Comparisons Featuring Lenovo K9
Short Review
- The Lenovo K9 features a glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame, providing a lightweight design at 155g with dimensions of 153.8 x 72.9 x 8 mm.
- Its 5.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels with a pixel density of approximately 282 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, an octa-core CPU, and 3GB of RAM, delivering adequate multitasking capabilities.
- The camera setup includes a dual rear configuration with a 13 MP main sensor and a 5 MP depth sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p.
- However, the front camera is limited to 0 MP, making selfies unfeasible.
- The 3000 mAh battery supports 10W charging but does not offer wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 8.1 (Oreo), the software experience is basic, lacking stereo speakers but including a headphone jack.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and USB Type-C 2.0, although it does not support 5G or NFC.
- Overall, the Lenovo K9 is a straightforward device with essential features suitable for everyday use.
- Special features are minimal, with no water resistance or advanced display technologies.
