Lenovo PHAB 2 Plus with 6.4-inch full HD display, 13-megapixel dual-cameras launched in India, priced at Rs 14,999: Specifications, features

Lenovo has launched the Phab 2 Plus in India. The smartphone, which has been priced at Rs. 14,999, will go on sale via Amazon India from 1pm IST on Tuesday itself in Champagne Gold and Gunmetal Grey colours. Buyers can take advantage of exchange deals up to Rs 10,982, which can potentially bring the price of the phablet down to Rs 4,017. Other offers include the chance to win 100 percent cashback, and 10GB data at the price of 1GB from Idea Cellular.

The latest smartphone in the company's Phab series of phablets, or smartphone-tablet hybrids, the Lenovo Phab 2 Plus was first unveiled in June, alongside the Lenovo Phab 2 and Lenovo Phab 2 Pro.

As the name suggests, the PHAB 2 Plus is the successor to the PHAB Plus that was launched in India last year. Lenovo has changed a lot in terms of the design, and the new phablet is more in line with the current trends. The company has used aluminum alloy to build the device, and along with the 2.5D curved glass, it adds to the overall premium factor. One thing to note though is that the PHAB 2 Plus has a “smaller” 6.4-inch display compared to the 6.8-inch display on its predecessor.
