Those are the latest mid-range models Lenovo released in early 2016 and have been drawing much attention from consumers due to their affordable prices and strong hardware. But before telling what other brand’s phones will be defeated by them, we would like to pick out the most powerful K5. Firstly, let’s check out the following spec comparison table.

You may easily recognize some similarities in terms of specifications of these guys such as only one 16GB ROM (expandable) choice, 2GB RAM, Android 5.1 Lollipop OS, dual SIM, 13MP rear camera, and two color options: Silver and Gold. 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?!

No doubt Lenovo Vibe K5 price is also the lowest in this battle. Furthermore, if we look the whole picture including many other smartphones on the shelves now, K5 is really a good deal for those who just need a decent handset for normal use.
