Reviews: Lenovo X3 ( Software and Perforance)

Software and Performance
The Vibe X3 runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Lenovo made a note of scaling back on its custom Vibe UI for this one and going for a more stock look. Right off the bat, you will notice that the company now has a standard launcher with an app drawer, similar to the Google Now Launcher, whereas previously all the apps would appear on the homescreen. The pop-up dialogues in the UI also have the native Lollipop look to them.Beyond that, however, things are a bit disappointing, as it is very much the Vibe UI but with a white and gray theme designed to mimic stock Android look. The way Vibe UI is trying to replicate the vanilla Android experience is equal parts amusing and frustrating. Just imagine all the time the company must have spent trying to make its UI look like stock Android when it could have just used... you know, stock Android.
Granted, the UI does look better than before, an area that has traditionally been a weak point for Lenovo phones. Some of Lenovo's customizations are welcome too, such as the expanded notification center. Hopefully, the company will move closer to stock Android in the future while maintaining the additional functionality that it has to offer.
As for the performance, the phone performed very well in day to day tasks. The Snapdragon 808 is not exactly a flagship chipset, but it has more than enough power for your messaging and social networking apps to work without a hitch. Where it falters is in gaming, an area where it could have used some more juice. This is especially true for heavy 3D games, which don't run as smoothly as you'd like. Lighter 3D games and 2D games are not an issue.

Camera
The Vibe X3 has a 21 megapixel Sony IMX230 sensor with hybrid autofocus, which has added phase detection autofocus. It's, essentially, the same sensor as on the Moto X Style but the results aren't quite as good, a fact we are willing to attribute to Lenovo's take on image processing.The camera often blows highlights in brightly lit situations and Lenovo's artistic HDR modes are quite useless as they turn the image into a Jackson Pollock painting. In low light, focusing is a hit or miss, and the image quality itself is not satisfactory. The camera makes you work a bit to get the best out of it, which not everybody would have the patience for. Lenovo's camera app, however, is pretty good, and better than what you find on Motorola or Nexus phones.
The phone also supports 4K video, and while the quality is decent, it's not an exception and we have seen better before. The lack of OIS also doesn't help, either.
