Lenovo launched the K4 Note in India earlier this month, which is available on Flipkart for Rs 11,999. Barely four weeks later, Lenovo has launched the K5 Note in China, priced at 1,099 Yuan (Rs 11,300 approximately). On the face of it, the K5 Note looks but an incremental upgrade over its predecessor, and it is a tad surprising that Lenovo launched the new phablet at such a short gap. We nonetheless pit the two phablets in a comparison to see how they differ.

One of the major differentiating factors is in the build quality. Where the K4 Note boasts a removable plastic back panel, the K5 Note features an all-metal body. With this tweak in design, the K5 Note features dimensions of 152×75.7×8.49mm, making it shorter, and slimmer than its predecessor (153.6×76.5×9.2mm).

Specifications: Both phablets flaunt 5.5-inch screens at full HD (1920×1080 pixels) resolution. Under the hood though, the K5 Note features a 1.8GHz MediaTek Helio P10 octa-core 64-bit processor paired with 2GB of RAM, while the K4 Note features MediaTek MT6753 octa-core 64-bit processor paired with 3GB of RAM.

On the storage front, it is all square with both phablets featuring 16GB internal storage that can be further expanded using a microSD card. As for the photographic chops, both feature 13-megapixel snappers at the back with dual-LED flash and PDAF support. Up front however, the K5 Note features an 8-megapixel snapper, as opposed to the 5-megapixel selfie snapper on the K4 Note.

The K5 Note also features a slightly bigger 3,500mAh battery with fast charging support. The K4 Note, on the other hand, features a 3,300mAh battery with fast charging capabilities.

On the software front, both Lenovo phablets run on Android Lollipop wrapped under the Vibe UI.

Features: Both feature the usual bevy of connectivity options like dual-SIM card slots, 4G LTE support, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The K4 Note has an added advantage of NFC support, while the K5 Note is future proof with support for VoLTE. Both also feature a fingerprint scanner placed at the back, and 1.5W speakers with Dolby ATMOS support.

On paper there is not a lot that differentiates Lenovo’s two new phablets. The K5 Note has the advantage of an all-metal body, 8-megapixel selfie camera, bigger battery, and VoLTE support. It will be interesting to see if Lenovo plans on bringing the K5 Note to India. If it does, the question is when and what would then be the fate of the recently launched K4 Note.

Lenovo K5 Note with 8 MP Front Camera Helio P10 Unveiled

While the K4 note have was released on 5th Jan 2016 and started sale on 19th Jan 2016 . Lenovo is in a hurry to release its successor to the K5 note, but the smartphone is not intended for the Indian market and may not get released here any soon.

The K5 note is not a complete revamp over the K4 note, but it still rectifies the few shortcomings of the predecessor like, a metal body in place of plastic, a better processor, improved front camera and a slightly bigger battery.

The Lenovo K5 Note is not a copy of the K4 Note as far as the design is concerned the smartphone has a very distinctive look compared to both the K4 Note and the K3 Note. There are no front firing Dual speakers like the K4 Note in the Lenovo K5 Note.

Thesmartphone comes with the same gorgeous looking Full HD screen measuring 5.5 inches.

It was rather surprising for me when Lenovo launched the K4 Note with the Mediatek 6753, and that too clocked at just 1.3 Ghz while K3 Note had the same processor clocked higher.

The K4 Note according to me should have got the Helio X10 , a much better option.


The Lenovo K5 Note is powered by the new MediaTek Helio P10 processor which is new series of processor by Mediatek.

It is the first processor from the P series (P stands for premium performance) the processor is built on 64 bit architecture, and clocked at 1.8 GHz.

MediaTek claims better performance in camera, display, audio and power consumption, With the Helio P10.

It also includes the company’s Mira-vision technology which serves the function of reducing blue light and a display frame rate of 60 fps.

The odd thing about the K5 note is that the RAM is downgraded to 2GB. (K4 note has 3 GB RAM).

The storage space is same 16 GB with a micro SD slot support upto 128 GB.

The rear camera is a 13 Megapixel shooter and the front camera is 8 Megapixel while the K4 Note has a 5 MP camera.

The finger print sensor is placed under the rear camera.

The smartphone is said to run on Android lollipop is reported to get the Android Marshmallow update.

The device packs a 3500 mAh battery, which is enough to complete a day. Added to this the Helio P10 claims 30 percent less power consumption resulting in better back up.

The smartphone is priced around 12000 INR, and the sales first begins in China. The company didn’t announced about the global availability of the smartphone yet.
