Everything Specs
Lenovo K5 Note is a bit of everything, but still, nothing that will make you rush and buy it after you read our review and specs. Lenovo K5 Note comes with Android 5.1 (Lollipop) operating system, which, unfortunately, isn’t upgradable. Under the hood, Lenovo K5 Note boasts Octa-core (4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4×1.0 GHz Cortex-A53) CPU and Mali-T860MP2 GPU. This hardware is mediocre, and the smartphone works ok with that. However, 3/ GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage isn’t that bad for the price.
Design-wise, Lenovo K5 Note looks good, but it’s a little wide smartphone, with 5,5″ screen size. It sports a 1080p resolution with 401 ppi pixel density and is good at color reproduction and sharpness, although not good as Samsung devices. Aside from that, there is a Li-Po 3500 mAh battery that should last few days with moderate use. A 13 MP camera isn’t worth mentioning, because it works just fine, but doesn’t provide any special experience.

Lenovo K5 Note serves me well and has some serious power under its hood. I have a 4 GB RAM version with a great 1080x1920p display and use it mostly to play games and surf the internet. This works well for me and i'll probably keep it for around year or so.
