16MP shooter
The Lenovo K6 cảnh báo packs a 16MP main shooter. Considering its budget nature, we can"t realistically expect lớn be blown away by it. However, it"s a changed android world out there, and the industry has already proven that $200 can get you quite far regarding image chất lượng if you put the focus on the camera. The xiaomi Redmi 3S & Huawei Honor 5c, for example, both offer excellent camera experiences.

The Lenovo K6 cảnh báo offers the phase detection autofocus và dual-LED flash cài đặt of its cảnh báo predecessors. We would have appreciated 4K video recording, however, 1080p is as high as the Snapdragon 430 will go.
The camera interface is very streamlined. However, its smarts stretch deep, way beyond the initial impression. All the basics seem to lớn be covered well, apart from the normal and Pro shooting modes, you also get Slow và Fast motion modes, Panorama, HDR & a Nightscape mode. The latter two oddly bear an artistic cảnh báo in their titles, which is one way of politely stating that they can be used to lớn produce some questionably overdone results, if that is your desire.
The smart draft system takes things khổng lồ a whole other level. It appears khổng lồ consist of two distinct parts. First, there is the "Smart" toggle on the main camera UI. When enabled, it does the best it can lớn recognize the current shooting conditions & adjust itself accordingly. It is quite similar lớn Sony"s Superior tự động mode and tends to lớn work quite well.
Besides that, you also get a Smart composition toggle within the settings menu. Enabling it, calls an AI lớn monitor your viewfinder and its contents. Once it sees an opportunity to lớn suggest a better photo composition, angle or lớn simply remind you to level out the horizon, it does so with easy on-screen directions. It is a great system to lớn have.
We vị wish there was an easy way to tell which aspect ratio is native khổng lồ the camera at hand (it is 4:3, by the way) & to adjust camera resolution directly instead through a non-disclosed Maximum and Normal preset.
Still unique on the Lenovo K6 cảnh báo is fairly decent. There is some noise to lớn note, but the cấp độ of detail is quite good as well. The dynamic range comes off as a bit limited. Some sharpening artifacts can be seen here and there, but other than that, processing looks mature. Edge to lớn edge sharpness is not great, though.
The bigger issue we have with the Lenovo K6 lưu ý camera is the very drastic variation in exposure based on where you tap to lớn focus on the screen. Over- or under-exposing your photo is too easy. It"s as if that as soon as you tap an object in your viewfinder, the camera goes into an extreme spot metering mode. Fine tuning exposure in tự động hóa mode is not available either.
As previously mentioned, HDR is available on the K6 Note. In fact, there is more than one mode of it lớn choose from. Smart can elect khổng lồ trigger HDR, & it typically does a very good job of deciding when. If you would rather do it yourself, stick to lớn the classic mode. We tried the đô thị one as well, but the results are the very illustration of why some people badmouth HDR.
The Lenovo K6 lưu ý only has a vertical panorama mode where you shoot while you hold the phone in portrait mode. The results are far from great in terms of detail và exposure. At least there are no visible traces of stitching and the shooting conditions were less than ideal.
The 8MP selfie camera is about average as well. Nothing special to cảnh báo here. Still, you can use it for occasional video calls.
Finally, you can also check how the Lenovo K6 cảnh báo stacks up against some competition in our photo compare tool. Our database is quite rich on 16MP samples, so there should be plenty of options to choose from.
Video
As already mentioned, the Lenovo K6 cảnh báo can only shoot videos at a maximum of 1080p
30 fps. This is a limitation imposed by the Snapdragon 430 chip và is frankly a common one within the budget price segment, with very few offers managing to lớn break the 4K barrier.
As far as the clip interface goes, there is a dedicated one, complete with a proper và precise viewfinder, which is definitely nice. The available settings, however, are scarce & only limited to the resolution.
There is also a convenient toggle for the video stabilization. It is electronic only, with no dedicated optical hardware. That ultimately means cropping a bit of the field of view, but it seems to work surprisingly well, which makes it worth using.
Video files get recorded in a standard mp4 format, using the AVC and AAC encoders. The clip stream is a respectable 20 Mbps or so and audio is captured at 96 Kbps, 48 KHz in stereo.
Regarding clip quality, there is more to be desired in terms of detail và noise. However, considering the K6 Note"s budget nature, we can"t complain all that much.
You can also tải về an untouched sample (10s ~ 26MB).
Last, but not least, here is our đoạn phim compare tool, so you can see how the Lenovo K6 lưu ý stacks up against competitors.
The Lenovo K6 chú ý comes at a starting price of Rs. 13,999 The handset will be available via offline channels Gadgets 360 rates the phone 7 out of 10Lenovo launched the K6 power nguồn in India last month, in an attempt to lớn strengthen its portfolio in the sub-Rs. 10,000 segment. Considering that the company introduced the entire K6 series - Lenovo K6, K6 Power, và K6 chú ý - at IFA earlier this year, we"re not surprised lớn see that the next model is already here.
The all-new Lenovo K6 cảnh báo is the company"s first K-series điện thoại cảm ứng to be available exclusively via offline channels, & the company claims that it will be available at 15,000 retail stores in the country.

Lenovo K6 cảnh báo look và feelWhen the all-new K6 note arrived at our office, we first mistook it for another K6 nguồn (Review) unit, because the two have nearly identical boxes. Lenovo told us that the similar retail packaging for the K6 series is intentional. At first glance, the front of the K6 note also looks similar khổng lồ the K6 Power, though the screen kích thước is obviously a big differentiator. There is definitely a lot of consistency between the siblings in terms of design.
There are capacitive navigation buttons just below the display, and the volume và power buttons are on the side. The capacitive buttons for navigation vày not have backlighting, something we complained about with the K6 nguồn as well. The hybrid SIM tray, which can fit either two SIMs or one SIM & one micro
SD card, is on the left. The 3.5mm audio jack is on top, while there are two speaker grilles on either side of a Micro-USB port on the bottom.
At almost 170 grams, the Lenovo K6 chú ý initially felt heavy for its size, but after using it for a few days, we got used to lớn it. The all-metal design means that the handset feels sturdy, but the rear is also slippery. During our review, we had lớn be careful while using the K6 Note, especially if our hands were sweaty. Despite the screen size, we were comfortable using this smartphone with just one hand.
The front is dominated by the 5.5-inch display. The back of the K6 cảnh báo is where we see the most differences compared lớn the smaller K6 Power. Straightaway, we see a slight bulge for the rear camera with its dual-LED flash. This did look slightly odd and we wish that it could have been flush with the rear of the phone. While using the K6 Note, we found that the rear camera lens was susceptible to scratches.
The round fingerprint scanner is located right below the rear camera và flash. Two gold lines frame the top & bottom of the phone, and there"s some company branding towards the bottom as well.
The 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920-pixel) IPS display on the K6 note is vibrant and produces really sharp text & colours. The brightness is decent for outdoor use. There is no protection such as Corning Gorilla Glass for the display which seems lượt thích a potential weakness considering that competitors bởi offer this. Compared to the K6 Power, the K6 Note"s bigger screen makes it better for watching videos and playing games. Overall, the Lenovo K6 note felt sturdy. The phone ships with a headset, a power adaptor, a Micro-USB data cable, a warranty card, & a user manual.
Lenovo K6 note specifications and featuresThe Lenovo K6 chú ý has the same Snapdragon 430 processor clocked at 1.4GHz as the K6 Power, & we would have preferred something a bit more capable. There are two variants of this phone, one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, and one with 4GB of RAM và 64GB of storage. The former has hit our market first - & is also the one we are reviewing today - with Lenovo saying that the second one will be available soon. The điện thoại cảm ứng supports expandable storage via micro
SD thẻ (up to lớn 128GB).
The K6 lưu ý sports a 16-megapixel rear camera with PDAF (phase detection autofocus) và a dual-LED flash. At the front, the K6 note retains the same 8-megapixel front camera seen on the K6 Power. Connectivity options on the handset include 4G with Vo
LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, bluetooth 4.1, & GPS. The K6 chú ý also includes an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, & digital compass.
On the software front, the Lenovo K6 note runs android 6.0 Marshmallow with Lenovo"s Vibe Pure UI on top. We liked using it on the K6 Power, và it"s still good. Other software features are common across the models as well, including the app lock functionality that allows users khổng lồ lock any app behind a fingerprint; Dual Apps mode, which lets users have two Whats
App & other accounts on the same phone; và Fingerprint Snap, which lets the fingerprint sensor act as an alternative shutter button. Overall, Vibe Pure UI is smooth và feels fast with only a small amount of bloatware.

VR Headset Is Easy to lớn Use, for VR or Basic Big-Screen Fun)
With the K6 Note, Lenovo is once again promoting its Theater
Max technology & ANT VR headset, which was initially launched with the Lenovo Vibe K4 chú ý (Review) at the beginning of 2016. The headset basically allows users to lớn experience truyền thông media such as movies, games, và other content with a 100-degree field of view which is almost equivalent khổng lồ a cinematic experience. It is however worth mentioning that users will have lớn buy the Ant VR headset separately from Amazon India. We tried the new K6 lưu ý with an Ant VR headset and it worked as intended. One can enable VR mode by long-pressing the power nguồn button, or from within the Settings app.
Considering that the Ant VR headset is fairly inexpensive & is built well, the K6 lưu ý offers users a chance lớn experience VR without spending a bomb. We will however reiterate that Lenovo needs lớn forge partnerships with nội dung creators to lớn push virtual reality support on its smartphones. For now, users can only experience movies, videos, & some games.
Lenovo K6 lưu ý performanceDespite featuring a mid-range Snapdragon 430 processor, the K6 cảnh báo was fast enough for our daily requirements. We didn"t experience lag while multitasking or while flipping through multiple apps. Games like Dead Trigger 2 & Plants vs. Zombies 2 worked smoothly. We however noticed slowdowns during video calls on Whats
App, Skype, & Google Duo, which was unexpected considering that we were using a fast Wi-Fi connection.
We got 44,217 in An
Tu
Tu, which was way above the Lenovo K6 Power"s score of 27,372 và the Redmi 3S Prime"s 40,250. All three phones are powered by the same Snapdragon 430 processor. We also observed scores of 15fps in GFXbench, 21,063 in Quadrant, and 5.601 in 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme.
The fingerprint scanner at the back was quick, and unlocked the device even when in standby. Watching videos, movies, và games on the K6 cảnh báo was a treat, & the Dolby Atmos audio enhancement makes a noticeable difference. However, we were disappointed with the bundled earphones, which were below average. The Lenovo K6 lưu ý supports Vo
LTE (voice over LTE) on both SIMs and we didn"t experience any hotline drops due lớn handset issues.
The Lenovo K6 Note"s camera does a good job when it comes to lớn casual everyday shots. The 16-megapixel sensor with PDAF is quick lớn lock focus. The Smart Composition tool tries khổng lồ help in different situations, but can be turned off in the camera settings. The phầm mềm offers various modes including Pro, Panorama, Nightscape, HDR, Fast-motion, và Slow-motion. We especially liked the Fast-motion & Slow-motion features as they increased and decreased the subject"s speed. We would have liked the ability to turn these clips into GIFs - other manufacturers such as Gionee have started adding tư vấn for GIF creation in their camera apps.
The camera interface is easy to use, và we managed to take some good detailed landscape shots. Macros also appear with decent colour accuracy & details. Images taken in daylight could have been sharper, & edges tended to have noticeable noise when seen on a larger screen. In some shots taken under direct sunlight, we noticed that colours were washed out.
We were impressed with low-light shots. Even in the dark, the camera was able to hold a subject in focus, which is good. Selfies on the K6 note were decent for sharing casually on social media, but not very impressive overall.
We managed khổng lồ get 13 hours & 20 minutes of playback time in our HD video loop test, which is decent for a battery of this size. The Lenovo K6 Power, with its smaller display, managed more playback time. In everyday usage with both SIMs active, the K6 lưu ý easily managed to lớn last over a day. It supports fast charging though Lenovo is not promoting this feature. We found that 30 minutes of charging filled the battery up to lớn 50 percent, & the device could be charged fully in under 100 minutes.
VerdictLenovo is one of the many companies in India that have invested heavily in establishing an online sales presence, và several models in the recent past have been online exclusives. With its new K6 lưu ý however, the company wants khổng lồ reach customers who lượt thích purchasing phones offline. The K6 cảnh báo offers a large screen & a basic VR experience through the affordable Ant VR headset, which is a great feature even if it isn"t always practical. We like this phone"s build chất lượng and display, but we still would have liked a more powerful So
C.
Starting at Rs. 13,999, the Lenovo K6 note will be competing against the similarly priced xe máy G4 Plus (Review) và will also have to fend off the mi Redmi cảnh báo 3 (Review) which is priced lower và offers good overall performance.
