Lenovo K8 Note camera samples possibly hint at dual camera setup

Lenovo India is aggressively promoting the upcoming Note series smartphone, the K8 Note. While earlier expectations were around the Lenovo K7 Note (Lenovo announced the K6 Note December 2016), Lenovo seems to have ditched the number seven and jumped directly to eight. The phone will arrive on August 9, and Lenovo has been teasing a few details of the upcoming smartphone via social media. Now, the latest set of teasers hint at the K8 Note’s photographic chops.

The photos shared by Lenovo include a sample from all major modes of shooting – Macro, Landscape, and Portrait. The one shot not seen is that of low-light photography. The Portrait mode does show a blurry back, revealing that the phone will support the Bokeh effect. Considering the launch invite shows the number ’8′ in a metal frame, it could hint at a dual camera setup.

The Landscape, Macro, Nature and City Shots show other features like the colors and exposure of the smartphone. The images are in landscape and not portrait mode, thus confirming they are only teasers and will not be actual wallpapers on the smartphone. The ‘Killer’ tag is applied here too, with ‘Killer Photography’ features highlighted.

Lenovo K8 Note was recently spotted on GeekBench, revealing some of its key specifications. These include a 1.39GHz deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 chipset, 3GB of RAM, and Android Nougat 7.1.1 OS out-of-the-box. In the benchmark test, the smartphone managed to achieve a score of 1,659 for the single core and 4,844 for multi cores. No other details were revealed by the benchmark listing.
