Editorial report
Lenovo K12 technical sheet
The Lenovo K12 suits basic everyday use for someone who values battery capacity and can live with a low-resolution display. Its 6.5-inch IPS LCD has 720 px vertical resolution and 270 ppi, below most phones launched around the same time. The display is among the weakest of phones from that period.
Its 5,000 mAh battery offers more capacity than most phones launched around the same time, while 10 W charging is slower than on most. Performance is worse than most as well: its 138,156-point AnTuTu v8 result is below average. This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, with room to expand storage using a memory card.
The camera is below average overall, although its f/1.7 aperture is among the brightest on phones from the same time. The 48 MP rear camera has no optical image stabilization. For everyday essentials, the phone includes dual SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio. It runs Android 10 but has no Google Services, a consideration for app access. With a NeoScore of 4.2, the Lenovo K12 is a straightforward option for those who put battery capacity and expandable storage ahead of display detail, performance and Google Services.
