Lenovo K900
By Dheemon
Its a good phone from Lenovo. Build quality is very good and the UI is very nice. Just wished it was a little less expensive as you get phones with this configurations under 12-13 K now

Good phone, reasonably priced
By Siddharth Kanodiaon
Its a very good phone, both in features amd in looks. Even better was the competitive price offered by Snapdeal. Got the phone in perfectly packed condition and at the price aatleast 15% cheaper than the market or any other online retailer.
USED 1 YEAR CHANGED REVIEW 5 TO 1
By Mayankon
I wrote a review almost a year back when I bought it and used for a week, but to my dismay exactly as it crossed 1 months the PHONE CRASHED and seriously no NO real customer support outsourced to HCL and they are useless in support, I think It was a mistake buying K900, no support from Lenovo main reason, don't trust these now!
Amazing Phone/Tab/PC
By Prashanton
Its little bit of everything, not as big as tab but big, not as good as a laptop but does almost everything wot a laptop does.Though its big its too thin as well, holding in hand is no problem. Performance seems good and camera is amazing with crystal clear HD pics.
superb product...but horible service
By Ajon
product is above expectation...but service was pathetic.sugest to avoid using amazon and switch to flipkart for online shoping of goods

Pathetic experiance with lenovo
By Amazon Customeron
NEVER Buy lenovo mobile or any chineese mobile.My k900 stops workin exactly after 1 year.I have repaired by replacing its IC worth rs 200.Again my phone become dead after 2 months.Pathetic experiance with lenovo.I had written mail to its indian marketing head but he replied to visit nearest lenovo service centre to fix problem.So friends plz dont buy chinese mobile they are like toy made from ELECTRONICS KABAD.Buy mobiles of some Good compNIES EVEN THEY ARE COSTLIER LIKE panasonic,samsung,nokia after relaunch etc
Awesome phone at great price
By Mandeep Singh Braron
UPDATE: Deeply disappointed by Lenovo's software update policy. No updates for K900 beyond 4.2 which is ridiculous. I dont want to be installing Chinese Vibe ROMs on a phone i bought in English. Buy with this understanding that Lenovo did not support its phone even for 6 months after launch.
K900 is a good phone with great specs priced well below competition.
Build: The metallic look of the phone looks good and solid, but the bezel on the phone makes it look longish. However the metallic back did get scratches even from car plastics when kept at the edge. Didnt like that on a new phone. Ordering a flip case for that because the phone is slippery too. The buttons feel pretty solid, lot better than the nexus one and Note i have previously owned. The phone looks ok/good but i wouldnt say it matches or competes with HTC one/Blackberry latest say (though they are smaller and not comparable). Quality of accessories supplied is also way better than the ones that came with Samsung Note IMHO.
Display: I was having doubts about display quality before purchasing and after switching from Note 1. But this one is an awesome display. Bright, crisp and responsive. IMHO this one did a better job in outside sunlight visibility than the Note 1. Also compared it with amoled display of Toshiba excite tablet (which i believe was very good) and K900 was way brighter. Regarding crispness and resolution, this one looks great althought i never could find issues with lower resolution phones too. 5 stars for the display. Fonts for some of the things like The H at the top in the notification bar could have been handled better.
Power: Am not much into gaming. But the phone in general is very responsive in browsing, maps, general dialling etc. Reason for me selling the Note 1 was partly attributed to the very long time it used to take for opening the contacts. This one feels way more responsive in those tasks. Although the stock launcher i felt was a bit sluggish in some of the effects like cube rotate, it was good and responsive in others and so am using one of those. I tried Nova Launcher and that worked just great. However i switched back to the stock launcher because of some of the nice effects in the app tray etc. Other applications like email, Flipboard etc that i use more often work just great. Refreshes and Flipboard stories were opening faster than on my Note. The phone does get warm however after heavier long duration usage, but that happened on Note 1 too.
Camera: This one is a good camera with plenty of settings. The pictures i took in room in day light were pretty clear. Liked the panaroma mode in the camera. Havent used the camera very extensively as of now but after some usage i am positive about the companies claims about the camera. The front camera also gives a wider angle compared to my tablet as claimed. Lenovo has also customized the Gallery software which was to my liking.
Voice quality: Call quality is ok and audible, but not on the louder side i would say. I havent faced problems till now, but i liked the one on Note better. The ringtone loudness however is louder/better than Note.
Software: The phone comes with most of the required software along with Playstore (you dont need to root in the Indian model) and a few good widgets. Contrary to what i have read on a lot of reviews, I liked lot of customizations that Lenovo has done. App tray, launcher, time widget, icon customizations, Messaging customizations all felt good. Dialer was good, but look and feel of the dialer needs improvement. The ability to record conversations as you are talking and dialing is great. The launcher looks good after i changed the wallpaper and put a Galaxy S4 optimized wallpaper from playstore. But the Novo launcher definitely is much faster than the Lenovo default and was also much more responsive than the Samsung touchwiz in Note. I didnt like the icons and color scheme of the dialer and settings screen and also missed the swipe to call gesture of Note in the dialer. Chrome which comes installed by default along with Android browser worked great and i believe i would be using it as the default.
EDIT: Rooted this phone. It was so damn easy Just download the ROM to sdfuse folder in the phone and sdupdate. Installed the font to read Punjabi.
Battery life: Battery life in the 4 days of my usage felt good. They have done lot of optimizations i believe to enhance battery. This is no scientific statement, but based on observations of pending battery at various times of the day, i believe it would have outlasted the Note 1. Battery app is very good. Liked the usage representation by hardware and software.
At the end, its the price which makes it a very attractive buy. I did not consider Note 2 because i didnt like its display over Note 1 that i was owning. Also in my small check at the store, i felt a perceivable delay in opening contacts like the Note 1.

Buddy...the camera is the most advanced you will find in any mobile. the aperture size is the highest and low lights shots are the best . Its a sony camera ...cannot be ordinary by any standards . watched expert reviews worldwide for this phone . suggest you watch them too
Amazing phone at this price!
By Aviralon
I bought this phone from flipkart. Had been using it for 2 weeks now and here's how I feel.
Display & Looks - The display is crisp and clear. At 400+ppi its one of the best you can get. Though the sunlight legibility is not up to the mark. Looks wise this phone is a stunner. Whenever I take it out of my pocket it becomes a head turner.
PS- The phone fits easily in my pocket.
Performance & UI - The phone does all my daily tasks effortlessly. It runs almost all the applications. The UI is great and its got a ton of customization options. I bet you'll never get boared of it. The only issue is that the lenovo UI takes a lot of RAM (around 800mb). But, there are plenty of launchers available to chose from the play store.
Camera - I have no issues with the camera. Its not the best, but is up to the mark as lenovo guaranteed. The back 13mp camera provides works great in daylight and takes nice low-light images (better than most of the phones in the market!). Those saying about the poor quality of the camera must consider that the phone has 1080p (2mp) screen. So, you wont get to zoom-in the picture as much as you do on a phone with 720p or WVGA screen!! There are a lot of in-camera effects to chose from. For some effects the resolution is reduced to 5-6mp. In my opinion the camera is perfect for casual photographers and for those who want to upload pictures on Fb, twitter, etc. The front camera is really a wide angled one as Lenovo said. The only problem i faced with the camera is that it takes a while to autofocus. The phone also heats a bit while using the supercamera app.
Memory - The phones got 16gb internal memory out of which around 11.5gb is available. There is no expansion slot. This sucks especially if you are a music and gaming freak like me :( . I had to compromise a lot on my music collection! Out of the 2gb RAM around 1.1gb is available if you use the lenovo stock UI. I also tried the USB OTG functionality. It works great with my pendrive but, unfortunately it dosen't support my seagate ExternalHDD.
Audio Quality - The audio output is crisp and the sounds are perfectly produced. The headphones supplied with the phone are of somewhat low-quality. But, most of the music lovers like me already own a good pair of headphones, so, its not a problem with me. The phone works perfectly with my Monster Purity headset :)
Gaming - The phone packs an intel 2ghz clovertrali+ dual-core processor with hyperthreading along with a 1080p display which make it sound almost perfect for any gamer out there. I've played a lot of games on my phone. Games like Subway surf, Temple Run, Dispicable Me Ran effortlessly. N.O.V.A 3 also ran flawlessly. While playing GANGSTAR Vegas it shows lag at high and very high graphic settings. But, it runs without a lag on medium graphic settings. Some of the games are not optimised for intel processors. RR3 dosent work properly and crashes after sometime.
There is a heating problem (due to the metallic back casing) but, that dosent bother me!
Benchmarks - the phone scores 5900 on quadrant, 21.5k on antutu( updated version), 59fps on epic citadel, 8.7fps and 31fps in glbench T-rex and Egypt respectively.
Video Playback & Web browsing - The phone played every video codec I tried to play. The playback quality is one of the best among all the smartphones. I usually rely on wifi connection have no issues with web browsing.
Battery - The phone comes with Lenovo power manager which is an amazing feature. The battery lasts me almost a day on normal usage which include abt 2hrs of music playback, 1/2-1 hour of gaming, 1/2 hour of web surfing and 10-20 min of calls. The battery drains quite fast while doing heavy tasks such as gaming. The phone also heats a bit while charging.
Bottom Line - The phone is an amazing package at an astonishing price. Lack of nfc and 4g isn't an issue in India. The phone easily fits in the price category of 30-35k. At 28k its a steal. I believe Lenovo should focus more on advertising rather than dropping its price. If the Non-Expandable memory and a big screen dosen't bother you, than this phone is perfect for just about anybody.
PCB gets faulty, due to over heating
By Majid Khanon
Bad phone, They made the phone slim, however could not solve the heating issue and are not able to provide service for this phone. They change the same within warranty and quote an amount of Rs. 12,500/- for repairing PCB of mobile (Out of warranty cases) as they know customer will not spend such a high amount on repairs and that too with.
I visited Service Center many times and found many dissatisfied customers of K900.
Buy only if you have time to visit Service Center repeatedly.
Flipkart should seriously think of allowing negative rating for such products.
Buyers review for K900
By JKon
Screen: Large (5.5 inch), Bright (LCD), Very clear 401ppi (no pixels visible). Buy if you priority is screen clarity.
Memory: Not great since u get only 11gb of free space. Wait for a few months since there might be a version available in future with expandable memory slot.
Multi-tasking: handles with out any hiccups. Absolutely no issues with it.
Battery: @2500 Mah its not all that great..but lasts for an entire day... could be a little better. If you guys can postpone buying a phone for another 7-10 months then do that since they might launch with a super large battery (3100 Mah+)
OS: Android 4.2.1 is super smooth and Lenovo has added their custom UI which is good as well. You wont feel bored and wont need to download any launchers to change the appearance of the UI. In short Lenovo UI is self content.
Camera: @13MP Sony Exmor lens.... Simply amazing...although its quite difficult to understand some of the settings for a person who is not into photography. A hard-ware button could have been good but its missing :(
Browser: Lenovo has customised Chrome for general usage...pretty decent but i still love Opera just coz its super fast.. :)
GPU: not promising...but does what it is made for...and plays all games effortlessly...Once the new update is out, this issue will be solved..!
Touch response: Super awesome and super sensitive since you can use ur nails too for navigation. No phone in the market has this feature. Stylus/Pen can also be used on this device.
Speaker: super loud and crisp. Wont miss a phone from family or friends :)
Phone Heating: Heats a little bit while playing games, surfing web or charging..but then its back to normal. This is the case with all major smart phones but Samsung is smart to put a Plastic cover which shields the heat..And Metal gets heated pretty quickly but do we care if we get looks like this one :)
Look & Feel: definitely the best phone one would wish to hold in hand. Feels extremely premium with metal all over (back). Frankly speaking there is no phone in the league which can be compared to this phone when it comes to the built quality. the closest competition i think is the Iphone 5, period! Also at 6.9mm it is super slim and slips easily in pocket..never feels heavy since Lenovo was able to keep the weight down of the phone even with the steel back cover. No LED notification which is a big drawback.
Lenovo Brand image: currently number 1 in Chinese market.. the place where 90% of all smart phones are manufactured. So Lenovo should be considered as the old player but new entrant in the Indian market. Lenovo- you are making your presence felt with this one.
Single hand use: should be a problem since the phone is a little longer (longer then even Note 2)
I give a 4.6 star rating since there are no phones in the market with such distinct qualities (Screen Size + clarity of 400+ppi, Built quality, Processor speed, Camera, Speaker, Simple yet interesting UI) Could have given a full 5 start if it had LED notification light and bundled with a Flip case since it is super difficult to buy one in the local market or online store :(
