If you’re familiar with Lenovo, probably you’ve heard the Lenovo Vibe S1, one of the good-looking phones that the Chinese giant recently unveiled after acquiring Motorola and integrating some Moto designs. Well, there’s a cheaper version of that.
Lenovo announced the Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite dual nanoSIM variant that features the same slim, metal frame design, 5.5-inch 1080p FHD display, and 13MP main camera, but at more affordable and budget price. There are few cuts in the specs including in the processor, RAM, dual-front cam and internal memory. Anything from that is intact and the same as to the Vibe S1.
What the Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite offers that its bigger sibling don’t is front-facing flash paired with the 8MP fixed selfie camera. Lenovo is aiming at Asus Zenfone Selfie, Sony Xperia C4 and Xperia C5 Ultra, however, in the more affordable offer.
The Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite is expected to be released starting this month in China for approximately US$199 or Php 9k price PH once officially released in the Philippines.
