Lenovo K8 Note XT1902-3 32GB Black, Dual Sim, 3GB, GSM Unlocked International Model, No Warranty

I bought the Lenovo K8 Note four months ago, deciding to upgrade my Galaxy S4 Mini. I am picky when it comes to phones, as I want to get 3-5 years of life out of the phone and good value for money. I moved away from Samsung, for much the same reason I moved away from Apple years ago, as it seems they are simply charging more money for the name on the product. The K8 Note having been on the market for less than a year at the time of purchase; along with its specs, features, design, and price point seemed more appealing than paying more for a Galaxy, that had been out for more than two years. After reading many reviews and comparing many phones, I decided on the Lenovo K8 Note. Do not make the same mistake that I did. This phone has been nothing but a headache since about two weeks into the unfortunate ownership experience. First and foremost, the blue tooth connectivity is nothing short of garbage. The phone constantly drops connection and takes 15-30 seconds to reconnect to any blue tooth device I connect it to; car, headset, Bose speakers, etc. Sometimes the phone connects flawlessly for 10-30 minutes, but most of the time it constantly cycles between connecting, dropping, and reconnecting and can run this cycle 10-15 times before staying connected for a period of time longer than five minutes. Obviously, this makes for an infuriating gym experience, so if you wear a wireless headset in the gym, you've been warned. Second, the wifi experience, while not as bad as the blue tooth, will also make you pull your hair out at times. I've experienced the poor performance of Lenovo's wifi cards in my other two Lenovo products, their Yoga laptop and an all-in-one desktop. It's the same experience with all three devices, they disconnect every so often, and sometimes you have to reconnect manually, as the device will stop connecting automatically. The K8 Note also seem incapable of getting the maximum internet speed on the network consistently. Lastly, the most recent problem I've experienced is by far the most frustrating, and the one that's really making me think hard about trashing this phone for good. The phone seems to have destroyed my SIM card. While I cannot prove that the phone is to blame, I've never had a problem with a SIM card in my life before this phone came into it. I experience the overheating issue that some people have complained about, albeit very rarely; that said, I'm not on my phone for hours on end like some may be. The SIM card failure occurred at the end of a 60 mile bike ride, after I had been running Google Maps for 4.5 hours non-stop, and the phone was very hot to the touch. Therefore, I believe it to be safe to assume the phone is the culprit here. These are only the major problems I've encountered in just four months, so please, spare yourself the trouble by staying away from this phone. Once I get my new SIM card and transfer my number, I'll be taking my K8 Note to an exchange shop and trading it in. The phone's design and features would make it good value for money if it worked, which makes it all the more disappointing that it doesn't work. I hope at least one person finds this helpful, and avoids making the mistake that I did.

Well the phone came with less than i expected... My main and major problem is with the videio playback quality... I hate it.. idk if there is a software download that could fix it but its awful.. definitely expected a lot better with all those reviews i e watch an all that.. smh.. very disappointed.. and no case or screen protector... Never ever again.. ive been buying these types of phones and this is tbe worst yet.. and there is no update for Oreo, which i was looking forward to... I want my money back

This phone, for all of it's abilities, immediately turned me off when i was laying on my back one night and woke up in "pain" where it was very hot on my stomach. I had fallen asleep after a call. I've owned a LOT of phones but none of them ever acted like this phone did. Every time it got near my skin it was like an oven. After that being said, it wasn't as fast as some people claimed it was.

I really am happy with my purchase it's got space for apps its got speed (the 8 core processor) just a few quirks with mine, for instance the camera takes forever to focus (on both sides) and some wifi/ Bluetooth connectivity issues sometimes it can't see Bluetooth devices properly and it has yet to cast to a wireless display :( it starts to connect then disconnect instantly really wish it worked cause I woulda given five stars

The camera looks great. Love the dual sim capability. Touching alot of things, you do see a little lagg here and there but thats probably due to its size in ram. Apart from that, youre getting a great phone for its price. Alot of features in this phone that you might not even get with newer/ latest gen phones.

T-Mobile has confined this phone works only with 2G and 1 (2400) LTE band which is not good, I personally tried too use the phone and it wouldn’t work correctly. Also didn’t come with charger so double check packaging.

the cell phone was a disappointment. the battery lasted 6 hours. since several years ago all my cell phones have been of the lenovo brand. Possibly mine was bad luck. This brand of cell phones is very good. It was unfortunate the refund process with the seller

The main reason i got this phone was its battery capacity. I've started using it this week. But still, having charged the phone on the third day is amazing. (I didn't use my phone a lot on that day, but i forgot wifi open when i went to bed,and still) my phone lasted two nights, a whole day and some more.The apps are fast, the phone resources quite good. Its definitely a price / performance product.

Excellent display, super fast charging, great feel ad very fast.Easily handles many apps open at the same time and heating issues are not a bother too. Sound is nice but beware it has only 1 speaker although there are two grills on the body of the phone. Can't understand why Lenovo did this . The phone has already got latest Oreo update, along with enhancements to sound, performance and camera.Camera is great at this price band.The biggest issue is that it does not support dual 4G Standby as described in the specs. Only one SIM will become 4G while the other will shift to 3G/2G. That is ridiculous. I bought it on seeing the features shown on the product page saying "Dual 4G Dual Standby", however its a total disappointment there. Should have put proper description.Overall a very good phone if you take away the negatives regarding dual standby and speakers.

Writing this review after 1year of purchase.Pros:1. 5.5 inch full screen2. 4000 mah battery3. Decent touch screen responseCons:1. Although they say it as 10core processor, 4gb ram. I see device gets heated while playing PUBG game. And screen frame rate nd resolution little low while playing game. But game doesn't stuck much anyways2. Stock Android is one benefit for device being faster in response. At same time lesser customization and also not much utility apps available out of box , apart from Android one's3. At times my home screen gadget clock time don't get updated. It's a clear bad bug. Yet times I was mistaken watching time on my device.

So apparently, if your charger cable degrades, you have to shell out Rs 1500 to replace your Mobile Charging port too. Why you ask? Because they can not connect phone to PC using "broken" cable (Not any other working cable, because that is against their Policy), so they diagnosed that charging port too must be faulty. I am amused how many ways people come up with to cheat customers.

It has been more than 1 year and 4 months using this phone.Brought this phone at 14k.Specifications looked good.First 6 month it was decent phone.Just when it was about to complete 6 month Turbo Charger didn't worked. Lucikly it was within exact 6 month it got replaced for free. Then after couple of months came the Oreo update and phone battery started draining very quickly. Lenovo gave another update after 15-20 days which solved the issue. But still there are bluetooth, wifi connectivity issue. I cant use wireless bluetooth headphones because of lag in it. Then just 2 days ago phone got hanged and is not able to start. After visiting service center they told me its software issue and we dont have update for it you need to wait 15 - 20 days. So till i dont get update its useless phone. Also, this phone price is today is around 30 % down and max is 3k so very little value on exchange of phone. So my final call will be dont buy it.Edit : Update after 1 month later I was told its mother board had issue. I was surprised to hear this because it never had fallen no physical damage then how motherboard gets issue.You need to pay Rs. 8000 but we would suggest buy new phone instead which will cost around same.Today 02 Jun 2019, i got notification from Amazon that my review has been voted by 10 people. Thats why I am updating my review.After reading reviews i found many are facing same issue of motherboard and phone hangs and shows Lenovo logo.So I would really suggest dont fall for trap of avg rating of 3.4.If we could give 0 as rating then avg would fall below 2. 43 percent of people have given 3 or below 3. I feel number of 4 and 5 is higher because people immediately review it after purchase they dont wait for at least 1 year to check the quality.So my really request would be dont buy this cheap quality phone.

Within month ( actually in a week) the receiving started to drop and today service centre told the issue is in Antenna. They need to replace antenna and if not resolved they will replace motherboard.Worst product.
