Lenovo VIBE S1 impressed me a lot and honestly I am considering it as my secondary phone. To be considered as my secondary phone, my major requirement is simple. It should take good selfie photos and selfie videos because I want to #beselfieperfect all the time.
As a self confessed selfienatic (if there’s such a word) . I take a lot of selfie shots (photos and videos) because I don’t like disturbing anyone to take my photo . Plus I am not comfortable setting up a tripod at an events venue (it’s kinda weird and also baka masalisihan pa ako manakaw ang fone ko!)
With good selfie photos I mean clean and clear with great detail . Plus the phone cam shoud have good response time, no delays whatsoever because there’s no room for bad photos when you’re taking motion shots or even selfie shots with the the stars.
Surprisingly, the Lenovo VIBE S1 was able to keep up with my requirements. Take a look at the #selfie shots I took with it:
The #selfie shots are gorgeous! It was like taken by a pro or even a pro cam (DSLR) . If you notice you can only make the bokeh effect with an DSLR or if you do photoshop editing. But with this phone cam all you need is to use the dual cam button when taking selfies and it will blur out the backround by itself. How? Because of the Lenovo VIBE S1 special feature is the dual selfie camera
The 8MP primary front camera takes the sharpest photos and the 2MP secondary front camera analyzes depth of field information to replicate human binocular vision. These two cameras work in tandem to unleash a myriad of new possibilities that can give selfies a creative twist.
After capturing that perfect selfie using the dual front camera, users are spoilt for choice with the various options to modify the picture from a number of built-in photo editing tools. Functions such as ‘Blur’ allows refocusing anywhere on the selfie for up to 3 focal planes, while adding a ‘bokeh’ effect to the background will enhance and stylize a selfie or get rid of a photo bomber.
Check out this video on how to take perfect selfie shots with the Lenovo VIBE S1:
If you have photobombers you can immediately get rid of them with the Cut Out’ feature,or you can put yourself in any other backround image from a wide selection preloaded on the VIBE S1. For the true selfie expert,you might want to get the the VIBE Xtension™ plug-in selfie flash that allows up to 100 picture-perfect selfies on a single charge, achieving a more natural color tonality in the selfies taken in low-light conditions. Meanwhile the Lenovo VIBE S1 has 13MP rear camera with face-detection autofocus that dramatically increases focusing speed along with a dual-color flash which optimizes color tones based on ambient lighting.
Here’s some sample food shots using the rear camera (no edit just resized):
Basic specs:
Apart from being the perfect selfie smartphone, I am loving the Lenovo VIBE S1 because of its size , cut and design. The curved-glass rear panel made from the latest Gorilla® Glass and the thin rounded metal frame that goes around the side. With its thin 7.8mm profile and weighing only 132g, is the perfect design and size for my small hands.
It is powered by a 64-bit MediaTek Octa-Core processor and 3GB of RAM, it has 160GB of storage and up to 128GB of microSD external storage support, the VIBE S1 can easily accommodate around 40,000 photographs. Screen has vivid 5.0” Full HD display and users can easily share all their photos stored on the VIBE S1 with preloaded Lenovo’s star SHAREit app.It is 4G LTE connectivity speeds capable running on Android™ 5.0 (Lollipop) operating system.
The Lenovo VIBE S1 will be locally available in two attractive color options: white and gold. You may get yours at a Lenovo Mobile dealers for Php15,999.00, bundled with a free screen protector (worth Php299) and a free back cover (worth Php599).
As for the battery life, I have not fully used it with the data or wi-fi on the way I use my primary phone so I’m not able to say how long can it last. However, I have been using it on my events to take selfie shots and it was able to make it the whole day without charging or plugging it in a powerbank.
But looking back at the selfie shots I have taken with it, I am sold to make the Lenovo VIBE S1 as my secondary phone. Get yours too and #BeselfiePerfect all the time!
