If you’re looking for a high-spec budget phone, you’d be hard pressed to do better than the Lenovo P2. 

It features everything you’d expect to see in a mid-range phone but we’re continually surprised by how cheap it is.

Most phones with a similar price to the Lenovo P2 don’t have a full metal unibody, and especially not one that feels as premium as this phone.

Other people who see you using the P2 won’t be able to tell it’s a budget device, but it's got more than just good looks, as it feels quality too, and there are rounded corners that mean it doesn’t feel sharp on the palm of your hand. The design is very reminiscent of the Huawei Mate 9, but it's a little bit smaller.

It’s still large though – those with smaller hands may struggle to reach some parts of the phone. If you’re used to a larger phone you’ll find this easy to grip, but those who generally use smaller devices may struggle.

Considering the size of the battery in the Lenovo P2, the company has managed to keep the device surprisingly slim.
