<p style="text-align: justify;">Lenovo had a respectable range of smartphones last year with its Vibe series of handsets but this year the company seemed to be focusing more on budget handsets for the Indian market. It did announced a bunch of smartphones at MWC 2015 but none of the new handsets made its way to India until now. The company just announced that it will be launching the Vibe Shot this month in India which will mark as a comeback to the series.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Vibe Shot is a camera centric smartphone and Lenovo is aiming for smartphone photography enthusiasts thanks to the manual controls and a variety of modes that the smartphone offers. The smartphone itself looks impressive with a metal and glass combination. The finish and design is impressive and definitely feels premium. At the back there is unique looking metal and glass combo with the camera module residing on the metal strip. Lenovo has also added a proper hardware shutter button and a quick sliding button to shift between auto and pro modes. In terms of specifications the Vibe Shot features a Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage which is expandable to 128GB, a 5-inch full HD display, a 16MP camera at the back and an 8MP camera for the front. The handset supports 4G and comes with two SIM card slots and has a 3000mAh battery.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/Lenovo-Vibe-Shot-1.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 422px;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The camera on the handset comes with a triple-tone flash and an infra-red guided auto focus system which helps to improve focusing even in low light. The camera performs a lot better than most of the smartphones in the market however it isn’t the fastest. It produces sharp pictures with accurate colours and even offers a nice depth of field. The camera app features a manual mode, where you can adjust the shutter speed, ISO, exposure value and focus which isn’t something new as most of the smartphones offer these features. The app also comes with a few slow shutter modes which help in taken stair trails, create light painting and so on. All of the modes work well, but definitely need some time to get used to. The Vibe shot does look like an impressive camera smartphone, but it is doesn’t come close to flagships like Samsung Galaxy S6 of the iPhone, but for a mid-range device it could do wonders. Of course it will face a tough competition against the Asus Zenfone 2 series and <a href="http://www.businessworld.in/www-tech-gadgets-apps/chinese-invasion">ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini</a>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The handset is expected to officially launch on the 28<sup>th</sup> of August, however no pricing is confirmed at this point of time.</p>
