CES 2016 is warming up and Lenovo has just welcomed the event by announcing to introduce a model called Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite at CES this year. So, what does it have?

Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite

After claiming the coming of many laptops, Lenovo decided to launch a new smartphone belonging to Lenovo Vibe S series at CES 2016. It is named Vibe S1 Lite and we are quite sure this handset is a variant of Lenovo Vibe S1 announced in September 2015. Because the original S1 is very special thanks to its dual front camera, we hope the Lite ver can also inherit such a fantastic feature and maybe more.

Spec-wise, Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite specs include a 5.0-inch Full HD screen, a 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6753 octa-core chip, Mali-T720 GPU, a dual SIM, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of ROM (expandable), and a 2,700mAh battery. In addition, there are 4G LTE connectivity, Android 5.1 Lollipop OS, and a main camera capable of 13 megapixels with a dual LED flash, PDAF, and BSI. In terms of taking selfies, we have to inform you that there would be no dual front camera as we see on the Vibe S1.

However, it’s still very powerful with 8MP, Sony sensor and LED flash. You’ll have great pics even in low light conditions. Well, we assume the Lite’s a lower-end smartphone of the S1 but still an excellent mid-ranger compared to many others. If its price tag is affordable, no doubt this will become a strong competitor to Xiaomi products in the same category.

Lenovo Vibe S1 Lite price and availability

According to the source, the Lite will come with 2 color options: White and Blue. Besides, it will probably cost you $199 when going on sale in the first quarter of 2016. Well, what do you think about the phone as well as its price? Share with us your opinions!

What is significant about the device is that, Redmi 3 battery features a huge 4,000 mAH battery. With this capacity, you can go 3 days on normal use without charging.

A bit about Xiaomi Redmi 3 design, seems like we will have a full metal body with 5 inch display and a 8.5mm slim body. We haven’t heard any further about whether the handset will come with micro SD card slot or not, but very hopefully Xiaomi will surprise us this time, like they did earlier.
