The Lenovo K13 Note seems to takes over from the Lenovo K12, offering what can be termed as Lenovo’s version for a successor to the former. However, the upgrades proffered by the Lenovo K13 aren’t really substantial, which is due to the presence of a plethora of reminisces from the K12, as users making an upgrade will have just higher storage, a slightly improved camera system, and a chassis makeover as consolation.

Design and Display
Design-wise, we have a chassis that’s far-fetched from what we had on the K12. The Lenovo K13 Note offers a design that appears to be more modern.
Taking off with what’s on the rear. We have a design cue characterized by a gradient system. On it, you will find a square camera module with four cameras and an LED flash. We also have a capacitive fingerprint sensor and the Lenovo branding, which indicates it’s a Lenovo smartphone.
Moving up front, we have a similar setup coming from the K12. Here we have a 6.5-inches IPS LCD with a drop notch bearing its front camera. This display has a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a density of approximately 270 PPI.
Enthusiats that decide to purchase this Android phone, will have two colour options that include Aurora Gray, Pearl Sakura.
The Cameras
Lenovo amped the rear camera setup a bit, adding an ultrawide and a macro camera, making it a quad setup, as opposed to the dual-camera setup on its predecessor.
This rear camera setup comprises a 48MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.7, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth camera both with an aperture of f/2.4.
Lastly, we have an 8MP camera with an aperture of f/2.2 and a 118˚ field of view. Video recording on this setup is capped at 1080p @ 30fps.

On the performance side of the Lenovo K13, we have got the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor, the same Adreno 610 GPU, the same 4GB RAM and the same 5000mAh battery as seen on the Lenovo K12.
The difference here is in the storage capacity. Here we have 128GB built-in storage, as opposed to the 64GB storage on the former.
On the software side, the Lenovo K13 runs its interface on top of the Android 11 operating system.
