The "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" has a back camera with 13.0MP. The front camera has 5.0MP. Its rear camera has slightly better performance compared to normal smart phones.

Review of the product design of the Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB
Rating of the ease of carrying it around and getting it in and out of bags or pockets
When deciding whether to buy an Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB, the first important factor is its size. Smartphones are used daily, and so it is important how easily they can be carried around and pulled out of bags or pockets. This review assesses how easy it is to carry the Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB around and put it away.
Ease of grasping it in your hand to carry around
The "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" is hard to hold with one hand, so it would be to stop carrying it in your wallet. Also, when holding the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB", it is difficult to have a firm grip of it, so be careful not to drop it. If possible, when carrying it around, it would be better to do so with the device in your bag.
Ease of carrying it around when placing it in your pocket
It doesn't feel strange even when you put the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" in a pocket. In addition, when sitting on a chair with the phone in a pocket, it can be kept comfortably as it doesn't get caught on one's clothes or body.
Ease of getting it in and out of your pocket
With the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB", it is quite difficult to put it into your pocket and then take it out again. If you try to put it in your pocket, the cloth in your pocket may rip, or the phone may be damaged because of pressure.
Ease of getting it in and out of your bag
The "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" is a size that allows you to take it in and out of your bag and use it with ease. Also, since it is compact, even if your bag is small it won't get too bulky which is convenient.
Assessment of user-friendliness and ease of handling
It is important to consider the ease of using the phone in one hand. It can be said that it would be very useful if it is easier for you to send emails and instant messages or answer calls using one hand while cooking or using your computer. Here, we have reviewed the Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB by focusing on the ease of using it in one hand and the ease of typing in letters.
Ease of grasping the phone in one hand
The "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" is so large that you can hardly move your fingers on the device while holding it with one hand. You can't extend your fingers to reach the end of the phone unless your have a big hand, so you pretty much have to hold it with one hand while going about your business with the phone using the other hand.
The weight you feel when using the phone with one hand
The "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" feels too heavy to operate with one hand, so the device wouldn't be a good choice even if you are just going to use it for a short period of time. We suggest that you hold it tightly with both hands as it may hurt your hands if you use it with just one hand for an extended period of time.
Ease of pushing the upper button on the screen using one hand
When using the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" with just one hand, it is quite difficult to press the button on the screen edge. We suggest you operate the device with both your hands rather than pushing your luck with just one hand.
The size of the buttons on the App
The buttons on the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" are displayed quite large. Because of this, it is difficult to press something by mistake and it feels very easy to use. Even with games that use small buttons, it's difficult to press something by mistake making it very easy to play.
Ease of typing in letters using the flick function
It is difficult to type with one hand using the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" . If you try too hard to type, the hand you hold the phone with may slip and you may end up dropping the device. As such, we suggest you type with both your hands on the phone.
Ease of typing in letters using the keybord funtion
I think it is easy to use the buttons on the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" as they are displayed in large sizes. However, it is difficult not to make typos when typing at high speeds. I don't think you will feel it difficult to type if you are careful when typing.
Assessment of whether it is suitable for standard use
Assessment of whether it is suitable for standard use
For people who use their smartphone on a daily basis, high performance is a rather important factor. When the performance is not good enough, then, for example, applications don't work as they should or the screen is difficult to see, and this causes stress. This review looks at whether the performance of the Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB is suitable for making phone calls, messaging, or using SNS.
The size of the letters and the ease of operation
Because the display of the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" is much larger than ordinary phones, characters are displayed quite large. Therefore, it is suitable for reading long bodies of text and exchanging long messages while doing research.
Ease of reading sentences
Since the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" displays characters smoothly, it can display them beautifully. Even when viewing small characters, the jaggedness of the character outline is not at a level seen during normal viewing and is displayed very naturally. Because of this, it is difficult for your eyes to become tired and make the phone suitable for reading long bodies of text.
The beauty of the overal screen
The "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" can display photos and videos beautifully. While people with good eyes can see jagged outlines when they look at the display up close, it is not really something of concern.
Ease of writing sentences
The "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" has enough screen space even when typing and the screen is hidden by the on screen keyboard. Because the sentences being typed can be seen clearly, the phone's screen size makes it suitable for typing and editing large bodies of text such as office documents.
Does it have sufficient performance to make calls and send emails?
Whether it be a phone call, mail, or during a chat, the "Lenovo Phab Plus 32GB" provides smooth performance. Even when using the phone in demanding situations, you can use the phone comfortably since there will usually be no lag.
Does it have sufficient performance to search for things and using Social Networks?
It is more than adequate for applications such as using social media—like Facebook and Instagram—and searching the Internet. Sometimes, though, it may feel a bit slow.
Does it have sufficient performance to do other tasks while searching for things and using Social Networks?
There isn't any sense of inadequate performance even when several apps are used at the same time and there is frequent switching between apps. In rare cases, it may feel slow and the display may lag, but I don't think one will feel stressed during practical use.
