Lenovo unveiled the successor in the K series with the K8 Note. The predecessor launched almost a year ago was the K6 Note. Now, where did the K7 go? no one knows. However, the highlight of the K8 note is the dual rear cameras with stock Android experience and a budget price tag.
K8 Note specifications:
The K8 Note will be the first device from Lenovo to ditch the Vibe UI for stock Android, based on Nougat i.e 7.1.1 This decision was taken after considering the polls and reviews from users.
The device comes with Dolby atmos and Theatre Max for VR experience. Lenovo has also announced that they will be providing constant updates and will update the security version every 3 months. Also, another reason for the decision to stick to stock Android is constant and timely updates. The device comes with additional hardware button for music control which can be reconfigured for other apps.
The 4000mAh battery combined with powerful Helio X23 SOC must lead to a great experience. However, Mediatek is notorious for heating issues from it's past record and this can only be confirmed with K8 Note by using it for some time.
This device competes with Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Huawei Honor 6X and Moto G5 Plus.
The device will be available in Fine Gold and Venom Black colours exclusively via Amazon India and will retail for Rs. 12999 for 3GB RAM and 32GB storage variant whereas the 4GB-64GB variant will be available for Rs. 13999. The sale will be on August 18th, 12PM onwards.
