Reviews for the Lenovo K6

82.5% Lenovo K6 Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Price cutter. Lenovo's K6 5-inch middle-class smartphone sells for less than 200 Euro (~$215), but its robust hardware features put it in a category normally reserved for much pricier competitors.
Lenovo K6 and K6 Note Review
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
So there you have it, the full picture of the new Lenovo K6 and K6 Note: affordable phones with great battery life, a fast fingerprint scanner and impressively loud dual speakers that do well in daily tasks. What they are not is pretty or well designed, and what they are most certainly NOT is good camera replacements.

Lenovo K6 quick review – the K lineup is trendy once again
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Lenovo K6 offers noticeable changes over its predecessor, although they are only a few months apart. Improvements are seen in the design section which is again represented by a metal construction but this time with rounded corners and edges, making it look a tad more elegant. Another pleasant addition is the fingerprint scanner, which has turned into a must have for a mid-range device. Additionally, there’s been a bump in the display resolution – from HD to Full HD, which is not that big of a difference for our eye but again you are provided with higher image detail.

76% Lenovo K6 Review
Source: Phone World English Archive.org version
Lenovo K6 is specifically for camera lovers because it has 13MP back camera and 8MP front camera whereas the battery section has 3000 mAh battery moreover the device is equipped with fingerprint authenticator. One thing which Lenovo K6 lacks is bigger RAM instead of 2GB RAM, except this all features are decent and they have worked perfectly. Lenovo K6 can easily fulfill daily requirements in affordable price.

80% Lenovo K6 Power review: 'Powering' the budget segment
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
At an affordable price of Rs 9,999, the Lenovo K6 Power offers some really good specifications such as a large 4,000mAh battery, 3GB RAM, 13MP rear camera and a Full HD display. In the sub 10K price segment, it's definitely one of the best smartphones you can get.

Lenovo K6 Power Review
Source: Fone Arena English Archive.org version
The Lenovo K6 Power is a solid offering from Lenovo and it manages to strike a very good balance between performance and value for money. Our biggest gripe was the camera performance which proved to be quite underwhelming.
