Lenovo has added another smartphone, the Vibe K5 Plus, to its budget line-up. Priced at Rs 8, 499, 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 it:
Design
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.
