So, it boosted its confidence and planned the new Lenovo p2 in continuing its winning streak for the New Year. A new study by IDC has released recently, and that shows that Lenovo has seen a significant increase in sales during the summer season and holiday season around the October 2016.

As you might already know about “Lenovo has now included Motorola.” The share prices went higher after the Lenovo acquired Motorola and it has a huge demand for the smartphone models like Moto E3 power, Moto G4 Series, and also the Lenovo’s Vibe series such as Lenovo Vibe k5, k4, etc.

The Lenovo wanted to start 2017 with the launch of its new Lenovo P2. Recently Lenovo launched the Lenovo K6 power and K6 Note in December 2016. Now the company has brought the new Lenovo p2 in 2017.

Lenovo main highlights of the P2 Smartphone is its long lasting battery life. However, the Lenovo is promoting the other highlights as the design, cameras, and other security features. But the fact is the best highlight of this phone is its long lasting battery life. You can easily say the device has higher capacity which means it is having incredible 5,100 milliamp hours’ worth of the battery juice.

Now, you might have some interesting question hovering over your mind. So don’t bother about that I am going to say everything about this Lenovo p2 in this Lenovo p2 review.

Lenovo P2 Review:

Let’s first start the Lenovo p2 review with its design.

When you have a glance at the Lenovo p2 design, you might find nothing new regarding its design, but you can find the polished premium feel which attractive you gently.

You can find some lot of the empty space above and below the display same as the Lenovo vide k5. The physical home button has a fingerprint scanner which is integrated with the home button. And there is nothing new regarding design you should mention about this phone.

The p2 is going to launch in two variant colors one is champagne gold, and another one is graphite gray in India. This is about the design there is nothing more than that to say about the design of this device.

Lenovo P2 built:

The Lenovo p2 is having a bit more chin and this phone weights at 177 grams, which is bit heavier than the other devices. But Lenovo has the clear explanation for that because it has a massive battery it has some extra weight.

The Lenovo is mainly focusing on the fact that it is thinner than its other Lenovo devices and thinner than its previous model Lenovo p1. The Lenovo p2 has 8.3mm, and the Lenovo p1 has 9.9mm that means it is bit lighter than its previous version.

But the fact is, this Lenovo p2 irritates the one-handed users. Because this device is heavier, and it can’t be handle one handily, So people who strive to use the phone single-handedly will be disappointed. Where else if you use your two hands then it will be comfortable in handling the device and along with that typing is comfortable only by using two hands.

Coming to the right portion of the p2, you’ll find the volume and power buttons. There are same as its previous version. The p2 comes with the hybrid SIM tray which accepts the dual Nano SIM on the left.

The left side also has the slider switch which is so called as the “power saving key.” This tool will take you to the ultimate power saver mode. In this ultimate power saver mode, you can see the countdown timer, and that timer actually saves how much time left to complete the battery life. This button placement is good, and so you can easy save your battery life with this option.

You can find the micro USB port along with speaker grills on the bottom of the device, and it also has 3.5mm audio jack on the top of the device. Coming to the back part, the Lenovo p2 has the primary camera with the dual Led flash option on the back, and along with that, it will also have the Lenovo branding in the lower part of the device same as other Lenovo devices.

Its text and images are very apparent and sharp along with that screen size make the device stands higher in viewing angles and color reproduction.

You can see the 2.5 D curved glass covering over the display. That display and screen are beautiful, but the sad part is this Lenovo p2 is not offering scratch protection to its screen. And along with that, you can also notice minor nicks on display glass.

The front portion of the Lenovo p2 is having the front facing camera along with the notification LED, this notification LED blinks for various unread notifications. There is a fingerprint scanner that also acts as the physical home button.

You don’t find any soft buttons on the either side of the device, so you will still need android on screen overview and back buttons. The fingerprint scanner is reliable, and it is authenticated. So it is super easy to transfer payments and along with you can unlock your phone.

The scanner in Lenovo is accurate and up to mark, so it easy use the scanner, and it is hard to stay away from this unique feature.
