Lenovo Vibe K4 Note - The Big Review

By -
Lenovo has been in the news for quite a while now. The Chinese giant is thinking of eliminating the Motorola brand and bring it as its own sub brand - 'Moto by Lenovo'. Lenovo grabbed eyeballs with the K3 Note and that’s the reason why expectations from the Vibe K4 Note have increased by manifolds. Adding to the hype, Lenovo has also been teasing its killer display all along, adding to the curiosity about what’s on offer. With the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note finally launched in India at Rs 11,999, It is time to take a close look at the specs to see what it holds within.


PROCESSOR

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note packs the Mediatek MT6753 chipset .Two key hardware additions to Lenovo Vibe K4 Note over the predecessor are fingerprint sensor and NFC.

DISPLAY & DESIGN


Where the K3 Note sported an uninspiring, blocky design and all-plastic build, the new handset features a curved back panel and metal on the sides. Lenovo Vibe K4 Note, at nearly 160 grams, is a little heavy but not too much so. Plus, the curved rear casing makes it easy to grip the smartphone. The metal on the side adds a premium feel to the budget handset. The fingerprint sensor and camera are placed in a metal-finish module on the back.
The display of Lenovo Vibe K4 Note measures 5.5-inch and sports Full HD (1080p) resolution, same as that of the predecessor.

CAMERA

The K4 Note sports a 13MP rear snapper and a 5MP front-facing camera. The rear snapper features PDAF technology for improved focus and ISOCELL technology for clearer images.

SOFTWARE


The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note will run rather older Android 5.1 Lollipop with a layer of the Vibe UI on top. The Vibe UI is Lenovo’s custom made user interface that overlays Android. Adding a fingerprint to the smartphone’s memory is pretty easy; the fingerprint sensor worked accurately each time we tried it. If you touch the fingerprint sensor while operating any app, it will bring you straight to the home screen. However, an update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow seems to be coming.

MEMORY

Lenovo has bumped up the RAM from 2GB to 3GB, which should be more than enough to handle a plethora of apps and we also hope a slick UI experience.It maintains 16GB onboard storage. However, on the brighter side, it support microSD card slot that lets you expand the storage up to 128GB.

BATTERY

A 3,300mAh battery and support for faster charging is promised by the company for the K4 Note. The battery is slightly improved, however, we can comment on the battery life, only once we have taken the device for a spin in our labs. And yes, it supports Quick Charging!!

PRICE

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is priced at Rs 11,999 and is available exclusively on Amazon via flash sales starting 19 January. The K4 Note bundled with the ANTVR headset (costs Rs 1299) will cost Rs 12,499.

REVOLUTIONALIZE EDUCATION           Hi Friends, this is Suman Pandit, student of Electronics Engineering, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I have an appetite for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. In the coming days, the blog on which your sight is will feature articles ranging from sports, technology, music, art, social issues, etc. The topic for today is Education.           Education is one of the most important aspects of a human being’s life. It is a process which begins from the birth of a person and continues for his lifetime. Education is responsible for the growth of many nations and communities. Our Country, India has a population of over 1.2 billion (which is the 2 nd largest in the world). It has more youths of the age 18-30 than any other country in the world. But still, it is a developing country. The main reason for this is illiteracy and unemployable graduates. In India, people are qualifi...

A Solution to solve Mumbai's Vaccination Problem - an open letter to CM of Maharashtra

By -

Hope you are doing well..... The whole country is in deep COVID crisis. In Maharashtra too, the cases are rising. If we don't prevent this sooner, we will be in deep shortage of medical supplies and this can give rise to a big health emergency.  The only way in which we can prevent this is by Mass Vaccination of everyone in Mumbai and Maharashtra. Vaccination prevents infection of COVID and hospitalization in all age categories to a great extent. Countries like Israel and UK are a great example. As centre has not allowed Maharashtra to allow door to door vaccination, I have another idea of undertaking mass vaccination in Mumbai (can be expanded to all of Maharashtra too). After 1st May when vaccination will be opened for all adults, this will help reduce the burden on the current vaccination centres The idea- There are a lot of grounds and parks in every locality of Mumbai. They are now idle because of the current mini lockdown. There are many nurses and attendants too ...

How the 2024 T20 World Cup is a Boon for Bowling and Cricket as a whole

By -
Image
T he just-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) was a batsman's paradise. Flat pitches and the 'Impact Player Rule’ led to a run-fest. But fast forward a month, and the narrative has flipped dramatically in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Here in the Caribbean islands and USA, slower pitches and a focus on bowling are offering a refreshing and, I believe, ultimately positive, change for the sport.  Look at the numbers: Afghanistan's young pace phenom Fazal Farooqi leads the wicket-taking charts with a staggering 12 scalps in just 3 matches. The wily Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, already the record holder for most wickets in a single T20 World Cup edition (2021 & 2022), is weaving his magic again, controlling the middle overs with his bag of tricks. I still am in awe of New  Zealand's Lockie Ferguson gave a spectacular performance against Papua New Guinea in their final match of the T20 World Cup campaign on Monday. During his spell, Ferguson conceded zero...
