Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus
Lenovo has launched the Vibe K5 Plus in
India. It is a budget smartphone, along the lines of the company's previous
A6000 and A7000 smartphones, and competes alongside rival devices such as the
Coolpad Note 3 and the Xiaomi Redmi Note Prime.
The Vibe K5 Plus has a 5-inch, FullHD
1080p scratch-resistant display. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 (4x
1.7 GHz Cortex-A53 + 4x 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 + Adreno 405) along with 2 GB of RAM
and 16 GB storage with microSD support up to 128 GB.
The phone has dual SIM support along
with Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.1, A-GPS, and FM Radio. On the imaging front,
there is a 13 megapixel OmniVision OV13850 sensor with f2.2 aperture 5 element
lens on the back and a 5 megapixel sensor with f2.8 aperture on the front.
The battery is 2,750 mAh and is user
removable. The phone runs on Android 5.1 and has support for Lenovo's
TheaterMax, which splits the screen content into two to give a more immersive
experience when viewing through the optional ANT VR headset. The K5 Plus also
supports Dolby Atmos and has dual stereo speakers on the back, but don't expect
much in terms of stereo separation due to their positioning.
The phone comes in gold, silver, and
gray with an aluminum casing on the back. The Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus is priced at
INR 8499 (US$ 126) and available exclusively through Flipkart starting
March 23, 2016 at 12 noon. There will be an exchange offer for existing A6000
and A6000 Plus users during the first sale.
