Lenovo might own Motorola now, but the company is still doing its own thing when it comes to mobile devices. There are a pair of new Android phones today, as well as a wearable and a completely self-indulgent accessory—a selfie flash. Your life is complete now, right?
The first of the two phones is the P90 (seen above). Here's the full spec sheet.

The second phone is the Vibe X2 Pro. It's selling point is that it has front and rear 13MP cameras with auto focus. All the better for selfies (this dovetails nicely with the selfie flash). Here are the specs and pics.

The selfie flash plugs into the audio jack so you can take perfectly lighted snapshots. Frankly, this product makes me sad, but to each his or her own.

The announcement was made at CES, but it's unclear if we'll see any of these devices outside of Asia. The Android UI and feature set are still very in-tune with what Chinese consumers expect. The P90 will be available in February, and the X2 Pro will follow in April with the selfie flash. The VIBE Band will be out in April too. Pricing is not available yet.
