Lenovo K6 Note 32 GB with 4 GB RAM Specifications
Just like many other Chinese smartphone manufacturers, Lenovo too is witnessing a widespread popularity in India. The company is on a launching spree and is releasing mobile phones across different price ranges in rapid succession. In the year 2016 alone, the company launched a number of budget smartphones like Lenovo K6 Power, Lenovo K6, and Vibe K5 before launching K6 Note in September of 2016.
The company only wanted to sell the new release through offline channels, but the handset is now easily available online too. The phone has gone through heavy promotions in Tier I and Tier II cities in India where there is an increasing demand for budget phones with decent specifications. Apart from its 5.5-inches display, Qualcomm octa-core processor, fingerprint scanner, and a reasonable price tag, the company is also promoting the Dolby Atmos surround sound and TheaterMax virtual reality technology in the phone.
