The Lenovo Vibe X3 impresses greatly with what it offers in the camera department. On the rear, a very robust 21-megapixel rear facing camera can be seen. The Sony shooter features f/2.0 aperture, dual-tone dual-LED flash and super-fast phase detection autofocus for awesome image-capturing capability.
Lenovo Vibe X3 can be used to shoot stunning 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) videos. For breathtaking selfies, you also get an amazing 8-megapixel front-facing snapper.

Under the hood, Lenovo Vibe X3 is armed with a hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor and ample 4 GB of RAM for powerful performance and enjoyable multitasking. Buyers get generous onboard storage of 32 GB or 64 GB, which can also be extended by additional 128 GB using a microSD card.
The phablet will run on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system with Lenovo’s Vibe UI skin on top.
