In our present review, we want to tell about the available smartphone Lenovo K6 Note, which deserves attention. What is it so good? Let's deal with everything in order.
The gadget is packed in a box of dense multicolored cardboard. On the front side, which in the center appears the image of the gadget and model name. The bright box is unusual, since recently the manufacturers try to produce monochromatic options. In this regard, Lenovo stood out.
The equipment includes except the phone;
- film on the device display;
- paper paper to open SIM card slots;
- quick Start Guide;
- warranty card;
- conventional white headphones with a microphone;
- micro USB cable for connecting to a computer and charging;
- USB adapter on 2a.
The equipment is very good, especially if we take into account that the cost of Lenovo K6 note hesitates in the area of \u200b\u200b12,000 rubles.
Design
The manufacturer offers 3 color options:
- dark grey;
- gold;
- silver.
From the classic variants of the Black and White Recent Time, the company began to refuse, preferring to offer other colors.
The design of the device was noticeably transformed in comparison with K5. K 6 laptop received rounded the form of the back side and an absolutely smooth facial part. The phone format allows them to use it with one hand. The metal part of the case does not slide, because of which the gadget confidently lies in the palm of the palm. The upper and lower parts have plastic inserts with shiny separators at the joints with metal.
On the left side of the K6 laptop is a combined slot for two SIM cards in Nano-SIM format or 1 SIM and Micro SD memory cards. On the right end there is a power button and the volume button. From above Jack for headphones. On the bottom of the microphone and the Micro USB port.
If you flip the device, then on the back we will find:
- chamber;
- double flash;
- fingerprint's scanner.
The lid became non-removable, like most smartphones now. The camera and flash moved to the center. Right under them, the manufacturer comfortably posted a fingerprint scanner. Holding a gadget with one hand, the index finger is intuitive to him. With a slight touch of the scanner and in the heat, and in the cold quickly recognizes the owner and does not give any delays.
The facial panel is not much different from other models of the company. On the front of the display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and 3, not highlighted sensory buttons for control.
Above the display:
- front-camera;
- speaker;
- approximation sensors / lighting;
- LED indicator that notifies calls, notifications to mail, SMS, and so on.
Specifications of dimensions:
- Height - 151 mm.
- Width - 76 mm.
- Thickness - 8.4 mm.
- Weight - 170 grams.
In hand, Lenovo K6 Note is not bad. Feels like an expensive premium device.
Screen
Most buyers before purchasing one or another phone model, then pay attention to the display - its size and quality of the image. These factors decide very much.
And the weighty argument in its favor is ready to offer a screen with Full HD 1920 × 1080 with an IPS matrix. The display has a diagonal of 5.5 inches, which is quite a lot. Pixel density with 401 ppi. Supported 10 one-time touches.
What does this give us this? Pretty wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction. In the daylight, the picture remains readable and pleasant.
Specifications
Lenovo K6 note running Arm Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, 8-nuclear 64-bit processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz. Video accepter Adreno (TM) 505. The manufacturer offers us 3 GB of RAM. Such a size is the norm for stable operation in multitasadium mode.
It uses a standard diagram where you can choose either 2 characters, or 1 Simkart and a memory card for expanding the internal memory to 128 GB. This format is no longer surprised. There are 32 GB in the device itself, from which the user is available only 24 GB.
The version of Android 6.0.1 is installed inside. Lenovo decided to add an interesting addition to the standard capabilities of the operating system. Especially for those who actively live in social networks, then on K6 you can create double profiles. It is enough to activate it in the settings and you can use two independently configured accounts in your selected applications, such as WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Telegram, etc. After activating, clones will appear clones of the desired applications for use with the second account.
Smartphone communication abilities allow you to work without problems with third and fourth generation networks. But NFC Lenovo K6 Note did not get. The manufacturer decided that there would be enough standard Wi-Fi (B / G / N) and Bluetooth version 4.1.
The power of the processor and the video chip is enough to play Full HD rollers. When conducting a test with Antutu Benchmark, it showed a good result of 444 447 points.
Performance and autonomy
With the help of 6 notes, you can play almost any games, even with complex graphics. But for more stable and smooth operation, most likely, you will have to lower the graphics settings to medium.
For example, in Asphalt 8 with the maximum settings of the graphics that are available in the game everything works smoothly without glitches and lags.
Inside the battery with a capacity of 4000 m / h, which guarantees 1.5-2 days of work without charging in normal mode, which includes indicators such as:
- 1.5-2 hours calls on the phone;
- regular mail check;
- the Internet;
- social networks;
- but all this without games.
The device is charged pretty quickly, that is, in the area of \u200b\u200btwo hours. The use of current components allows less to spend the battery charge, and also significantly reduces the heating of the smartphone while watching the video and during games.
Camera
Like all modern phones, the K6 Note is equipped with two cameras:
- Basic - 16 megapixel.
- Frontal - 8 megapixel with light f / 2.2 light and fixed focus, which allows you to get good results even at room light.
The sensor lacks some photosensitivity, because of what photographs look too grainy. In addition to the foregoing, the gadget is able to shoot Full HD video with a frequency of 30 frames. The picture at it turns out very clear.
Sound
Lenovo K6 equipped a pair of external speakers of the Supervised Dolby Atmos System, which sound loud and clearly. Surprisingly, even with such a compact case, the dynamics are quite well reproduced bass. Thanks to this feature, the device may well replace small portable acoustics. And viewing video rollers and movies becomes more comfortable due to surround sound.
From the point of view of playing music, through the headphones there is a feeling that the maximum volume is not enough stock.
True, play and watch movies when to 6 in your hands, better after all through headphones, as otherwise, the right hand closes the speaker, and the sound becomes muffled.
RESULTS
What is the manufacturer as a result of us? This is a compact smartphone in a metal case, which is able to take care of the confidentiality of the data due to the fingerprint scanner.
Lenovo K6 Note came out quite interesting and at the same time a rather productive phone in a fairly democratic price.

In September, at the IFA 2016 exhibition, Lenovo presented novelties of the K-series - a well-known line of middle-class smartphones. And in November, the company announced the start of sales of K6 Note and K6 Power in Russia.
New models made in a single style have received metal housings, stereo speakers and support for the Dolby ATMOS stereo sound technology.
In our review, we will consider what two new items of the K6 family are: Lenovo C6 Note Fablet and Lenovo K6 Power Smartphone, and compare their characteristics.
Design
The design of K6 Note and K6 Power is almost identical. You can distinguish between the models in the first place by the display of the display: K6 Note is a 5.5-inch phable, K6 Power is a 5-inch smartphone.
The dimensions of K6 Note (height, width, thickness) are 151 x 76 x 8.4 mm, K6 Power - 141.9 x 70.5 x 9.3 mm. Floor weight - 169 g, smartphone - 145
The metal case with an insert from plastic produces a pleasant impression of a good and solid design without a sharp contrast of materials.
The front of the housing in both models is strict and concise: there are three touch buttons with a beautiful circuit without backlight, at the top - speaker, front camera and approximation sensor.
The rear panel contains the camera, under it - a dactylconical scanner, which produces an instant unlocking of the fingerprint system. Distinctive features of K6 Note - protruding lens and double flash. The boundaries between the main metal and plastic parts of the lid are elegantly outlined by two thin silver antennas lines.
The case cover is fixed and goes into the side frames with a smooth rounding. On the left side - card slots, right - the volume key and the power button.
Another external difference in models - in the location of stereo speakers. At K6 Note, they along with the microphone are located at the bottom of the case - on both sides of the Micro-USB port, and the K6 Power is at the bottom of the rear panel, while the Micro-USB port is placed in the top of the case.
The audio jack on both models is placed at the top of the body on the right.
Both models are presented in the Russian market in two color modifications: dark gray and gold.
CPU
Lenovo K6 Note and K6 Power are equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset, which operates at 1.4 GHz and consists of an eight-core central processor on the Cortex A53 microarchitecture and the Adreno 505 graphics processor. Attention is drawn to the fact that the chip is made by already extending The past standards of the technical process of 28 Nm, however, thanks to the GP of the new generation, the battery charge is spent slower when working with multimedia content.
The processor copes with all the everyday tasks assigned to it, works without brakes.
Operating system
In both models installed ADROID MARSHMALLOW 6. Its difference from the clean version is only in a few modified interface, but most standard programs are easily recognizable.
Memory
For the K6 Note, presented in the Russian market, 32 GB of permanent memory is provided, 16 GB is the capacity of the internal storage of the K6 POWER. Of these, 7.63 GB occupies the Android system. The amount of RAM NOTE is 3 GB, K6 Power - 2 GB.
Free tank in both models is quite enough for confident work in multitasking mode, and in addition, using a Micro-SD memory card, the space can be further increased to 256 GB.
For mid-level models - more than acceptable indicators.
Battery
Both models are equipped with a built-in battery with 4000 mAh and demonstrate high autonomy. Interestingly, the name K6 Power emphasizes its main difference - greater power, but only in comparison not with the K6 Note, and with the younger family model - the Lenovo K6 smartphone, the battery capacity of which is 1000 mAh less.
In gentle mode, K6 Note and K6 Power can do without recharging up to 4 days, with a continuous average load of the battery can be enough for 11 hours, and in the game mode, models can stretch up to 8 hours of continuous battles.
Cameras
The front camera in both models has a fixed focus and flash. The shooting is made with a resolution of 8 megapixel - for middle-class smartphones a very high indicator.
The main chamber of the K6 Note with a resolution of 16 MP has a phase autofocus and a two-wave flash. Smartphone K6 POWER is somewhat inferior to K6 Note, being equipped with a 13 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. Video recording from both models is made in a resolution of 1080p with a frequency of 30 frames per second.
Also in the application cameras K6 Note and K6 POWER there is a panorama mode, HDR and definition of persons. A geogue can be attached to the snapshot.
Photo and video filming in both models - at a fairly high level, high-quality selfie can be made even indoors.
Communications
Lenovo K6 Note and K6 Power have 2 slots for Nano SIM cards, while the second slot for the SIM card is combined with the memory card socket - you will have to choose between the second SIM card and the Micro-SD card.
In both models, the built-in mobile module works in GSM, 3G and LTE networks, the maximum transmission rate is 150 Mbps (version of Cat. 4). Separately, we note that 4G is supported by both slots for SIM cards.
The official adaptation of the apparatus for the European market completely eliminates problems with network compatibility.
The models and the standard set of communication interfaces are coincided: Wi-Fi B / G / N and Bluetooth 4.1. Navigation is carried out using GPS and GLONASS. NFC and IR port have no models.
Screen
Fablet K6 Note is endowed with a 5.5-inch screen density of pixel 401 PPI, the smartphone K6 POWER is equipped with a 5-inch screen with a PPI density. At both models, the screen is based on IPS matrices and has a permit full HD or 1920x1080.
These parameters provide abnormal distortion, natural color reproduction and the necessary stock of brightness, and also allow you to comfortably watch movies, photos and play your favorite toys.
The glass of the screen provides a light glide of fingers, the kit also goes a protective film.
Sound
Stereo speakers - the main feature of Lenovo K6 Power. Similar equipment - rarity for smartphones of the average price category.
At the Flight of the K6 Note, the speaker grilles are located at the bottom of the housing in one row, separated by the Micro-USB port, which is only under one of the lattices there is a speaker, and the microphone is hidden. Two rows of speakers on the housing cover are the advantage of the K6 Power smartphone.
In both models, Dolby ATMOS surround sound technology is supported.
Conclusion
Novelty from Lenovo - decent representatives of modern middle-class smartphones, quite relevant its price category. Metal body, balanced iron, high-quality display, support for Dolby ATMOS technology, the presence of stereo speakers, fingerprint scanner, a good camera and really long-playing batteries easily cover the standard set of communications and the absence of delights in the design of both models.
Fablet K6 Note and the K6 Power Smartphone will be interested in those who are looking for an inexpensive device equipped with modern and balanced iron, with a decent level of functionality and multimedia to solve everyday tasks.
Since Xiaomi has released a metallic medium-grade notes, many manufacturers decided to go the same way. So, after Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, we saw the MEIZU M3 Note metal phone, and now Lenovo K6 Note.. Competition is obvious, although the Samsukov has a steam-troop of the similar class phases, despite the Galaxy Note progenitor.
Appearance
In general, it is rather strange that Lenovo decided to release this series: it seems to have a Lenovo K5 Note smartphone with good characteristics. Yes, and the Series itself somehow looks very suspiciously on the series Redmi from Xiaomi. In any case, we have the next novelty, which deserves attention. As in the notes from XiMi, we see an identical body with a back, stretching directly to the front panel. All the same volume swings, the same location of the camera and flash module, under which we see a dactyloscopic scanner. So it can be argued that Lenovo K6 Note Even with close consideration on the showcase, you can confuse with a non-REDMI Note 3.
Technical capabilities and positioning
Another question in positioning and it is very unusual. It is enough to look at the technical characteristics of how the question arises: if the five-year Lenovo K6 is quite competing with Xiaomi Redmi 3s, how to position the senior 5.5-inch gadget from this review? After all, unlike other nootes, there is no beast, cope with demanding games, but all the same 430 snipdragon, which reaches the average annifier only due to freshness and optimization. With all this, we have 3 or 4 gigabytes of RAM, as well as 32GB of internal memory.
Anyway, the battery in the apparatus pleases: here is 4,000 mAh. I am glad and the camera that has received a sixteen farming sensor. As for sound, there is an active noise reduction system, as well as support for Dolby ATMOS.
If not to look at all "but", it becomes clear that we have a budget option that can be a good analogue of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. And considering the processor, consumption must be as optimized as possible. Yes, here we will not see superproductive power, but for this there is the same Lenovo K5 Note. Yes, and with good pricing policy, many who dreamed of a balanced Fabette will be interested in the device. After all, in the end, large diagonals and powerful processors have always led to increased consumption in the medium ages, there should be no problems here.

But the speaker in the K6 Note does not give reasons for praise. The volume is regulated strange - as long as the screen slider overcomes the first half of the segment, the sound becomes only slightly more intense, and starting from the second half the volume is growing avalanche-like. The speaker itself squeezes the sighty and sharp sound "as from the bucket". While the volume is moderate and there is a conversation / "Medley" from it - it does not matter, in other cases at high volume we get an unintelligible squeaky "porridge" from the average and, mostly high frequencies.
But in the headphones, everything should be different - Snapdragon same, yes software equalizer! But alas ... Firstly, some trouble with the volume - it is a 25% case below than in the average mobile phone (yes, at least in the same Redmi Note 3 / M3 Note / Liquid Z630). In general, the sound is not bad, although the detail slightly "strangled" so that hissing sounds do not presue the ears in the music with a low bitrate. The last deficiency can be eliminated if slightly lift the regulators in the right part of the equalizer. But with the volume, the situation is twofold - in tiny "plugs" there is enough of it, albeit the oppressive, in monitor headphones with resistance from 30 ohms and above has to always unscrew the regulator to the maximum. Then the volume is equal to the level of "slightly above average" in other smartphones. Perhaps Lenovo eliminates this problem in the following firmware. Or eliminate "Kulibins" in the engineering menu. Or such an "impotence" of the amplifier is laid at the iron level and it cannot be corrected.
Iron
The Chinese smartphone should impress the processor, otherwise what is this Chinese smartphone? But Lenovo without such matters is perfect. Would you like VIBE P1M with a four-core "block" MT6735P for 12 thousand rubles? Not? Then you will definitely like the K6 Note with Snapdragon 430 for only twenty you're still, where you are running ... But this is a powerful eight year processor! Three gigabytes RAM! You miss a unique user experience!
