Short Review
- The Lenovo K5 Note features a solid build with dimensions of 152 x 75.7 x 8.5 mm and a weight of 165g, utilizing a glass front and an aluminum/plastic back.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 401 ppi, although it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6755 Helio P10 chipset, with an octa-core CPU and options for 3GB or 4GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking.
- The rear camera is a 13 MP unit with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while an 8 MP front camera is available for selfies.
- A 3500mAh battery powers the device, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- The software runs on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), which may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The K5 Note is available in Silver, Gold, and Gray colors.
- Notably, it includes a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the Lenovo K5 Note combines decent specifications in a sturdy design, making it a practical choice for everyday use.
