The Lenovo VIBE S1 is now launched in Malaysia, the company’s first dual selfie camera smartphone.
The Lenovo VIBE S1 is unique because of its dual selfie cameras – the 8MP primary front camera takes the “sharpest photos” and a 2MP secondary front camera analyzes depth of field information to replicate human binocular vision. These two cameras work in tandem to unleash a myriad of new possibilities that can give selfies a creative twist, Lenovo said.
After taking a selfie with both cameras, there are various options to modify the selfie by selecting from a number of built-in photo editing tools. ‘Blur’ allows refocusing anywhere on the seflie (up to 3 focal plains) or adding a ‘bokeh’ effect to the background to stylize a selfie or simply to get rid of a photo bomber. With ‘Cut Out’, people can be cropped out of a selfie and then placed on any other image (from a wide selection preloaded on the VIBE S1 or downloaded from the internet), and even on a photo taken with the rear camera of the Lenovo VIBE S1 smartphone. No matter where the selfie is taken, the person in it can be cut out and placed in front of the Eifel Tower or the Taj Mahal for instance.
Night or lowlight selfies are also possible with the VIBE S1’s front camera BSI sensor that improves the clarity and quality of after-dark selfies.
