Apps launched rapidly. There is usually 1 GB memory left while using the device. During the review, we did not complain about the system performance. There was also no complaint about the phone being overwhelming.
Lenovo’s 6 power display is excellent for entertainment. This is the best handset for watching videos and playing games. The dual speakers on the back part give a suitable sound for a small room. Audio quality is also good. The phone supports Daelbee Atmus with the help of which you will be able to change audio settings. However, the quality of earphones given with the phone was very poor.

Our decision
Lenovo’s 6 power of Rs 9,999 comes with several trusted features. We will praise Lenovo for focusing on small nuances. The metal body gives a feeling of premium and the fingerprint scanner is like a bonus. The vibe was very smooth during the UI review. Snapdragon 430 processor is fully capable of daily use. However, given the challenge, Lenovo’s 6 power camera is a bit weak. This will disappoint many people. There is no doubt that battery life and display are the best features of phones.
You will find many popular smartphones for Rs 10,000. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see how 6 power of Lenovo will be able to challenge. As an alternative, Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime can be considered, if the camera is important for you and MIUI is more liked by Vibe UI.
