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.


And guess what…I was again the lucky one who won the Vibe X3 and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Enjoying multimedia on a smartphone has never been this exciting. Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today unveils TheaterMax, the promise of an immersive experience powered by Lenovo Virtual Reality (VR) technology. It is touted to convert any multimedia content to become VR-enabled, giving users a cinematic experience when viewed through a VR headset. Lenovo proudly introduces the world’s first smartphones with TheaterMax, the Lenovo VIBE X3 and VIBE K4 Note.

“With over fifty percent of digital content being consumed on mobile devices at this age and time, smartphones continue to be users’ primary personal entertainment device. Lenovo expects that the numbers will continue to expand in the future; therefore, the demand for newer, more sophisticated functionalities will likewise increase. The Lenovo TheaterMax, powered by Lenovo Virtual Reality, sets us apart with our commitment to design cutting-edge smartphones that meets the needs of consumers at a friendly price point,” said Dino Romano, Country Manager, Lenovo Smartphones Philippines.

The launch of the new Lenovo smartphones is another testament of Lenovo’s commitment to growing the smartphone business in the Philippine market. According to IDC, smartphone penetration in the Philippines is seen to rise to about 70 percent by 2018.

Romano added, “Our smartphone business is a key growth engine to achieve PC Plus leadership. And with our protect and attack strategy, Lenovo is well-positioned to drive sustainable growth for the smartphone business in the Philippines.”

TheaterMax allows users to do so much more than just viewing on a smartphone screen, through three key experiential pillars – exploring, watching and interacting.

Exploring: Whether coming home after a busy day or spending quality time with friends, there is always a new and refreshing experience waiting to be discovered. Experience videos and games come to life when users don a pair of VR glasses and soak in the vibrant visuals and rich surround sound.

Watching: Users can also choose to catch their favorite movies once more without the crowd with TheaterMax’s widescreen cinematics of vivid colors and immersive sound quality in the palm of the hand. Take time out from that hectic schedule and spend much needed quality time with the Lenovo VIBE X3 or VIBE K4 Note.

Interacting: Coupled with endless choices of games and applications, turn the Lenovo VIBE X3 or VIBE K4 Note into a gaming console with TheaterMax boasting smooth graphics, lifelike surround sound, and responsive 3D gameplay. Smartphones are already a hit with the young (and young at hearts) for their intuitiveness and user-friendliness, now users can look forward to even more exciting features.

Lenovo Vibe Shot captures the VIBE On at Art In Island

What better way to capture Art in Island, the Interactive Museum in Cubao  using the  Lenovo Vibe Shot, all of us (from the media) posed with the 3D paintings displayed inside the museum,  from floor to ceiling.  It was indeed fun as all of us became competitive upon learning that a contest for the Best VIBE On shot using the Lenovibe Vibe Shot would win us the smart phone.

 Lenovo announced the launch of VIBE ON last July 29 at Art In Island, Cubao with Lenovo Vibe On ambassadors Monika Sta. Maria and Alyssa Valdez.   A new and vibrant campaign identity aimed at strengthening awareness of its smartphones globally. VIBE ON is an extension of Lenovo’s overarching master brand position, predicated on the belief that life rewards those that never stand still.

Targeted predominantly at millennials, the VIBE ON brand promise aims to empower individuals to go their own way, by providing smartphones with the latest technology and features that they care about, at a price they wouldn’t expect.

“Consumers nowadays are increasingly savvy and price conscious. Most of them are discerning enough to trade “good-to-have” features for products that offer outstanding value,” said Dino Romano, Country Lead, Lenovo Smartphones, Philippines. “The VIBE ON promise emphasizes our belief in making cutting-edge technologies with innovative designs but a price that is not expensive and exclusive.”

The design philosophy behind Lenovo's VIBE series of smartphones is embodied across three main product pillars – a seamless camera experience, enhanced multimedia capabilities, and an adaptive VIBE user interface. A great example is the latest Lenovo VIBE Shot, which offers the best of both worlds by combining a premium 4G smartphone with a high-performance camera that incorporates advanced “prosumer” hardware and features that budding and seasoned photographers will love.

Today, Lenovo also introduced the official VIBE ON campaign ambassadors for Philippines, Monika Sta. Maria and Alyssa Valdez. Monika was recently part of the top 3 in Asia’s Next Top Model while Alyssa is a multi-awarded athlete from Ateneo De Manila University and considered as best collegiate volleyball player in the Philippines today. Both ambassadors are successful in their chosen fields and an inspiration to millennials today.


The bold and lively VIBE ON branding will be integrated end-to-end for the smartphone business to provide a seamless consumer experience – from advertising to packaging and accessories to the VIBE UI.

Watch the VIBE ON brand anthem video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqjAjkXmQLE.

We all have it in us. A thing that’s just ours.
A style. An idea. A spirit.
A voice that says you’re here to do something great.
Something that hasn’t been done — by you. Maybe by anyone.
It calls you to go your own way.
Stand out from something. Stand up for something.
Be adventurous and free.
Go on.
Charge on.
Rock on.
Play on.
Power on.
Keep on.
Because great things are waiting.
And we want to help make them yours.

Lenovo VIBE.
VIBE ON.
