Lenovo is mostly known for making good laptops which are famous for their unique design preferences. Lenovo has also been making mobile phones that are able to show the same design elements that are a trademark of their laptops. The Lenovo K5 Pro is similar to Lenovo K5 but with some upgrades and is a mobile phone that is in the entry level price range segment and is priced at around 13000 Rupees.
The Lenovo K5 Pro has a 5.99 inches of IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen that has a screen resolution of about 1080 x 2160 pixels with a pixel density of 403 ppi. The color reproduction is good but the pixel density is just able to keep up with the size of the display to not let the images pixelate. The sunlight reading is dim with the brightness turned down but can be easily fixed by turning the brightness up to full. The viewing angles are good and the images are sharp due to good ppi.
The cameras on the Lenovo devices are well optimized and take some good pictures. The Lenovo K5 Pro has a dual camera setup in the rear with a 16 MP lens that has an aperture size of f/2.0 and a second camera with a 5 MP lens with a depth sensor. The front camera is a 16 MP lens and a 5MP lens with depth sensor. The cameras take decent pictures in normal daylight conditions and suffer from some noise in artificial lighting conditions. The low light pictures are just okay and can be better if worked on with the hardware. Having dual cameras in both front and back helps in getting good pictures with decent bokeh effects in the selfies and subjects that have a variable background setting.
The Lenovo K5 Pro is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset with Octa-core 1.8 GHz Kryo 260 processors and Adreno 509 graphics chipset. The device runs on the Android v8.1 Oreo and is optimized to work properly with the hardware. The device has 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage and a 6GB RAM and 64/128GB of internal storage with a slot for a MicroSD card which supports up to 256GB.
The Lenovo K5 Pro has a 4050 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery and it is shipped with a normal charger. The device is able to sustain for a day and a half before running out of juice with average usage. It goes from 0-100 in about 2 hours with the help from the 18W fast charger.
The Lenovo K5 Pro comes in Black and Gold color variants.

PROS –
5.99 inch IPS LCD display.
Average screen to body ratio that is approximately 79.1%.
403 ppi pixel density.
Good Neat design
Camera Pictures are okay.
4050mAh battery.
CONS –
Low light camera pictures have noise in them and lack detail.
The Lenovo K5 Pro is a good device and isn’t expensive for the features it offers. Most other phones are available at the mid level segment and offer similar specifications.
The cameras take decent quality images. The colour reproduction is natural and crisp in normal lighting conditions, but the pictures suffer from noise in low light conditions and lack of detail can be seen.
The bigger RAM size and internal storage is a great help to those who want to install apps and just forget about them.
The device has a 4050mAh battery that lasts you for almost a day and a half which is good but the device takes about 2 hours to fully charge with the fast charger
The Lenovo K5 Pro is a device that is decently priced for the features it offers to the consumers and can be a decent investment for your money
