Lenovo P2

Phenomenal battery life ; Attractive metal build ; Gorgeous display for the money

Heavy and quite large ; Limited camera ; Annoying battery saver switch

The Lenovo P2 offers incredible battery life and still manages to tick off all the other aspects you'd want from a fantastic budget phone. If you're looking for a phone that lasts over two days, the Lenovo P2 is for you.

It just keeps going and going – battery life is immense ; Great quality FHD screen ; Plenty of power at this price

Camera quality is only average ; Not running the latest Android version

Incredible battery life and otherwise excellent specs for your cash make the P2 one of the best budget phones around

The Lenovo P2 is really being sold on the strength of its battery, and the great news is that it lives up to the company’s hype, offering you days of usage and a power bank in a pinch. Throw in the premium design and build quality, and you have a phone...

Record-shattering battery life; Decent performance; Great value

Disappointing camera; Uninspiring design

+ Amazing battery ; + Stylish build ; + Packed full of power and features

- Middling camera ; - 5.5 inches but only 1080p ; - Unoriginal appearance

The Lenovo P2 goes well above and beyond what you’d expect from a £200 phone. In almost every way it’s at least as good as similarly priced rivals, and in many it’s far better.

Best battery life EVER, Nice metal build and design, Fast processor performance, Excellent display

Mediocre camera

A really great phone with a lot of clout in a few key areas. It has the best battery performance you'll find anywhere, while being fast, well-made, and packing an excellent OLED display.

superb speaker ; low temperatures ; solid metal casing ; very long battery life ; low power consumption ; many options of use ; good software ; decent performance ; viewing angle and color accurate screen ; dual-SIM, USB-OTG and NFC ; decent camera...

slightly inaccurate gaps ; software sometimes translated poorly ; distorted microphone ; poor low-light photos ; comparatively dark screen

We already mentioned that the battery life of Lenovo's P2 is fantastic in the introduction. However, we were really surprised that Lenovo has created such an overall complete handset. An elegant and solid casing, decent performance rates, relatively...
