Design
In appearance, the Lenovo K9 is beautiful, stylish and contemporary. The body of the device is made of glass and metal, which is rare for budget models. On the front panel of the Lenovo K9, the bezels are non-small - both on the bottom and bottom. On this indicator, it is inferior to competitors. In recent times, at least a few devices with minimal bezels have appeared in a similar price range. Some of them even have a notch in the shape of a drop.

Display
The lack of innovation in the appearance of the Lenovo K9 is not reason enough not to check out the rest of the features. This Lenovo model won't feel like a shovel in your hand. It is comfortable to carry in a pocket. The diagonal of its display is modest - 5.7 inches. The resolution does not exceed the classic 1440 x 720 pixels.
The screen is good. Its size will appeal to users who want to see enough information, but have no pretensions to use the latest technological advances that are present in flagships.
Processor
The glass Lenovo K9 has a slight drawback and it can be found in the Mediatek Helio P22 processor. The chip itself is not bad, which was proven by the Xiaomi Redmi 6.

For everyday tasks, it is perfectly satisfactory.
The graphics is assigned to the PowerVR Ge8320. The RAM is 3 GB LPDDR3, and the internal memory is 32 GB, and the manufacturer has provided an option to expand the memory using a card.

The front camera is identical as a combination - 13 MP and 5 MP. It also supports shooting footage with bokeh effect. A bonus for selfie fans is the presence of a flash.
Autonomous operation
