A Tasty Confection with a Few Lumps

A Tasty Confection with a Few Lumps
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Lenovo Laptop Battery
Lenovo is getting pretty aggressive, with all its most recent products having distinctive personalities. The Vibe X2 is fun and fresh, but it isn't just about superficial appearances. This device packs some impressive hardware under the hood and has a very attractive price too. We're really interesting in seeing what Lenovo has managed to pull off here.
Lenovo might not command the same respect for its phones that it does for desktop and laptop PCs, and is not usually at the top of anyone's mind when it comes to shortlisting an Android device to buy. The company knows this, and has a lot to prove - it badly needs a product that will be a mainstream hit and make people seriously consider buying a Lenovo phone rather than a Samsung or Sony. That's a huge task, and we're curious to see whether the Vibe X2 can be that phone with battery like Lenovo ThinkPad X120e Battery, Lenovo FRU 42T4789 Battery, Lenovo 57Y4559 Battery, Lenovo 121001096 Battery, Lenovo 57Y6455 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad G560 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 Battery, Lenovo Thinkpad R400 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad T400 Battery, Lenovo 41U3196 Battery, Lenovo FRU 42T5227 Battery, Lenovo FRU 42T5264 Battery.
First of all, there are the stripes. The Vibe X2 looks like something that came out of a bakery or chocolatier, not a smartphone factory. Lenovo has clearly tried hard to ensure that its latest launch looks nothing like the black rectangles we usually see everywhere. It's a bold move, and quite a lot of people will buy this phone based on its looks alone while others will take one look at it and wonder if the whole world has gone crazy.
Lenovo calls it gold, but it's actually only the rear layer that's a pale champagne colour, while the middle layers are peach and fiery orange. The frontmost layer is black and is just a little smaller than the rest, which means the black screen has an orange border when viewed head on, and really stands out. The look is certainly unique, and we like that Lenovo has really gone wild in an effort to make the Vibe X2 feel new and different.
Only the gold model is currently available through Lenovo's exclusive retail partner, Flipkart. Lenovo's website also has a more sober version in black, white and grey, as well as another in black, red and maroon if that's more to your taste. Sources indicate these will be launched in India at a later date.
The Vibe X2 is a bit awkward to hold, and its corners and edges dug into our palms a little. It's definitely light, which only somewhat makes up for that. Lenovo includes a protective screen film and a clear plastic case in the box, which itself also has the same colour scheme and a pretty neat design with stacked compartments.
A recessed tray on the upper left holds two SIM cards - one Micro and one Nano. The buttons are on the right, and there's no microSD slot. The battery is built in and not accessible. Three dots on the lower rear act as contacts for optional clip-on accessories - an extended battery and a speaker - which aren't available yet.
The front face is very plain and free of branding - you'll only see the capacitive buttons when they light up. The Vibe X2 feels smaller than other phones with 5-inch screens - and it is in fact quite narrow, with next to no space at all on the sides of the screen.
