Experience Virtual Reality with Lenovo Vibe K4 Note and Vibe X3

It was also about the same time last year that I saw the first Lenovo phone that really got my attention. The company was launching the Lenovo A7000, the world's first phone to feature Dolby Atmos, and to showcase the theater experience we were treated to a 4D screening of the Avengers Movie. That night I was the lucky one to win the phone.

Now that Captain America: Civil War  is just a few days away, Lenovo once again launched its new generation of smartphones that was made for those who love watching movies. But this time, they take the experience several notches higher with the introduction of TheaterMax.

Lenovo unveiled the Vibe Note 4 and Vibe X3 at a media event held at the SM North Edsa Cyberzone Event Area last week. The two new phones promise unparalleled entertainment as you can now watch and play your favorite movies and games via a Virtual Reality headset.
