The successor of Lenovo's Vibe P1 called the Lenovo Vibe P2 has been spotted on Chinese telecom regulator TENAA, which suggests that the handset will be launched sooner than later.
The Chinese smartphone maker unveiled the Vibe P1 in September 2015 and the handset hit the shelves within a month. It seems that Lenovo is all prepared to unveil the successor of the Vibe P1 as TENAA has cleared an unknown device, which could likely be the Vibe P2.
The device has a codename of P2c72. Late in July this year, the Lenovo smartphone showed up on Geekbench revealing its hardware specs, and now a TENAA listing confirms some of the previously leaked hardware specs of the Vibe P2.
According to the TENAA website (in Chinese), the Vibe P2 will sport a 5.5-inch Full HD 1080p display. An octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor clocked at 2.0 GHz and Adreno 506 GPU are expected to power the Lenovo phone.
The Lenovo Vibe P2 will be a midrange phone but will sport 4 GB of RAM. Smartphone customers can expect it to be available with 32 GB or 64 GB internal storage options. The Vibe P1 had an option to expand the storage capacity with a microSD card, so it is highly likely that the Vibe P2 will include a microSD card slot too.
The upcoming smartphone is also estimated to be equipped with a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel selfie camera, which is the same one found on the Vibe P1.
The Vibe P1 comes with a massive 5,000 mAh battery, which offers talk time of up to 44 hours on 3G and up to 45 hours on 4G. Standby time is 25 days on 3G and 30 days on 4G. Rumors suggest that the Vibe P2 will also include a 5,000 mAh battery, which will offer more or less the same amount of talk time and standby time.
According to TENAA, the Lenovo device will be available in three color options: gold, silver and gray. The mobile device is expected to measure 153 x 76 x 8.29 millimeters, or about 6.02 x 2.99 x 0.32 inches. The Vibe P1 weighs 189 grams, or around 6.66 ounces, but the Vibe P2 could be lighter as it may weigh 179 grams, or about 6.31 ounces.
The price and release date for the Vibe P2 are not yet known. But given that the Vibe P1 is available in the United States via Amazon for $223.99 and from GearBest for $208.40, customers can expect the next-generation Vibe P2 to be available at an affordable price of about $250.
