The good thing is that Android’s style and functionality were not tampered with much. The company has also added some new features and functions. The main difference is that all the icons of all installed apps are present on the home page. There is no app drawer that most people will not like. Most Chinese companies are showing confidence in this approach.

Performance
We found that it was usually very easy to use Lenovo K3 Note and also soothing. By the way, it is not possible to use this device with just one thumb due to the big size screen. We did not have any other problem other than this. There was no lag even during multitasking. Heywali insured HD videos were easily played without any deficiency.
The results of the benchmark test suggest that K3 Note is a very powerful device. The device got the best 45,616 points in AnTuTu and 20,680 points on the Quadrant Test. We feared that the results of graphics did not come as good due to high-density screen. But we are glad that the device received a result of 15fps in GFXBench and 6,667 in 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme.
The phone screen is really fantastic. We are very happy with this device in terms of viewing angle, color reproduction and sharpness. It works well in outdoor. The sound coming from the rear speaker was quite loud. The effect of Dolby Atmos clearly showed the voice, although it was more effective in earphones.
The camera sometimes disappointed and sometimes happy. The placement of the camera is in a corner of the rear part. Many times while taking photos, we found that our fingers used to come in front of the lens. For this reason, we had to hold the phone on its edge. The effect of lighting showed clearly on the photo taken from the camera. The photos taken during the rainy days were not as good as the photo taken in full light. When we reviewed the photo in full size, the lack of detailing was clearly reflected. However, the pictures on the phone’s screen looked great. Colors were usually good. Closeup shots came better than distant photos.
Voice calls were slightly dull, there was no special shortage. 4G data speed was a great experience. The life of the battery is good but not very spectacular. It lasted 8 hours 7 minutes on our video loop test.
Our decision
Lenovo is really surprised by the power and finish of our new device. K3 Note is a great device in this price range. It is clear that the golden period of the budget smartphone is not over yet. Given the popularity of the big screen, we feel that most customers would like to buy this phone. We also hope that Lenovo will also launch a regular size version of this device in the coming time.
In front of K3 Note Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G (Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G) looks a little old and in terms of performance it is on a few occasions U ureka plus (Yu Yureka Plus) is better than. The truth is that it is very difficult to choose one between Yureka Plus and K3 Note. By the way, Yureka Plus handset runs on Cyanogenos and now it is also Rs 1,000 cheaper, but we liked this product of Lenovo equally. Both devices are available in limited numbers and will be available through online flash cell, in such a situation, if you want, choose one. Both are a profitable deal.
