This along with Lenovo Virtual Reality (VR) technology is supposed to provide users a virtually large screen cinematic experience.  The popular head-mount VRs such as the AntVR for Lenovo, Google Cardboard, and Oculus will work with Lenovo Vibe K4 Note.

    2. 3GB of RAM:

    3. Front-facing stereo speakers:

    Lenovo Vibe K4 Note comes with two front-facing speakers (1.5W each) alongside Dolby Atmos audio. This will enhance audio output of the device. Stereo speaker setup is common in high end smartphones. It is welcome move from Lenovo to adopt it into mid range smartphone.
