The Lenovo Vibe X2 comes with a unique multi-layer exterior design. Meaning, the handset's metallic construction looks as though many differently coloured layers of metal are affixed together to get the 7.3 mm thickness, when looked from the side. Moreover, Lenovo has also said that it will provide two proprietary snap-on layers/covers in addition to the existing ones. These additional layers are dubbed as VIBE Xtension smart layers. One such layer has the capability to increase the phone battery's capacity by 75%, while the other layer provides hi-fi JBL audio and a kickstand to hold the device. Adding cherry on top, both the add-on layers will protect the device from accidental drops, reports Phone Arena.

Moreover, the device is backed by a good 2 GB of RAM and it comes with 32 GB storage capacity. According to umpteen benchmark test scores, the MediaTek processors trail behind Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoCs. However, this particular MediaTek processor is quite impressive when compared to others, even with a heavy usage, opines the same site.

Furthermore, there is a solid 13 MP Sony sensor as the primary unit with LED flash, in addition to a surprisingly good 5 MP front-facing snapper for selfies. On battery configuration, the Vibe X2 comes equipped with a good 2300 mAh unit and it runs on Android v4.4 KitKat OS. Speaking of size, the device is very thin and light at 0.29-inch and 120 g, respectively.
