Hands-on Lenovo P2 review: the battery beast

What really draws attention in Lenovo P2 is the 5,100 mAh battery. When it comes to battery life, the manufacturer has some interesting names, especially after acquiring Motorola. The Moto Maxx was elected the smartphone with the best battery life in the market earlier this year, and Moto X Play users do not have to complain in this regard.

However, none of these models has the elegance of the Lenovo P2, or the mode of advanced energy saving in this unit. Lenovo brings a key on the left side that lets you enable the advanced mode of battery saving, called Ultimate Power Saver. In my brief testing, this feature just reminded me how low power consumption is of Samsung and HTC, since a limited number of device functions allow more time for smartphone use.

That is in addition to a battery capacity that’s above average. The Lenovo P2 also has an advanced way of energy saving energy compared to other models of Lenovo and Motorola, and even comes with fast charging technology.

According to Lenovo, the P2 has a three-day battery life, and with only 15 minutes of charging, you get 10 hours of use.

Unlike what was reported at the time of its launch, the new smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer does not have USB Type-C, but USB On-the-Go, in other words, it is a supplement to USB 2.0.
