Lenovo Vibe X2 smartphone: customer reviews
What can tell us the reviews of the owners of this phone model? The first thing to note is the quality of signal reception and transmission. It is rather evaluated positively than neutral. Suddenly, the cellular network does not disappear, as for the wireless module. Wi-Fi is powerful enough that it cannot but please. Slightly above average the volume of the main speaker. There is a certain volume margin, which again can be written into the advantages of the device. If the melody is chosen successfully, then together with the vibrating alert it will not allow you to miss a single voice call. Even in a fairly noisy environment.
Now the cost of the device is in the range of seventeen thousand rubles. It's not so small, but the smartphone offers us strong hardware, good performance and a cool design! A definite plus is the presence of an LTE module. He is not at all superfluous, but only fully complements the existing picture.
Perhaps the only significant drawback is that the smartphone does not have a slot for installing an external drive. However, thirty-two gigabytes are enough for almost every user, no matter how demanding.
