The Lenovo Vibe K5 and Vibe K5 Plus (with VR support) are the company’s answer to premium and metal budget phones including the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Redmi 3, Alcatel Flash Plus 2, or even to Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5S and Zenfone Max.
Both budget premium Android phones share some features and specs starting with the Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. Display size is at 5-inch with the K5 Plus getting a 1080p Full HD while 720p for K5. Both are powered by octa-core Snapdragon chipsets. The camera on each is a 13MP main shooter and 5MP selfie (fixed focus) camera.
The advantage of the K5 and K5 Plus is a more compact build compared to most budget phones offering wider display yet bulkier body.
We will update you once Lenovo PH drops the exact date of arrival and probably we will get the phones in a comparison and review vs Xiaomi, Meizu, Flash, and Asus. Of course, it will be thru Manila Shaker style.
