CES: Lenovo Vibe Z video demo

Device boasts a 2.2GHz processor and 13MP camera

LAS VEGAS: Lenovo showed off its first LTE smartphone, the Lenovo Vibe Z, at CES in Las Vegas on Sunday. V3 was there to see how it could perform in the crowded phone market.

The Lenovo Vibe Z is powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and has a 5.5in 1920x1080 HD display. It comes running Google's Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system, which the firm has coated with its own custom user interface.

The handset measures in at just 7.9mm thick, and despite being crafted almost entirely from plastic, it feels very sturdy.

The Lenovo Vibe Z also features 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a 13MP rear-facing camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. It will be released in the US priced at $549, but as yet it is unclear if it will launch in the UK.
