Ruler PHABLET Lenovo Phab was published in autumn 2015. The company showed two models: a simpler and Lenovo Phab Phab Plus. This year’s lineup Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification triple replenishment. The Lenovo Phab consider the target audience of young people who are accustomed to communicating via internet messaging and smartphone for them is not a “second screen” for the older generation and the first. With him they are watching the video in the mornings and evenings, with him – call via the Internet services using video, send messages to it. This positioning is well embedded in the scripts of the Asian markets, in particular for native Chinese companies, which is important for people to the big screen, as they have permanent access to the network, and it can be used to the full extent even in the subway. It is also important for them to price – because if a person has money, he would go and buy the popular iPhon e region, and only if not – will look towards the budget proposals of their own producers. It was then that the company arrived, and with his proposal. In this review, we are introduced to the youngest model in the lineup.
In line, Phab2 includes three devices: in fact, Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification, easiest, older – Phab2 Plus is , masthead – Phab2 Pro – the first commercial smartphone Tango Project.
All models are equipped with a 6.4-inch display but differ in technical details. If we talk about the difference between Phab2 and Phab2 Plus, it is the processor and screen size, as well as a fingerprint reader, which is the Plus model.
The main difference from last year’s series – modern design and more filling.

CONTENTS OF DELIVERY
Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification comes in a compact (by the standards of their size) box with minimal accessories. This charger, microUSB cable, and clip. In addition to them in the box and present a guarantee statement. Standard set for a cheap smartphone decent Chinese manufacturer.
DESIGN
Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification has clearly captured the trend in the design of smartphones for the mass audience. She wants to see the metal housing (permissible use “on a metal” plastics, the main thing that visually looked noble material), at least elements on the rear panel and interesting colors. Appearance Lenovo Phab 2 fits into this concept. The smartphone is available in two colors – Champagne Gold and gray metallic, no conservative black or white.
Housing plastic, although until the first scratches can accept it for the metal. From the hands of the smartphone does not slip.
Faceplate Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification angular and substantially different in design from the Phab line models last year. Design – strict, obviously with an emphasis on the business audience (hard to imagine such a machine in the hands of hipster). On the one hand, a rounded body in the spirit of last year, it would better impact on the ergonomics of the device. On the other – in such size has little that can seriously affect the usability. But in fairness, I note that any PHABLET much smaller 7-inch tablet, whom he competes.
Above the screen stands on a ledge of a millimeter – it protects the display from scratches if you put it down on a table.
In the upper part of the display is the speaker in the body color – golden, eye front camera, the Auto Brightness Sensor and LED, announce events.
Under the screen – three touch-sensitive keys. There are lights, it lights up when you touch the buttons and lights a couple of seconds. In the dark to find them is not easy. And the interface is not the menus with the backlight duration. The lower part of the frame below the screen wider than the top. It has little effect on the ergonomics: if you have to keep your smartphone in one hand, then with these proportions are less likely to drop it.
Under the protective glass bezel around the screen, there is another black frame. But when the screen is off, it merges with it and because of this, it seems that the screen more and more compact body than it actually is. Old as the world focus. With the magic of the display disappears.
On the back of the Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification is protruding camera lens, flash, the manufacturer’s logo and acoustics Dolby Atmos. Last, as it suggests that the sound will be what you need. The camera stands (strange as it was not possible to fit in a nearly 10-mm case), but it saves a few acting on the rim of a millimeter. The idea is that if you put PHABLET on the back of the body as some kind of “dangerous” surface, a side glass will save from damage. Flash – a camera. Around the area of the smartphone body a little heated under load. The edges of the back of the smartphone are rounded for the sake of ergonomics, but visually is still a sense of “square” design.
Volume control keys and lock screen button is brought to the right end. The first – a long, two-position. The second shorter than twice and has a different texture. So even touch clear to touch any button. Both keys barely protrude above the body and have a moderately mild stroke. They can be pressed accidentally in your pocket.
On the left side – the SIM-card format Micro, one of them can be used for Mic roSD. Usually, such decisions at least one of the slots are designed for nanoSIM, but there is not the top -. The hole for the headset and microphone Bottom -. MicroUSB-jack and two speakers grids. In fact, there is only one speaker, it is right. The second mesh decorative.
The device Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification weighs 225 grams in size due to the large display bypasses any smartphone, but it beats the average tablet. The thickness – about 10 millimeters, but it is understandable why – the battery capacity of 4050 mAh resides inside the smartphone. Among the smartphones – a giant, but if you treat it as a full-fledged alternative to the tablet, then “Tablets» Lenovo Phab 2 wins in two accounts for the compactness of the body.
With such dimensions and weight using a smartphone in one hand, it is impossible. Is that during the conversation. Another thing – typing on a smartphone with a large display with both hands. I have long been perceived as the smartphone suitable device to enter text, and if 5-5.5-inch screens have to try to get in a good right key virtual keyboard, the 6.4-inch screen makes typing as comfortable as in principle it is possible on the screen.
High-quality assembly, parts fit well, although if long to try to push the back side of the smartphone and touch the battery with your finger, it will be done.
DISPLAY
Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification equipped with a 6.4-inch IPS-display with oleophobic coating, Auto Brightness and HD fixed to dial. It is responsive and does not collect fingerprints. From scratch, its Gorilla Glass protects the unknown generation. However, the main thing that protects the good. Angles maximum viewing.
In the menu, a separate item settings enabled work gloves there. However, the display responds to some mittens made of thick fabric. The smartphone can be unlocked independently in a bag or pocket because of the soft power keystroke. So he began to not send someone a message or call, it is better to set a lock screen graphic or the PIN-code.
Auto Brightness basically works correctly, although there are times when for no reason, no reason at light goes out or below the comfortable level is brighter than one would like. Enable or disable the auto-mode is on the curtain notifications.
Maximum screen brightness Lenovo Phab2 is 320 cd / m². This is enough for comfortable work outdoors in most cases. In summer, the fine days will have to look into the picture. Minimum – 5.7 cd / m².
Contrast is acceptable – 717: 1. Modern smartphone screens often more contrasty, but Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification is still good for watching movies and photos. The color temperature of 6500K corresponds to the reference, and only in a very dark and light colors become colder. The error is small – and opinion did not even notice. The display settings menu, you can adjust the color temperature.
The graphs display measurement shows that the color gamut corresponds approximately to a comfortable user sRGB space, only in green, yellow and red it is wider. In practice, this is not exactly from any discomfort. In terms of the balance of colors, brightness and responsiveness of the display are good.
Detract from the viewing of multimedia content may perhaps that resolution: 1280×720 pixels give a grainy image with a pixel density of 229 pixels per inch on the diagonal of 6.4 inches. At its closest competitor, Xiaomi Mi Max, already at Full HD (supposed) comparable price.
AUTONOMY
For a smartphone Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification with a large display balance between body size and long battery life due to the size of the battery, – the biggest headache. The 6.4-inch Lenovo Pha b 2 used battery capacity of 4050 mAh. Due to the low resolution of the matrix, is not the most voracious processor and a high-capacity battery smartphone good shows itself in hours of work. From one day under a heavy load and a half days without listening to music, using the camera, only a few hours of surfing the web communication messengers. Recovery resources battery too long, we are talking about more than two hours, expect less would be strange if such a container.
In the test of battery life with the screen brightness of 200 cd / m² unit lasted 7 hours and 40 minutes. Faster than a working day, the battery does not exactly sit. For PHABLET is an excellent result.
The battery settings can be found two ways of power saving settings. Auto, in which the system itself decides where and how to save. And manual – to customize optimization applications.
HARDWARE PLATFORM
The Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification used on the MT8735 SoC chip, which includes four cores running at 1.3 GHz. The graphics core Mali-T720. The system was introduced in 2015 and is designed for mid-range devices. It supports all modern communication standards up to 4 G in all the popular bands and a screen resolution of up to 1920×1080 pixels. Made on a 28-nm process technology – that is no different than the maximum energy efficiency. But paired with a low-resolution display and a high-capacity battery smartphone running long enough.
The two younger model line Phab 2016 has 3 GB of RAM. With the equipment of a smartphone copes well with daily tasks. Although it should be understood that the speed corresponds to the price, and in direct comparison with the more expensive models, the difference, especially in the smooth interface is visible, and it is not in favor of Phab2. The shell is stable, problems of suspension have not been noticed. From unpleasant moments – smartphone indecently long runs after the restart.
Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification suitable not only for daily tasks – he copes with many modern games, not at least because of HD LCD monitor. Real Racing 3 is without problems, Asphalt 8 bit graphics sags. In Need for Speed fps no problem with again. In general, the game demands the average user Phab2 smartphone suit.
The device supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi. During use, Lenovo Phab2 I have several times drew attention to the fact that the device is not always possible to switch from Wi-F i 3 G – sometimes for Internet access have to restart your smartphone. One might offend the poor quality of the network in the city center, but a reboot helped in all cases. Perhaps the problem is a particular instance.
By the GPS no complaints. But attention is drawn to the discrepancy in the testimony of the pedometer Lenovo Phab2 and other smartphones. Often Phab 2 gave less result.
The smartphone Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification is equipped with a slot for MicroSD, combined with the slot of the second SIM. According to some data, it supports memory cards with a capacity up to 128 GB, on the other – up to 256 GB. Both options are good. Internal memory capacity is 32 GB.
SHELL
Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification out of the box running Android 6.0 operating system, on top of which is used VibeUI. Corporate interface Lenovo little modified from generation to generation, from the stock Android in this version, is distinguished primarily by the design and the availability of third-party applications (in particular to protect the device, disk cleanup, synchronization, and data transfer).
The interface has a separate application menu, scroll vertically in it (and in the same gallery – a familiar, horizontal, still have to get used to the different logic). The smartphone settings menu there is a separate item, where you can activate the “smart” gestures unlock by double tapping, automatic answer with to ear, keyboard, adapted for one-hand operation, and even eye protection mode that ensures that the user does not hold the device too close to the face.
Customizable status bar – in the appropriate menu, you can choose what information to display on it.
Attention is drawn to the fact that Android 6.0 even adjust time mode “Do Not Disturb” is stored in the cloud. And during the transition to the new device are automatically tightened. At Lenovo Pha b 2 has a curious feature of the mode of operation – it is impossible to adjust the volume of the headphones.
SOUND
The sound of the smartphone can be characterized as normal for the price category. The speaker is one – and it felt, but it’s loud, and it can, depicts surround sound. The squeaks and rattles are not disrupted. With the sound of the headphones – the same story. This is not some smartphone and PHABLET middle segment, consumer-oriented text and video content on the Internet. His money on the part of the sound he fulfills. Movies you can watch comfortably without external speakers.
In the application, the menu has a proprietary equalizer Dolby Atmos, by default, it is turned off. If you activate the app, you can select one of the audio modes – movies, music, voice and two modes for audio settings to your liking.
CAMS
Cameras – the weak point of the smartphone. Application for recording a minimum of settings and modes. Conveniently, the HDR and flash at your fingertips, you can enable one-click. To take only one normal – cars. Remaining (AR, panorama, surround the portrait, night scene) – too exotic for everyday use. This is both good and bad. Well, that does not have to be confused by a large number of settings. Bad – because the picture settings will not be saved.
Main (13 megapixel) and front (5MP) is practically useless in low light. Cloudy autumn Kiev – is a serious test for both cameras. Even during the day the photos. Option shooting beautiful scenery viable photo with small details, most likely, will not work.
Filming in the current cloudy weather may brighten HDR mode, the algorithm processes the image good, as long as the hand did not tremble.
PHOTOS WERE TAKEN IN HDR MODE
Night club, concert, sunset – it’s not forLenovo Phab 2 full phone specification camera. A person with a “smooth” hands may get squeezed out of it is more or less acceptable results. But a beginner who with cameras in the “you” do not get anything worthwhile.
For comparison – so in the same conditions removes Meizu M3S. The result is a little better. Although smart three times cheaper.
Apparently, Lenovo saw in perspective in augmented reality. The appropriate shooting mode appeared in the chamber. Pretty fun, cartoon pictures very much. Probably, it focused on children.
About selfie at the club can not even think. Under normal artificial or natural light on the front camera photographs obtained minimally acceptable quality.
Example video. Maximum quality – 1080 p , 30 fps. Video quality – normal, average. But the sound is recorded perfectly.
In general, the camera – one of the few options of the smartphone, which can only be recorded in the minutes. Even for the money, it is weak.
PROS: WI-FI SUPPORTS 5 GHZ, A LARGE DISPLAY, BATTERY LIFE, SUPPORT FOR HIGH CAPACITY MEMORY CARDS
CONS: LOW SCREEN RESOLUTION IS NOT VERY RESISTANT TO SCRATCHES MATERIAL THE BACK SIDE OF THE HOUSING, THE CAMERA, THE STRANGENESS WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN WI-FI AND 3G
CONCLUSION
Lenovo Phab 2 full phone specification here is a feeling that this time with Lenovo aiming not at a young audience, and the average age of users for which the smartphone – is not so much a set of entertainment, as a working tool. Hence – the dismissive attitude towards the camera, a solid “angular” design, and colors that will attract above all very adult boys and girls. If you previously used a 7-inch tablet as a “dealer”, and now it is time to update it without any changes to the form factor, the Lenovo Phab2 (or Phab2 Plus, if the budget allows) is the correct alternative. Here the same huge screen with a much more compact size and a good battery, with the camera, maybe even better. If you look for PHABLET and look at Phab2 as one of the variants of large diagonal, then note that the 6.4-inch screen is outside the comfort zone of most users, and smartphone with dimensions just do not get in your pocket. In addition, the market has a lot of money for comparable smartphones with smaller diagonal, or even the same, but the best characteristics of the display – so again a good look around before making a decision in favor of Lenovo Phab2.
