Short Review
- The Lenovo K8 Plus features a solid build with dimensions of 147.9 x 73.7 x 9 mm and a weight of 165g, utilizing Gorilla Glass 3 on the front and an aluminum back and frame for durability.
- Its 5.2-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing sharp visuals at approximately 424 ppi, although it lacks HDR support.

- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and microUSB 2.0, though it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
