Lenovo is working towards offering users with an uncluttered software experience. The company has recently confirmed that starting with the upcoming Lenovo K8 Note, it is going to abandon its Vibe Pure UI in favor of stock Android. The Lenovo K8 Note will be its first smartphone to ship with Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box.
“What we have done in last 11 months is we looked at what we had in terms of software perspective. We have been close to the consumers and we saw what they were asking for. There was a certain trend and we have now decided to cut the Vibe Pure UI off from our phones. So you will now get the stock Android which consumers have been asking for. There’s no more Vibe UI going forward and we are moving to complete stock Android for all our future Lenovo phones. This is a huge transition for our business perspective,” Anuj Sharma, Lenovo India’s head of marketing for the mobile unit said in a statement.
Despite that, Lenovo will still add a few enhancements to take advantage of technologies like Dolby Atmos and TheaterMax, that it has pushed in recent times. But apart from that, ts devices will run a clean version of Android without any customisations.
As for the Lenovo K8 Note, the smartphone is scheduled to launch on August 9 in India, and will be an Amazon India exclusive. The company has been teasing the launch of the device on its social media channels. One such teaser hint at a dual-camera setup on the upcoming smartphone.
Lenovo put up camera samples, which made it clear that the focus of the smartphone is on its photographic chops. Other than that, a recent leak suggested that the Lenovo K8 Note could be powered by a 1.39GHz deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 chipset, paired with 3GB of RAM.
