Lenovo K8 Note exclusive available on Amazon India on August 9

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 Lenovo K8 Note Page live on Amazon India that page said K8 Note exclusive available on Amazon India on 9th August.

As per the benchmark listing, the upcoming smartphone is likely to be powered by a 1.39GHz deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 chipset paired with 3GB of RAM. Apart from that, the smartphone will run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box. In the benchmark test, the smartphone scored 1,659 and 4,844 for single and multi cores respectively. At the time of filing this story however, other details about the smartphone are unknown.

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.

The Lenovo K8 Note seems like the successor to the K6 Note, which was launched in India last December with a price tag of Rs 13,999. The K6 Note came with a 5.5-inch full HD display, Snapdragon 430 octa-core chipset, 32GB storage with 3GB of RAM, and 64GB storage with 4GB of RAM. The smartphone also came with a 4,000mAh battery, 16-megapixel rear camera, 8-megapixel selfie camera, and it ran on Android Marshmallow 6.0 out-of-the-box.
