Lenovo smartphone, the Vibe K5 Plus, to its budget line-up. the K5 Plus seems to tick all the right boxes. However, we still spent a few days with it to find out whether the K5 Plus has what it takes to disrupt the highly competitive budget segment. Accordingly, here’s what we think of itDesign For a budget device, Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus no doubt looks great. The smartphone comes with metallic edges and rounded corners, which impart it a premium finish. The front is dominated by the 5-inch touchscreen display, and also houses the selfie camera module, the earpiece, as well as the accelerometer and proximity sensors. The K5 Plus’ capacitive navigation buttons are placed below the display. However, they are not backlit, which made using them in dark environments a not-so-pleasant affair.
The volume rocker and power buttons are placed on the right, with the the 3.5mm audio jack and the micro USB slot on the top. The back panel of the Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus has the usual Lenovo branding and the 13 MP primary camera module, along with LED flash. The panel opens up to reveal the removable battery, as well as the dual sim and micro SD expansion card slots.
Display Speaking about the 5-inch ( 1080x1920p) IPS display of the smartphone, we were quite happy with it. Colors looked vibrant, and viewing angles were decent as well.
Speaking about the cameras of Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus, we found them to be decent. The 13MP rear camera took decent quality images in well-lit conditions; however, the same wasn’t true about images clicked in low light.
