So which one wins?
On the face of it, the Lenovo K6 Power has a better full HD display, along with an 8MP front camera. The VR and 360-degree viewing support with TheatreMax also look like an extra point in the phone’s favour. But it is more expensive than the Redmi 3S at Rs 9,999, and in this price band, it can make a big difference for a consumer.
For now, Lenovo is the number two smartphone vendor in India, with a little over 9 per cent market share, according to the latest numbers from research firm International Data Corporation (IDC). There’s no doubt that the K6 Power with its extra battery life and better display get the interest of that shopping for a new phone online.
