Lenovo new Vibe K5 and K5 Plus


Lenovo has two new budget-friendly mid-rangers to add to its portfolio, which almost managed to slip by unnoticed amidst all the commotion.

The Vibe K5 and Vibe K5 Plus share most of their hardware platform, as evident by the name. Both have a 5-inch display - 720p in the basic one and 1080p in the Plus model. The other major difference has to do with the processors - a Snapdragon 415 inside the Vibe K5 and a Snapdragon 616 for the Plus variant. The rest of their shared specs sheet includes 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM, 16 GB of storage, plus a microSD card slot and a 2,750 mAh user-replaceable battery.

The camera setup consists of a 13 MP main shooter and a 5 MP one on the front. Also, both devices are LTE-enabled, Dual SIM and boot Android 5.1 Lollipop. Last, but not least, the K5 family looks to be audio-centric with Dolby Atmos support and two speakers on board.


Pricing is said to be US$ 129 and US$ 149 respectively and availability is still unknown, although it is already clear they won't be hitting the US market.
