Lenovo Vibe C is a new addition to its Chinese maker’s Vibe range of affordable smartphones. The device, which features an HD display, a quad-core processor and 4G LTE, will appeal to entry-level users the most.
Build and Display
This smartphone did not deviate from what you would expect to see in a budget offering. The design is basic, with the body made entirely of plastic, safe for a metallic touch on the camera module.
The rear panel looks sleek and this, to an extent, raises the risk of it slipping out of your grip.
The Lenovo Vibe C sports a 5-inch diagonal display with an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density around 294 pixels per inch. This IPS panel promises impressive wide viewing angles.
Camera and Storage
On the camera front, the Lenovo Vibe C comes with a 5-megapixel rear sensor and a 2-megapixel front sensor. This setup speaks of a budget device. The main camera features LED flash which enhances your ability to take decent shots in poorly-lit settings.
For storage, you have an onboard capacity of 8 GB, which these days one can say is on the low side. The good thing is that you can at least expand storage by up to 32 GB using a microSD card.
Performance and OS
The Lenovo Vibe C is powered by a quad-core processor, the make of which is not known at this time.
The chipset is paired with lowly 1 GB of RAM further showing this will satisfy the needs of entry-level users the most.
However, one cannot fault the choice of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system that is used here, considering the price.
Other Features
A battery with a capacity of 2,300 mAh is provided to get the device running – it looks to offer decent runtime. The Lenovo Vibe C supports 4G LTE connectivity, meaning you can expect to enjoy the best of mobile data speeds on compatible networks.
Lenovo Vibe C offers dual-SIM functionality to help you reduce the number of phones you carry with you at a time.
Pricing and Availability
Lenovo Vibe C is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Lenovo Vibe C Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N25,000 to N35,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
