Lenovo K3 is part of efforts by Lenovo to compete favourably well against rival Xiaomi whose smartphones are enjoying significant popularity despite having only been around for a few years. When the price of the Lenovo K3 is considered in the light of its features, one may be right to say Lenovo has started well in its effort to gain market share from its competitor.

Hardware & Software
The Lenovo K3, which is also known as K3 Music Lemon, perhaps, for its colour, sports a 5-inch IPS display with a HD resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and 294 ppi pixel density. It figures a relatively slim profile at 7.9mm. The main camera is one of 8 megapixels, while the front-facing camera is a 2-megapixel sensor.
Processing power is provided by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2GHz. There is also Adreno graphics support. The Lenovo K3 comes with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which can be extended with a microSD card. The low-cost smartphone, seemingly designed to compete directly with the popular Xiaomi Redmi 1S smartphone, will run on the Android 4.4 (KitKat).
The battery of 2300 mAh capacity provided on the device should be able to deliver enough juice needed to use the phone’s features. Users of the Lenovo K3 are also in for a great sound experience with the built-in Waves MaxxAudio feature. The device also supports 4G LTE connectivity.
Lenovo K3 is selling for around $130 (about N27,000)! This is a real bargain when you consider all the features of the Lenovo K3. For example, you may have to pay way more money for another Android device that supports LTE connectivity.
Lenovo K3 more than compensates well for other features that are not available on it when affordability is considered. The phone went on sale in China last December via JD, one of the largest e-commerce websites in the country.
Pricing & Availability
Lenovo K3 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in Nigeria. Lenovo K3 price in Nigeria is expected to range from N25,000 to N35,000 depending on your location in the country.
However, Lenovo K3 may never come to Nigeria, since current versions do not support WCDMA, which is the 3G technology used in Nigeria, rather it supports TD-SCDMA, which is mostly for China. However, Lenovo may offer an international version in future.
