This smartphone tries to offer a balanced experience with the regular budget spec sheet package. It is not among the good looking smartphones. The big 3, 900mAh battery inside makes the phone look bulky. Again, like any other budget phone, there’s too much plastic. The device sports a 5-inch 720p display and is powered by a 1GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6735 CPU with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 32GB. There is an 8MP shooter with Flash at the back and a 5MP selfie camera. This is a dual SIM phone and supports 4G on one SIM slot and 3G on both. Overall, this Android Lollipop powered smartphone has nothing much to boast apart from claiming superior battery life.
What is good?
Though the device looks bulky, the build quality is good when you compare other smartphones in this price range. The best feature has to be the dedicated power saving mode button on the left side. The moment you slide the button up, your Vibe P1m will become a feature phone. And slide it down to make it a smartphone. This will definitely come handy when you are running out of juice. On the performance front, there are no major drawbacks. The device runs smoothly without any lags or app crashes. Coming to the battery life of the device, you can expect a maximum of two days battery life on a single full charge. Obviously, this is great news in the budget smartphone race, but again is this all you want.
What is not that good?
Camera. Lenovo could have seriously added a good camera to the Vibe P1m. While you can expect some decent images in good lighting conditions, its better you don’t depend on it after dark.
