To appeal to the heavy users, Lenovo have announced the Lenovo Vibe P1 and Lenovo Vibe P1m. Both smartphones feature large batteries, but in different size packages and tweaked hardware to match.

The Lenovo Vibe P1 features a 5000mAhĀ battery with fast charging tech named ā€œRocket Chargeā€ which can give the phone 2.8 hours of talk time in just 5 minutes of charing. The P1 also gets a larger 5.5-inch FHD display and Snapdragon 615.

      Not really since there’s not stopping you getting it from ebay, ali or other good Chinese online stores.

      It’s a pity for the average American who will not even have an idea about this phone but yeah …

        Oh of course. But without an official release there is a good chance they won’t have 4G LTE support in the US.

      Yeah it really sucks having the SD615 with all its heating issues. Anyone knows if the 2nd Gen performs better or produces less heat?
