Another day, another new smartphone. The Lenovo K6 Power is the latest to join the hyper competitive sub Rs. 10, 000 market. A market that is dominated by the likes of Xiaomi, Coolpad, Micromax and more. The Lenovo K6 Power is then aimed to take the competition head on. Power packed with specifications and a competitive price point, the phone seems to have what it takes to make a mark for itself. We’ve spent a couple of days with the handset and here’s what we think of the Lenovo K6 Power.
smartphone was launched in September 2016. The phone comes with a 5.00-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1080 pixels by 1920 pixels at a PPI of 441 pixels per inch. The Lenovo K6 Power is powered by 1.4GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor and it comes with 3GB of RAM.
Design
For better or worse, the Lenovo K6 Pro is a pretty generic looking device. The front in particular could easily pass off as any other entry-level Android device. The device measures 141.9 x 70.3 x 9.3mm and in hand, it feels good albeit pretty much the same as any other in the category.
You can also easily drop into the app drawer from where you’ll be able to find all remaining applications. We like the fact that bloatware has been kept to a minimum and so have needless customisations. Really, the icons aside, Lenovo’s software interface could very well be stock Android.
Performance
Between the Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor and Adreno 505 GPU aided by 3GB of RAM, the Lenovo K6 Power does well enough in its category. It’s main competitor is the Xiaomi Redmi 3S that packs similar specifications. Face it, a phone like this is not meant to be a scorcher. It strikes a good balance between power, performance and also battery life. We found that the Lenovo K6 Power worked very smoothly while navigating the interface. There’s no lag or stutter here. Even while multitasking we failed to get the phone to slow down. High end games run fine but take a bit longer during start up. We also observed an occasional drop in the frame rate.
