Lenovo launched the Lenovo Vibe X3 in China last month and as soon as I saw it I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one to test out the front facing speakers, Dolby Atmos and of course the rear 21 mega-pixel camera.
Lenovo Vibe X3 Camera
The main camera on the Lenovo Vibe X3 is a 21 mega-pixel unit. Lenovo don’t state the model of the sensor on their website, but Chinese tech sites say that it is the Sony IMX230. The sensor gets a 6 stack lens, PDAF(Phase detection auto focus), and F2.0 aperture. There’s also a dual tone dual LED flash too.
Lenovo Vibe X3 Camera App
The camera app on the Lenovo Vibe X3 is called ‘Snapit’ and it has a ton of great features. Opening the camera up for the first time and the app will automatically set itself in to ‘Smart Mode’.
The idea of “Smart Mode” basically reads the available light and the scene to automatically set itself up to take the best photo. It does a good job and most I’ve left it on only switching to specific camera features now and then to really make the most of the camera.
If you don’t want to use the smart mode just hit the yellow ‘s’ and a regular ‘auto’ mode will activate. Above the smart mode icon is the button to switch to the front 8 mega-pixel camera, the top left is where the flash control is, and in the bottom left is another menu for further features.
