Lenovo’s 6 Note Look and Design
When the review unit of 6 notes came in our office, we have given it 6 power for a moment (Review) Felt. Because the retail boxes of both look exactly the same. Lenovo told us that the same retail packaging is also in the international market for 6 series. At first glance, the front of 6 note looks like 6 power of the front panel. However, there is a difference in screen size. We can confidently say that both phones have a lot of similarities in the design.
There are capacitive navigation buttons under the display. The power button is on the edge. The hybrid sim tray is on the left side. The 3.5mm audio jack is at the top. At the same time, two speakers are present at the bottom. They are ranked next to Micro-USB port.
6 notes of 170 grams of Lenovo looked over weight according to their texture. But after using for a few days, we became accustomed to it. The smartphone feels strong due to metal design. But the rear part slips in the hands. During the review, we had to take additional precaution when we were holding 6 notes in their hands. Despite the big screen, we did not have difficulty in using it with one hand.
The front has a 5.5 -inch display. The backpanel of this phone is really different from 6 power in many ways. First of all you will see the camera bulge. Along with this, dual LED flash. It was a bit strange in appearance. It would have been good if the company had given a flat backpanel. During the use we found that there was more likely to have scratch marks on the rear camera lens.
The spherical fingerprint sensor is present under the rear camera and flash. Two gold line frames are in the top and lower back of the phone. The company’s branding is at the bottom.
The 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) of the 6 note produces the IPS display vibrant and sharp colors. Brightness is suitable for using outside. The shocking thing is that there is no protection like Corning Gorilla Glass on the display. The experience of watching videos and playing videos on a larger screen of K6 Note compared to K6 Power is much better. Overall, Lenovo’s 6 note gives a feeling of strength. With the phone you will get a headset, power adapter, micro-USB data cable, warranty and user manual.

Through the 6 note, the company is once again promoting Theatermax Technology and Ant VR headset. This Lenovo Vibe’s 4 Note ,Review) Along with it was launched in early 2016. Actually, with the help of this headset, users can get an experience of cinema hall with cinema, games and other content. Let us know that you have to buy Ant VR headset separately from Amazon India. We used Ant VR headset with 6 notes and it went on according to our desire. You can activate VR mode by pressing the power button for a long time. Or also through the Settings app.
The price of Ant VR headset is very high. In such a situation, VR experience with K6 Note for the user is very easy. However, we will once again repeat our old matter that Lenovo needs to partner with other content making companies for virtual reality content.
Lenovo’s 6 Note Performance
Despite being a mid -range Snapdragon 430 processor, 6 notes did not disappoint in daily use. We did not complain during multi-tasking. And coming and going between many apps was also smooth. Games with powerful graphics like Dead Tiger 2 run easily. However, the phone definitely slowed down during video calls on WhatsApp, Skype and Google Duo. Given the fast Wi-Fi connection, we already had such expectations.
Its benchmark results Lenovo’s 6 power and Redmi 3S Prime Come more than Please tell that all three phones have Snapdragon 430 processor.
The fingerprint sensor on the backpanel works fast. It also unlock the device with standby mode. The experience of watching video and cinema and playing game was fantastic. In this, Dolby Atmus Audio Inhanine also plays its role well. However, the quality of earphones given with handset was worse than average. Both SIM slots of Lenovo’s 6 notes support Voice over LTE.
Lenovo’s 6 note camera is fully capable for common photography. The 16 -megapixel sensor is equipped with PDAF. This rapid focus locks the smart composition tool will help you take photos in many circumstances. If you want, you can also keep it closed through camera settings. In the app, you will find modes like Pro, Panorama, Nightscape, HDR, fast motion and slow-motion. We liked fast motion and slow motion feature.
There is no difficulty in understanding the camera interface. We took landscape shots with details. Macrose shots also came well. The color was very accurate in these and there was no shortage of details. Pictures taken in daylight could have been more sharp. Apart from this, noys are seen on the shore. In pictures taken in straight sunlight, we found that Colors were washed out.
We were more affected by the performance of the camera in low light. In the dark, the camera does not have difficulty in focusing on the subject. The front camera of K6 Note took a good selfie. You can feel free to share them on social media. However, their quality was not very good.
The phone battery lasted 13 hours 20 minutes in HD video loop test. Given the battery size, it will be considered good. It lasted easily for a day in common use. It supports fast charging. But the company is not speaking too much about this feature. We found that the phone’s battery was half charge in 30 minutes. And it is possible to fully charge the device in about 100 minutes.
Our decision
Lenovo is one of the selected companies that have made a tremendous hold in the online segment in India. Under this strategy, the company has recently launched several online exclusive handsets. But through K6 notes, the company is eyeing the customers who like to buy the phone from the offline store. In K6 Note you will get a uninterrupted VR experience with a large screen. We liked the build quality and display of this phone. But the company should have given more powerful chipset.
Lenovo’s 6 notes clashed with Rs 13,999 Moto G4 Plus ,Review) Will be from. By the way, challenge Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 ,Review) It will also be available from which being cheap and known for strong performance.
