The Lenovo Phab is the bigger, but lower spec’d cousin of the Lenovo Phab Plus. It packs a humongous IPS display, which practically makes it a tablet, and is powered by a quad-core processor.

Design and Display
The device shows off similar design as the Phab Plus, except that it comes in slightly larger. It is both thicker and heavier at 8.9 mm and 250 g respectively – the other device measures 7.6mm thick and 229 g in weight.
The Lenovo Phab crams in a massive 6.98-inch diagonal display, only 0.2 inches smaller than a tablet screen. The IPS LCD touchscreen has an HD resolution for a pixel density of just 210 ppi.
Camera and Storage
Lenovo Phab boasts impressive cameras as its Plus brother, even though a device this big is not one many people would desire to take pictures with. On the rear, you will find a 13-megapixel snapper with LED flash and autofocus.
The selfie shooter is a robust-looking 5-megapixel sensor. Inbuilt storage is 16 GB and this is expandable by up to 64 GB using a microSD card.
Hardware and Software
Unlike the more-expensive Phab Plus that packs an octa-core processor, Lenovo Phab is equipped with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor which runs along at speeds of up to 1.2 GHz. The 64-bit chip relies on 1 GB of RAM to deliver whatever level of multitasking it can muster.
Graphics processing is seen to by an Adreno 306 GPU. The unusual phablet boots Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, with Lenovo’s Vibe UI resting on top of it.
Additional Features
Lenovo Phab is decked out to supply rich sound with speakers tuned by Dolby Atmos 3D Surround Sound technology. For power, it relies on a large 4250mAh battery rated to be capable of delivering up to 24 hours of talk time.
The device boasts dual-SIM functionality and supports multiple-band 4G LTE connectivity for incredibly fast mobile internet browsing. Other connectivity options include microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi a/b/g/n. Lenovo Phab will reportedly have a mode that allows single-handed usage.
Pricing & Availability
Lenovo Phab is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in Nigeria. Lenovo Phab price in Nigeria is expected to range from N35,000 to N45,000 depending on your location in the country.
