Background and Identification

The Lenovo P2 is an Android smartphone released by Lenovo in November 2016. The Lenovo P2 is also known as Lenovo P2 P2a42, Lenovo Vibe P2, and is identified by the model name P2a42.

The Lenovo P2 features a 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels and a screen-to-body ratio of 71.7 percent. It includes a scratch-resistant glass front, an aluminum back, and an aluminum frame. The Lenovo P2 includes either a single SIM card or hybrid dual SIM capabilities, meaning it can hold two Nano-SIM cards and operate with one while the other is on standby. The phone was released with three different internal memory options; the P2 includes either 32 GB of internal storage and 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage and 4 GB of RAM, or 64 GB of internal storage and 4 GB of RAM.

The Lenovo P2 features a 13-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It includes a 5100 mAh non-removable battery, meaning that the battery’s adhesive is permanent, making repair and replacement difficult, but not necessarily impossible.

The Lenovo P2 includes the name “Lenovo” in the bottom center of the phone’s backing. It has an ovular home button with straight sides on the bottom front bezel. The phone also includes Android’s three-button navigation system, which includes a “back” button (indicated with an arrow on the left side of the bottom bezel), a “home” button in the center of the phone’s bottom bezel, and a “show-all-open-applications” button (indicated by a rectangle on the right side of the phone’s bottom bezel).
