For other features, there are some significant differences we need to note. Well, it is not difficult to realize that Lenovo Vibe K5 is the lowest-end here; the runner-up will be the Vibe K5 Plus (but actually they are not very different from each other, except for the display); and the strongest machine is Lenovo K5 Note with a big battery, a fantastic selfie shooter, a large beautiful screen, a powerful chip, more capacity expanded via microSD card, and a fingerprint scanner.

Though, you can see that K5 Note is not as thin and light as K5 and K5 Plus, and its batt cannot be removed. Besides, if we talk about the best display here, it can’t be the Note since the Plus has a totally higher ppi. The champion also has their own drawbacks, right?!
