One of the USP’s of the smartphone is two front-facing cameras – an 8-megapixel shooter paired with a 2-megapixel unit that acts like a depth-sensor. The duo-camera implementation lets you refocus your selfies after they are taken. Right from adding DSLR-like blur effects to swapping backgrounds, you can add a dash of creativity to your selfies.

Lenovo is also focusing on the design aspect, instead of battling the specifications war. The Vibe S1 comes with a metal frame and glass-back design that adds a premium look and feel to it.
