WHAT IS THE HUAWEI P9 PLUS?

After the success of the Nexus 6P, Huawei continued its impressive run with the P9. While its Leica branding was more of a gimmick, the P9 was a great phone capable of rivalling the HTC 10, Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5.

I never felt the phone needed to be bigger, but clearly someone in Huawei’s product development team did. So here we have the Huawei P9 Plus. It mimics the smaller model in just about every area, but ups the screen size and improves a few of the components.

HUAWEI P9 PLUS – DESIGN

I'm a big fan of Huawei’s industrial design. It’s never been wholly original, but the continued use of metal and glass on even budget phones shows it really cares. The P9 was peak Huawei design, and that also goes for the P9 Plus: it looks identical.

Obviously it’s much bigger, thanks to the boosted 5.5-inch display, but it’s still mightily thin.When I first got my hands on the P9 Plus at the phone's launch it felt too thin, but the dimensions grew on me during the reviewing process. For a 5.5-inch phone, the Plus is surprisingly comfortable to hold in one hand.

The sides curve ever so slightly and there’s a light chamfer that adds a bit of flair. A black bar runs across the top of the back surrounding the dual-lens camera setup, flash and obligatory Leica branding.

There’s an air of the Nexus 6P to the Plus, but it’s more rigid and less sloping.

A square fingerprint sensor sits below the camera sensor and it’s easily one of the fastest I've used. Flash your digit across its surface and the phone unlocks, and bypasses the lockscreen almost instantly. I’ve long preferred the fingerprint scanner to be placed inside a home button on the front, as to me it feels much more natural, but there isn’t much to complain about here.

Unlike the iPhone, Huawei managed to keep the antenna bands colour matched to the phone and they blend in far better as a result. I also like how the headphone jack is on the bottom, next to the USB-C port and speaker grilles.

HUAWEI P9 PLUS – DISPLAY

It might not be quad-HD, or mobile HDR-enabled like the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, but the 5.5-inch AMOLED display on the Huawei P9 is one of its biggest strengths.

It’s one of the best cases for saying that phones with quad-HD, 2,560 x 1,440-pixel displays really aren't worth it. I can’t discern individual pixels on the 1080p panel on the P9 Plus, and the use of an AMOLED screen ensures blacks are inky and colours have a good amount of pop, without looking oversaturated.

You can also alter the colour temperature, making it warmer or colder depending on your personal preference. I like to keep it at the default, but it’s nice to see the option there for people who like to tinker.

When our Reviews editor, Alastair Stevenson, reviewed the P9 he felt the displays only downside was its slightly muddy whites. This remains true on the Plus, but it’s far from a real issue. Whites aren’t as clear as an LCD panel on an iPhone 6S Plus, but they're among the better ones I have seen on AMOLED. Viewing angles are suitably wide, and visibility in direct sunlight is ace thanks to screen’s impressive brightness. It won’t jack up the brightness to ridiculous levels in sunny conditions like the Galaxy S7, but it’s still very good.

The P9 Plus has a little trick in its display that the regular version doesn’t have: it’s pressure sensitive. Huawei first did this with its Mate S last year, days before Apple announced the 3D Touch-toting iPhone 6S Plus, but I never really saw the point. It works here just like it does on an iPhone, just on a much smaller scale.

Press down harder on the camera icon, for example, and you’ll be able to quickly shoot a selfie. Repeat the process on the Calendar and you can pop in an appointment without opening the app. Unlike Apple’s effort, which is by no means perfect, there’s no third-party support here and that severely limits its usefulness. It’s also nowhere near as responsive and half the time doesn’t work at all.&&

HUAWEI P9 PLUS – PERFORMANCE

Huawei’s in-house made Kirin chips have come on leaps and bounds in recent years, and the version used in the P9 series is one of the fastest, reliable and efficient yet.

The Kirin 955 CPU is backed up by 4GB RAM (that’s a gig more than the smaller P9) and it’s a potent combination. During my time with the phone, it hasn’t been challenged by anything. 3D games run without a hitch or frame drop, and loading times are on par with the Exynos 8890-rocking Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Snapdragon 820-equipped HTC 10.

Huawei has done a great job at finally optimising its software (if not actually designing it properly, see below). The constant crashes and app issues that plagued the company's pre-2016 devices have been culled.

On AnTuTu the P9 scored a respectable 99,000, which is just about the same as the smaller P9. It’s still behind competing Snapdragon 820 handsets, like the HTC 10, and those running an Exynos 8890. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge scored 129,468 by comparison.

The P9 Plus ran in with respectable 1,825 single-core and 6,300 multi-core scores in the GeekBench 3 test. The multi-core score is particularly impressive and puts the phone on a par with the Samsung Galaxy S7, which scored 6,307 on Geekbench.

There’s a decent bottom-facing speaker, but it’s not going to replace your dedicated boombox. The sound is aimed away from you and as such is easily blocked, it also lacks bass and detail in vocals.

Internal storage stands at 64GB, with 52GB usable. There’s a microSD slot for expanding that further.

Call quality is excellent, with voices loud and free of distortion. The microphones do a great job at blocking out any pesky background noise.

HUAWEI P9 PLUS – SOFTWARE

Huawei has a track record creating great phones with awful software. The software's improved recently but the EMUI skin used on the Plus is still one of the worst user interfaces I’ve seen.

EMUI is now on its fourth version and is based upon Android Marshmallow. To give Huawei some credit, at least all of Google’s functionality works better now. Notifications are no longer broken, Android Wear watches stay connected reliably, and it has finally removed the ugly border that used to surround each and every icon.

But, it’s still an unneeded overhaul to what was already a well-designed operating system. The culling of the app drawer is a decision that irks almost everyone I ask, with apps now splayed out across homescreen in no particular order.

Huawei has taken a very iOS approach to the software; with soft transparency effects and frosted glass styled apps. The default apps themselves are fine, but Google’s alternatives are so much better.

I’m also a bit wary about when exactly users will start to see updates to Android Nougat. Huawei has been slow with software updates in the past, and there doesn’t seem to be any reason why that’ll change here. A Huawei spokesperson couldn't confirm if the phone will be updated to Nougat at the time of publishing.

It’s easy enough to ditch EMUI using a launcher, such as the official Google Now launcher, but it’s still a pain. Even if you replace the launcher, you'll still be left with dregs of EMUI, with the notification pane and lock screen still showing sign's of Huawei's rubbish software.

&&

HUAWEI P9 PLUS – CAMERA

Leica is a big name in the world of photography, so slapping the highly respected brand’s logo on your phone implies it’s going to have some seriously strong camera prowess.

Let’s get the elephant in the room out the way first; while there is Leica branding on the back, this isn't a Leica-made camera. The only thing Leica did was give Huawei its blessing to use the branding.

A marketing gimmick it may be, but I still really like the Plus' cameras. They’re not quite as good as the Samsung Galaxy S7, Note 7 or LG G5. But, they’re comparable to the iPhone 6S and HTC 10 and come with a load of neat tricks thrown in.

Instead of just one, there are two 12-megapixel, Sony-made sensors on the back of the Huawei P9 Plus. One is your typical RGB sensor, which captures the colours, while the other is just monochrome. There are a couple of reasons why this is more than just gimmick; it lets you take excellent looking black and white shots that aren’t covered by a filter and it lets tonnes more light in, improving low-light performance.

Daylight photos are really good. Colours are vibrant, focusing is fast and and skin tones look accurate.

It’s not perfect though, The auto setting works well most of the time, but it does suffers from a few odd issues. Pictures are all more than usable, but the camera has a tendency to add a subtle vignette effect around the border of snaps. The camera also struggles with exposures in bright conditions, resulting in unbalanced images with slightly inaccurate, exaggerated contrast levels.

I had the same issues with the regular P9, and put it down to the way the dual-lens system was set up. It’s a minor criticism though, and you’ll probably only notice it if you look out for it.

 Daylight shots are good, with plenty of detail

The P9 sensors have 1.25μm (micrometer) pixels and the lenses have a rather disappointing f/2.2 aperture. A wider aperture (lower f-number) means the camera sensor will be able to capture more light and perform better in darker situations. The Galaxy Note 7 has an f/1.7 aperture and captures 1.4µm pixels while the HTC 10 has an f/1.8 aperture and captures gigantic 1.55µm-sized “UltraPixels”.

The extra monochrome sensor appears to offsets this slightly narrow aperture, as low-light results are still pretty good however. Details aren’t full of noise and the software manages to add some brightness in that doesn’t look wildly inaccurate.

 Monochrome pictures get good results, but they're hard to focus

 Even in the dark it takes some decent pictures

 Colours are bright

 And there are plenty of sharp details

The Huawei P9 Plus also has lots of camera modes. There are 14 in total, ranging from the awful Beauty mode to the pretty but time-consuming Light Painting. Monochrome is my favourite, as the results look exceptional.

A lot was made of the ‘bokeh’ effects you can achieve with the Leica branded camera. But, it doesn't live up to the hype. Instead of achieving a bokeh (this is where the foreground stays in sharp focus, while the background blurs out) through the camera tech, the Huawei P9 Plus does it through software. This leaves some odd blurring around details and a general unnatural tone.

Video recording is limited to 1080p, but it looks great and the 8-megapixel selfie camera is also good. Just steer clear of the beauty mode, as it makes you everything but beautiful.

Huawei Nova hands-on – A new budget contender enters a crowded market

Huawei has had a good year with its high-end phones, with both the Leica-engineered  P9

 impressing both the press and the public. And now it’s using IFA in Berlin to unveil a couple more affordable options.

They’re the first models in the new Nova series, and while they’re unlikely to set the world alight, there’s plenty to like – from the manageable size to the impressively fully featured spec sheets.

First up is the Nova, a phone that takes its design straight from the P9. And that certainly isn't a bad thing.

It’s all metal, with that signature strip of glass across the back to cover the camera lens. It feels great, thanks to slightly curved sides and a small footprint.

The 5-inch 1080p display helps the phone to remain compact and it’s bright and detailed. Colours are vibrant, there’s plenty of brightness, and pixels are indistinguishable. Huawei could easily have opted for a 720p panel here to cut costs, but I’m glad it didn’t. The display is covered in a sheet of 2.5D glass that curves round the edges ever so slightly.

Flip the device over and you'll discover a nice, grippy texture along with a fingerprint scanner that sits bang in the center of the rear panel. In typical Huawei fashion, the fingerprint scanner is super-fast and unlocks the phone almost the moment you brush your digit across the pad. It can be used for gestures, too, such as bringing up the notifications panel or skipping through photos.

The Huawei Nova looks decent, and it has the mid-range specs to match. Running the show is a Snapdragon 625 CPU, paired with 3GB of RAM. It’s interesting to see Huawei utilise Snapdragon’s own chips rather than the Kirin versions it tends to use.

The phone feels fast, with apps opening quickly and web pages loading without too much trouble. I wasn’t able to test it’s gaming performance, for which you'll have to wait for the full review.

On the software side of things, Huawei’s custom UI – known as EMUI – sits on top of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. EMUI certainly isn’t for everyone, and while it has seen improvements recently in both form and function, I still find it overbearing; it tries too hard to be like iOS.

There’s no app drawer, the icons are ugly and notifications panel is frustrating and feels out of place. On the plus side it's at least fluid, and you can always add your own launcher.

Apparently a Nougat update is coming, but the time frame isn’t yet definite. This will add native split-screen support and an improved Doze mode.

The Nova benefits from an impressive 32GB of internal storage, and a microSD slot if you want to expand it even further.

Huawei claims the 3,020mAh battery should last two days – which is a long shot in my mind. Still, I’ll certainly put it to the test and see whether this figure is accurate. Considering that the cell is larger than the Samsung Galaxy S7 and it has less pixels to push along with its less hungry CPU, this phone could offer plenty of stamina. Charging is via USB Type-C, and Quick Charge support is present too.

Along the bottom of the device you'll find a headphone jack and NFC for Android Pay. It seems to tick most of the boxes – so far, at least.

My biggest concern is the camera. The 12-megapixel unit with an f/2.2 aperture dramatically overexposed every test shot I took. Aim the sensor at a window and the image is unrealistically bright; aim it at a dark object and it isn't visible. This could just be a software issue, but it could also be a real downer.

Up front sits an 8-megaapixel camera, which fared a little better. But the ever-present Beauty mode is still weirdly strange.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I was a real fan of the Huawei P9, and there’s plenty to like about the Huawei Nova. It’s a cute, compact device that feels as good as its more prestigious brothers. It's feature-packed too, including everything from a healthy 32GB of internal storage to USB Type-C and a decent-sized battery.

There's a lot of competition in this particular end of the market, but Huawei could have something great on its hands here.

Oppo f1

                                                              HELLO EVERY BODY

HOW ARE YOU ?

AT FIRST I WANT TO GREATING A MUSLIMS IN OUR WIDE (HAPPY EID FOR MUSLIMS)

NOW I TALK ABOUT A NEW MOBILE (OPPO F1)

Oppo launched a new photography-centric "F-series" lineup in January, and the Oppo F1 is its debut offering. All phones that fall under this series will have some sort of unique feature that involves cameras, and what better way to kick off the series than a selfie-centric smartphone?

The F1 boasts of a front camera with a wide aperture and some software tricks to help you capture that perfect selfie. Let's see how it fares against selfie-focused phones from Asus and others.

Look and feel
In terms of build and design, the Oppo F1 is a class act. The metal chassis looks and feels incredibly premium and we love the fact that, at around 134g, it's very lightweight. The phone fits very well in your palm, with a comfortable grip and buttons that are ergonomically placed. The volume rocker and power buttons are placed on opposite sides and have good tactile feedback.

In the front, we have a 5-inch HD IPS display which produces vivid colours when used indoors, but tends to appear washed out under sunlight. The display tapers around the edges making it a smooth transition from glass to metal, and we even have Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for added strength. There's a notification LED in the upper right corner, and capacitive buttons at the bottom for navigation, which sadly aren't backlit.

The primary camera on the Oppo F1 has a 13-megapixel sensor and an aperture of f/2.2, with a single-LED flash. The speaker grille is placed at the bottom. There's also a 2500mAh battery which is non-removable. The Oppo F1 is available in Gold and Rose Gold, however the front facia will be white in both cases. The Dual-SIM tray is placed on the right and is a hybrid type, so you'll have to choose between a second SIM and a microSD card.

We don't have any complaints when it comes to the physical aspects of the phone, as Oppo has done a splendid job of putting it all together. We wish the brightness level of the display had been a tad higher for better outdoor visibility in daylight, and backlighting for the navigation buttons wouldn't have hurt either. In the box, you get a standard 5W charger, a silicone case, a headset, and some instruction booklets. The quality of the supplied accessories is good, except for the headset which feels cheap.

Specifications and software
The Oppo F1 is one of the first few phones in the market with a Snapdragon 616 processor. This new octa-core SoC from Qualcomm is virtually identical to the now-common Snapdragon 615 processor, but runs at a slightly higher clock speed. To be precise, it's the lower-power Cortex-A53 cores that run at 1.2GHz rather than 1GHz on the 615.

In addition to this, there's 3GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, support for up to 128GB microSD cards, and 4G VoLTE on band 1, 3 and 40. In terms of connectivity, we have Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, USB OTG, FM radio, and GPS. There's no NFC.

The Oppo F1 runs an Android Lollipop fork called Color OS (2.1), which is one of the better-looking and functioning custom Android forks out there. It's a single-layered interface that can be customised with different effects and themes. Oppo throws in some apps such as Security Center for monitoring data usage, freeing up memory etc.; O-Cloud, which lets you back up your contacts and messages; Kingsoft Office for working on documents and spreadsheets; and Theme Store for customising the phone.

Performance
General performance of the Oppo F1 is very good; the interface functions smoothly and apps are responsive during multitasking. The phone works well on 4G and it and runs cool for the most part. The only time we found it getting warm was during continuous video playback or when using the camera for video recording. Call quality is also very good as we didn't face any issues here.

Benchmarks showed a slight bump in scores over the Snapdragon 615, as expected. AnTuTu gave us a score of 35,531 points while GFXbench returned 23fps for the T-Rex test. Real world game performance is pretty solid, and we didn't notice any issues with heavy or casual games such as Dead Trigger 2 and Alto's Adventure. On average, there's about 2GB of free RAM available for apps.

The Oppo F1 handles high-bitrate video files with ease and also supports FLAC audio. The bundled headset feels cheap and doesn't sit in your ear comfortably, but the audio quality is pretty decent. There's no audio enhancement software. The rear speaker is decently loud for alerts but since it isn't stereo, it's not the best for watching movies.

(Tap for full-sized images)

The rear 13-megapixel camera captures fairly detailed landscapes and macros in daylight. Even indoor shots have good detailing. Pictures taken in low light tend to get a bit noisy and aren't very clear. The same goes for video recorded in low light. There's the same suite of shooting modes for the rear camera which we've seen before, including Expert mode, slow shutter and HDR, among others.

However, the highlight of the Oppo F1 is its front camera, which is an 8-megapixel shooter with an even wider aperture than the main camera. It manages to capture fairly detailed selfies under natural and artificial light while the quality dips a bit in low light. Oppo has added a couple of new functions to help people take better selfies. 

(Tap for full-sized images)

Screen flash uses the backlight of the display to illuminate your face. We prefer this to a front-firing LED flash that can be blinding. It works provided the phone is at arm's length. There's also a "Palm shutter" feature which lets you capture a selfie by waving your palm. You also get a "Beautify" filter to take care of those skin blemishes.

Battery life
The F1 lasted 8 hours and 53 minutes in our video loop test, which is pretty good for a 2500mAh battery. Under regular use with 4G enabled, we found ourselves pushing past a little more than a day before needing a charge. Sadly, there's no fast charging support on this phone so topping it up completely takes longer than we would have liked.

Verdict
The Oppo F1 is priced at Rs. 15,990, which is not bad considering its overall performance. It has a lovely design and great build quality. General performance is good, and both the front and rear cameras deliver good quality in most lighting conditions. Battery life is also solid, given the moderate capacity. It would have been nice for Oppo to have added some more creature comforts such as NFC or even backlit navigation keys, which are lacking on the F1.

The Asus Zenfone Selfie (Review) is its closest competitor in this price range, and also happens to have a very good front camera, but it isn't as compact as Oppo's offering. You can't go wrong with either phone to to be honest.

Lenovo vibe p1

Earlier this year, Lenovo began merging its Mobile Business Group with its subsidiary Motorola Mobility, and stated that future smartphones would be designed, developed and manufactured by the Motorola division. This led to speculation that Lenovo could be on the verge of killing some of its own smartphone models , including the Vibe range.

However, the company soon clarified that it doesn't intend to kill the Vibe brand and will continue to market both separately. This will come as good news for fans of Lenovo's Vibe range of smartphones, which has recently produced some quality products such as the Lenovo Vibe S1 (Review | Pictures) and the Lenovo Vibe Shot (Review | Pictures).

(Also see: Killing the Vibe Range Won't Help Lenovo or Motorola)

The company's latest devices are the Vibe P1 and P1m, both of which feature massive batteries and promise longer runtime than similarly priced competitors. On our test bench today is the Lenovo Vibe P1, which offers all the usual features that buyers look for in a smartphone, along with a 4900mAh battery. We go in-depth with the Vibe P1 in our review.

Look and feel
While the identically priced Vibe S1 has a sleek, sophisticated body and is clearly focused on looking good, the Lenovo Vibe P1 is less concerned about aesthetics and more about function. As a result, this smartphone is large, thick, and very ordinary-looking, getting nowhere near as many second glances as the beautiful S1. The edges are sharp and straight, the colours are muted and basic, and the general design has nothing special about it.

The front of the device is 72 percent screen, and reminds us of typical Samsung designs  thanks to the physical home key. The fingerprint sensor is integrated with the home key, while the Back and Recents buttons are backlit capacitive soft keys located on either side of it. The body of the phone is entirely metal, with the exception of a plastic strip on the top which hides the slots for the SIM cards and microSD card, and a small portion at the bottom which is also plastic.

The screen of the Lenovo Vibe P1 is a 5.5-inch full-HD panel, with a density of 401ppi. It's a typical IPS-LCD screen that is sharp and clear in normal light, but falls a bit short under harsh sunlight and at extreme viewing angles. The screen isn't quite as bright as we'd have liked even at the brightest level, and the ambient light sensor never seems to get the automatic brightness right. That said, it's still a great screen in terms of sharpness and colour reproduction, and is great when used indoors.

The back has a smooth, dull finish that feels great to hold. The camera and dual-tone LED flash are in the centre near the top, while the typical Vibe and Lenovo logos also find their way onto the back. The sides follow a standard layout, with the power and volume keys on the right, the 3.5mm socket and secondary microphone at the top, the Micro-USB port and speaker grilles (only the right grille actually houses a speaker) at the bottom, and a slider switch that controls the power-saver mode on the right. As previously stated, the SIM slots and microSD slot can be found under the plastic cover on the top, and are entirely hidden away when the cover is in place.

Of particular note is the power-saver slider, which switches the phone quickly between normal battery consumption and an extreme power saving mode. When in this mode, the phone switches off data connectivity and the vast majority of other functions, allowing only basic features such as calling, SMS, contacts, calculator, calendar, clock, and radio. It also displays the estimated time left at its current charge level, which is reassuring in situations where you're dealing with a low battery and need basic phone functions to be active. While the mode itself is incredibly useful, we didn't see the need for a physical slider to be dedicated to it. It would have been useful if the slider was user-customisable and could be assigned to other functions.

Also of note is the fingerprint sensor, which is located within the physical home key. It can be used to directly unlock the device from sleep mode, and usually works well. The Synaptics sensor can store and read up to two fingerprints, and for now only allows you to unlock the device. The sensor itself usually works well, but occasionally doesn't read a fingerprint, requiring you to reposition your finger and try again.

Lenovo states that the sensor can also be used to 'shop online more securely' and 'read other fingerprints'. However, allowing just two fingerprints to be stored severely limits this capability, and we didn't actually see any other use for the sensor apart from unlocking the device.

Also included is a massive 2A/7V charger, which charges the device quickly. We went from zero to 65 percent in just 35 minutes, which is impressive considering that this is a large 4900mAh battery. The package also includes an OTG adapter that will let you use the Vibe P1 as a portable battery to charge other devices. 

Specifications and software
Although the Lenovo Vibe P1 is priced the same as the Vibe S1, there are some significant differences in the two phones' specification sheets. While the latter sports a MediaTek SoC, the former features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615, which is frequently seen on smartphones in the Rs. 10,000-20,000 price range. The P1 also has 2GB RAM, which is less than the 3GB on the S1. This phone has NFC connectivity and distinct slots for both SIMs as well as the microSD card, rather than the hybrid slot seen on the S1, which means you have to choose between expandable storage and the second SIM. Internal storage on the Lenovo Vibe P1 is 32GB, which is excellent at this price range.

One of the key features of the Vibe P1 is its 4900mAh battery. Although it adds serious bulk to the device, it's also incredibly useful and will appeal to anyone who has trouble getting through a full day on a single charge.

The Vibe P1 runs Android 5.1.1, with Lenovo's Vibe UI layered on top. While previous smartphones fromLenovo have used the same single-layered user interface, the Vibe P1 interestingly starts up with a stock-Android-like dual-layered UI. It's possible to switch back to a single-layered UI if you prefer that, and it's great that users now have the choice. The rest of the interface is pretty much the same the VibeUI we've seen before, from the quick settings and status bar to the Settings app.

There are of course specific sections within the Settings app for features such as the fingerprint sensor, screen gestures, and quick snap, but the rest of the menu is identical to what we saw just recently on the Vibe S1. This includes permission controls, secure zone management and power consumption details. Most of the bloatware on the phone can be uninstalled, and we get the feeling that Lenovo's software has matured a lot now.

Camera
The Lenovo Vibe P1 has a 13-megapixel primary camera with dual-tone LED flash, and a 5-megapixel front camera. Both are capable of recording video at full-HD resolution. Although not quite as interesting as the Vibe S1 or Vibe Shot in terms of features and tricks, the cameras on the Vibe P1 are functional and capable enough.

The camera app is easy to use, with on-screen keys for quick video recording, camera switching, the flash, and HDR mode. The settings menu opens up a few more options, including manual settings, photo and video resolution, self-timer and location tagging. You can also use the volume keys to capture shots, and double tapping a volume key from anywhere on the device, including in sleep mode, will quickly launch the camera app and capture a picture if you enable that function in the settings. There is also a panorama mode, along with filters which can be applied while shooting.

The primary camera is decent in terms of detail and sharpness, and is particularly good at maintaining focus. It accurately captures moving objects and composes a decent shot where it's easy to perceive distances and details, even on the screen of the phone itself. There are some issues with colour, especially bright colours. Under intense sunlight, pictures tend to wash out, losing colour accuracy and having certain portions appear entirely white.

This leads to some problems with outdoor shots, but a bit of careful composition and focusing can reduce the saturation a little. Some noise and tearing can be detected when zoomed in deep, but in general photo quality is acceptably good and the Vibe P1 will serve most smartphone photography needs comfortably. The front camera is basic and is suitable for the occasional selfie and video chat, but selfie lovers won't find much appeal in the front camera of the Vibe P1.

Performance
The Snapdragon 615 offers decent, reliable performance on a lot of the other devices we've tested, and continues to do so on the Lenovo Vibe P1. Heavily encoded videos and graphically intensive games, as well as general day-to-day performance are all good, and we experienced no lag, stutter or crashes during our time with the phone.

The device also returned benchmark figures that are on par with what we've been seeing on other Snapdragon 615 devices. The P1 scored 35,388 and 19,995 on AnTuTu and Quadrant respectively, along with 14fps and 5496 points in GFXBench and 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme. Simply put, this phone can be expected to perform reliably.

Coming to its key feature, the phone ran for 20 hours, 38 minutes in our video loop battery test, and ran for a full two days with ordinary use. In situations where you need basic phone functionality, the power saver mode can help stretch battery life by a lot, and users who need a good phone with a solid battery will not be disappointed with the Vibe P1. The phone is also capable when it comes to holding on to cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity, and call quality is good as well. The single speaker is a bit weak in our opinion, but audio performance is fine with headphones connected.

Verdict
As smartphones get more and more powerful, battery life continues to suffer. Phones today are designed to be solid performers and have good features, but aesthetic requirements mean that many phones neglect the battery. As a result, it's becoming harder for your smartphone to last through even a single day. Phones such as the Lenovo Vibe P1 aim to fix that.

With the Vibe P1 you're getting a solid smartphone experience with all the necessary features and specifications, enough power, a decent camera and a fingerprint sensor, along with a much-needed boost to battery life. The only shortcoming of the P1 is the fact that it's a heavy phone with no real aesthetic identity. If you're okay with a heavy, average looking smartphone, the Vibe P1 has everything you need. This is an excellent mid-range smartphone and one that you should definitely consider if you're looking at buying a new device for less than Rs. 20,000.
