Lenovo K8 and K8 Plus likely coming to India in mid-September

In the second week of this month, Lenovo announced the launch of a killer mid-range smartphone - the Lenovo K8 Note in the country. The device went on sale on August 18 and was well received by the consumers.

Now, a recent report by 91Mobiles claims that the company is all set to launch two more K series smartphones in the country. According to the report, Lenovo K8 and K8 Plus smartphones will be launched in India in mid-September. For now, there is no specific launch date for these two upcoming Lenovo smartphones, but the second half of September is the expected time frame. Also, the pricing information of these smartphones is yet to be revealed.

For those who are unaware, prior to the launch of the Lenovo K8 Note in the country, a mysterious device with the moniker Lenovo K8 Plus was spotted on the Geekbench database. The benchmark listing revealed that the device will arrive with a deca-core 1.69GHz MediaTek Helio P25 processor teamed up with 3GB RAM. The listing further tipped that the handset will run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box and use the Mali-T888 GPU.

Back then, this smartphone was believed to be a variant of the K8 Note itself, which was not the case. Given that it comes with watered down specifications in comparison to the K8 Note, we can expect it to be priced below Rs. 10,000. Notably, the K8 Note was launched at Rs. 12,999 and Rs. 13,999 for the two variants.

The Lenovo K8 Note is an Amazon exclusive, so we believe that these new devices awaiting their launch in the country - the Lenovo K8 and K8 Plus will also be exclusive to the online retailer. For further details about these phones, we need to wait for a few more days.
