Lenovo Vibe X3 release date: Upcoming Lemon X's specs leak online

Lenovo Vibe X2 Lenovo

The specs for the Lenovo Vibe X3, also known as the Lemon X, have emerged online.

According to a report from Napidroid (via Gadgets360), the smartphone will utilize a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 SoC composed of two Cortex A57 cores and four A53 cores. Altogether, this gives 1.44 GHz processing power aided by the phone's 3 GB RAM. According to the benchmark results, the phone scored 3,167 multi-core points and 863 single-core points, making it round out nicely as a mid-range smart phone.

The Vibe X3 will feature a 5-inch full HD display and a 21 MP rear camera that features dual-LED flash. It will have a high quality 8 MP front camera. Right below the rear camera, the leaked photo also showcases a fingerprint sensor. It will have 4G LTE capabilities and will be running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop right out of the box.

Because this is the first Lenovo phone reportedly being designed by Motorola, the Vibe X3 will resemble recent Motorola devices instead of past Lenovo handsets. This would explain the use of a metal frame with antenna bands on its rear panel and a pill-shaped panel containing the dual-LED flash and fingerprint sensor. 

One new aspect it has that is not seen in previous Motorola designs is the Multi-Window button on the front panel. The other two buttons are for Home and Back. 

However, the phone has no official release date information at this point and no price estimate has been released. Given that the Vibe X3 is a mid-range phone, it is expected to cost much less than the flagship Lenovo devices, which, for comparison, are already more affordable than the flagship iPhone devices.

It is important to note that these are alleged benchmark specs and not the official specs released by Lenovo. With that in mind, these may not be the final specs of the device when it is released.
