Ordered Lenovo K3 note yesterday, but my friends are saying it has major heating problems, heats up to 50C…also many reviews in flipkart saying the same..should i cancel my order? But some online reviews are saying that the heating issue is fixed after OTA updates..should i believe that?? I am really worried now.. Help me anyone.. it’s already shipped.. https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_confused.gif https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_confused.gif

No.. I am not a deep core gamer of any kind… according to use it is going to be
1. Internet(wifi mainly)
2. ebook reading
3. Movies and music
4. Camera
5. light gaming

With power full processor heating problem is every where.. I am using k3 and believe me the full HD screen is more then awesome. Performance is excellent. Go with ur eyes blind… Even galaxy s6 and high end mobiles having octacore processor has heating issue.

There is no sound problem man… Just go for it. And remember the truth any thing in this world is not 100% perfect. Even the iPhone is not 100% perfect.

Looking at your 4 points of usage above, I recommend you going ahead with ur purchase. I bought this in 2nd flipkart sale in March/April and am using it since. Yes, I heats up a bit on prolonged usage on wifi and games. But I find it acceptable. Camera and sound are excellent. U can go ahead. https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

using TATA DOCOMO Sim, and this is not just my problem, I found this problem with others too, any solution??

Now i’m gonna explain everything in detail and answer all questions and doubts….
I own a K3 note (using it since July)

1)heating Issue
Any phone heats with prolonged use and so does k3 note ,it does heat when playing games for over 40-50 minutes which is normal with any phone (the maximum temperature that k3 note goes is 40)

2)WiFi Issue
Yes there was a Issue in WiFi connectivity i faced it but after the 18 MB OTA update that problem was solved with many other

3)Sound Issue
There is no Sound issue,Yeah the Volume is a little low but is good (Try playing high quality songs and videos on your phone like HD videos and minimum 120kbps songs [3gp videos will produce bad sound LOL https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif ])

4)Camera Quality
yeah this is the only thing that is bat in K 3 note , i cant say bad but its okayish but the front camera is great

5)LAG
yep it Lags but its a software Issue(Lollipop issue) but sometimes not always (just try to kill background apps when not in need.Main Memory eaters are :-FB,Messenger,Whatsapp,Skype,etc)

This device is Great
*Music
Music is great on Headphones i have Philips SHQ1200 and a Sennheiser HD220 ||
They Dolby Atmos Feature is awesome
*Battery
Battery life is a bit short it lats me a whole day with phone connected to wifi all the time and mobile data and GPS on all the time when not connected to wifi but it has a feature called super power saver mode heck its awesome tried it phone lasted 3 days on a single charge ()you cant use anything else except calls,sms clock https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif )
*Build
Build Quality is Okayish (i mean what else do you want in a 10k phone it justifies the price)
*Display Its FC uk ing Awesome
Crisp and clear(Try using Bluelight filter at night or Twilight best apps)

how about Asus Zenfone 2 Laser?
i think main difference would be screen resolution.
