Selfie fans: Lenovo is launching a ‘dual selfie camera’ smartphone

Today Lenovo revealed its Vibe S1 smartphone featuring two front-facing cameras.

That’s right, the Vibe S1 is all about taking selfies. Equipped with an 8-megapixel main camera for capturing detail and a 2-megapixel camera for depth, this phone also features editing tools for creating the ultimate selfie. In contrast, the iPhone 6 Plus features a 1.2 megapixel front facing camera; even the Samsung S6 Edge taps out at 5 megapixels for its front-facing camera.

Meanwhile, the Vibe S1 has a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera that also comes with autofocus and dual-color flash.

The phone also features 160GB worth of storage — meaning you can load up on selfies and other photos. If that’s not enough, the Vibe S1 also has an external microSD drive for additional storage.

The phone with its 5-inch display will cost around $299, depending on the carrier, and will be available next month. However, don’t expect to find it in the U.S.: The phone will only be sold in Lenovo countries in Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
