Lenovo K14 Plus Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Lenovo K14 Plus - little things decide everything

It is sometimes surprising how one flaw in a product can destroy all of its competitive advantages. The Chinese company Lenovo definitely tried to produce the hero of today's review, but in pursuit of a balance of its technical characteristics and other parameters, the developer completely forgot about such an important new feature as NFC contactless payments.

It is such a significant defect that does not allow other virtues to win the hearts of people. So, the appearance of the device turned out to be more than attractive. You can positively evaluate the triple camera unit, and the ribbed texture of the back panel, and the 8-megapixel selfie camera in the IPS display. Of course, the flagship exterior is out of the question due to the rather thick screen bezels, the plastic case and the location of the fingerprint sensor at the back. The 6.5-inch IPS panel is hard to shower with compliments. A resolution of 1600x720 pixels is not enough for good image clarity, so small fonts seem blurry. The margin of brightness is average, using an Android smartphone indoors is comfortable, but in direct sunlight, the visibility of the image is reduced to zero. But the manufacturer has not forgotten about the newfangled OGS-screen refresh rate of 90Hz .

The installed chipset will help the user not to be left without many modern games and avoid annoying Android 11 lags . . The power efficiency of the processor is unquestionable, which helps the impressive 5000mAh battery to hit the mark of ten hours of screen time. Of course, the economical OGS-display also plays to the benefit of autonomy. If a couple of years ago 64GB of ROM was installed almost in flagships, today this amount of internal memory may not be enough. That is why the slot for MicroSD cards is left in the device.

48 and 2-megapixel photomodules try to preserve the detail and reproduction of colors in daytime shots, thanks to which they already outperform many opponents in the price category. But everything described collapses when the lighting deteriorates. In the evening, even an experienced mobile photographer will find it difficult to create photos without noise and an abundance of blurry details. There is no stereo sound, the volume of the only speaker is not at all record-breaking, sometimes it is quite possible not to listen to calls. As a result, we have not the worst, but simply a standard gadget for the value segment, with too many alternatives.
