The Lenovo Vibe K5 Note has been launched in three colours: black, gold, and grey. We spent some time with a gold unit of the at the launch event. To start off, the new Vibe K5 Note from Lenovo looks sturdy compared to the Vibe K4 Note. The all-metal body is easy enough to hold and use, but the matte finish on the Vibe K4 Note offers a better grip. The metal also means that the Vibe K5 Note at 165 grams is slightly heavier than its predecessor which weighed 158 grams. On the other hand, the Vibe K5 Note is slimmer at 8.4mm than the Vibe K4 Note ( 9.1mm) .
