Lenovo Vibe K5 Appears Specs Price Philippines

Lenovo Vibe K5 finally makes its appearance in its metal-clad design that comes in brushed graphite black, gold or silver color options. Houses a 5 inch 720p HD IPS Display which should make it more manageable size for easy to carry and portability.

Here is quick unboxing of Lenovo Vibe K5!

Examining closely, all ports are located on top with 3.5mm audio jacck and  MicroUSB port. Clean is the bottom part and left side part. The Right Side only holds the volume rocker and power/lock button.

Removing the back case reveals more. It is not entirely a metal back case as its top and bottom part is polycarbonate plastic. There are pins that connects the board to the metal sheet. This might be to enhance signal strength as both wifi and cellular signals show better reception. Two (2) MicroSIM and one dedicated one (1) MicroSD slot is also found for its network and additional storage. Could see Dual Stereo Speakers that provide very loud sound system.

Underneath, is a Snapdragon 415 Octa-Core Processor with Adreno 405 GPU coupled wiith 2GB RAM and 16GB of expandable storage (up to 10GB usable storage). Lenovo is first to sold smartphone utilizing 415 and it delivered acceptable Antutu score and performance. See Antutu Below:

With Performance, we played Asphalt 8 and NBA 2K16. With Asphalt 8in high setting, it ran flawlessly. However with NBA 2K16, it is not playable on High Settings as game play was plague with lag but the game is playable in ultra low settings with reflections and shadows are off. It did run Asphalt 8 wiithout any trouble.



A 13MP Rear camera  with LED Flash  and 5MP Front camera serves its photographic features. Camera UI is just simple with only few modes and settings but its captures and outputs are of better quality with great focus, real colors and detailed.

Simple Camera UI that offers only Normal, Panorama and Effects. Full HD Video Recording with EIS is supported. Manual Settings include only White Balance, ISO and Metering.

Camera Samples Here:

Focusing is on the spot and remarkable as seen above. With a bright sunlit environment, it was able to focus on the flower alone and brought down exposure to the point the background had darken while enough highlights on the target.

Colors are on point and like real-time. Camera module has great control of light. Even with aperture size of f/2.2, outputs came out with good exposure not over exposed or under.

Daylight photos are good with better image detail. However with HDR mode, there is too much adjustments on shadows and highlights therefore even with foreground is highly detailed, clouds were washout due to high highlights.Although when it comes to Night shots, this is where the camera fails to capture details.

For its 5MP, Lenovo Vibe K5 just produce decent output in well lit conditions. This is because with aperture of f/2.8,  smaller camera hole therefore less light enters so poorly exposed selfies. You really need a steady light source.

Comes with today's standard of connectivity features such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. This is a Dual Sim Handset and supports better internet connection via LTE. Like we said on the start of the article, signal strength are enhanced with the metal construction of the phone. A very good use of metal design by Lenovo.

Vibe UI is on top of Android 5.1 Lollipop. There are a few bloatware but you could easily uninstall, disable and manage via Background App Management. There are other management settings like Notificaton, Permission and App Management and Data.

There are Customization available with Themes but touch and gesture controls are missing. Other value added apps such as ShareIt is available. It's build in file manager, supports FTP to wirelessly access your files via your internet browser and wireless network.

Lenovo Vibe K5 is the cheapest Lenovo Smartphone with Theatermax coupled with enhanced Dolby Atmos for its Dual Speakers for a better sound experience. Simply just turn on VR Split screen mode launch the VR app, put on the VR kit and enjoy.

Carries a 2750mAh Removable Batttery which should give you more battery life considering its not so power hungry specifications. For heavy user, with gaming (NBA Grade games) 3-4 hours max but for casual and moderate use 6-7 hours. Charging time is 2+ hours and does not support 2A Fast charger.

Overall, Lenovo Vibe K5 is fairly good budget smartphone with solid metal built, quality performance, better camera and VR ready smartphone at budget price. It does have some of its shortcomings with only HD Display and no fast charging but Lenovo needed to cut on somethings to make this affordable. Tested VR on kids, and they found it to be good and exciting. VR kit is not included in the package so better get the 299 with Lazada. haha

Spotted Via Villman and said to retail for 6,990 Pesos which should make it the more affordable Lenovo Smartphone with great build, portable size, Snapdragon processor with LTE.
