    Best for the price

    I was using Moto G for nearly 2 years. I wanted new phone so I researched for 1 month and settled for Vibe P1. I got this phone for 14.5k after applying SBI Credit card for 10% discount. Reasons why I chose Vibe P1 are given below: Bad things people say about Vibe P1: 1. Less RAM: As I wanted to show off to my friends 3GB or 4GB. But personally I know that 2GB is more than enough for my regular use, and also fair for the price I'm paying. So no comments. 2. Screen is not so bright: But you can observe that only when you put another phone beside P1. In regular use you won't feel it. Also from settings you can turn on Super brightness mode to get amazing quality of brightness to put other phones to shame. 3. Heavy weight: It almost slipped twice from my hand the day I received it. Its heavy plus the back side don't have grip and even the cover also not helps in gripping. But after some days of use I'm used to its grip (See Update in the end of my review). I also don't feel weight too much because being Moto user which are usually heavy. 4. Camera: I don't know why people are complaining too much about camera, come on it's mobile not DSLR. I think its ok for the price you are paying. And also all mobiles' cameras are not good as professional cameras and struggle in low light conditions. I own Sony cybershot, so anyways I'm not going to use my phone for clicking vacation pics, this Vibe P1 camera is sufficient for my occasional use. If you know how to use mobiles camera (touch to focus and other adjustments), then you can get awesome pictures by it. It click the pic as soon as you touch the button, super-fast. You can click pics even when screen is off by double pressing any volume button. 5. No earphone: It's clearly mentioned in contents section of flipkart page, so why you people complain? It may have helped them to put a OTG adopter+ Screen guard+ Back cover, which you usually don't find with other phones. 6. Heating: Only people who have not updated 215MB+38MB update are complaining about heating. When you get this phone, immediately install these two updates to lower your frustration. ;) I played 4 hrs game today and found no unusual heating etc. And people stop using your phone while its being charged, as you know its 4900mAh huge battery and it is getting charged in only 1.5 hrs so its normal to generate some heat. So let it charge peacefully for for 1.5 hrs then you can use it for 2 days without interruption. 7. Creepy sound coming form home button: Some users complain this bizarre problem, but I didn't found it. May be its unique problem to some devices only. Good things about Vibe P1: 1. Battery: I'm a heavy user, I play games, browse internet over wifi, make long calls. On extreme use by me on this Saturday, it gave me around 24 hrs of backup (includes 4 hours of gaming, 11 hours of Wifi use, 2 hours of call, Few hours of Video playback and other stuff). In normal use it would last 2-2.5 days OR 9-10 hours of Screen on time. 2. Fast Charging: It Gets full charge in 1.5 hrs, which is superb. Moto X Play also supports fast charging but they haven't provided a fast charger with Moto X play so you have to spend 20k for phone+ Price for charger. Whereas I got my Vibe P1 for 14.5k only. So its value for money. 3. Fingerprint Scanner: It works very well, with nearly 9:10 successful recognition. You don't have to press power button to wake phone, just put your finger and it will wake+unlock the device. My friend owns iPhone 5S and this Vibe P1 makes his phone ashamed by its fast wake+unlock feature. 4. Loooooud Speaker: Its too much loud, can wake up the neighbors ;) And the audio output is good too. Also note that the only right grill is for speaker, left grill is for microphone. So if you don't hear sound form left grill, just don't freak out. They give both sides same design to maintain the look of the phone. 5. Looks: This phone looks so premium like >30k phones by other companies. No one can guess its price by just looking at it. It has full metal body, which is also good to dissipate heat if any generated. 6. Miscellaneous: This phone does not lag on normal use, heats or anything else. Also note that only top part of back side opens to insert 2 SIMs and 1 microSD card. I found no proper review of this phone on any site, but I'm thankful to all users on flipkart for clearing my doubts by their positive reviews. Thanks for bearing with my poor English, but I hope you get all what I wanted to say. UPDATE (26 DEC 2015): It fell form my hand (credit goes to its grip less back) while I was on bike, display broken into pieces and looking so ugly, but touch & fingerprint working. The free transparent back cover broken into pieces. Lenovo Service Center will charge 9k for display replacement. So as soon you get this put tempered glass and good quality of back cover to prevent any accidental damage.

    Excellent product

    *I play games on ipad.hence the same not tested. (Do you really think one can play but enjoy games on 7 inch below display?) Looks its premium 10/10 UI is the best I interacted with so far (lots of buttons free and battery saving options) Display 10/10 (i exchanged K3 note for P1) Battery 10/10 ( strictly 1.30 min enough to charge fully from 5%) Performance No lag or whatever Heating NIL ( its snapdragon not mediatek processor/ While charging yes it does heat but I don't think there is any device which wont heat up while charging) Call quality 10/10 (noise cancellation does excellent job) in 2g u will get 3g call quality.2 hrs non-stop active call(no drops,no heating) Camera (best in day light,even DSLR cant perform in night lights.so dont expect from any phones) Speaker 10/10 Loud and clear Fingure print recognition Excellent Its Dual NANO sim not micro SIM (one tray holding 2 SIMs) and micro SD card slot separate. #Battery maintenance. 1. Initially charge and discharge battery 5%-100% for full calibration.I feel,my phone backup is improving. 2.In setting under Power manager, Background app management/ Disable all the apps which you don't want to AUTO START. 3.Try COMFORT mode in settings-Display-Colour balance. It safe for eyes also battery saver. **** dont listen to ppl complaining heating,call drop....etc

    Very attractive looks

    Looks extremely good! and I don't mind the little extra weight, generally like phones on the heavier side, feels robust. - Fingerprint is working very well and is a very good addition in this price range. - First time VIBE UI experience and its not bad and the firmware update gave the option to choose Google style UI as well with app drawer --> So no complaints. Need to dig more on different features like gestures etc. - Normal electronic goods heating, nothing alarming - 32 gigs + 32 gigs (SD Card) --> enough space for all the needs - Screen is excellent - Camera needs to be tested further - The power button is fine but it is shaking a lot. Doesn't feel sturdy. Not sure if it is the case for all. - Slight lags in apps, here and there --> Can be ignored. Not really a problem Overall a great phone for the money and completely satisfied till now.

    Nice phone to own!

    Phone's build quality is excellent. Charging completes in no time. Battery backup is good. 32GB storage is good enough. More than 1GB RAM is always available. Excellent fingerprint sensor. Screen resolution is good. Performance is good. No lag. Scores around 40k with Antutu. Call quality is good. No signal drop noticed. No issues with Wifi reception. Expected Airtel 4G speeds noticed. Rear camera is good but not exceptional. Takes a bit of time to switch from camera to preview and back. Selfie quality is acceptable. Comes with a transparent protective shell for the rear part. Screen guard included in package. No headset. Feels a bit heavy. Not too slim. Gets warm with moderate to heavy usage. CPU-Z reports more than 50 degree reading sometimes. Apply the latest firmware update to get rid of "News Alerts" issue. Overall a clean job from Lenovo. Excellent exchange offer from flipkart. Happy customer I am! And so a 5 star.

    Beast in Metal known as Transformer and i know it as VIBE P1

    I was so lazy to open a laptop and write a review (a honest review) of this phone. After reading all ridiculous comments given by people who gave only 1 star or 2 to this phone, I decided to write my own review. Let me start with Cons as we all tech lovers do find cons in any device first. 1. Support for only few regional languages. No support for Gujarati and Punjabi. Now this can be a deal backer for Gujju as msgs in Gujarati one can not directly read on apps or browser (though can use third party software to read). 2. Lenovo should have given 3 GB RAM. 2 GB RAM is sufficient for day to day activities and even while playing games like Asphalt 8 or etc.. 3. Vibe UI. After using MIUI on Yu Yureka, I must say I can't be a fan of any other Custome UI than MIUI (MIUI is the best). Though there is an option to switch to Android UI so not a con but still. After heavy usage i could find only these 2 cons (these are not exactly cons also at this price point). Now, before i start with Pros, let me clarify few things. Nowadays companies do not provide earphones and even if they do people buy 3rd party earphones for good results, so please don't complain that, Lenovo did not provide earphones. Let us start with Pros. 1. Super fast charging. Considering this has 4900 mah battery, The charging time it takes to charge the entire phone is 1 hour and 15mins. 2. Awesome battery back up. I am a heavy user (Almost 3-4 hours of Surfing on 3G/Wifi, 1 hour of watching videos on youtube and 1 hour of playing games). Still battery lasts for atleast 30 hours. I get screen ontime of 7 hours and more. 3. 32 GB Of storage and that too expandable and OTG support is like SONE PE SUHAGA. 4. Fingerprint scanner - works well. An added security measure. 5. 13 MP camera...not best in class but much better at this price point. 6. Call quality - Excellent. Much better than Zenfone 5, Yu Yureka and Samsung E5 (I own these hence can compare). 7. Sound - Speaker is very very loud. Trust me guys after using Yu Yureka, Zenfone 5, Samsung E5, Samsung Grand 2 and Lumia 1320, 535 and 625, I must say the sound is pretty loud. 9. 5.5 Inch Full HD display. 10. Gorilla glass protection plus FREE Back cover and display film. 11. No HEATING issue. I read comments on review that, there are heating issues. Trust me guys i tested myself after playing cricket for 30 mins, Asphalt 8 for 1 hour and played 1080p videos on youtube for more than 1 hour continuously and i could not find any heating issue. Though phone gets heated while charging but that's little. Further, if you use back cover than you won't fell that as well. 12. An awesome feature of OTG charging, with this u can charge others phone. This phone will work as POWER BANK. 13. Last but not the least, Full Metal body with awesome look. Guys, you can go for this device if you are always on the go and looking for better battery back up, as this phone comes with 32 GB of internal storage (plus expandable) you can store many movies and can enjoy your journey without standing in long lines for charging phones.

    This is the review on the first day of the phone., Shape - Very good than expected. Weight - compatible Screen - Wide and clear ( I am iphone user before, I feel touch is good as it) At first felt had to remove slipslot :) then all fine. Nice phone ( more than expected for the price) Giving 4 star for now., After full usage probably can give 5.

    So far so good !!!

    The phone is just as said in the specs, the highlight of the phone is the fingerprint tech. 13 mp camera does its work well. But I felt it can do little more better. A big 2015 mb update was done. This is first day review. All good as of now, will update later on using the phone to its max :-)

    My feedback after 1month of usage

    Phone is priced at decent rate compared to the specs. Battery performance was good in early days. But phone used to shutdown automatically when the charging level falls below 30%. A reset resolved the issue. Fast charging adapter performed well for first 20 days. According to my obeservations 1% to 40% took 45min and 40% to 100% took 10min. very impressed to see 4900MAh battery recharged in 1hr.This was the case in early days. But these days,it became even worse. 1 whole night charging didn't reached the 100% mark(from 8%). Tried resetting the phone. No change in charging performance. I am leaving it whole night in charging. Here are my other observations. Phone some times showed lag with the opening/switching in between apps. People complained about hearing their own voice while in call with speaker enabled. Front camera performance is very poor in Video calls when used with Hangouts. Cannot redial the last received or dialled number, directly using Bluetooth headset's call button. Need to manually unlock the phone and have to dial using the phone's keypad.
