Lenovo K4 Note
Lenovo on
Thursday announced that it sold 500,000 units of the Vibe K4 Note smartphone
that went on sale in India on January. Apart from the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note,
the company also revealed that it sold 100,000 units of the Ant virtual reality
(VR) headsets that were also individually available via Amazon priced at Rs.
1,299.
The
number of Vibe K4 Note units sold is interesting considering that the company
in February said that it had sold 180,000 units of the smartphone since launch
in January. This means that the company sold more than 300,000 units of the
Vibe K4 Note in less than three months. At launch in January, the Vibe K4 Note
bundle with Ant VR virtual reality headset was priced at Rs. 13,299. Lenovo
back in February made the Vibe K4 Note available in general sale, i.e., without
registrations.
The
company to mark the milestone is bringing back the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note and Ant
VR headset bundle which will be available at Rs. 12,499. As before, the Vibe K4
Note and Ant VR headset will go on sale via Amazon. Lenovo confirmed that the
Vibe K4 Note and Ant VR headset bundle will be available starting Friday.
The
biggest highlight of the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note is it comes with a feature called
TheaterMax which can convert regular content to its immersive VR counterpart.
Powered by Lenovo Virtual Reality (VR) technology, the idea is to give users a
virtually large screen cinematic experience.
Under the
Rs 15,000 price range, Lenovo’s K4 Note is among the most competitive smartphones available
today, and our first impressions were largely positive. Lenovo has also managed
to achieve this milestone among stiff competition from the likes of the Xiaomi
Redmi Note 3 and the LeEco Le 1s among others.
Lenovo
has announced this achievement around the time IDC has said that it is no
longer among the top-five smartphone companies in the world. While Samsung,
Apple and Huawei lead the charts, the likes of Vivo and OPPO have leapfrogged
Lenovo and Xiaomi to be a part of this esteemed list.
