Sudhin Mehta, head of Lenovo India Mobile Business, caught everyone’s attention at the beginning of the launch event in 2015 and 2016 to contribute to the significant contribution of the battery in the company’s popular smartphones. The year changed but the company’s strategy has not changed completely. Lenovo’s 8 Plus is truly an upgrade of Lenovo’s 6 power. But this time the important feature is not just a battery. Customers will now also get two rear cameras. By the way, you also find both features in 8 notes of Lenovo. But the company understands the importance of every thousand rupees for customers during shopping, only then these features have been made part of a little cheap avatar. Has Lenovo’s 8 Plus company has made a major agreement due to the low price? To know the answer to this question, we spent some time with Lenovo’s 8 Plus and Lenovo’s 8 in the launch event. At first glance, how do we like this handset? Let’s tell ….
We both clean the phone differences before making any discussion about the first look of Lenovo K8 and Lenovo K8 Plus. Lenovo’s 8 Plus and K8 displays are only 5.2 inches. The difference is of resolution. The plus variant is full-HD resolution and common variant HD display. Apart from this, you will get the same rear camera in Lenovo’s 8. At the same time, Helio P25 processor has been given in Lenovo’s 8 Plus and Helio P20 in K8. And the biggest difference will be in the price, which is possible only in the coming time.
For the first time when we took Lenovo’s 8 Plus smartphone in our hands, it was not easy to differentiate from Lenovo’s 8 notes. But it is light, there is no doubt. K8 and K8 Plus are also quite compact. Both phones fit easily in the palm. There is no difficulty in reaching the power and volume button on the right side or the rear part on the fingerprint scanner. Both phones have 3.5mm audio jacks at the top and the USB port on the lower back. There are speaker grills on either side of the port. Let us know that both handset comes with Dolby Atus support. Both phones have a music button on the left side which can also be customized. Just above it is a slot with microSD card and SIM card. The good thing is that the company has not given a hybrid SIM slot.
The screen is crisp. Viewing angle is also fine. And we do not have any complaints with the phone’s reaction to the finger gestures (touch response). It is worth noting that this variety of complaints are sometimes found in this price range phone. We have already told you that you get different processors in K8 and K8 Plus. In the limited time spent with them, we found that there is no problem in multitasking. The apps are launched rapidly. However, it will be possible to give any final decision on performance only after review.
Both phones run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat and the company has also promised Android Oreo updates. Like Lenovo’s 8 notes, these phones also come with stock Android. Because of this, the UI of the phone has been discharged from the unwanted app. Be ready to enjoy Android Nougat feature like app shortcut and Google Assistant.
Now talk about dual rear camera of Lenovo’s 8 Plus. The rear is on the rear with a 13 -megapixel sensor with another 5 megapixel. It will be possible to bring Bokeh effect with the help of both sensors. Pro mode is also given in the camera app. During the launch event, we used the camera of this phone. We have no complaint with the quality of photographs taken in limited time. But to tell in more detail, we will suggest you to wait for the review. The smartphone also has an aperture F/2.0, 84-degree wide angle lens and an 8-megapixel front camera with a ‘party’ flash. This also brought our selfie to be well. There will be no problem in using them on social media.
On the other hand, Lenovo’s 8 has just one rear camera. You will get a 13 megapixel sensor. Whatever the quality of the pictures is, it is so clear that you will not be able to do the art of plus or note variants with Lenovo’s 8 camera. The pictures we took was satisfactory. Similar this can be said about pictures taken from 8 megapixel front camera.
A specification is common in all three phones of Lenovo, that is the battery capacity. All three handsets are with 4000 mAh battery. This figure points towards reliable battery life. On the other hand, the company has claimed to run without charging for about two days. But we will recite the decision only after the review.
Two rear cameras have been a premium feature so far. But companies like Xiaomi, Motorola, Coolpad and Honor have brought it to the reach of common customers. In such a situation, how did Lenovo stay behind? The beginning started with Lenovo’s 8 notes which were handed over by customers. Now the company has introduced Lenovo’s 6 power upgrade Lenovo’s 8 plus for its fans. Along with this, Lenovo’s 8 has also been launched to maintain its reach in the offline market. Will these smartphones live up to the company’s claims? Has the company found a winning formula by combining budget and powerful specifications? Answers to these questions will be found in the future itself. But the gadgets 360 will review these handsets and at least remove some of your dilemmas.
