Lenovo K5 Note expected to launch in India with 4 GB of RAM


Lenovo launched the Vibe K5 Note, back in January this year in China, rather surprisingly alongside the Vibe K4 Note, but the company is now preparing to bring this smartphone to India, with the device expected to launch next week, on August 1. If you’ve been looking forward to the latest affordable offering from Lenovo, there’s some great news that should get you even more excited about this launch.
A post on Lenovo India’s Twitter page teases the fact that the Indian edition of the K5 Note will feature 4 GB of RAM, instead of the 2 GB of RAM that was available with the original version. The K5 Note is an improved version of the Vibe K4 Note that had launched earlier in India, and sports a full metal body. Apart from the upgrade in the amount of RAM, we can expect the other specifications to be similar to the Chinese variant, including a 5.5-inch Full HD display, a large 3,500 mAh battery, and 4G LTE support.
With so much RAM at your disposal, the only thing you'll worry about on the  is running out of apps.
Similar to the Vibe K4 Note, its successor features a rear fingerprint scanner, a 1.5W speaker with Dolby ATMOS surround sound and supports Lenovo’s TheatreMax technology and ANT VR headset for converting games and videos in virtual reality. However, it’s not yet known if Lenovo will bundle the ANT VR headset along with the Vibe K5 Note, like it had done in with the  K4 Note. We can also expect the Indian variant of the K5 Note to release with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.
Lenovo has built quite a reputation for offering budget-friendly smartphones, and the Vibe K5 Note sells for about approximately Rs.11,300 in China. The device in India is expected to be priced slightly higher at around Rs.11,999 but the difference isn’t much, especially when you consider the extra 2 GB of RAM that is being added.
Let us know in the comments below if you think the Lenovo Vibe K5 Note is a good deal at this price!

The latest additions in terms of functionality, now rolling out to the beta version of the app, are a brand new voicemail feature and the ability to use monospace text formatting. We first heard about voicemail and call-back support in , when text related to the featuresWhatsApp a few months ago , showed up in translation requests. Now the feature is going live for beta users. Here’s how it works: if you call someone on WhatsApp and the other person doesn’t pick up or declines the call, you will see a screen that lets you quickly call back or record and send a voice message. The ability to send voice messages isn’t new, but now WhatsApp is integrating it in the calling interface, bringing the app closer to the way a conventional phone call works. Next, WhatsApp is adding a new text formatting option, monospace text. We’re not sure there are lots of users who were eagerly anticipatin...
