Lenovo K13 Note

Lenovo K13 Note Review, Pros and Cons – Lenovo devices may have lost a huge fan base over the years, but still, there are people who like these devices. The company recently unveiled its impressive mid-range Lenovo K13 Note smartphone, better known as the rebranded version of the Moto G10. Anyway, the device is currently exclusive to the Russian smartphone market.

However, there is a chance that this device will appear on the global stage. The K13 Note offers decent software and battery life with subtle camera features. On the other hand, performance support is quite adequate. All of these things are just the tip of the iceberg, so let’s move on to an in-depth review of the Lenovo K13 smartphone.

Lenovo K13 Note Review

Highlights

  1. Lenovo K13 Note smartphone has support for standard 6.5 inches HD IPS LCD display.
  2. As for camera technology, you’ll notice a 48MP main-camera on the back with 8MP selfie camera.
  3. The processing section handles the Snapdragon 460 chipset and Adreno 610 graphics units under the hood.
  4. As for software rendering, the simple Andriod 11 OS is present.
  5. Inside the box, you will receive a 10W charger that powers a massive Li-Po 5000 mAh battery.

Design and Display

The Lenovo K13 Note smartphone consists of a sleek design and is more like a matte finish design. The precise layout of the camera module with the combination of two impressive color schemes is a good option. You can choose between Aurora Gray and Pearl Sakura colors. Both models look simple at the same time. If you want to go a little more classic, the Pearl model will be the best choice.

On the same scale, you won’t have the side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Instead, the manufacturer deploys a rear-mounted fingerprint. While it didn’t look too bad, the side fingerprint reader would appreciate it more. Typically, on low-budget devices, you will not receive a fingerprint reader. In this case, the Lenovo K13 Note smartphone looks like a comparatively big deal.

The build quality is decent and the front display bezels are slim. In addition, the 6.5 inches IPS LCD panel with a water droplet notch provides excellent color rendering. Although the screen lacks the power of the AMOLED panel, you will still have an impressive viewing experience. But unfortunately, there are no higher brightness nits or HDR support to combine more features.

Memory and Internal

Now let’s move the hardware section of the Lenovo K13 Note smartphone which arrives with the 11nm Snapdragon 460 chipset, so the performance aspect matches its price prospective. Also, the octa-core processor speed can only reach 1.8GHz, which might be enough for daily uses, but you can’t use the K13 Note for multitasking.

The performance range between the entry-level and the medium level extends far, and the difference is quite noticeable in the daily use of the K13 Note. However, it can be overlooked due to its price and clean interface setup. The game aspect may have been overlooked. But luckily you’re getting the standard Android 11 OS. Therefore, without a doubt, the interface has not received any bloatware. Also, the customization features are fabulous.

As for the storage aspect, the K13 Note comes in 4GB RAM that also comes with 128GB storage. Here, storage is not a concern but the RAM support is. Typically, the entry-level phone didn’t have ample storage, but K13 Note, you’ll get it. As for RAM, you could say it’s a decent choice. However, if it has 6GB of RAM, it will be an awesome deal. Also, you can use a shared SIM slot to increase the limits.

Camera

The Lenovo K13 Note comes with a standard quad-camera configuration that may not have the best camera features, but you can still get a sleek filter and smooth AI support. The camera technology generally used in the Lenovo phone stands out from the rest of the competition only because of the quality of the immersive camera, whether it’s a low or high-level phone.

The 48 MP main sensor shows a drastic improvement in overall photography, you can capture a decent daylight snapshot. In terms of low light, the results might not be too bad either. As for the secondary camera unit, there is a usual 8MP ultrawide lens, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth lens. This completes the quad-camera module. At the front, the 8 MP selfie camera also works well on almost all filters.

Within the native camera app, you will get a precise amount of features, filters, and functions. Also, the main highlight would be the portrait images that look great with adequate lighting. However, the same thing can’t be expected from the video section, as it only goes up to 1080p resolution. Also, it didn’t even support stabilization software. Therefore, the video recording experience will remain average.

Battery and Others

There is no performance-oriented software or hardware that interrupts your display time on the Lenovo K13 Note phone. So it’s safe to say that you’ll achieve more than 6 hours of screen time, thanks to a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery. In addition, it also handles the Type C charging port while a 10W charger comes inside the box.

Plus, you’ll get lots of software and sensor support, plus 3.5mm connectors. Overall, there are no special features available on the K13 Note phone, but the ecosystem of simplicity makes this device a worthwhile choice. Speaking of prices, you can buy this phone for $ 140 (Rs 10,000) for 4/128 GB, which is a pretty fair deal.
