Design and Display
With a design featuring metal, Lenovo Phab Plus has a premium touch to it. It parades an attractive svelte profile at a thickness of only 7.6 millimetres, but it is on the heavy side at 229 grams – not quite surprising given its size.
Lenovo Phab Plus crams in a massive 6.8-inch diagonal display which puts it very close to the tablet category. The IPS touchscreen has a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels for 324-ppi pixel density.
Camera and Storage
Lenovo Phab Plus impresses for a device of this size on the camera front. It features a 13-megapixel main camera with dual-LED flash, face detection and autofocus. On the front is a 5-megapixel camera for selfie taking and video/Skype calls.
Onboard storage capacity is 32 GB, expandable by up to 64 GB via the microSD card slot.
Hardware and Software
Lenovo Phab Plus looks capable of handling impressive multitasking with the provision of an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, which is clocked at 1.5 GHz.
The 64-bit chip is helped along by decent 2 GB of RAM, while an Adreno 405 GPU takes charge of graphics processing. The humongous device runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system which has been tweaked to allow you type comfortably with just one hand.
Additional Specs and Features
Lenovo Phab Plus is equipped with a 3,500mAh battery, rated to deliver up to 24 hours of talk time. It has dual-SIM card slots, with one doubling as a microSD card slot. Speedy 4G LTE connectivity is supported (both FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE bands).
Connectivity features include microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.0, 3G and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac with Wi-Fi Direct. Dolby Atmos 3D Surround Sound is supported, to go with the massive display, for immersive gaming and movie viewing.
