Out of the many devices that got unveiled at the IFA earlier this month, only a few went on to truly stand out. And the Vibe X2 from Lenovo was certainly one.
Not only does the smartphone pack a punch with powerful internals, but it is also one of the most eye-pleasing devices to have seen light of day this year. Lenovo claim the Vibe X2 to be the world's first 'layered smartphone'; we aren't really in a position to argue upon that, but we do admit that the phone does look quite unique with the design it has.
Specifications
5-inch 1920 x 1080p display
2.0GHz MediaTek MT6595m octa-core CPU
2GB RAM
32GB non-expandable storage
13 megapixel rear camera
5 megapixel front camera
2300mAh non-removable battery
Android v4.4 KitKat
The specifications aren't chartbusting in any way, but the Vibe X2 isn't meant to be a flagship. It's rather aimed at those who like let their phones reflect a bit of their style.
There's no word on a date when the Vibe X2 will be available in India. However, a listing on the official site means that it's only around the corner...

OnePlus' StyleSwap covers might have been a fail, but that hasn't stopped the young Chinese company to work on more add-ons for its first phone. In this case, the accessory isn't just limited to the OnePlus One.
The new pair of earphones launched by the company go by the Silver Buller moniker. As is with other OnePlus products, the Silver Bullets are too designed in a way that would attract any tech enthusiast.
What's more, these buds cost just US$15, and will be available to buyers in the launch countries. Before you get your hopes high, we'd like to let you know that they're currently listed out of stock on the listing. They however will be available for order starting next week.
The earphones come with an in-line module that houses three buttons, which you can use to control your music, volume and interestingly, even your camera. It isn't known yet about how much of this functionality would work on non-OnePlus phones, however.
We only hope that these buds are a bit easier to get hold of than the OnePlus One itself. Even months after launch, people are finding it difficult to have the One in their hands. OnePlus did announce the pre-order policy ...

HTC has released a 37 second teaser video in line with the event that features a number of people posing into what appears to be camera.
