Points in favor of Lenovo K3 Note

Full HD DisplayBetter CameraMore 16 GB Native storage

Display and Processor

Both phones occupy the same footprint, but K3 Note has a sharper full HD 1080P display compared to the 720p HD display used on A7000. The difference is noticeable when you place both handsets side by side, but again first time users won’t be disappointed with either of the two. Processor sees a slight upgrade too. The Lenovo A7000 includes MT6752M and the K3 Note is powered by MT6752. Both have 8 Cortex A53 cores, but the chip in K3 Note has a higher clock frequency, but it has to do more work too pushing all those extra pixels.

Camera and Internal Storage

Both the rear camera and internal storage see significant improvement with K3 Note. 8 GB in A7000, with 4 GB available at user end, cast aspersion on long term performance durability, even though apps and other data could be transferred to SD card to an extent. Besides most consumers asks for a ‘13 MP’ camera in this budget as most rivals like Yureka and Redmi Note 4G already offer those specs. K3 Note increases the Megapixel count, but also the camera performance with a 13 MP Ombivision large size sensor and wide aperture lens on top.

Battery and Other Features

Battery capacities are again similar. Lenovo A7000 includes a 2900 mAh power unit, while K3 Note packs in extra 100 mAh, to offset higher clock frequency and full HD resolution. Lenovo assures that you can fly through one day of moderate usage on both handsets comfortably. Software and connectivity options on both handsets remain similar too. There is Android 5.0 Lollipop to cherish and since Lenovo is pretty good with software updates, you can be assured that performance glitches and bugs, if any, will be eliminated with time. Both phones have exactly same design.

Conclusion

Lenovo K3 Note is what Lenovo A7000 should have been in the first place. What A7000 owners are missing on is 16 GB native storage and a better camera. Having said that, both phones are very capable and offer great value for your money
