Design and Display
The Lenovo K8 Plus shows sturdy design with a body featuring metal. It doesn’t look a lot different from devices we have seen from Lenovo in recent times, especially in this price bracket. The phone comes in roughly 9mm thick, but you should not find it awkward or uncomfortable to use with a single hand.
Lenovo K8 Plus features a 5.2-inch display with Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. So, you can expect sharper images than what the Lenovo K8 can muster. This IPS touch screen has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 lying on top for protection.
Camera
The Lenovo K8 Plus is a smartphone for those users that take lots of pictures. It offers you two cameras on the rear – a phenomenon that now appears a key selling point of more expensive devices. Its maker adds a 5MP sensor to the 13MP you get on the regular variant. These promise better quality images.
Camera features include dual-LED (dual tone) flash and phase detection autofocus for improved shot taking capability. The 8MP selfie snapper also looks like one to impress.
Hardware and Software
You will find a more powerful MediaTek Helio P25 octa-core processor on the Lenovo K8 Plus. This zips along at speeds of up to 2.5 GHz. And when you consider availability of 3GB or 4GB RAM to provide support, you have a phone ready to impress.
You get the same 32GB onboard storage that you can expand by up to 128 GB with a microSD card. Lenovo K8 Plus boots Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS which, interestingly, doesn’t feature the Vibe UI.
