I think the biggest question we all want to know is why are you using Vista?

Does it come with a 7 year warranty?

I'm not believing it's 6GB surely would be 8GB or 16GB.

I'm more interested about whether it is really Marshmallow and more so the NFC.

Will order later I think, give it a shot should be here Thursday.

Will update here with a model number and confirming specs.

Think it's this...

All good, I passed it onto my 10 yr old son for no reason other than I got the wife's Galaxy S6 when she upgraded to an S7.
He was running on a Lumia 520 so Android is an upgrade, he has a Nexus tab he has barely touched he uses the phone for everything instead.

I've found the IR blaster invaluable and wouldn't go without one now that most manufacturers are pushing them out lol!

​Its the K5 Vibe the specs are all wrong on the website.
Just received mine and it's model A6020a40 same as the one I already own :disappointed:

expired as incorrect product.

Just to confirm cpw have the specs completley wrong, the box says K5.

Edit sat 14:00h : I opened the box up as I decided to keep it, it comes with a case and screen protector inside. The website chose silver for me when I clicked charcoal but on opening up, even the the box has the white version pictured it was black, so happy with that.

It came with android 5.1.1 but is doing some sort of system update right now, so waiting to see if it upgrades android (doubght it).

Also could people please click expire seeing as CPW posted a load of crap about the specs.

CPW are happy for me to return the phone, however they expect me to pay for its return by post or go to a store.

Just raised a complaint on the web form on their website, I'm not prepared to go 4 miles and queue in a store or pay £4-£8 for delivery to them.

Much disappointed, they messed up the spec!

Even the box shows the correct specs unlike the website...
Specs
Model Number
Not at all happy, got to return it now..

Does the CPW webpage ever show the images for the device or the price?

My nipper has MM on his LG G2 and it's pretty smooth and rapid. the thing that always lets these type off devices down is the camera. You can be pretty sure it will not be as good as the G2's.
As for Android N dev support on the G2, they are on it already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-aosp-caf-t3454629

Decided to go for it and ordered one today. Wanted the black one and the stupid website change it to looks like I'm getting white/silver. Also ordered a case and screen protector off eBay.

If this has NFC I am tempted but I have doubts. Unless it is made for cpw exclusively as it looks like k5 plus apart from NFC

I think he meant non-Chinese sourced phones, that are readily available to buy in the UK from regular stores & meant for UK users.

Personally if I had £150-£200 to spend on a non-chinese phone that was smaller than 5.5" (too big for my small hands!), I would go for the Huawei P9 lite. Fantastic for the price, and excellent screen.

I've an LG G2 is this a good upgrade?

Only Issue with talk mobile is no 4g, which is why I can't switch, would miss my 4g

Totally agree - I have a Z1, nice camera, does what I need it too, I think another year and budget phones may be worth changing to (I won mine, before that I was always at the budget end) My tesco sim only deal is £7 a month with £3 xtras app rebate, meaning my total cost £4 a month, 500 minutes, 1gb and 5000 texts.

If this is a rebranded K5 Plus then there's a chance it won't have NFC. GSMArena have a review on the K5 Plus and they state it doesn't have NFC. All the other specs seem to match this including screen size/resolution and battery size.

I currently have the Xperia Z2 and am no longer in a contract (with EE). I'd like to get another smartphone, about the same size screen as the Xperia Z2 with a pretty decent camera (think I currently have 20 meg.p). However, I'm trying to reduce my monthly direct debits, so would be quite happy to have a cheaper smartphone - currently paying around £28 a month for 500 MB, unlimited texts and minutes. I would definitely need a minimum of 1GB as I have run out of space, but would want to pay around, say, £25 a month - can anybody recommend a smartphone please that fits this bill?

Oh! Don't overlook the lack of Gyro & Compass too.

EE won't unlock the phone, you'll have to pay EE for a code or get one from eBay for 10-12 quid.
If you keep your Z2 you don't need to do anything - just swap the SIM and all your other info on your phone will remain.
If you decide to go for another phone, the apps and Contacts will get migrated when you use your same gmail address to sign in to the new phone. As far as photos and the like, you should back them up. That can be done using Google Drive, through the Google Photos app which will back all your pics for free to Google's Cloud. Otherwise, get a memory card and copy all the pics over to that. pop that in your new phone and your good to go.
The above a short summary of what you'll need to do. Feel free to PM me if you need any more info

Thank you for the advice. My two-year contract is up with EE but I still have to give them 30 day's notice to leave. Do you know if EE unlock the phones when the two-year contract is up, or, do I have to pay EE to do this? If I change over to say, this deal that you have mentioned, what about all my apps, photos, contacts, etc, on my current phone - will 3 transfer all of the data over free of charge, or will I have to load all of my apps, etc, again? Thank you.

If you guys can stretch your budget then the Lenovo Zuk Z2 at £200 is definitely the best 5" flagship specd phone.

Once I'm home Thursday, assuming the Mrs is in for the parcel I'll boot up an go straight to the model number in the software and see what it purports to be.
TBH if it doesn't have NFC and no notification light its going back as it's the only differences that would annoy me the most.

Does it come with a 7 year warranty?

I think CPW might have the spec wrong, I'm pretty sure that this is Lollipop not Marshmallow - there are lots of threads on Lenovo's forums e.g.: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/K-and-Vibe-Z-Series-Smartphones/Marshmallow-update-for-lenovo-vibe-k5-plus/td-p/3306576

Still this looks like a good Dual Sim, LTE + LTE, (Dual Standby) + microSD card phone with NFC. Just missing a fingerprint sensor & LED notification to keep everyone happy!

heat added fr marshmallow which is hard to find in this price range

Specs seem fairly similar to my galaxy s4 I think? Apart from having a more up to date OS. Nice phone tho.

Does it have a notification light?

I will get there in the end lol

Looks nice!
Good specs for a 5 inches
I've got used to 5.5 on Moto g4 now but would like to see the Kia in action

And NFC for all the NFC must have crew!!!!

I think the biggest question we all want to know is why are you using Vista?

Can you use Android Pay with NFC but without a finger print reader?

Well NFC would be good, I'm not convinced but I've ordered and will report back thursday night on my findings!

would be very interested in comments from those who have used this!

No, I was replying to rantantan who asked how it compares to the Moto G4.


I don't think so. I'm willing to bet the camera, screen and battery life (although your battery is probably pretty old by now) on the G2 is better, performance might be a tiny bit better on the Kia but I don't think it would be noticeable. Only pro's of this Lenovo Kia would be having Marshmallow and most likely an upgrade to Nougat, unless you're willing to flash custom ROM's to get Marshmallow on your G2.

Just an opinion of course.

Any reviews on this?

Under 'Overview' on the CPW website, it does state the storage as 'Available in 16GB'

They are talking about the Lenovo Moto G4, not the LG G4.

Lenovo K6 will be available later this month and the K6 Power will launch in October.

I actually contacted CPW and Lenovo about this handset the other day, according to Geek Squad the specs are correct on the CPW website (for some reason Lenovo don't even have them) and it's a CPW web exclusive which is why you won't find any info on it elsewhere. I also went into a store to ask about it and they had no idea what it was.

It's tempting, the only sticky point being the 6GB of Internal Storage, unless they did actually write that wrong and it's 16GB.

Edit: I agree with Billythekid116, the specs match up with the K5 Plus, so the 6GB storage is probably a typo on CPW.

@ rantantan: The G4 is bigger (11mm taller, 5.6mm wider, 1.8mm thicker and 13g heavier), it has the Snapdragon 617 chipset compared to the 616 the Kia has, the clock speeds are listed as the same, so I guess it's just some sort of newer revision and it has a bigger battery with fast charging capability (although you have to buy a Turbo Charger seperately). I expect both will get updated to Nougat although I reckon the G4 will get priority. G4 is around £20-40 more expensive depending on the deal.

Thanks for commenting guys. I havent bought it yet but really tempted. Was debating on the Moto G 3rd gen 2gb version from Amazon for £119.99 but it says 1-2 month wait- which probably means permanently out of stock.

If this is a rebranded K5, they definitely do come with 16gb memory. Must admit I am tempted by this.

I've read full spec on CPW and compared to GSMarena it's definitely Lenovo Vibe K5 plus with 5inch Full HD screen, Octacore Snapdragon 616, 2GB Ram, 16GB internal storage 13MP and 5MP cameras Stereo Speakers Battery 2750mAh and Marshmallow. If you don't mind future Android updates it's very good alternative for Moto G series, especially it's cheaper, has NFC, and smaller with 5inch Full HD screen. I've had a Moto X Play with 5.5 inch. After one week I gave up because not handy size at all and exchanged for Galaxy A3 2016 (£150 at Cex) - excellent compact from Samsung with better battery life than Xperia Z3 compact (I had one)

I'm not believing it's 6GB surely would be 8GB or 16GB.

I'm more interested about whether it is really Marshmallow and more so the NFC.

Will order later I think, give it a shot should be here Thursday.

Will update here with a model number and confirming specs.

Think it's this...
http://m.gsmarena.com/lenovo_vibe_k5_plus-7947.php

how does it compare to moto g4?

But what I'm trying to say I think it's a totally different phone to the one on here.

I think it was prime day. I used the audible £10 credit to get it for £85

Its was £94.99 on amazon a few months back

its a Lenovo k5
http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/smartphones/lenovo/lenovo-k5/

k5 is a 720p screen, this is a 1080p screen? unless I have read the specs wrongly....so there may be other differences, either way, it's not a k5...
also quad 1.5 and quad 1.2 v k5's quad 1.4. that's right yeah?

This is Marshmallow with NFC, it also has a better display and faster processor so either the specs are wrong or it isn't a K5 which I own and would actually buy this as an upgrade

I just did a quick search for the lenovo K5 spec & best price... came up with £99.95 at Argos but when I went on Argos site came up at £129.99. Strange that
