Lenovo P2 officially launches in India with a massive 5,100mAh battery

lenovo p2 news
It looks like Lenovo has launched yet another solid midrange device. The company has taken the wraps off of the P2, offering customers in India some pretty nice specs, different color options, and even a variety of RAM options.

Color and RAM aside, one of the nicest things about this device is that it offers a massive 5,100mAh battery, which is an absolutely huge battery and should keep your phone powered for at least two days under normal use. Lenovo, in fact, claims it should last as long as three days, which is a pretty significant amount of time.

On top of the large battery, you’ll get 24W fast charging, so when that battery does eventually run out of juice, you should be able to charge it up again relatively quickly.

The new device also features a 5.5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, along with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. Users will get to choose between 3GB and 4GB of RAM, and both options come with 32GB of storage — which can be expanded upon through a microSD card.

When it comes to the camera, you’ll get a 13MP rear-facing camera, along with a 5MP front-facing camera. There’s also a fingerprint sensor, which is actually pretty nice for a midrange device, even though more and more devices are coming with one these days. Unfortunately, the device ships with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, but an update to Android 7.0 Nougat may be on the way. Last but not least, the phone comes in two color options — either gray or gold.

If you live in India and wish to get the device, you can get it from Flipkart for 17,999 rupees, or $264 U.S. If you don’t want to spend the full amount now, there are also two financing options.

I record interviews for work. These are my favorite free recorder apps

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far
Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
