Camera

Camera of Vibe X2

The VIBE X2 sports a 13 megapixels and 5 megapixels selfie camera and has a new simplified UI and runs on Android™ 4.4 Kit-Kat out of the box. Camera gives you several options for editing and also has an anti-shake for those of you who don’t have a very steady hand.
Though the camera works in daylights, the camera fails to our expectation under low light and night conditions. The images appear grainy and lack the detail a 13megapixed camera provides.
Another aspect of VIBE X2 is Instant On that gives you quick access to your camera and other important apps.
One the left of the rear side is the camera lens and LED flash. You can also find Lenovo branding and a small speaker at the back.
