Lenovo Vibe C2/Moto E
Overall, Lenovo's acquisition of
Motorola isn't a total flop, but hasn't generated too much profit either. What
has stemmed from the whole ordeal, however, is a lot of controversy regarding
the future of the Moto brand. A newly uncovered Lenovo device might actually be
the first sign of an ongoing phasing process within the company, or at least,
some form of product line remodeling, which was expected from the get go.
The device in question, featured in an
extensive leak from today, is said to be the Lenovo Vibe C2. It looks like an
upcoming entry-level offer, featuring a 5-inch 720p display, MediaTek MT6735P
SoC, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB or 16 GB of storage. Other alleged specs include a
rather modest 8 MP plus 5 MP camera setup, LTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, all powered
by a 2,750 mAh battery.
As for the Moto connection, the new
device is said to bear an XT1021 model number. It does look suspiciously
similar to existing Moto E numbers, like XT1527, XT1511, XT1505 & XT1524.
This could be a coincidence, but the more likely explanation is that this will
actually be the next Moto E phone on most markets. The Vibe C2 moniker will
likely be used exclusively in Asia, where Lenovo did recently release the Vibe
C.
