While the exact launch date is not known, Engadgetreports that Lenovo China will be taking pre-orders for the Vibe Z soon.

The Lenovo Vibe Z is powered by a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, the same processor found on flagship devices such as Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Sony Xperia Z1. The Vibe Z comes with 2GB of RAM, Adreno 330 GPU and runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. It features a 5.5-inch full-HD display and is a dual-SIM device. The phablet sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and dual-LED flash. It also includes a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.

The Lenovo Vibe Z can deliver up to 278 hours of standby time; however the battery has not been detailed by the company. Further, Lenovo has also launched a flip cover for Vibe Z phablet, similar to the S View Cover for Galaxy Note 3, notes Engadget.
