The LG K8 that was announced last year is now available from offline stores in India. LG had announced the K8 along with other K Series smartphones in December last year. Mahesh Telecom, a Mumbai based retailer has revealed on Twitter that the device is now available for Rs. 9,999.
The device has been listed on the company’s website with a MRP of Rs. 11,000 but the device is retailing for Rs. 9,999 and is currently limited to offline stores only. To recall, this is the successor of the K8 that was launched in 2016.
Moving on to the hardware of the device, the K8 features a 5-inch in-cell touch display with a 2.5D Curved glass and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

It comes with a fingerprint sensor placed just below the primary camera and LED flash, similar to what we see on other budget devices these days.
