Lenovo K9 – Another Lenovo MediaTek Budget Smartphone With Four Cameras

Lenovo’s not just in the season of releasing smartphones, it’s in the season of launching smartphones with four cameras. Lenovo S5 Pro and Lenovo K5 Pro are smartphones that just got unveiled with quad shooters in their specifications. Lenovo K9 is the latest to add to that list.

However, drifting away from the Snapdragon chipset found in those phones, Lenovo K9 settles down with MediaTek MT6762 Helio P22. The chipset runs on the 12nm process technology and carries octa-core 2.0GHz ARM Cortex-A53 in its bag of tricks. As a means of controlling the phone’s graphics, the chipset bags PowerVR GE8320.

That’s a bit of what the device entails; let’s now check it out more closely.

Lenovo K9 Quick Review

Straight up, we’ll be looking at the camera setups present on the device. At the back region, the phone’s dual cam setup consists of a 13MP camera with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF. Also in this setup, there’s a 5MP depth sensor that handles the isolation of background in order to yield the bokeh pictures.

These exact qualities are present in the phone’s front camera department; a 13MP main camera and 5MP secondary lens. It is well supported by a LED flash which conditions the lighting atmosphere in dark regions. Not forgetting, a dual-tone dual LED flash is available at the rear region for the same function.

A 3GB LPDDR3 RAM sits behind the wheel to smoothen the multitasking effect of apps on this device. Alongside the RAM in the memory unit is the 32GB internal storage. This ROM can be expanded to 256GB using the MicroSD card slot that also plays the role of the SIM 2 slot.

Other salient features include 5.7-inch HD+ IPS touchscreen, Bluetooth 4.1, USB Type-C, USB On-The-Go, Fast charging 3,000mAh battery and Android 8.1 Oreo.
