Lenovo K5 Note vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 3: Spot the difference
Xiaomi NewsWednesday, 13 January 2016 at 06:12
Xiaomi's Redmi Note 3 is a mighty fine phone for the money, but it seems as though buyers (in China at least) are going to be spoilt for choices as Lenovo preps a similar phone.
Calling the upcoming K5 Note that just leaked online 'similar' to the Redmi Note 3 would be an understatement. In more ways than one, the K5 Note is a clone of the Redmi Note 3. When the phone does see a launch, it won't be the first time that Lenovo would be launching a clone.
For the record, Lenovo are also working on the release of a clone of the recently-launched Redmi 3.
Nonetheless, let's take a look at how the Redmi Note 3 and the Lenovo K5 Note differ. Regardless of how small the differences be...
Xiaomi Redmi Note vs Lenovo K5 Note
Rear of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3
Let's start with the specifications. First, the Redmi Note 3... here's what it comes with:
- 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p FHD display
- 2GHz octa-core processor
- 2GB/3GB RAM
- 16GB/32GB ROM, non-expandable
- 13 mega-pixel PDAF rear camera
- 5 mega-pixel front facing camera
- 4000mAh battery

And now, let's take a look at the specs of the K5 Note:
- 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p FHD display
- 1.8GHz octa-core processor
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB ROM, expandable
- 13 mega-pixel rear camera
- 8 mega-pixel front facing camera
- 3500mAh battery
The Redmi Note 3 does look like the more powerful phone on paper with a higher clocked CPU, more RAM (there could be a 3GB version of the K5 Note too, but there's no info around it yet), and a larger capacity battery.
What the spec table doesn't tell you is how blatant Lenovo have been in copying the Redmi Note 3 design, and which is something you can make out from the pictures above. The K5 Note has the same:
- camera placement
- fingerprint sensor placement
- speaker placement
- cuts along the chassis
That said, it could be the 2GB RAM version of the Redmi Note 3 that the K5 Note could challenge with perhaps a cheaper price.
