I'm still using this phone, yes it does overheat during video calls that are more than an hour long, and you need to regularly manage RAM usage by turning on developer options in the system settings and doing a clean up of cached processes. For someone like me who hasn't got a single game installed, and whose primary use is RUclips, music, email, calls, and browsing, this phone is more than adequate. Add to that the fact that I picked it up in an October 2018 Amazon sale for ₹6900 with 600 cash back and a free protective case, I consider it great value for money for more than two years of satisfied usage. The display remains the main draw, and Dolby Atmos is awesome. I would consider upgrading to an Amoled display phone with 5G around 20K this year, else I'll hold on to this till 2022.

The only thing which most people do not observe is the build quality... The moment you hold that phone in ur hand u can feel that sturdyness. Exceptionally good build quality. When u hold a RN5PRO and Lenovo k8 note u can easily find out how feeble the RN5Pro feels. But the main let down is the heating issue. Even when browsing using chrome or just watching RUclips for about 5 mins or so it gets really warm which makes u feel that its not gonna hold up. That's the main reason why is switched to RN5Pro. But as far as other things like ram management, camera, charging speed, battery performance is totally liveable with.
Great video Ash. Watching this on my k8 note. You're a little late but one of the best. But looks like you're as confused as we are as to how we feel about this device. Btw GSM arena says the aperture is f1.7. are you sure your sources are correct?
I love ur videos ash... I always prefer u over every other reviewer. I am a huge fan of ur work. I hav never commented in any video on RUclips but i saw ashtalks the other day and u told us that u like it when someone comments on ur videos. I just want u to know that u r my idol, well, u and mkbhd(i know u love watching his videos as well). Keep up the great work.. I luv u from the core of my heart. That's it for today... This is guri signing off...U hav a great day. Ba- bye now.😉
Hi, Thanks for the wonderful video. Have some queries below, please address. What are other options in other brands with feature like secure zone? I want to buy a phone around 20k, compact below 5", with 4G, Volte, Fingerprint, Andriod 6 or above, better battery life , NFC(may or not). Usage is 3-4 mail accounts, whatsapp for personal and office use, and a decent camera. Bit tech savvy, so internet usage is moderate. Please suggest a dual sim phone accordingly.
I don't know what problem people have with this phone. I bought it 2 weeks back and have been using it since. I have no problem with.The battery life is good and will get you through the day with still 40% battery left. Gaming is awesome as I am a hard core gamer and play 2 to 3 games simultaneously like asphalt 8,mortal combat x and mc 5 and there are no frame drops or and kind of lag for that matter. It gets warmer but not hot like people exaggerate. P.S. I have the 4-64 varient.

Is it worth the buy? I am looking for a phone. I surf the internet, use some apps, not much of a gamer; suggest me two - three phones in the 16000 range
PLEASE READ THIS GUYS Listen, I bought K8 note few days ago, and i have to return the device. Don't get me wrong I love lenovo devices , previously i was using k3 note(it was ok-ish), but i had to return k8 note bcz of some unusual problems. 1.) Though it says it has VOLTE support, maybe it doesn't and again, maybe my device was faulty. On mobile network it only shows LTE (no volte) and with the battery saver on u'll miss incoming calls and can't even make an outgoing call(moto e4 plus also has the same problem and other lenovo devices). 2.) Secondly, it tends to unlock the camera interface while shooting a video, so u can't tap to focus. I don't know everytime i was shooting a video, it locks the whole interface, and then i had to double click and unlock it again(whole lotta work..believe me) irritating af.. 3.) While using jio beside the fact i wasn't able to make or receive a call with battery saver on. With normal mode it was great. Problem started when i started using my secondary Aircel SIM. after few hours the phone simply dosent detect the sim, AT first i thought theres a fault in my sim, but then i used vodafone, airtel..same stuff happened. Lenovo k8 note is a great device no doubt..very fast..impressive camera..average battery..but not at all optimized properly. I wish lenovo gives an ota update to fix the errors asap
@Ash , please try to make a video for best smartphones at every six months according to price category. I realized that u r d only reviewer who has the best tech knowledge. Thanks
Can you please solve my following problems in LENOVO K8 NOTE ? 1) How can I record calls ? 2) How can I get schedule power on and off ? 3) Updated to latest version, but how can I save more battery ? 4) How can I delete trash and unnecessary folders ?
I love listening to audio via 3.5mm jack... I have a k5 note but it will not get any updates so thinking about upgrading to k8 note.. so tell me is the audio output as good as k5 note's?
What are the other phones that need to consider while buying k8 note? I mean is there any better phone for around these prize segment may be 1000bucks higher.

K8 note's camera isn't a true dual camera..... That 5 mp camera just takes depth info....... So unless you are using depth mode..... There is just a single camera working
pavan teja bro i just bought the a1 too... Even my redmi 3s prime has better front camera..... Xiaomi could have use that 4 ultrapixel technology used in previous mi5 versions....

Hariom Gehlot There's nothing like that🙂the phone works perfectly fine and to be honest, it's one of the best phones in the budget price segment of 2017! The only issue is with the headphone jack! It doesn't accept the regular ones.
Privileged White Male Cameras are amazing when there is light but do have some noise in low light, but it's expected and performed decently for a 15k phone. P.s: portrait mode doesn't work in low light (like any other phone) and the app itself says it's too dark. The phone is overall very snappy and no lags experienced till now.
Cyber SharK I'm facing slow motion video bug. I recorded (HD) the video in slow motion mode. But the output is in time lapse (faster than usual). I'm having 2 mi a1 both have the same bug. Do u experience the issue?thanks in advance
Battery is draining so quick..Goes off in 2hrs-3hrs for normal usage...And also takes more than 2hrs to charge fully..Once it took 6hrs to charge fully..Solutions Please?😭
Please do a video on how to record slow motion video in mi a1 as both time lapse and slow motion is working as same. I can't record slow motion video. Or is it a bug. I have 2 mi a1 mobiles, both phones are having the same problem
Wow.. Nice video effects.. Its getting better day by day..
I'm still using this phone, yes it does overheat during video calls that are more than an hour long, and you need to regularly manage RAM usage by turning on developer options in the system settings and doing a clean up of cached processes.

Gunda Raja thanks buddy... That helped a lot....
SvK SH Try covering that 5mp camera and take a picture.
pavan teja bro i just bought the a1 too... Even my redmi 3s prime has better front camera..... Xiaomi could have use that 4 ultrapixel technology used in previous mi5 versions....

Any suggestions for under 15k
Great review
Big huge thumbs up for u ash. Iam going to buy mi A1
I am having it ♥
You can use camera app by double pressing power button so it's not good to use music key for this ...
Watching this on a Mi A1 😎
Cyber SharK man hw is the phone ,im going to buy it , is it gr8?
Also pls reply can we use 3rd party for radio ,will it work?
Arjun Pramod Just got it today and so far it's been awesome.
Haven't tested if the FM radio works,but you can still use online radio.
Privileged White Male Cameras are amazing when there is light but do have some noise in low light, but it's expected and performed decently for a 15k phone.
P.s: portrait mode doesn't work in low light (like any other phone) and the app itself says it's too dark.
The phone is overall very snappy and no lags experienced till now.
Cyber SharK I'm facing slow motion video bug. I recorded (HD) the video in slow motion mode. But the output is in time lapse (faster than usual). I'm having 2 mi a1 both have the same bug. Do u experience the issue?thanks in advance
Cyber SharK Me too ! 😂 Watching it on Mi A1 after returning Lenovo k8 note 😂😂😂
Yes u r correct..i agree...thnx for making the video.. plss make its finger print test...pls
Can you review the K8 Plus?
Does it support moving apps to SD card??
I have to admit: you're like the Marques Brownlee of Asia.
Does it have Mediatek's clear motion miravision?
Thanks for the review. This unit will be on sale in the Philippines for 8,000php.
But with the gaming performance, I think I will pass... 🤔
which selfi camera is better mi a1 or lenovo k8 note
Can u please check if the dual camera is real because I put my finger on the top first camera still was able to take a picture
Bought it..
It's best in this price range..
I am looking for a phone with dual sim + dedicated micro SD slot at a mid range price. Suggestions please. (Live in UAE)
When is the Oreo update coming for K8 Note?
What is the probability this device will get Oreo?
Battery is draining so quick..Goes off in 2hrs-3hrs for normal usage...And also takes more than 2hrs to charge fully..Once it took 6hrs to charge fully..Solutions Please?😭
want to ask weather it plays all videos in video player in 60fps? as its decacore and it supports miravision, please this is important for me.
Which phone is best in the segment
+krishna giri Mi A1!
- Sundar
Please do a video on how to record slow motion video in mi a1 as both time lapse and slow motion is working as same. I can't record slow motion video. Or is it a bug. I have 2 mi a1 mobiles, both phones are having the same problem
Lenovo won't do this, but is it possible to give a stock android update for older device.
You can install a custom version of Android on any phone manually by rooting your device...But it's a little tricky
