The design language of Lenovo
Vibe S1 and Vibe P1 is simply impeccable. Both phones flaunt a sassy look, but they
are totally different from one another. The new Vibe P1, at the first place,
boasts a beautifully crafted metal body and gives reminiscence of the famous
HTC One series. The device includes a fingerprint sensor for enhanced security,
and is barely 9.9mm thick and 187 grams heavy. It looks very sturdy and has a
subtle touch of class as well!
The new Vibe S1, on the other
hand, looks very elegant, sleek, and compact. The premium looking device
features a metal unibody construction and boasts a sturdy metal frame with a
beautifully crafted curved-glass panel on the rear. It includes diamond cut
chamfered edges and looks absolutely stunning from all angles. Its glossy
finish and non-backlit capacitive buttons are small disappointments, but on whole,
the entire package looks extremely alluring!
Display Quality
As far as visual experience is
concerned, apart from design, there is hardly anything different between Lenovo
Vibe S1 and Vibe P1. Both metal-built devices feature full-HD display panels
protected by Gorilla Glass 3, and deliver a crisp and vivid viewing experience.
They pack enhanced pixel density with viewing angles up to 180 degrees, and
produce true-to-life images even bright sunlight. You can enjoy games and
movies at their very best with both these phones!
Hardware and Performance
The innards of Lenovo Vibe S1 and
Vibe P1 are completely different. The sturdy Vibe P1 powers up by an octa-core
Snapdragon 615 SoC clocked at 1.5GHz, while its sassy counterpart houses an
octa-core MediaTek MT6752 chip tickling at 1.7GHz. They both belong to
different genres, but their performance remains right on the mark. You’ll not
witness any lag or stutter, and will get a perfect user-experience on both
phones. Although additional 1GB RAM on Vibe P1 is a plus side for gamers and
high-end users, 2GB on Vibe S1 will also perform pretty smoothly even on
high-end usage!
Software
The operating system of Vibe S1
and P1 is pretty slick and user-friendly. Both phones run the latest version of
Android with a layer of Lenovo’s highly customized Vibe UI on the top. The feature-rich
UI of both phones includes a bunch of elements like secure zone, double tap to
wake, and apps like, Evernote, SHAREit, SYNCit, WeChat, Truecaller, and Guvera
Music. Several under-the-hood improvements have made Vibe UI faster, lighter,
and more efficient than Stock Android. It brings a complete makeover and runs
all your favorite Google apps with perfection!

Camera Setup
 |
| Lenovo Vibe S1 |
Here comes the biggest difference
between Vibe S1 and P1. The duo camera setup of Vibe S1 looks like a better
choice over the standard 5MP secondary shooter of Vibe P1. The camera app of
both phones is clutter-free and the rear camera is geared with a 13-megapixel
sensor with auto-focus, fast-focus PDFA technology, and dual-tone LED flash.
They deliver crisp and vibrant images even in dark environments and perform far
better than standard 13-megapixel shooters.
As far as the front camera
concerned, the first-ever duo-camera setup of Vibe S1 performs far better than
the 5MP unit featured on Vibe P1. The 8MP front-facing camera of Vibe S1 with
f/2.2 aperture and BSI sensor gives you crisp selfies and is perfectly
supported by the additional 2MP camera, which analyzes depth of field to give
bright and lifelike images in all environments. It gives you unprecedented
creative options with added features and retains natural color tones even dull
and ambient light.
Battery Backup
The battery backup offered by
Vibe S1 and Vibe P1 creates one of the biggest line of difference between the
two phones. The sleek, elegant and compact Lenovo Vibe S1 houses a decent 2,420
mAh battery, and offers sufficient amount of charge for an entire day of
standard usage. However, its counterpart Vibe P1 fuels up by a massive 4900mAh
battery and makes up a perfect package for on-the-go users. The battery of this
handset will give more than enough juice to keep things up and running even on
heaviest usage.
Price
To everyone’s surprise, Lenovo
Vibe S1 and Vibe P1 both are available at the same price tag of Rs, 15,999.
Vibe S1 is available exclusively via Amazon.in, while Vibe P1 is rolling via
its arch rival Flipkart.com. Both phones come bundled with a slew of offers,
and take on the likes of devices like OnePlus X, Moto X Play, and ZenFone
Selfie.
Final Verdict
To sum things up, we can say,
both phones offer an ultimate package for the buyers. If you’re looking for a
sassy phone with an impeccable front-facing camera, go with Lenovo Vibe S1,
else if you’re looking for top-tier performance with long-lasting battery backup,
try out the powerful Vibe P1. The device looks sturdy and spectacular, and has
everything on board to cater all your needs with perfection!
You can play around with either
of these phones, and can explore a perfect user-experience without any lags,
stutters, or thermal issues. They look very impressive and deliver outstanding
performance, for which Lenovo is known since years!
