Lenovo K3 Note VS K4 Note VS K5 Note: Designs and specifications are all improved…

Design-wise, three of them look not the same at all. Lenovo K3 Note comes with a plastic back while both K4 and K5 are built with all-metal unibodies. However, you can easily notice that Lenovo Vibe K4 Note design is affected much by Motorola style, but Lenovo K5 Note appears very similar to many Chinese smartphones nowadays such as products of LeTV, Xiaomi, ZTE, etc. Though, we have to say that Lenovo machines in 2016 have been more beautiful than before. Do you agree?

That is what we want to talk about the phones’ appearances. Now, we are moving on to their specifications. In general, Lenovo K3 Note, K4 Note and K5 Note are mid-range phablets with strong hardware compared to their price tags. Then, let’s take a look at the following table to see if they have many similarities and differences:

So, Lenovo K5 Note is the firm’s latest device and obviously, it has some more advanced and powerful features such as Helio P10 octa-core 1.8GHz chip, 3,500mAh battery, and 8MP secondary snapper. However, in terms of RAM capacity, K4 Note is the best with 3GB RAM, which also makes us wonder why they did not retain the same 3GB RAM for the K5 Note. Perhaps 2GB is enough for smooth performances and users can enjoy taking gorgeous selfies while the handset can last long.
