Android version and market relevance

The long-awaited announcement of a new smartphone from the manufacturer Lenovo, which took place in June 2018 (in our catalog you can see all smarphones of 2018). This is a new model Lenovo K5 Note (2018) — dual smartphone works on Android 8 Oreo, which does not receive software updates and will forever remain on the old version of Android. If this does not suit you, then be sure to check the selected ones DROID-smartphones in our catalog. These are models that work on the latest version of the Android OS or are updated on it.

And let’s look at an important function — the availability of 5G networks support in a smartphone. Lenovo K5 Note (2018) has not received support for 5G networks, but this does not mean that this model is bad and does not deserve your attention. Look at all the features of this smartphone and its price. It is possible that you will like it very much and will be suitable for purchase today. And after one or two years, when you choose the next new smartphone, then on the page of all 5G smartphones in our catalog you will see hundreds of smartphones from many manufacturers at different prices.

Screen, body and battery

By the size of the Lenovo K5 Note (2018) screen, we were assigned to a segment phablets (smartphones with a huge screen), considering that the bezels around the screen are very large (we advise you to look at models with thin frames or frameless smartphones). See for yourself, here is IPS LCD-screen with diagonal 6″.

Dimensions of the screen dictate to us and the size of the case. At Lenovo K5 Note (2018) the case turned out very thick — 8.5 mm. Today you can easily choose and buy a new smartphone with a very thin case. The battery in this model has a capacity 3 760 mAh. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

Let′s briefly describe the cameras in Lenovo K5 Note (2018). The main camera got several modules (dual camera smartphones): 16 MP with a regular lens + 2 MP Depth sensor. Why, for example, has multiple lenses in a smartphone camera become the absolute norm on the market today? Because with these smartphones you can take beautiful portraits with blurred backgrounds (this is called the Bokeh effect). And manufacturers have also learned to make software enhancements to photography based on the analysis of frames from each lens. It seems that this is exactly the case when it is better to see once than read about it a hundred times. Therefore, we advise you to take a few shots yourself with the camera of this smartphone.

The front camera has one module: 8 MP with a regular lens. Do not say that this is very much, is in our catalog selfie smartphones, whose frontcamera will be an order of magnitude better. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.

Processor and Internal Memory

After a lot of leaks, we now know all characteristics of the Lenovo K5 Note (2018). The smartphone received 8-core processor on the chipset Snapdragon 450. RAM is built-in 3 GB and there is a version of 4 GB.

But the most interesting is the built-in memory of 32 GB and plus another option for 64 GB. Looking for memory cards? There is a special slot for card format microSD up to 256 GB.

Price for Lenovo K5 Note (2018): buy or not to buy?

The choice to make is not difficult — to buy or not to buy — we will help you to solve it right now. New smartphone Lenovo K5 Note (2018) we took and carried out segmentation for the quality of the camera, screen size, battery capacity and processor performance. So, if you want to buy a smartphone with a huge screen, then this model perfectly suits you. If you want to receive good quality photos, you can safely take this smartphone and do not overpay for top models.
