Lenovo Golden Warrior Note 8 - User Reviews

  • My Lenovo A936 does not turn on even after charging the battery. Does anyone have an idea that might work.

  • This is my longest phone in service until today. Almost all off my video taken with this phone on my you tube channel. I'm not using vibeui, using my own port rom here and my youtube channel

  • I have a Lenovo A936.For some reason it rarely connects to the internet. what would be the reason?

  • Does this phone is really note and supports a pen could anyone tell me??😐😐

  • can insert 256gb sd card?

  • I bought fake one in Nigeria. It has got spoilt. I still plan to buy the original one.

  • I have the same issue too.

  • i bought 2gb ram.. it works good and affordable with price. but im not satisfied with the camera. picture not smooth and not have face detection and others. maybe i dont know how to setting.

  • I have the same problem. I need an English manual.

  • how did you change the firmware pls?

  • For those with 1Gb version, do this to speed your phone. One thing that helps is turning of screen and cpu power saving mode in Power Manager settings menu. That makes this phone even enjoybl sometimesSmiley Happy let me know if it worked for you.

  • It is true that he have OTG function and really work with any pendrive? Thanks!

  • How can I get an English version of the user manual and documents that came with the phone

  • I think i have the same issue with the security as it puts the wifi or internet mobile to sleep. Any ideas how can i unblock this??? I am really desperate!!

  • I too flash to Jiayu before, but it wont allow to use external sd card as default storege, do you have that issue,? How you solve it?

  • Definately the security is disabling the auto run of these app.

  • Hello, can anyone help me? I have bought A936 and when the screen is off is like the whole mobile is getting to sleep. I dont receive any whats app or any other notification from apps. when i turn on the screen then i see next to the wifi signal 2 arrows up and down like its reaching... can anyone help me? is it the security that blocks is?

  • Hello, I use 2GB ram version. Very good phone.I change firmware version to JIAYU S3, it works very fast, 1.4GB free ram.Good batary life, good camera.Only display was not gorilla glass, but in pakcage there was gorilla glass film.No lags and very good display(with antutu it shows 44000 and 320dpi (in gsm area 247 dpi)). I recomend 2GB version, i buy it 114$ in our country. Good price

  • Hi guys, I want to replace my old s930 with this phone. Can anyone tell me since its only 8gb ram, can it move apps to ext storage like my s930 without root this phone

  • Yes,,, You can record the conversation of call

  • Someone know about this phone when dial to someone, can record the conversation of call?

  • Hello I am having problems in sending and receiving SMS!! Also timer alarm not working. Can anyone help please?? Thanks in advance

  • You can change it with the theme center app

  • I purchased this phone recently and am really pleased with it. It is a very good looking phone and functions fast. Nice feature installed is ability to easily boost and save RAM and also if you hold down the middle menu button, you can see which task is taking how much RAM and remove it also. The phone came with Lenovo "Theme Center" which is different from normal Android theme menu... You can find free and paid ringtones, themes and wallpapers - but they are in Chinese. Also in some occasion some instruction (e.g when first using function like a camera) instructions would display in Chinese. Everything else was in English (keyboard, my apps, menus, settings etc..) or you can change to a different language in the settings. Camera is pretty good but I honestly don't think you can compare to camera found in Samsung Galaxy Note. The video recording can (in some scenes) been slightly grainy but still a nice product at the end. Pictures were very clear, nice colours on the front and you have great options to focus which improve the picture quality. The internal camera was slightly lacking, especially in some darker scenario. It may be slightly blurry and can't compare to iPhone5 or 6 internal camera. Fortunately my skin seems magically and very discreetly "airbrushed" using internal camera which is just as good! If you need a fast phone that is impressive looking, great for games, movies, casual photos with nice scenes and friends, TV, good settings and doing your work tasks on your phone - BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!!!! I love this phone because I can view full web pages easily on the screen - something I can't do with my older phones! I don't recommend this phone to someone who is looking for ultra mega amazing camera quality, nonetheless it is a great buy, I've saved about hundred pounds as a phone like this would cost much more in a phone shop than what I paid.

  • one of my sim card not registering in my golden warrior note 8? any ideas anyone?

  • why?

  • nice phone with otg support.

  • This has to be the best name for a phone ever. The Golden Warrior Note 8!

  • Camera is nice because it is Sony's.

  • Hi all! Can anyone tell me if the lenovo note 8, can play the game real racing 3 ? Please Thanks

  • this phone and huawei mediapad x1 which one is the best?

  • am planning to buy this phone 2gb version but I want to know something before buying...anybody in here knows if it has otg and has a better camera? that two's matter to me. need an honest advice pls so I won't regret buying it...thanks in advance for the response!

  • My 2GB model facing display problem with Waze. Any suggestion?

  • I have the same problem i think is low ram memory.

  • Does this phone come with installed google play store?

  • No, I'm using 2GB RAM facing the same Waze problem. The graphic display incorectly ..

  • Where you buy that phone?

  • I have same problem wit Waze graphic scatered and awful I am running with lollipop...I have no idea what happens

  • too low ppi just 245 for 6 inch screen. having problem when using waze always show no route and road camera also very bad in low light mode.too many useless factory application.speed is the good one its 4g 1.7 octa.

  • I have this phone the 2gb version. May i know how can we change the font style of this phone?

  • just buy this phone last week..and im suprise this phone score(antutu:43k+) is better then xiaomi m4..and it only rm600

  • Kindly help me in buying this phone???

  • Basically i trade in my phone with the new one with 2gb ram. The phone still have value, i only need to top up a bit for a brand new one with 2gb ram. Till now I have never rebooted the phone, performance still very good. No lag what so ever. Free memory hovers around 900MB. The only thing need to improve is the camera shutter speed. Tough to capture moving object with good outcome. Its not bad, still sharp picture though.

  • How did you trade 1gb for 2gb?

  • Finally I trade in my 1GB ram A936 with the 2GB ram and all the lag issue were gone. Really satisfied with it. I ran the same apps such as fb, whatsapp, etc and total mem usage hovers around 1.1GB. No wonder the previous 1GB A936 was struggling. Overall performance is really good now, no need to reboot the phone to speed things up also. I highly recommends this 2GB version.

  • Don't get the 1GB ram, cause with bare OS you only have around 200MB ram free and this slows things down tremendously when you start using apps. Overall good performance phone when you reboot it, however it slows down in a day or two and you need to reboot again. I intend to change my 1GB with 2GB version. Camera picture quality is great, but can't capture fast moving objects. I have problem with waze, it works, but the the icon on the moving maps are just horrible. It can't display properly. Don't think its waze problem cause my friends non Lenovo phone running kitkat is having no issue.

  • i am looking for 6.0 inch Lenovo phone to buy. Pls can someone who hve this phone tel me the quality of the camera, browsing speed and durability.

  • i am looking for 6.0 inch Lenovo phone to buy. Pls can someone who hve this phone tel me the quality of the camera, browsing speed and durability.

  • how about the quality of picture which is taken by this a936's camera? nice?

  • The phone is good with large hd screen. I don't play much game, just the usual email, calendaring, whatsapp, etc. However RAM is always low with around 200MB free and when it reaches less than200MB free ram it will become horribly slow. My solution is to reboot it. Yes, push notification sucks, i need to run whatsapp and hide it in the background, else i won't get messages. Waze also having problem, I mean it works but the icon and text on the screen is not display correctly. Sometimes with no icon or a bunch of zoom in large icon picture. I'm not sure how to fix this phone, can't upgrade or patch it either. I'm not sure changing it with 2GB ram will resolve the above mentioned issue. Any idea?

  • Just received mine, came on time, fantastic looking phone, good quality, very responsive to the touch, but the down full I ordered a 2GB ram, but ended up with the 1GB ram, which seems OK, but alot of Chinese bloat Ware, everywhere, the company I've had it from are so helpful and responsed straight away are getting there technical team to sort it out, fingers crossed

  • Good phone but i have problem with camera switch off recording self by recording video after few seconds

  • 3300mAh

  • go to google . type a936 needrom

  • Is this phone gps good?... thanks in advance for reply my question

  • There is a stock, I think "Security", that blocks location access to some apps however location access is set ON. The brightness of the phone is very bad. It is supposed to be an IPS screen but it is darker than a LED screen. No compass. Battery could be bigger for such a thick phone of 9 mm. I use this phone however and I will continue using it. In fact I want the widest phone (like samsung note 1 and huawei mate 2) that has lowest length with the characteristics of this phone. but it does not exist. all wide phones are tall.

  • around 599

  • excellent phone 2G ram work perefct and support google play and rooted every thing is ok i love this fone

  • when i find this mobaile in my kanpur (UP) (india) plz any one tell me ????

  • where to find the stock rom for 2GB Version? I have to unbrick my phone but I can not find this rom :(

  • I have 15000RS to buy any phone. People told me to buy Samsung, HTC, Sony. But I dont like that. This lenovo golden warrior note 8 features, touch, size all things is awesome

  • I have 15000RS to buy any phone. People told me to buy Samsung, HTC, Sony. But I dont like that. This lenovo golden warrior note 8 features, touch, size all things is awesome

  • Buy 2 GB version man. No any lag I use with Nova Launcher it's very good phone

  • please what about lag and smooth in phone 2 ram

  • Heats fast than my previous android phone when I watch video, how much more when you play on

  • Experience from Malaysia: I bought this phone, expecting a very good phone. But I was very disappointed with the lack of responsiveness, battery life, Too much laggy, not smooth at all. The worst part is, RAM available is only less than 200mb, which is cause force close while playing game such as CoC, Darkness Reborn. You'll never played game with this phone. Push notification is suck as hell. No whatsapp notification unless you open up the app. I've been using the phone for 2 days only and I spent some more money to trade in another phone from the same seller.

  • It will auto close HD games when I opened it. I need to restart the phone to be able to play HD games so I am doing it almost every day. This phone body also heats up(gets hot) when i played games. I have other smartphone from other manufacturer (to be precise, it's Asus) and it doesn't get hot if i play the same games as the one I've played on Lenovo Golden Warrior Note 8. The image quality captured by it's camera is good.

  • There is a 2GB RAM version now, you should buy that instead.

  • Like i mentioned before this phone has low free RAM avaiable even though it has 1 gigs of RAM,so if you like to play HD games that consumes lots of RAM it always auto closes..btw from other aspect everthing is good .

  • Hi.. Can we go for this phone? Is it good to go with this mobile? Pls suggest

  • Lagging issues...not so smooth...s939 far better in term of responsiveness...hope lenovo will release update for this model...processor is 64bit but OS only 32bit...

  • this lenovo is amazing.Great cameras,amazing display,fast as a rocket and a battery life over 3 days!!!! LOVE MY LENOVO P.S. i dont need a tablet with this monster!!

  • yeah me to got same problem..is there any new rom i can upgrade

  • Not good to purchase in Malaysia as it does not come with official warranty and local warranty also. Some applications are in Chinese version and seller(mainly online. like LAZADA) does not provide any support.

  • I've bought lenovo a936 last week and i've issue with the RAM..even this phone have 1GB RAM .. it has only 200~300 MB free RAM and 600 MB is used..every time im playing game like Modern Combat 5 or Asphalt 8.. it will automatically closed and return to home screen while playing.. if anyone knows what's the problem please reply me :( .

  • Dual SIM Dual Standby according to Lenovo China.

  • Owww.. i see thank for your reply :)

  • How about this phone

  • A916 can run dual-SIM after you upgrade the firmware and enter a code in the dialer.

  • All Lenovo phones for the Chinese market such as this one comes without Google Play, this has nothing to do with the Android version. The sellers who export them usually install Google Play or you can do it yourself.

  • Does this phone comes with JB firmware or only on KitKat ? im asking this coz i`ve read KitKat firmware from Lenovo Brands doesn't have Google Playstore and all apps are in chinise language .. can someone tell me ?

  • Do this phone run dual sim or like lenovo A916 have 2 sim but run only single sim ?

  • how much does it cost -Us dollar -?

  • Probably not, but you should buy tempered glass protectors to all your phones anyway.

  • no

  • Does it have Gorilla Glass????

  • Yes, the new Lenovo phones all have lots of compromises in terms of sensors, SIM-slots, RAM etc. It seems 2GB RAM, 4G, notification LED, dual mic noise cancellation, dual SIM and e-compass is too much to ask for in one phone. At least their old phones like S8, S920, S930 were fully featured phones. Their new ones, not so much. At least the older A-series phones like A850 had notification led. I would buy ZTE/Nubia if their software didn't suck so bad (the hardware quality too but you can get a bad unit replaced...)

  • Few facts about Note8 before purchase, great phone but do keep in mind. No digital compass No NFC NO OTG NO Notification LED.

  • Proximity sensor, YES.

  • Does this have proximity sensor? If it doesn't then this phone will be just sad

  • Yes.

  • looks are personal and personally i do think mate2 looks better. Performance wise, MT6752 (note8) KO snapdragon400 (mate2) in ALL FIELDS -and that's scientific facts. Get Note8, or a better looking phone with similar performance. Don't go home with snapdragon400 in 2015.

  • mate 2

  • which is better this phone or Huawei mate 2 ?

  • any one know if it has USB OTG?

  • Yes, its removable!

  • evry one tell me battry removble or not

  • 3300 mAh..

  • when launching indonesia

  • Battery mah????

  • I have ordered one aliexpress with 2GB of RAM.

  • Oh my God!I cant wait to get mine.Pls how much is it?I want to be the first person to use one in my country

  • i have to buy

  • Plz rs

  • Hey did this phone come to malaysia...?and it's price...?

  • Dis fone release in 2 version...1gb ram and 2gb ram...a powerful fone but the price is cheapest than other brand..antutu test over 40k...mediatek is the good chipset at lower price...

  • is the battery life good?

  • Its a 64-bit chipset so it may comparable with SD600 or SD800

  • so if it is a note then it has a pen??? L pen like S pen???

  • why you are still stuck in only 1 gig of ram .. lenovo ? that's the only thing that ruined the device for me .

  • Uusual rubbish!

  • everythings is okay except a gig of ram. better buy redmi note.

  • For what reason . . ?? This year Some Of Mediatek powered Smartphones Are Topped well Performed On Antutu Tests . . And the 1.7 ghz Octacore Chip is faster than SD 400 ,

  • hate mediatek

  • now the "Note" name are everywhere!

  • what battery size??
