoires named, Xtensions. The Accessoires are designed to add one more layer to the multi layer Vibe X2. They are called Vibe X2 Speaker and Vibe X2 Battery and Lenovo claims that the Accessory will increase Battery Life by 75%

The VIBE X2 will first launch in China in October priced at 399 USD (1270 RM) and then other ASian Markets and Europe.

Lenovo Vibe Z2 – Snapdragon 410 with 64Bit Technology

The Lenovo Vibe Z2 is targeted more at the mid segment market. It sports an 5.2 inch HD display with 1280 x 720 resolution. The Vibe Z2 is powered by a Snapdragon 410 clocked at 1.4 Ghz. The Snapdragon 410 is based on 64bit technology, that means the Vibe Z2 will be Lenovo’s first 64bit Smartphone. Lenovo also announced their Tablet the Tab S8 with 64 Bit technology on the IFA 2014 for just 199 USD.

The Lenovo Vibe Z2 will also come with Dual Sim, probably again only for Asia Pacific. The Lenovo Phone sports a 13MP Rear CAM with BSI Sensor and OIS. For the Selfie Cam the Vibe Z2 has a 8MP Shooter, which means that the Vibe Z2 is better equipped then the X2 in the Camera department.

We expect the Vibe Z2 to run on Android L, but it is not yet clear if Android L will be the OS right out of the BOX. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 comes with a bigger 3000 mAH battery and a slightly higher pricing of 429 USD (1370RM).
