Lenovo tries its hand at a camera phone

Sounds like a sex toy

Lenovo is showing off its first serious moves into making a camera phone.

Dubbed the Vibe Shot which sounds like something you would buy from a sex shop, it appropriately comes with a Lollipop OS.

The phone has a 16-megapixel rear camera and an 8MP front-facing shooter. Other photo-focused features include optical image stabilisation, infrared autofocus, and a tri-color LED flash. Lenovo hopes to launch the Vibe Shot in June starting at $349.

It is not a bad price considering its high-midrange specs. The phone has a Snapdragon 615 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage plus a MicroSD card slot, and a 5" 1080p screen.

Vibe Shot has a thin 7.3mm profile and manual shutter button making it look like one of the older super-portable point and shoot cameras. A 2900mAh battery is an impressive inclusion, as is Android 5.0 at launch. It is also a Dual-SIM LTE.

Sadly we are unlikely to see it as Lenovo is peddling only Motorola phones in the US and EU which means if you want one you have to go to the Asia Pacific area, which is a bit of a hike.
