    This time last year, Lenovo unveiled the Vibe Xtension Selfie Flash attachment and then managed to avoid launching a smartphone with front LED flash for the rest of 2015. (Well, if you exclude the Motorola bunch, that is.) At long last, this year the company's back with an affordable model that not only has an integrated front light, but also uses good components to produce quality selfies. Meet the Vibe S1 Lite, which is a $199 device that manages to offer a Sony-powered 8-megapixel front-facing camera with a five-piece lens for "zero distortion," as well as a front LED flash. The main camera isn't bad, either, as it comes with Samsung's 13-megapixel ISOCELL sensor with phase-detection auto focus plus a dual-tone flash.
