Lenovo K13 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Lenovo K13 Pro - point improvements

Although the Chinese company Lenovo is not as popular in Europe and the CIS as several years ago, the experience of its employees and an impressive budget allow the corporation to at least potentially think about leadership positions. So, smartphones of the middle price segment from this manufacturer over the past couple of years have seriously added in functionality and design. The hero of today's review has become even better than its predecessors, but the changes can hardly be called cardinal.

The appearance is now even more relevant thanks to the modified block of four photomodules and more original body colors. Sadly, the polycarbonate back panel, antiquated fingerprint sensor layout and 16MP front-facing camera have not disappeared from the exterior. The 6.8-inch IPS display still has a modest HD + resolution, which makes the picture look frizzy and blurry small fonts. But in terms of brightness and contrast, the image has improved, and the refresh rate of 90 hertz is in favor of the smoothness of the displayed content. An oleophobic coating is present, but its effectiveness is low.

The technical characteristics are the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor, 6GB of RAM and the Adreno 610 graphics adapter. This is an excellent combination for a low-mid-priced device that provides a balance between performance and energy efficiency. If we consider the Android 11 interface and not particularly resource-intensive applications like messengers and browsers, then the CPU copes with them with dignity, there is an opportunity to try out many demanding games. The only exceptions will be projects such as Genshin Impact or Fortnite. Their smooth performance is the privilege of flagships. On a 5000mAh battery, an Android smartphone lasts about 10-11 hours of active screen time. There are no problems with the volume of ROM, which has reached 64 / 128GB with a slot for MicroSD cards .

The main 64-, 8- and 2-megapixel (pair) photosensors will appeal to budget-conscious photographers. The modules succeed in daytime photography in terms of color reproduction and detail, the gadget has not so many competitors, given its price tag. With evening photo shoots, the situation is worse due to the weak noise reduction system, and the number of details is reduced. Fans of contactless payments will appreciate the NFC support. As a result, we have before us an extremely interesting device, the disadvantages of which are more than justified by an impressive list of competitive advantages. But it is hardly necessary to change the past models of the brand for a new product.
