While Lenovo has had great success in India in 2015 with budget phones like A6000, A6000 Plus, A7000 and K3 Note, the company did not have a flagship quality device. The last flagship device from Lenovo in India was the Lenovo Vibe X2 released back in 2014. Now the company is releasing their flagship phone, the Vibe X3 in India.
The Vibe X3 sports 5.5-inch displays with Full HD resolution (1920 X 1080p) and comes wth Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The phone runs on Snapdragon 808 Hexa core processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. Here is the unboxing of the device and our first impressions.

Lenovo Vibe X3 is a premium device with great material quality and finishing. Similar to Vibe K4 Note, the Vibe X3 has a dual front facing speakers. It has a metallic chassis and comes with brushed metal finishing on the sides. The rear panel is made of superior polycarbonate material and feels good. The rear panel has 21MP camera, dual LED flash and fingerprint scanner integrated into a single unit. The Lenovo logo sits below it and there is also Dolby logo at the bottom.
The SIM tray is on the left side while the volume and power keys are on the right side. The top panel houses the audio jack and IR blaster and the bottom section has micro USB charging slot.
The front panel has 8MP camera, sensors, the 5.5 inches Full HD display and the three capacitive touch buttons which are not backlit. Overall, the device looks premium for the price point and feels good in hands.
The phone comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 support and Lenovo claims this display has the best possible contrast on a smartphone. The display is pretty vibrant and offers good viewing angles and the touch response is also good. The phone comes with 32GB internal storage out of which 23GB is available to the user. You can also expand the storage via micro SD card. The phone also includes a fingerprint scanner and we tested it and found it to be quite good and responsive.
The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 Hexa-Core processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. There is Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with custom Vibe UI. Vibe UI has improved in terms of the previous version and now comes with Lollipop like UI with app drawer. The UI was responsive in our first few hours of usage and there weren’t any lag or issues. The camera on the phone is a 21MP unit with PDAF and dual LED flash. The camera interface is Snap It app from Lenovo and is quite fast in capturing images. The rear camera has 4K UHD support for videos.
The phone comes with great audio processing with Hi-Fi experience which should satisfy audiophiles. It also has Dolby Atmos support. The device also comes with NFC support and also IR blaster.
The device also features 3500mAh battery and this should be good enough for most users. The battery also supports quick charging. We will have the detailed review of the device soon, so stay tuned for it. Meanwhile, you can also check out our YouTube channel for more videos on the device.
