Lenovo K3 Note vs A7000: Specifications, Price, Comparison and Everything You Need to Know

On Thursday (25 June), Lenovo launched its feature-rich K3 Note phablet in India. The K3 Note is said to be an upgraded version of the company's A7000 series phablet.

To provide a better perspective on the Lenovo phablet siblings, we have briefly compared the key specifications of K3 Note and A7000.

Design and Display:

Both Lenovo A7000 and K3 Note flaunt the same design – 5.5-inch display having rectangular candybar body with curved corners. If the devices are placed next to each other, it will be difficult to differentiate between the two. Even the camera modules (back and front), power, volume-rocker placements are the same.

As for resolution, Lenovo K3 Note comes on top with a full HD screen, whereas the A7000 features HD display.

[Note: Many research studies have reportedly stated that the human eye cannot spot the difference in pixel density beyond HD (720x1280p), so we can be rest assured that anything beyond HD resolution is just a gimmick used by companies to sell their devices.]

Processor, RAM and Storage capacity:

In this aspect, K3 Note edges past the Lenovo A7000, thanks to faster CPU speed and larger storage space.

K3 Note houses a 64-bit class 1.7GHz Mediatek [MT6752] Octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) CPU backed by 2GB RAM and 16GB inbuilt memory with an option of expansion up to 321GB.
