Archive.org versionAnd that is all that some users really need from their smartphone. The camera is a bit of a let down, but can take some nice shots in ideal lighting conditions, and that is the only negative in what has been a very positive experience overall. At this price point, the Lenovo Vibe K5 Note is definitely a phone that I would recommend.

Archive.org versionKeeping in mind the price point, the Lenovo Vibe K5 Note feels premium, and it’s at par with the competition. The all-metal exterior feels great, fingerprint sensor works great, the rear speaker is quite impressive, and performance is top notch. The camera is “ok” for regular users, but they do have better choices for sure, and the same goes for its display.

Archive.org versionOverall, the Lenovo Vibe K5 Note a good successor to the K4 Note at a starting price of Rs. 11,999. It is available exclusively from Flipkart. Lenovo also offers a 4GB RAM variant for the first time in the ‘K series’ at Rs. 13,499, which is good for the price. It runs on Android Marshmallow out of the box, has a good display, solid build quality and also offers good audio output, but the hybrid dual SIM slot might not be preferred by everyone. Even though the phone has decent camera, low-light shots are below average.

Archive.org versionThe Lenovo VIBE K5 Note is a device that we would recommend to those on a budget but still require a sleek, handsome build. It’s also ready for media consumption as it has commendable display and picture quality that show good colors and details. We weren’t so happy with the sound performance but using dedicated headphones should easily do the trick.

Archive.org versionThe positive aspects of this smartphone are quite a lot and they surely include the metal design and big Full HD display, which has different useful modes for working at night, outside or with gloves on. As expected, the available Helio P10 ensures high performance, and the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update is a pleasant surprise and combines quite well with the feature-rich Lenovo UI. The battery can’t be considered as a plus but it did well in our tests, and you can also use the Ultimate Power Saver mode, which can increase battery life if need be.

Archive.org versionLenovo’s K5 Note is a marked improvement from the previous iteration offered a few months ago. It has a nicer, more premium-looking body, better processor, higher storage and faster performance compared to the K4 Note. The included VR headset and new Bluetooth controller make it easier than ever for people to begin their VR journey, though at Php 11,990, the K5 Note may be priced a bit too high for first time VR users. We suggest that you try one out before dropping cash on one.

Archive.org versionLenovo Vibe K5 Note is definitely a great improvement over K4 Note in terms of build, design, camera and battery life. But still, the Vibe K5 Note isn’t as powerful as the Redmi Note 3 in terms of processor. Vibe K5 Note is definitely one of the good all round devices where you have little to complain although you do not get the best performance in sub 15k.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
