The Lenovo K5 Play is another option in the ever exploding market for affordable smartphones. While many affordable smartphones offer Mediatek CPU, the K5 Play distinguishes itself with a Qualcomm processor and an impressive lineup of specs all at a price that is around $120. We got our hands on the black model and will be revealing our Lenovo K5 Play unboxing photos and videos here.
Coming in at a price of around $120 in Lenovo’s official store on AliExpress, the K5 Play seems like a great bargain considering that it boasts of an octa-core Qualcomm processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB built-in storage, and LTE.
But, don’t get carried away, the Lenovo K5 Play is still an entry-level smartphone. It will satisfy the needs of most people looking for entry-level to mid-range smartphones, but don’t expect too much.
