LAS VEGAS -- Ask any selfie expert and they'll tell you the most challenging selfie to take is in the dark.

Not to worry! Lenovo has you covered for all those late nights and bar crawls. The company's new Vibe S1 has a built-in "selfie flash" on the front to accompany the 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Front flashes are rare on smartphones, but they're becoming more popular (i.e. Moto X Pure Edition).

Lenovo says the front-facing camera is made from a "five-piece lens for zero distortion" and a Sony image sensor (the best there is). The Vibe S1 also features a "panoramic selfies" feature, which lets you take groufies that can fit all of your friends. On the back is a 13-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash.

At $199, the Vibe S1 sits on the budget-end of the smartphone spectrum. Spec-wise, the Vibe S1 is rocking a 5-inch 1080p IPS display, 1.3GHz 64-bit MediaTek octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable up to 32GB via microSD card) and has a 2,700mAh non-removable battery.

The Vibe S1 runs Android 5.1 Lollipop and has dual-SIM card slots and 4G LTE connectivity.

Interested selfie junkies can pick one up later this month in either Pearl White or Midnight Blue.
