Lenovo Vibe X3 hands-on: First look

08 February, 2016
A couple of years ago, Lenovo hardly had any phone presence outside of China. But in the meantime, the company has made some serious strides, particularly in price-sensitive markets where multiple well-priced models follow one after the other.

"We did notice the sound dropping out every time a notification came in"

              It has been since one and a half month since u guyz posted the first look of Vibe X3. You people at gsmarena are known for quick posting of full review of smartphones. But why so late in posting the review of Vibe X3.
              Plz its a request, it will help us to judge before buying the handset.

                            Reviewer has grudges with lenovo but but my opinion on rear camera is that lack of OIS is not downer, matter of fact that it comes to your hand & creative way of taking pictures and it has clean camera ui and functions grt in capturing images without distortion on zooming. Also battery takes only 80 to 90mins to charge by using ultimate power saver on default charger provided.My x3 roughly takes 0.4 secs to unlock and is 8 to 9 times accurate.The lack of proper audio player is bummer as this has a awesome audio quality on both speakers & headset.

Typically, people who stress every new phone launching, and you want complete features all together with low price on it. Admit, you won't replace the phone before 1 year

                                  The Vibe X3 has a 3,500mAh battery. In our preliminary tests, the battery life seemed adequate, with about 4-5 hours of on-screen time and around 20 hours of overall battery life. Unfortunately, the phone does not support Quick Charge 2.0, something we confirmed for ourselves. It also takes two and a half hours to charge completely from 0%

You have to find solutions. I can see no issue placing the sensors in the upper speaker grille. Of course, this takes effort, not just 'let's make another phone'.
