Lenovo unleashed the
Lenovo K5 and its sibling, the K5 Play. The K5 is a full-screen smartphone, but
it belongs to the entry-level category. Today, the manufacturer announced the
phone is ready for purchase at a price tag of 899 yuan (US$ 142).
One of the biggest selling points of the Lenovo K5
is its appearance. The phone uses a double-sided glass design. According to the
official information, it passes through a 15-layers precision manufacturing
process that adds a bright glare film layer to make the body shine. But it also
uses a 7H hardness grade cover to protect the body from minor and major
scratches.
As for configuration, the Lenovo K5 is packed with a
5.7-inch full-screen that comes with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and an
aspect ratio of 18:9. Under the hood, we can find a MediaTek MTK6750 octa-core
chip clocked at 1.5GHz. The SoC is paired with a 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal
storage, and a 3000mAh capacity battery.
The Lenovo K5 also sports a 13+5MP dual-camera that
supports 99 continuous shooting, panoramic photography, and other functions. On
the front, it carries an 8MP shooter with a multi-face model landscaping.
The phone runs on ZUI 3.1 coming with an improved
U-Touch function. Thanks to it the gestures replace the virtual keys bringing a
better full-screen experience. Say a simple slide on the upper right side of
the screen will open the shortcuts bar, the same operation on the upper left
side will open the history, a slide on the middle of the screen will take you
to the home screen, etc.
