The Lenovo K8 Note is run on a MediaTek MT 6797D Helio X23 a Tri-cluster, 64-bit chipset with a 2.3 GHz high-performing deca-core processor and the Mali T-880 MP4 GPU. The device has either a 3GB or 4GB RAM and 32GB or 64GB onboard storage which is expandable via a microSD card. The Lenovo K8 Note runs stock Android 7.1.1 out of the box, and Lenovo has removed their Vibe UI complete for a pure Android experience, the phone also supports USB OTG for added storage options.
The Lenovo K8 Note features a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 px display with a pixel density of 441ppi and a Corning Gorilla Glass with oleophobic coating for scratch and smudge resistance. The K8 Note is also splash resistant due to its P2i coating, although the resistance might decrease with time due to wear and tear of the nano coating. The fingerprint sensor sits at the back of the device under the cameras. The Lenovo K8 Note comes in two colours – Venom Black and Fine Gold.
The phone features a deca core CPU, which manages to pull off day to day usage without lag, you also get quick multitasking and a responsive UI thanks to stock Android and ample amounts of RAM. The cameras also offer up a depth mode with a 13 MP + 5 MP combination allowing the user to simulate an f/1.2 aperture using the combination of light from both the cameras, blurring out the background of the subjects. This mode is great and the K8 Note is possibly the only device with this feature in the price bracket.
The Lenovo K8 Note also features a unique customisable convenience key on the left of the device, designed to play and manage music, but can be assigned to launch an app or carry out a task online, even the painful Bixby button on the S8 and S8+ doesn’t do that.
