New Delhi Aug 9 (IANS) Lenovo India on Wednesday made a new addition to its Note line-up with K8 Note . Priced at Rs 12 999 onwards Lenovo has placed the K8 Note in direct competition with the immensely-popular Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 .
The high points of the device are its primary dual cameras and stock Android (7.1.1) operating system (OS).
The company s Note series has been quite popular in India and K8 Note has come after a brief hiatus. In the mean time Lenovo has launched seven Motorola-branded smartphones in the past six months.
We spent some time with K8 Note and this is our first impression of the 4GB RAM 64 ROM device.
Lenovo s Vibe UI was heavily-bloated and made devices pretty slow. But this time the company has ditched its custom software in favour of stock Android for good.
Powerful internals make the smartphone a great performer.
Lenovo K8 Note comes with Google Assistant and multi-window function as well.
Another highlight of K8 Note -- the primary camera (with dual sensors) -- is capable of taking some really cool images.
The camera set-up has 13MP primary sensor and 5MP depth sensor for better pictures and enhanced depth of field.
It delivers good Bokeh shots with good details in daylight. However we are yet to test the camera in low light.
The camera app did not show lag and we were able to clicked multiple images without any lag.
In terms of looks the smartphone has a great built but does not stand out of the crowd.
The 5.5-inch full-HD (1920x1080 pixels) display is pretty bright.
Note series is focused on battery life and K8 Note also features a big 4000mAh battery. A 15-watt turbo charger is included that promises to charge the device quickly.
There s a dedicated music key on the device for music lovers. The smartphone also supports 4G connectivity and VoLTE.
While Lenovo has strategically placed K8 Note in a fiercely-competitive segment it would be interesting to see how it proves to be a stiff competition to Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 .
