In a press event in New Delhi, Lenovo launched the Vibe K5 Plus in India. The Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus was unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2016 last month, and is essentially the international variant of the Lemon 3, which made its debut in China earlier this year.
At just 8.2mm thin, the K5 Plus weighs only 142 grams. On the software side, Lenovo continues to streamline its interface, and there really aren’t many functional changes from stock Android. The only problem here is that we’re looking at Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Like recent Lenovo smartphones such as the K4 Note and Vibe X3, the dual-SIM Vibe K5 Plus comes with Dolby Atmos support and packs in TheatreMax technology for a virtual cinematic experience.
