It did not have a formal media launch unlike it's 2 better brothers but it is worth mentioning. This is my first look on Lenovo Vibe K5
Front: 5 inch IPS HD display, 5 MP secondary camera,
Back: 13 MP rear cam with flash, Lenovo logo, Dolby based speakers, removable back cover
Both the volume rocker and power/unlock button can be found at the right side.
Top: OTG capable micro USB port, 3.5 mm. audio jack
Bottom: Pin hole microphone, space for opening the back cover
The pulldown menu is the same that I saw in Lenovo A6000 Plus on Android 5.0 Lollipop which I previously reviewed. For it's price, the display has a wow factor for me (if there's a chance that you can check it in person in one of their dealers or stores) . Yup, no option for SIM swapping but at least you can have true blue dual SIM and dedicated micro SD slot.
The device comes with 5 point multi touch. The Antutu score is quite identical to the Cortex A53 version of Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core SoC at around 27,000. I am happy that it has 7 out of 9 sensors including gyro which I tried it on Google Cardboard.
For a bit of gaming, I played Asphalt 8 on high settings and it is quite playable with a bit of frame skips and you can feel a bit of heaviness on steering the wheel especially if you are coming from a bit powerful midrange processor like Mediatek MT6753.
Camera wise, it is also a good performer for the price. It just missed a bit on the color accuracy. Selfies is definitely presentable for my own taste.

A quite new Qualcomm budget processor, good overall design and performer for Php 6,999 is something to look forward to Lenovo Vibe K5 which is out now in stores.
