Lenovo K3 Note With 4G LTE Support, 5.5-Inch Display Launched

Lenovo on Monday launched a new 4G LTE budget phablet dubbed the Lenovo K3 Note in 

China, priced at CNY 899 (approximately $144).

Just like the recently launched Lenovo A7000, the Lenovo K3 Note offers dual-SIM 

(GSM+GSM) support, and runs Android 5.0 Lollipop with the firm's Vibe UI on top. Lenovo 

is also offering a Teana variant of the K3 Note that features a ceramic piece vibration 

speaker and is priced at CNY 999 (approximately $160).

Upfront, the Lenovo K3 Note features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display with 

401ppi pixel density. The smartphone is powered by a 64-bit 1.5GHz octa-core (MediaTek 

MT6572) processor with 2GB of RAM.

The K3 Note packs a 13-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 5-megapixel front 

facing camera. Inbuilt storage on the handset is 16GB, which is expandable via microSD 

card (up to 32GB). Connectivity options on the smartphone include 4G (TD-LTE/ LTE), Wi-

Fi, GPS/ A-GPS, Bluetooth, and Micro-USB.

The large-screen Lenovo K3 Note packs a 3000mAh battery, which is slightly bumped up 

from Lenovo A7000's 2900mAh battery. It measures 152.6x76.2x7.99mm and weighs 150 

grams.

The Lenovo K3 Note smartphone is seen as competition to the Meizu m1 note in 

China. While both devices have almost identical specifications, the key differentiator would 

be the pricing in China. The Meizu m1 note is priced at CNY 1,399 (approximately $222).

Meizu is one of the top smartphone manufacturers in China. The company is all set to enter 

the Indian market, as it has recently made its presence felt in Indian social media with the 

launch of its Facebook and Twitter India page. The company is running a giveaway contest 

for the Meizu m1 note, hinting at the firm being set to launch that smartphone first in the 

country.
