Selfie trend apparently triggers the devices manufacturers
to create a number of innovative products that are designed specifically to
optimize the selfie activity. One of them is the latest smartphone from Lenovo,
Vibe S1, which has been announced at IFA 2015.
If previously HTC One M8 came with two rear cameras, then
another case with Lenovo Vibe S1, this smartphone has two front cameras: 8
megapixels and 2 megapixels. The 8 megapixels front camera serves to take the
sharpest photos, while the 2 megapixels camera is in charge of analyzing the
depth of field information.
After taking selfie photos, there are several setting
options that can be applied, such as "Blur" (focus setting and the
addition of bokeh effect). Then there is "Cut Out" that can cut a
person's image from the photo and then put it on another photo, or combine the
image with another photo that's taken from the rear camera. So for example you
can cut your selfie image and then place it in front of the Pisa Tower or
Colosseum, interestingly all that can be done easily.
At the rear, the main camera of Vibe S1 relies on 13
megapixels BSI sensor and phase-detection autofocus. In addition there is also dual
LED flash which optimizes colors based on lighting.
Lenovo Vibe S1 brings 5.0 inch IPS capacitive touchscreen at
a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels (~441 ppi pixel density) that's protected by
Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Vibe S1 runs on Android OS, v5.0 (Lollipop), and is
powered by Mediatek MT6752 chipset which carries Octa-core 1.7 GHz processor.
These specs are combined with 3GB RAM, 32GB internal memory that can be
expanded with microSD, up to 128 GB (uses SIM 2 slot).
Lenovo Vibe S1 has a dimension of 143.3 x 70.8 x 7.8 mm,
weights 132 gr, 7,8mm thickness and has supported Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual
stand-by). Lenovo Vibe S1 will be available in two colors; Pearl White and
Midnight Blue. This smartphone will be offered at $ 299, and expected to be
released in November 2015.
