This handset is expected to come under INR 15,000 and makes for an attractive value for money handset. This is a brief overview of the device for our readers.

Design

The design of the new handset reminds us of the early phases of Lenovo handset combined with Lumia design. The handset comes with a polycarbonate make and bar form factor, which is a standard in Android smartphones.

The processor of the handset is further assisted by the presence of 4 GB of RAM for an enhanced performance. The built-in battery of the handset comes with a strength of 4000 mAh for a longer duration of usage.

Camera Technology

Lenovo K80 is a photography enthusiast's delight as it features a 13 Megapixels snapper on the rear panel with features like LED flash, Optical Image Stabilisation and f/2.2 aperture. The front panel of the handset features a 5 Megapixels snapper for selfies.

Connectivity

This dual-SIM handset from the Chinese brand also comes with dual support for 4G LTE and 3G HSPA+ to ensure constant Internet access. The handset also features useful connectivity features like NFC, Bluetooth, microUSB, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.

Verdict

The K80 feels quite powerful with the kind of specs it sports. Lenovo has been able to take the full advantage of the phablet form factor that K80 sports and that means you can get one for yourself without breaking the bank. Add to the great deal the 4G capabilities and the latest version of Android OS and you not just have a powerful device but a future-proof one at that too. Smartphone deals do not get any better than this.
