Lenovo Vibe P1M review: Big on battery and performance, low on price

Lenovo is in a sort of frenzy since the beginning of this year. At least in India. After being relatively quiet in the smartphone market until the end of 2014, the company has launched phone after phone this year. Mostly, it has targeted the mainstream market, offering people devices that can be deemed value for money.

It is a strategy that has worked, even though there is tough competition from companies like Xiaomi, Micromax and Motorola, which incidentally is also owned by Lenovo. Now the Chinese company is changing gears. There is a slight shift in the strategy. The focus is not only on giving people devices that they find good value for money but also on enticing them with a halo feature.

The Lenovo Vibe P1M and Vibe P1 are part of this strategy. The USP of these two phones is the battery life even though both are part of two different price brackets. The Vibe P1 is a more expensive phone with the price of Rs.15,999. But the Vibe P1M is affordable. It is priced at Rs.7,999 and for its price it offers a lot of value.
