Earlier this year, I learned about the kind of consumer I am when it comes to gadgets – the official term or classification that marketers use. When it comes to gadgets like laptops and smartphones, I am a design trend setter because how a gadget looks is very important to me. I’m drawn to stylish, classy and colorful designs.
My first Lenovo smartphone, the S850 was all about the style.
Meet the Lenovo VIBE Shot. It’s the newest flagship smartphone product of Lenovo. It’s designed to look like a point and shoot camera because it’s specifically targeted for the photo enthusiasts. I’m already very in love with the way it looks. It’s thin and light again and it comes in different colors: Carmine Red, Graphite Grey and Pearl White version! My favorite is the Carmine Red of course. That’s what I’m thinking of getting.
What’s so special about this phone? The unique selling point of this smartphone is its camera feature. Like I said it’s targeted for photo enthusiasts. The VIBE Shot has a dedicated shutter button, which can be used to instantly activate the camera function to snap the perfect shot. It also has an infrared auto-focusing (AF) system that’s twice as fast as conventional autofocus* and it’s the world’s first smartphone that has tri-color LED flash that ensures more realistic skin tones.
Composition function, incorporating automatic scene detection and an onscreen
“point & shoot” guidance. The Pro mode, on the other hand, gives
enthusiasts manual controls like aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings,
enabling limitless compositions to unlock their creativity. Another world’s first
is the panoramic selfie feature that lets you take three selfies and turn them
into one that includes more people.

I’m thinking of getting the Lenovo VIBE Shot because of its camera feature since as I mentioned, I take a lot of photos using my smartphone which I share online on my social media accounts or on this blog. I figure I might as well invest in a smartphone with a great camera feature.
If you want to buy VIBE Shot too, you can buy now via Lazada Philippines at Php16, 999 and you’ll even save Php1,000. If not, you can buy it through retail some time next week at Php17, 999.
*Infrared
Autofocus: 20 milliseconds for range finding, 150 milliseconds for fine tuning,
24 frames per second focusing. The IR Autofocus range finding is limited to 50cm,
therefore it immediately switches to infinity focus when it cannot find an
object within 50cms, making focusing 2x faster than conventional autofocus (Test
results may vary depending on test circumstances)
