Lenovo Vibe S1 - one of the new smartphones, which we announced at the IFA 2015 in Berlin. It happened recently - 2 September, and today we hasten to share with you a preview (or "first sight" - here as you wish) on this gadget with a double front Self-cam. Details under the cut, and the questions of good tradition respond to the comments. So there you go!

Appearance
Many journalists who already hold in your hand Lenovo Vibe S1, saying that the device looks very similar to smart phones Motorola. Well, we will not deny it: a little curved back cover gives. By the way, at the expense of bending and a small width (70, 8 mm) smartphone perfectly in the hand. Gadget weighs 132 grams, the thickness of the body - only 7 to 8 mm.





The body is completely encircles sturdy metal frame with small plastic inserts in the upper and lower ends - they are necessary for the correct operation of the wireless module and antenna. Despite the fact that the rear side of the curved, it is covered with a protective glass Gorilla Glass 3. obscene looks very impressive.



The buttons below the screen touch, with beautiful non-standard icons. The backlight is not provided, but it is difficult to imagine a user of Android-smartphone, which to them is not yet used.



Below are two lattice, under one of which is hidden built-in speaker:



Combined slot nanoSIM-two cards (one radio) is on the left end of the device. Instead of one of them, you can install the card format microSD. Maximum supported volume - 128 GB.



Right - button and volume control, they are also metal:



But on top of a hole microphone and headphone jack.

On the front, it would seem unusual, but ... just two front-facing camera, yes. About them and basically photomodule write in more detail, but a little later.



Display
Compare Lenovo Vibe S1 and last selfifona Lenovo S90 suggests itself. And here, of course, all the arguments in favor of the Berlin news. Screen size has remained the same (5 inches), but is now at the heart of IPS-panel with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The picture became brighter and the color reproduction - it is better for the sun to work with such a display will be very comfortable.



Performance
Inside Lenovo Vibe S1 is a 64-bit 8-core MediaTek 6752 c clock frequency 1, 7 GHz and 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. All this makes Vibe S1 is very, very alert device: if you do not score RAM different processes under the most eyeballs, no hint of glitches in the interface, you will not even notice.



There will be no problems with running demanding games that confirm figures from the benchmark: more than 46,000 points in AnTuTu and almost 10,500 points in 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited. Of course, the rear panel gets a little warm when appreciable load, but neither of which overheated it does not go well. Incidentally, we recall that this test sample, so the final sample performance figures may vary.



Powered smartphone running Android 5.0, which is supplemented with a proprietary interface Lenovo Vibe UI , therefore, will not be repeated.

The main camera
Resolution main camera Lenovo Vibe S1 is 13 megapixels, it is supplemented by an LED flash. Here, too, has a "trick" - AF phase, which helps the camera very quickly the sharpness. Skip significant moments will now be much more difficult.











One of the volume buttons can be used as an analogue shutter button. The interface allows you to manually change the ISO setting and select the preset white balance, a minimum focusing distance is short enough to make a nice macro photography.



The total brightness of the frame varies depending on what object the user clicks on the touch screen. If light, then there will be exposure compensation in the negative. If the light, on the contrary. In severe cases, rescue software HDR.





Front camera
And now about the main feature: Lenovo Vibe S1 - the world's first smartphone that allows users to self where they have not been. The joke, of course, although true. The front camera on the front S1 just two: in one resolution of 8 megapixels, the second - 2 megapixels. By default, the first of these works, all the main features of which have already been described in the review of Lenovo S90.



But if you click on the little virtual button, the interface is a little change, but the user can make a magical self-portraits. First, there are two cameras allows you to change the depth of field and background blur to change the way it is.



Secondly, a user can easily "cut" his face from the usual photos, put it in the background, or the Eiffel Tower, for example, the glass pyramid outside the Louvre. The contours of a self-portrait gadget encircles pretty well (the more uniform background in the original picture, the better the result), and in automatic mode. However, it can be easily improved by means of simple hand tools - brush and eraser.



The phone memory has been downloaded several dozen photos in four different categories, including magazine covers.



The finished result looks like this:



And just the usual self without special effects for comparison:



Battery
Of course, during the exhibition, and even in the pre-production samples to accurately measure battery life Lenovo S1 mode, for example, video playback is not possible. Therefore we confine ourselves to just the information that is installed inside the battery capacity of 2420 mAh - very good for such a compact enclosure.

Instead of conclusion
Well, finish prompt review of that sale on the territory of Russia Vibe S1 will arrive in November this year. Why at this time we find it difficult to give an exact total cost of the machine all probably well aware. But if in November everything will be about the same as now, it is logical to be guided by the same amount, which are estimated at start Lenovo S90, that is, about 25 000 rubles.
