Lenovo has launched the VIBE Shot camera phone, which\u00a0has a 16-megapixel rear sensor and other features designed simplify taking photographs, including a Backside Illuminated (BSI) sensor that improves clarity in low-light conditions, optical image stabilization (OIS) that cuts down on motion blur, and Auto mode that instantly detects the scene and optimizes camera settings.<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cTrue to the VIBE ON spirit of the brand, we at Lenovo never stand still when it comes to innovating,\u201d said Dino Romano, country lead, Lenovo Smartphones, Philippines. “Designed to pack the professional features of a DSLR and all the mobile features our target market loves, the Lenovo VIBE Shot offers the best of both worlds to match the lifestyle of the millennials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professional photographers typically opt for DSLRs for two main reasons. The first reason is\u00a0image quality. High-quality optics traditionally requires lenses of a specific size and weight. That\u2019s changed a lot over the past few years. In fact, many professionals now use \u201cmicro four-thirds\u201d models (marginally larger than point-and-shoots, but with interchangeable lenses) as the lenses provide image quality good enough in all but a few situations.<\/p>\n

The second reason is control. DSLRs allow photographers to tweak the settings on their camera, which takes years of experience giving them value to their craft. But while most smartphones automatically adjust settings such as ISO and aperture for the novice photographer, the VIBE Shot takes it one step further, with a \u201cPro\u201d mode which lets experts manually adjust these settings to help them capture stunning photos.<\/p>\n

The VIBE Shot’s features include:\u00a0bulb effect that\u00a0lets users take shots with a long exposure \u2013 fireworks, motion blurs, and other common street and urban photography effects; faster focus,\u00a0making it almost twice as fast as conventional autofocus tech; and optimization for selfies, thanks to\u00a0VIBE Shot’s Panoramic Selfie mode, 8MP front camera, and optional Selfie Flash Xtension.<\/p>\n

As a phone, the unit features: 4G, Wi-Fi, and dual SIM capabilities.<\/p>\n

The Lenovo VIBE Shot is available for\u00a0P17,999. The VIBE Shot will come bundled with a free screen protector (worth P299) and a free back cover (worth P599).<\/p><\/div>\n
