The Lenovo K3 Note is the company’s phablet offering in China that packs a 5.5-inch Full HD display, MediaTek 64-bit octa-core CPU, dual-SIM with LTE, 3,000mAh battery, and Android Lollipop. Although not officially offered in the country yet, we managed to get our hands on one to see what it initially has to offer.
The K3 Note sports a 5.5-inch IPS Full HD display at 401ppi on the front. It has relatively thin bezels on the sides which helps in flaunting the device’s large screen. Above it are the earpiece, 5 megapixel camera, and the notifications light. Down below are three unlit capacitive buttons for navigation.
On the right are the textured physical keys with chrome finish for the volume and power/lock. Found right up top are the microUSB port and headset jack, while down at the bottom is a pinhole for the microphone.
Flip it on its back and you’ll see the white removable cover, 13 megapixel camera, dual-LED flash, secondary microphone, the Lenovo branding, and speaker that is placed on the right-hand part just like the Lenovo A7000.
On hand, the K3 Note feels light as it only weighs 150g and it’s relatively thin too at 7.6mm. Design-wise, the K3 Note has curved sides at the back (similar to the design of the Xiaomi Mi Note) which also aids in gripping. In addition, it’s also attractive thanks to the pearlascent coating with matte finish.
We did our initial benchmark with AnTuTu and it scored 44,685, scoring below the OnePlus One but above the HTC One M8.

JC Sales says:

rion says:

Q says:
alcatel flash plus or lenovo k3? Wdyt guys?
LG G4 says:
I need a secondary phone
I’m choosing this K3 note or the Alcatel Idol X+
It has the same price @7,900pesos.
I don’t like the zenfone 2 the one with a price tag at 7,900 pesos.
sean the great says:
Are the Lte bands compatible with globe and smart?
NotaSheep says:
Meizu m1 note vs Lenovo K3 vs Alcatel flash +? IN EVERY DETAIL!! from real time experience on Hardware, Software and Reputation!
Mr A says:
I got bummed with the App sale Lazada had this afternoon. They basically sold only 3 units for the Flash plus. This teasing and all is very irritating that I would rather just buy something else even if it worth a few more just so that those ass hats would stop doing it.
I’m confused, what is the point of this? is it to promote the brand by creating very limited edition phones just to give the good impression of the overall brand? Or it’s just limited because they knew doing it won’t really give much of a revenue for them.
Mr A says:
I agree with one of the commenters dito. I wish they had told kung compatible ang LTE. Though I checked the bands ok naman, but I would prefer a confirmation from the people who has the phone para sure.
I hope Widget could answer it later mamaya.
pedro says:
i own a k3 note. camera is good 13mp back aperture 2.0 antutu says exmor rs cmos (sony) 5mp front. battery is really 3000mah screen time about 6hours can go 7hours minimize display, etc. removable also. charging time is about only 2hrs. speaker i think has also like the a7000 dolby atmos sound so clear. can do double tap screen on and double tap lock screen. my antutu is 46,133. nice FHD screen. vibeui 2.5 android 5.0 KTHANKSBYE! :)

Next alcatel flash plus sale June 5:
http://www.lazada.com.ph/alcatel-flash-plus/
Kahit papaano di hinahayaan ng alcatel na matagal ang sale date intervals nila. Since mas malakas ang distribution power ng Lenovo, piece of cake na sa K3 Note ang ganitong sale strategy.
Anderson says:
good product but widget city sucks! poor after sales service. impolite staff
ian says:
Avail na kaya to sa mga malls?
jay says:
ask ko lang if the phone i compatible w/ smart/globe since i read some user opinions sa gsm arena that their K3 isn’t compatible w/ their service provider kc it’s for Chinese market daw… i’m not really familiar w/ tech stuff, i stick lang kc w/ phones na may basic txt and call feature eh pinipilit nila akong bumili na ng smartphone kexo pwede ko raw lagyan ng apps for medschool and pang skype ko raw.. okay ba itong phone? wala bang problem sa Globe/Smart. Thank you
