On its Google Plus page Lenovo
has just announced what looks like, from a camera perspective, one of
the most interesting smartphones of the year. According to the
announcement the Vibe Z2 Pro captures images with a 16MP camera that
features an optical image stabilization system. There is also a Dual-LED
flash but unfortunately no information on sensor size or aperture has
been released yet.
Camera functions include Auto Scene Detection and a so-called Ultra
Night Mode but to many mobile photographers, Pro Mode, which allows for
manual control over a range of shooting parameters, should look most
appealing. Pro Mode's user interface design looks very similar to the
manual setting dials in Nokia's excellent Camera App. The new device is
also capable of 4K video recording.

The Vibe Z2 Pro camera combines a 16MP senor, OIS and a Dual-LED flash.

The rest of the specification is worthy of a flagship device as well.
The Vibe Z2 Pro comes with a 6-inch IPS screen that puts it flatly into
phablet territory and the 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution should make
composing and viewing images a joy. Under the hood Android 4.4 is
powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset with a 2.5GHz quad-core CPU
and 3GB of RAM. The internal storage capacity is 32GB but unfortunately
there is no microSD expansion. At 7.7mm the Lenovo is pretty slim and
comes with very thin bezels. However, thanks to the large screen it was
still possible to install a 4,000mAh battery.
The phone's rear panel is made out of brushed metal and at least in
the released promotional materials looks like a true premium device. The
launch is planned for September but, as usual with Lenovo devices, it
is not clear if, when and at what price it will come to Western shores.
Initially the Vibe Z2 Pro will be available in Russia among some other
countries for approximately $834. Watch the video below for some more
insight into its features and camera.
