An 8MP auto-flash camera, complemented by Lenovo super camera software, takes photos in low light and allows photo in video and complex photo-editing. All of these functions are packed into a super-slim (9.3mm) and lightweight (176g) package, sporting a uniquely elegant “loop” design that makes the product feel thinner and sexier.
