Design
LG pulled out all the stops when designing the K8. The sleek, elegant curves of the handset combined with the woven back cover make for a smartphone that stands out amongst the rest. Combines a 5 inch touchscreen display with a 720 x 1080 pixel resolution with the reinforcement of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 makes for not only a great viewing experience, but also promises a level of durability that will withstand all the knocks that everyday life can bring.
Features
The K8 is fully equipped with an impressive 1.25GHz quad-core processor, giving an ultra responsive experience that won’t have users waiting for tasks to load. The handset also comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage that can then be expanded to up to 200GB via a micro SD card, meaning you can store all of your favourite photos and all important files without worrying about space. Plus you don’t have to sacrifice any of your favourite apps from the Google Play Store.
The LG K8 packs a brilliant 13MP rear camera with tap and shot technology, as well as a 5MP front shooter, so you can be sure that both your photographs and selfies are all clear, sharp and top quality. Selfies become even easier with gesture shot technology, allowing you take the shot with just a wave of your hand.
LG have equipped the K8 with a powerful 2125mAh battery that is conveniently removable, meaning that if, by chance, you do run out of power on the go, you have the option to swap one battery for another while the dead one charges back up.
Price
The K8 is all of this and surprisingly ultra affordable. Retailing at £127 SIM free, this handset is a wise choice if you’re looking to purchase a phone outright. However, if you are on the hunt for a new pay monthly contract, or if you’re eligible for an upgrade, then you’ll be pleased to discover many fantastic deals on the market currently. Either way, the K8 is a smart choice when looking for a new handset.Launch Date
