Under the hood sits a Mediatek Helio P10 chipset paired with 2GB RAM, which was mid-range territory when this phone launched. Storage is 16GB, but the microSD slot stretches that up to 128GB if you need more room for photos and apps. The 5.5-inch display runs at full HD resolution with 401 ppi, sharp enough for everyday use, and it's built on LTPS IPS LCD tech rather than a budget panel.

The 13MP rear camera comes with phase detection autofocus and dual-LED flash, while the 8MP front camera handles selfies. A 3500mAh battery backs it all up, which should comfortably get you through a day of moderate use. Lenovo K5 Note price in Malaysia starts from RM639.

You also get a fingerprint sensor, NFC, dual-SIM support and LTE Cat4 connectivity, features that were solid additions for a phone in this price bracket back in early 2016. It ships with Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, in Silver or Gold.
