Comparisons Featuring Lenovo Vibe C
Short Review
- The Lenovo Vibe C features a simple design with a glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame, measuring 143.5 x 71.8 x 9 mm and weighing 166 grams.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset with a quad-core 1.1 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording 720p video at 30fps and a 2 MP front camera, which are basic but functional for casual photography.
- The battery capacity is 2300 mAh, providing moderate longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, the software experience is dated, lacking the latest features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for wired audio.
- Overall, the Lenovo Vibe C is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
