[table id=295 /]
Question- How is Design and Build Quality?
Answer- The new K4 Note looks and feels great in hand. Front is made out of glass, where the back cover is made up of polycarbonate. Sides are curved and have solid metal frame which runs around the phone and makes it feel solid. It has thin bezels on the sides and on the top and bottom as well. It is a good looking phone overall, with no extra bulk. The only thing is that the back and front attract fingerprints pretty easily which can be seen in the pictures as well. For this price, I would say Lenovo has done a fair job overall.
