Lenovo at its IFA press event in Berlin has introduced Vibe S1. The smartphone is designed to impress the selfie enthusiasts with its two front-facing cameras. Lenovo Vibe S1 also has an attractive curved glass back design.
The dual selfie camera setup consists of an 8-megapixel primary front camera that captures images and a 2-megapixel secondary front camera will analyze the depth of field information, which will try to replicate human binocular vision.

The device packs 32GB of internal storage, but you can expand that by up to 128GB via microSD card. On the back, there’s a 13 megapixel rear camera with dual-tone flash completing the camera department.
