Lenovo K6, K6 Power, and K6 Note
Lenovo has thrown in a few affordable mid-rangers. The K6
family consists of three models, the plain
Lenovo K6, K6 Power, and K6 Note, and they share a lot of the same specs.
It all starts with the Snapdragon 430
chipset that powers all three, and that means an octa-core CPU with 4
Cortex-A53 cores clocked up to 1.5 GHz, and another 4 capped at 1.2 GHz. The
Lenovo K6 proper has 2 GB of RAM and either 16 GB or 32 GB of storage, the Power
comes in 2 GB/16 GB and 3 GB/32 GB flavors, while on the K6 Note internal storage
is set at 32 GB, but RAM is either 3 GB or 4 GB. All models take microSD cards for
storage expansion.
The K6 and K6 Power both have 5-inch
displays, while the K6 Note is the phablet of the bunch with a screen diagonal
of 5.5 inches - all of them FullHD resolution. Battery capacity is 3,000 mAh for
the K6, the K6 Power's moniker is warranted by a 4,000 mAh cell, which is the
same amount of juice the K6 Note gets, only in that class it's not as
impressive.
Camera setup is identical on the K6 and
K6 Power as well - they both get a 13 MP primary shooter, while the K6 Note takes
it up a notch to 16 MP, but also adds phase detection autofocus to the others'
contrast detection. All models are equipped with an 8 MP front-facing camera.
The three models have dual-SIM support,
LTE connectivity, Wi-Fi b/g/n (no ac), Bluetooth 4.1 and GPS. Each gets a
fingerprint sensor on the back, and Dolby Atmos certification. They all boot
Android Marshmallow, which may be soon to be replaced, but it's still current.
The entire K6 family will be priced in
the € 150-€ 230 range in Europe, depending on model and RAM/storage option. The
K6 will be available the soonest - in two weeks. You'll need to wait a month
for the K6 Power, and the K6 Note should arrive in November.
