There has been a sudden increment in the quantity of
effectively specced cell phones in the sub-Rs. 20,000 market, and the new
Lenovo K8 Note is the most recent to go along with them. The new Lenovo gadget
is focused at purchasers who adore diversion in a hurry and would prefer not to
bargain with execution or camera quality. The Lenovo K8 Note sports double
cameras at the back, an element that has turned out to be extremely famous
among Android makers after the dispatch iPhone 7 Plus(Review) a year ago. There
are as of now a significant number Android cell phones with double cameras in
the Indian market including the Coolpad Cool 1 Dual (Review), OnePlus 5
(Review), and Honor 6X (Review). We'll discover how well K8 Note passages
against its rivals.
As far back as finishing its obtaining of the Moto mark,
Lenovo has been having some fantastic luck as far as cell phone shipments.
Industry reports demonstrate that Lenovo has figured out how to end up plainly
one of the best five cell phone merchants in India on account of its immense
arrangement of items. At the India dispatch of the K8 Note, Lenovo guaranteed
that it has figured out how to offer 8.5 million K-arrangement gadgets in the
nation so far.With the Lenovo K8 Note, the organization is additionally
changing to a stock Android encounter, discarding the Vibe Pure UI altogether,
which is enormous move. On paper, the Lenovo K8 Note has some OK specs and
highlights, however rivalry is solid. Does it figure out how to strike a decent
harmony amongst estimating and highlights? We discover.
Lenovo K8 Note look and feel
The Lenovo K8 Note's metal body feels solid when you hold the phone out of the blue. The Aluminum 6000 material offers a top notch feel and a delicate touch. While there's most likely that the K8 Note is one of the better looking phones in its class, the plan is a long way from unique, and firmly helps us to remember the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. It has 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass spread over the front edges, which looks slick. Lenovo has utilized a hostile to unique finger impression covering on the screen which implies you shouldn't need to try cleaning it all the time.
The Lenovo K8 Note has capacitive route catches at the
front, which aren't illuminated. We regularly experienced difficulty utilizing
them out of the loop. The front camera has its own LED streak which has been a
well known request of late, as indicated by Lenovo. The back has the double
cameras which are set one over the other, joined by a double LED streak. The unique
mark sensor is directly beneath the cameras, and was effectively available
anytime. The general size and arrangement of physical catches makes them simple
to utilize. We enjoyed the way that power and volume catches have been
marginally low to effectively fall under a thumb or index finger contingent
upon which hand you're holding the phone in.
There are the well-known reception apparatus groups on the
best and base of the handset's back. The groups will coordinate the phone's
shading, influencing them to mix in. The Lenovo K8 Note will be accessible in
Fine Gold and Venom Black, which we got for our survey. Lenovo has run with
moderate marking on the K8 Note, which is great. You can discover a logo at the
back.
The left board has a devoted "Music key" which is
customisable for any reason. Clients can modify it through Settings > Music
Key for playing/stopping sound or video, flipping the electric lamp, propelling
the camera, taking a screenshot, or opening a particular application. The Music
Key has a red shading accent to influence it to emerge, with play and delay
symbols above it. There are likewise committed openings for two SIMs and a
microSD card, which Lenovo pushed is a standout amongst the most requested
highlights in this section. There's a Micro-USB port at the base, with a
speaker grille on either side. Lamentably, there's just a single utilitarian
speaker, yet this phone supports Dolby Atmos Audio upgrade. The other grille is
only for appear, much like on numerous other spending phones. The best has a
3.5mm sound jack.
We experienced no difficulty utilizing the K8 Note with only
one hand. It quantifies 154.5x75.9x8.5mm and its adjusted edges influence it to
fit well in a palm. At 180g, this phone is somewhat overwhelming contrasted
with any semblance of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (175 grams) which ought to be
viewed as immediate rivalry. Also, the Lenovo K8 Note has a water repellent
outline which enable it to survive light sprinkles, however don't view it as
identical to real water protection. Lenovo obviously calls attention to that
fluid harm won't be secured under the guarantee.
At the point when contrasted with the Lenovo K6 Note, the
Lenovo K8 Note has a great deal of changes as far as plan that influence it to
feel more premium at its cost. In the case, you get a straightforward plastic
case, a USB link, a 15W quick charger, a SIM ejector, and direction manuals.
The Lenovo K8 Note is the organization's first cell phone to deliver with a
fast charger. Be that as it may, there are currently no packaged headphones
which may be a touch of dissatisfaction for a few purchasers.
Lenovo K8 Note details and programming
The Lenovo K8 Note includes a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920
pixels) show. In the engine, it is controlled by a deca-center MediaTek Helio
X23 (MT6797) SoC with four centers timed at 1.4GHz, another four centers at
1.85GHz, and two centers at 2.3GHz. The K8 Note has been propelled in India in
two stockpiling and RAM variations: 3GB of RAM with 32GB of capacity, and 4GB
of RAM with 64GB of capacity. We got the last for our survey. Capacity
extension utilizing a microSD card (up to 128GB) is bolstered.
Lenovo is vigorously promoting the double camera highlight
on the K8 Note, which is the organization's initially phone to offer this
element. There's a 13-megapixel essential sensor and a 5-megapixel profundity
sensor for making a bokeh impact. For selfie darlings, the K8 Note has a
13-megapixel sensor at the front with its own LED streak. There's a 4000mAh
non-removable battery, and this phone supports fast charging. The K8 Note
highlights 4G with VoLTE (voice over LTE). LTE Cat 6 speed implies that you can
get up to 300Mbps download speeds and up to 50Mbps transfer speeds if your
transporter offers that sort of execution. Other network highlights incorporate
Wi-Fi 802.11 air conditioning and Bluetooth 4.1.
One of the enormous changes Lenovo is making with its
all-new K8 Note is as far as programming. The Chinese organization imparted the
news initially to Gadgets 360AZ, and affirmed that all future Lenovo phones
will run stock Android out-of-the-container. The Lenovo K8 Note keeps running
on the current Android 7.1.1 Nougat. This implies Lenovo has completely
discarded its Vibe Pure UI. Running Android 7.1.1, the Lenovo K8 Note comes has
the 3D Touch-like application alternate routes highlight, which was taken off
in December a year ago. K8 Note clients can perform logical activities
utilizing any advanced application by essentially long-squeezing its symbol.
Our unit had effectively gotten the most recent July security fix, and Lenovo
guarantees that clients can expect opportune updates starting now and into the
foreseeable future. A portion of the other prominent Android 7.1.1 highlights
on the K8 Note incorporate GIF bolster straightforwardly in the console, a wide
assortment of new emoticons, split-screen multitasking, and Google Assistant.
You get all the standard Google applications including Duo,
Play Movies and Play Music however the phone additionally accompanies Microsoft
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, which are removable. The interface is liquid, and
you won't feel the gadget faltering notwithstanding when numerous applications
are running. Google's Photos application turns into the default display which
as we would see it is great, since you can adjust all your photographs and
recordings to the cloud.
Lenovo K8 Note execution and camera
We enjoyed ourselves utilizing the Lenovo K8 Note, and found that stock Android was exceptionally welcome. We didn't have any issues in spite of running up to 12 applications out of sight, which can be credited to Android's memory administration. The K8 Note is being propelled in 3GB and 4GB RAM alternatives, and our recommendation is run with the 4GB rendition for a superior general ordeal on the off chance that you can.
The main thing we saw was that this phone got warm rapidly.
You will begin feeling heat if the camera application has been open for a
couple of minutes or in the event that you utilize GPS route even quickly. A
similar thing happened when gaming. A 20-minute session influenced the phone to
warm however not very awkward to utilize.
Gaming on the Lenovo K8 Note was smooth, and it could deal
with overwhelming designs in Need for Speed: No Limits with no bother. Call
quality was additionally respectable, and we could make brings over the Jio
organize because of VoLTE bolster. The phone additionally makes a decent
showing with regards to of clutching its flag in congested areas. The single
speaker at the base right is sufficiently noisy yet don't anticipate that it
will coordinate the execution of stereo speakers. The Dolby Atmos application
can be utilized to change sound alternatives yet at the same time has its
points of confinement. Considering that Lenovo is intensely promoting the K8
Note as a sight and sound gadget, we wish the organization had run with stereo
speakers. There's no headset in the case which implies that you should utilize
your own.
Of course, the deca-center processor brought about some
entirely high test scores. AnTuTu returned 86,340 while Quadrant thought of
54,014, both of which are more than what we have seen on any phones we have
looked into in this value extend. The K8 Note likewise oversaw 33fps in
GFXBench and 11,151 of every 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme. The 5.5-inch screen has
a determination of 1080x1920 pixels, and is satisfactorily fresh and splendid.
Survey points are fine and daylight readability isn't an issue. The show on the
Lenovo K8 Note, as we would like to think, was the best we have seen on a
Lenovo gadget at this value level. We enjoyed ourselves watching recordings and
playing amusements on the K8 Note.
Contrasted with the K6 Note (Review), the K8 Note has gotten
a noteworthy knock in the camera division. It dons a 13-megapixel Purecel
sensor and a 5-megapixel Samsung BSI sensor at the back. While the primary
13-megapixel sensor is utilized to catch pictures, the 5-megapixel one catches
profundity of field data. The Camera application on the K8 Note is truly stock
which implies you won't get a great deal of tweaking alternatives. Clients can
take pictures either in Normal mode or in Depth-empowered mode for a bokeh
impact. Pictures taken in typical mode have great points of interest
