Lenovo might have been a late entrant into India's smartphone market. But it has quickly risen as a powerful challenger to other well-established smartphone brands. It has gained quick popularity among the people who want a smartphone with good set of specifications available at an affordable price.
Lenovo P2 is the brand's latest smartphone offering to Indian consumers. With 5100mAh battery, the device is quite a powerhouse and directly challenges the ASUS ZenFone Max range.
Highlights of Lenovo P2:
Battery:
Battery is one of the biggest selling points of Lenovo P2. This device is equipped with a powerful 5100mAh battery which claims to be able to last upto 3 days. Moreover, it comes with 24W Rapid charger which can charge it up for upto 10 hours of use in just 15 minutes. That is truly impressive for a mid-range device. The device also has a Power Saver mode to make the battery last even longer.
Display:
Lenovo P2 has a 13.97 cm (5.5) Full High-Definition Super AMOLED display. I am a big fan of superAMOLED displays and the brightness and contrast they offer. So thumbs up to Lenovo for giving P2 this display. The display is protected by 2.5D Gorilla Glass and has Full lamination.
Camera:
P2 has 13 MP rear camera which is powered by Sony IMX258 with Exmor RS™ technology enabling the device to capture full HD videos. The front camera is 5MP. Camera modes include pro-mode.
Other Key Specifications:
Other specifications of Lenovo P3 are quite decent too and should ensure a swift and stable device. It is equipped with 64-bit Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 625 2.0 GHz octa-core processor. It is available in 32GB ROM/3GB RAM and 32GB ROM / 4 GB RAM variants. The internal storage is expandable to 128GB using microSD card. It is a dual-SIM phone with 4G LTE & VoLTE capabilities. It runs on Android™ 6.0.1, Marshmallow.
Fingerprint Scanner:
P2 also has a finger print scanner which adds to the security of the device and also provides some convenient and customizable shortcuts. The device allows the users to create different zones for work and personal profile and secure them with the finger print scanner. The scanner can be set to recognize upto 5 different finger prints and it can be used to lock/unlock the phone and individual apps.
Dual App functionality:
Lenovo P2 allows users to manage two different accounts in the same application. For example, users can setup two separate WhatsApp or Hike accounts.
VR Compatibility:
Lenovo P2 is equipped with the TheaterMax technology that can turn the media into a large screen experience. It helps in the smooth playing of graphics, and delivers enhanced surround sound and responsive 3D gameplay. This helps in augmenting the Virtual Reality experience while using a VR headset (sold separately).
Lenovo P2 Price and Availability:
The Lenovo P2 is available in Champagne Gold and Graphite Grey colours in 3GB+32GB and 4GB+32GB variants. The 3GB RAM variant of Lenovo P2 is priced at INR 16,999/- and the 4GB RAM variant of P2 is priced at INR 17,999. Both variants are available exclusively on Flipkart.
Lenovo P2 Review:
While the device doesn't have much to boast of in terms of looks, it does have a good set of specifications. The 5100mAh battery is really impressive and should allow users to multi-task and enjoy media on their phone for hours without any worry of the battery running out. The superAMOLED display, good RAM/ROM combination and the finger print scanner are its plus points too. Lenovo P2 seems like a good challenger in the highly crowded mid-segment smartphone market in India.
