Which is the better phone? Lenovo K5 Note or Moto G4 Plus?
Motorola and Lenovo are no competitors to each other, but as a customer, you should be looking out at what the phones offer. The Moto G4 Plus surely should be a better one when it comes to performance. But on the other side, the fingerprint scanner looks weird on the front and it seems better to have one on the back, which is the case with the Lenovo K5 Note.
On the other side, the Lenovo K5 Note doesn’t win with the rear camera but should be a choice for selfie lovers. The battery capacity of Lenovo K5 Note is higher at 3500 mAh while compared to the 3000 mAh one on Moto G4 Plus.
Having said that, you can expect Motorola Moto G4 Plus to receive regular Android updates but that won’t happen to the K5 Note.
