Check out the Lenovo Vibe K5 specifications.
The factor about the display resolution is quite important as some would prefer having a Full HD display but that comes at a cost, and if for a 5-inch display you are okay with a 720p display. The Snapdragon 616 processor is known to do quite well with the performance but if the CPUs are at question, the Snapdragon 415 is not very different from the SD616.
Which is the better deal?
Not so hard here, because what you pay is what you get. If you have a strict budget of Rs. 7000, you know the Lenovo Vibe K5 is a good one, and for someone okay with paying an amount higher and need a better deal, the Vibe K5 Plus with a Full HD display is the choice. It would be interesting to see how these phones compete against the Swipe Elite Plus, Coolpad Note 3 Lite, etc.
