The fingerprint scanner is sensitive and unlocks the phone quickly. Lenovo has included app lock functionality which can be set up to use the fingerprint sensor.
The all-metal body gives the K6 Power a premium feel, though it also makes the phone a bit slippery. It could slip out of a hands if not held carefully. However, it was easy to use with just one hand thanks to the manageable 5-inch screen. We liked some of the UI additions made by Lenovo including the shortcut of double-pressing on a volume button to launch the camera app quickly. This works even with the phone locked.
The 5-inch screen on the Lenovo K6 Power has a full-HD resolution, for a density of 441ppi which makes text appear quite sharp. Brightness is good and colours are punchy. Viewing angles and sunlight legibility are also decent. The display on the K6 Power is one of its biggest highlights. The Lenovo K6 Power’s retail box includes a regular charger, a data cable, a SIM ejector tool, and instruction leaflets.
Lenovo K6 Power specifications and features
The Lenovo K6 Power is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor that we’ve seen in the Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime. This octa-core SoC is clocked at 1.4GHz and is coupled with 3GB of RAM. The phone has 32GB of inbuilt storage and supports expansion using a microSD card(up to 128GB). Dual Nano-SIMs are supported, but unfortunately, the K6 Power uses a hybrid SIM slot which means users have to chose either two SIMs or one SIM with a microSD card. Connectivity options include 4G with VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, FM radio, Micro-USB, and GPS/A-GPS.
The Lenovo K6 Power runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Lenovo’s Vibe Pure UI on top. The company has been reducing the bloatware on its smartphones, and the UI on the K6 Power definitely felt smooth. There are two default home screens with app icons scattered across them. It’s worth mentioning that there is no default Gallery app on the K6 Power, which might be slightly confusing for new users. Google Photos is preinstalled but not set as the default photo handler. Lenovo however provides access to all kinds of files through a File Manager app.
