Lenovo's K8 Note is official with a 5.5" FHD display, Helio X23, and stock Android
It's easy to forget here in the west that Lenovo still makes its own phones (versus relying solely on Motorola). Despite that, the Chinese company just announced its newest device, the K8 Note. It comes with some decent specs, an attractive price, and stock Android 7.1.1.
I know that most of you are interested in what this thing is running, so here's the official spec sheet:
A few days ago, Lenovo declared that it was forsaking its Vibe Pure UI skin in favor of Google's vision for Android. The rest of the phone is decidedly mid-range — seeing microUSB is disappointing. Also, does anyone recognize the overall design of the phone? It's eerily familiar.
The metal unibody does look nice, though, especially in the Venom Black color. Lenovo has also included another hardware button, which is currently called the "Music Key." Fret not: Lenovo says that you can reprogram/reassign the key to whatever app you want.
