Lenovo unveils Vibe Z, 1080p flagship phablet

Lenovo has unveiled their Vibe Z flagship device today, following the launch of the Vibe X at this year's IFA event.
The Z has a metal body but a similar design to its older brother, and the company has said the phone is aimed at young adults outside of China.

On the spec side, the Vibe Z has a large 5.5" display with 1080p resolution, is powered by a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB RAM and an Adreno 330 GPU.

At launch, the device will run on Android 4.2.2.



For cameras, the device has a 13MP rear sensor with LED flash, and the front has an overkill 5MP sensor. Overall, the phone is just 6.9mm thick.

Pricing and availability were not revealed, but Lenovo did say Android 4.4 KitKat is on the roadmap.
