LG K8 - User Reviews

  • It's a good mid range phone which is user friendly and it shows the prowess of LG brand to make excellent budget phone however the only negative point is that 75% of the phone memory is already full due to pre installed apps.

  • I got this phone in April 2017, from an Orange shop. Looked really promising and the fact that a friend of mine had bought a G3 when it was released and it was still running great, I decided to go with the LG brand, which started to look very promising for me. But the problems started not one week after the acquisition. The phone was restarting either at random, or whenever I opened wi-fi. Storage details were not working properly, besides the disastrous storage space it had, it filled my storage with what was supposedly cache data, because that was the only variable increasing. Lots of times the amount of cache actually deleted did not correspond with the amount displayed in settings. Let me set an example: before going to sleep the phone has 6.50/8GB free space, when you wake up 7,65 is occupied because the cache grew up, so now the phone displays that 1,15GB is used for cache data, however when you delete the cache data it only frees about 50-250MB, depending on luck, so now you are stuck with even less free space than it already had. Another issue is the battery. After about a month it started to go weird. I'm a carefulness freak, especially about phones, I always try to leave it charging exactly as long as it's supposed to and never more or less, I clean the phone on a regular basis etc. Seeing as how the battery drained relatively fast I started using the in-built battery saver. So after my phone was charged, I'd always plug it out then activate battery saver. At some point it began to show my percentage being 100% for as much as an hour after continuous use, then draining very slow. I was very impressed at the beginning. However, as soon as it reached 40% it started plummeting into the abyss. My phone was draining itself in a matter of seconds, from 40% to no battery in less than a minute. Yet a few times if I didn't open it for some time after it drained itself, it would open itself with another 40% that drained as it should. And maybe the biggest issue of them all is the constant softlocks. In two years and a half, this phone has softlocked by itself at least a dozen times. I would leave it next to my bed at night, open and with a percentage close to full (because I didn't want to leave it overnight to charge, I always went to sleep after ensuring that the phone has at least 70% battery then wake up earlier in the morning to leave it to charge). Then, when waking up in the morning, I'd see that my phone is in a neverending bootloop. (I'm sure I don't need to explain what that is) My only solution every single time was to do a factory reset, losing absolutely all of my phone's data, except for the things I had on my SD card, but even so, it was very irritating. And the thing is you can't even predict when it does that. It's just randomly screwing itself, feels like someone has implemented a control chip in it and whenever you feel your life is taking a right turn, that someone feels the need to screw with your well-being for pure satisfaction and enjoyment as they watch you crumble into despair. After two years and a half, my phone finally broke down forever, because my display started freaking out as well. This was the last straw for me. I'm getting a new one and I'll never look back at the LG brand, or at the very least at the K series. It's disastrous. Avoid it as much as you can.

  • If it only had 2 gigs of ram and not have 5/8 of the storage taken up by system...

  • I have used this phone for about a year now This is the worst phone I have ever had. It heats up unnecessarily. The heat can be so much that it can cause a burn. The camera is not dependable. It freezes up from time to time. The video playback is totally undependable. I wouldn't ask anyone to purchase this phone for any reason.

  • Good smartphone for its price, but it has 2 big problems: 1- Battery is bad. Software isn't optimized. It runs out of power before the end of the day. 2- Lack of storage. Only 8 GB internal memory of which 5 for OS and primary app.

  • When I was swapping out SD cards on the phone (2GB to 32GB), the phone restarted itself for some reason. Don't know why it did that.

  • Not browsing well

  • Using this phone 3 years ago and still using it.. This is worst phone.. The battery is very bad, phone can heat easily, lack of storage, stuttering if the phone too heat. 30-40% battery gonna drop And charging from 0%.. Great

  • The LG K8 is alright for a start, I understand people's frustration with it's slowness but to me it's alright. The security is tidy, face ID, Voice Match and Google Assistant - All work perfectly, it might be a pain in the arse but I've had the phone for a year now and I still think it's alright to this day, even the camera quality is fine, but the SD Card Reader can be a bit off but I've had problems with that in the past but now It's OK.

  • The camera is good, performance is also not bad considering price. Except for these, I had horrible experience. The IMEI emptied twice during update, which basically unable everything. I will never buy LG again. Adios.

  • seriously horrible. constant lag and freezing, utterly unusable. makes me want to throw it against the wall every time i use it. using this phone takes away all the pleasure of living and makes me want to kill myself whenever i have to wait 5 min for the google map app to open, then a full minute for the screen to update every time i move the map around. unless you like being tortured 24/7, do not get this phone.

  • Its dumb. The screen randomly will turn off. Screen shits are almost imposible to do. And the camra quality is terible. Lucky im geting a new phone soon. I do not recoment this pjone to anyone

  • Battery is too weak. I do most of the time. Charging and using it with 4g Internet. Very low internal memory.

  • You must have been very lucky to get that much battery life. Mind uses 60 % in 2 hours and I e used the battery savings methods

  • A great budget phone. I have had it for a little over 2 years and I am satisfied with the experience. Storage is a bit on the low side, with about 1,5GBs free and a few apps downloaded. This phone doesn't come with Android Nougat and there are no software updates for it. I don't use the cameras much, but they are decent quality. Design of the phone is great looking and pleasing to the eye, at least for me. The phone also has decent battery life(about 5-6 hours of YouTube and web browsing). Had a few problems with the phone, though. It restarted itself after clearing cache memory. Wouldn't recognize my SIM card after a software update and restarted itself(solved by restarting the phone and reinserting the SIM card) and it would also freeze for a couple of seconds after clearing out a great amount of cache memory(usually an amount greater than the total available storage space). Overall, this is a decent and cheap phone with everything that's necessary.

  • I got the phone in 2017 within two months I dropped it and the screen shattered and in 9 months I got it fixed and 2 weeks ago (almost 3) I dropped It again but the damage is very minor also on Christmas eve I was "tracking" Santa for my nieces and all of a sudden the phone froze and went down to 3% and it was at 100% when I started "tracking" Santa

  • UK version - great budget phone my mams had hers for just over 2 years and still works.. Only 8GB Storage isn't that good.. And shes just recently got an sd card which is easy to put in. Decent camera for the price.. Selfi camera is a bit s***. Runs pretty well. Fast.. Can't go upto oreo but does nougot. Gaming time around 1 - 2 hours. No fingerprint scanner can't do 1080p just 720p and under. 1.5 gb of ram.. If you have any questions just ask :)

  • Worst phone ever, serious lag and locks up for no reason. Screenshot near impossible and dumb as is the on off switch location. SLG K8 users should mount a class action.

  • me too

  • I agree. This phone is pathetic. Super slow, freezes constantly, wont let me answer calls, drops in and out when I am on a call. Ridiculous

  • Battery is great. I've had the phone on for a day and it's still at 80%

  • Good phone, never had any problems with it. I am quite happy for last 2 years with it.

  • Best phone I've ever had, Amazing value.

  • good old phone. I use it for two years now

  • I have also but I am confused

  • How use quick circle flip cover with LG k8 ?Watch isn't working.

  • I hate everything about this phone! Complete waste of my money. The k10 is waaayyyy better and I am sorry that I ended up with his one.. I have to restart it at least four times a day and the startup is about 10 mins!!! It's ridiculous. I want my money back...

  • Useless phones: LG 3, LG K8 useless ! I am going back to my FLIP PHONE. I have purchased 5 within 2 months. not safe to use. I always feel that someone else is using my phone .

  • the phone has not really given me what I needed from a smartphone low battery capacity low internal storage low back camera features Ok weight Ok very slim love it Bad experience so far Phone in all is not good enough Greetings from Nigeria

  • Can anyone please explain to me why lg k8 does not save all sms ... For example, I wanted to check a sms from last year and I know that I did not delete it ... but there is nowhere ... later I check and notice that I can not find more then one old sms, what can I do to find them?

  • Oh, actually 2 stars from 5 because Gorilla class really saved its life. Only good thing about it.

  • Phone is very slow. I bought extra SD card to copy all apps on that and still phone is sooo slow! Cameras are not good. Pictures are not sharp, always need to edit these to get better results. Disappointed.

  • Phone is good but not best.Front camera is very good.But Back camera is bad.Why? Battery life is good.The phone has a nice look compere with other this price range phones.Internal storage is low.Please release Android Oreo Go edition to this phone.I like this phone and LG company.

  • I hate this phone. Low storage, normal battery life, a bit slow, very not durable. Cracked into pieces when i dropped it on floor covered by a thin carpet . I even cut my finger while using it. Right now i am still using it due to lack of phones, but i placed a layer of transparent tape across the phone. :(

  • I bought this phone on oct 2016, since then I never had problems on the software. The main problem is battery, it lasts about 6-7 hours. And in some occasions, the microphone stops working. Perhaps some of you should try using lite versions of facebook and messenger. I discovered that Facebook drains the battery fastly. Greetings from Peru.

  • can anyone help me,, my k 8 lg always notified me that the internal memory was full, I transfer some of its apps to external memory but still no way to free my memory unless I uninstall apps, what should I do?

  • did anyone know will it ever come out android 7 nougat for this model. thx

  • Bad phone. Dropped it from around 1 metre and screen cracked... Poor storage and battery and speed. I hate it...even my Samsung Galaxy Express I8730 is more durable and faster than this...

  • This phone is painful to use. Good luck on playing grossing games, unless you are the most patient, you'll have to write a bad review. Don't buy this phone, please consider this.

  • Same for me u have like 1.5 gb available couse system And pre installed apps take other part of the storage

  • LG k8 worst phone i've ever. Used in my life . lacks of storage . internet conection problem . The main problem is storage problem

  • this the worst phone ever...i regret buying it with my money....very very low on storage and not okay camera...bad one from LG this time

  • This phone is An ABSOLUTE PIECE OF GARBAGE. Absolutely no internal memory can only install about 4 apps before it runs out. And this phone IS NOT UPGRADABLE to ANDROID 7.0. This article is WRONG

  • this mobile is very poor than other battery charge sever is poor

  • Put your apps into Google bookmark, access from there. Will save you some storage

  • Had all same probs. Same poor advice O2 walthamstow. Sold me sd card, they thought it would expand memory. Constantly running out of memory. O2 shop at Tottenham Hale were more helpful managed to free up enough memory to make it useable. Most apps are stored as Google bookmarks not ideal.

  • This is the worst phone I have every owned. Storage is all taken up by lg operating system, this causes the phone to become useable. I have cleared all the apps I can. Moved everything I can move to the 32g external sd card, disabled any basic apps. I now only have phone, contacts and messaging working and the phone still cannot cope. I have another year of contract to run, I will never have another lg, will never go back to the shop which "helped" me choose this phone, they knew the problem but did not say.

  • best phone really i use it now no problem found it is a best phone frends

  • best budget phone sturdy plastic material , strong signal and gps , durable battery the only drawback is storage and notification light but can be tricked by unlocking sd memory now its time to change...

  • It for casual using. No Facebook or Whatapps even any game too otherwise it will drain your battery faster and slow your phone performance day by day. But who care? Is a cheap phone. And i install Facebook Lite to reduce Ram working.

  • download Activity Launcher from playstore, then inside the app choose All activities, then browse to Settings->KnockON. It will open hidden settings page for LG KnockON/ double tap wake.

  • Very bad phone concerning internal storage. Most 'heavy' apps can't be moved to sd csrd. Very frustrating to use.

  • It only has 8-16 gb of storage minus the built in apps on the phone and the application you have installed are actually pretty heavy

  • I can't recommend this phone at all. I have had it for half a year and nowadays the phone always turns off at 30% claiming that the battery has run down. Storage is full even though I have 3 apps only - Snapchat, Spotify and Facebook. This phone doesn't allow me to download any other apps because "your storage is full, delete some applications below". If I delete something, I still don't get enough memory to download anything. Camera is not that good. I'm so fed up with this phone and the lack of memory, that's why I have already ordered a new phone with 64gb...

  • Good and cheap, but almost always short of memory when you are downloading some app from app store. Cleaners does not help and you can't make external sd card as default to download apps. All you can do is to move apps to sd after you install them. Really sucks on memory issue, but other than that is great.

  • Nice one! Need to spend times to find out everything but it's OK! Memory is OK,speed,display.....

  • Freed up some memory by putting most app into bookmarks, can bookmarks be brought to front screen, save going via google. Found out when xfer apps to sd only part of app moves most left still on internal. I was told by O2 to buy a least 32G sd, i have just over 1G on it.

  • Booked appointment with E17 guru, three times, each time turned up to find him not there. Complained to 2022 O2 customer service, the said would investigate and call me back within 3 days, still waiting 2 weeks later. Two things to avoid O2 and LG

  • Just took phone off stand by to find phone receiving data upgrade. When finished internal on memory on red at 7.8. If memory wasnt bad enough what do i do now. Was reg deleting cache data, google searches and histloy to keep internal at a workable 7.5. On advice from O2 installed 32g sd card which is storing a massive 1.3g, but what do they know (not a lot) LG customer service not much help either 😞😞😞&#128­542;😞😞😞&­#128542;😞😞😞&­amp;#128542;😞😞

  • How to upgrade to 7.0 ?

  • Hi there Colin! I had exactly same experience with the phone as you had unlocking from at&t. Tried different networks 4g ready too really! But it's been over a year ago since your writing here. So, how is the phone eventually then?

  • I think this is a very good budget phone. I recently bought this phone for 90$ in a sale. Very good looking, easy to use! Smooth performance.. Camera is 8Mp but not good enough. But the front camera is pretty good.

  • Lg cust service say sd card can not be used as or with internal its just for photos and music and the odd app that may transfer. Shame o2 e17 didnt know that when they sold me the phone and then sold me the sd when i complained of lack of memory

  • Further to previous lack of internal is now critical, can not update any LACK OF MEMORY can not receive e mails LACK OF MEMORY Three apps on internal and three on sd (1.14g used of 32g) not even apps on sd will update LACK OF MEMORY. O2 not interested they advised pay £95 for upgrade when i said i would not waste any more on O2 (20 years a customer. They asked if i wanted my PUC code NOW.

  • my k8 dont have nfc ?

  • Search on you tube. Video to show how it fits. The sd card fits in over the top of SIM card.

  • Search on you tube. Video to show how it fits. The sd card fits in over the top of SIM card.

  • Anybody can tell me, how to disabled double tap wake in lg k8?.Please important for me.

  • When I update my phone when it comes to updating it, I'm sure you'll find that the mobile is plugged in. When I confirm that message, it says that you're using the latest version of Android, and my Android 6 and the above are the Android 7 brush. Can anyone guide me?

  • According to LG customer services sd can not be used as internal its a place to dump music and photos etc. Most apps will not go to sd. Was told this is not a phone for someone wanting to store own apps. Shame they didnt tell O2

  • Still got memory problems nothing updates even app on memory card. Latest is i cant get emails because you guessed it NOT ENOUGH STORAGE Deleted app off storage card that not using that gave me a little bit of room interally and my emails came up so now have7.6g internal 1.15g sd. Only have 3 apps internal all the rest that used to sit nicely on my Nokia i have to store those on bookmarks. A real step forward, thanks O2 for the UPGRADE

  • Totally agree phone is rubbish am being told twice a day storage is full. I hate it total easte of time and money

  • Can someone please say how to put SD card as default storage on this phone,pleeasee...I am desperate 😳😳

  • The battery 2125 mah only for lg k8, but iphone 7 is 1960 mah. So which better?....

  • No it does not. This is because to support vr, a phone requires a gyroscope.

  • Great phone! I didn't like the amount of bloatware considering the limited memory, but otherwise loved it. It came with me while running in the rain, I dropped it multiple times (had a protective casing though) and it kept working fine. This phone was my computer and data centre for 2 years.

  • this is a nice phone

  • Hi, to take a screenshot, you must be press for two seconds both "power and volume down" buttons. I hope it was usefull to you. Best Regards

  • You can also press and hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time in order to screen shot

  • If you want screen shot / capture in lg k8, swipe down, choose capture and save in quick memo or gallery. Hope this helped. Mylvee

  • How to use an screenshot of this phone.

  • the battery backup too low fedup with this need tro charge minimum 2 times a day that too with 3g net work .. iam not impresive

  • I am really frustrated with LG K8 - not enough internal memory, has SD card slot but it is not integrated. Memory if full while I have more than 50GB of SD card. They should recall/refund money on these phones!

  • Thanks tried didnt work but have lost facebook and spider which were on sd but will not reload, you guessed it........lack of memory 😡

  • Done all that make no odds the onl ans is they should not issue a phone with such limited memory adding sd card doesnt help as not many apps will xfer and when they are there like facebook because of lack or memory O2 think about your customers and offer a change

  • If you go to battery storage then to internal storage go down to cache and clear it you will get more storage

  • The SD card can be set to internal storage on this phone. Go to your Settings and find the Storage and USB option. Your SD card should appear under Portable Storage. Once you click on it you will be brought to this file manager where you can explore files. Click on the three dots on the top right corner and select Settings. There you will an option called Format which will delete everything on your SD card and set it as part of the internal storage. I haven't actually tried this myself because i don't want to delete all my data. I hope this helped.

  • well its not the camera its you that cannot take pictures just kidding btw isn't the sd card could be changed to be default storage in android 6.0

  • Does it supports vr? (eg youtube 360 videos)

  • Method to use SD card as internal, functional, on XDA developers site. Tested.

  • crappy software, connectivity's real buggy, occasionally loosing internet connection even when connected to wifi, same if connected with data, not a heavy user so battery last a day for me but still i'd say batery's a crap, regarding storage you can use adoptable storage but with most of the apps im using i still only get around 500mb internal storage left since not all apps can be moved to the sd card even if adoptable storage is activated.

  • OK. The storage is not the best thing in the world of this phone. Otherwise it is the best phone ever..

  • I've had my phone for a while and really like it, but since the Android updated this week sometimes i do not get the calls they go right to voice mail. i never had this problem before, Is there anyone else out there with this issue?

  • I like this phone, a lot. Maybe I don't exactly love it, but its a good phone for the money. Out the box, storage isnt great. But...its not hard to enable Android's adopted storage (merge SD card with phone's). See XDA. I've come to this from a Moto G2. Faster. Thinner. Better screen. Much better screen. Better build quality. It has a removeable battery.

  • The LG K8 i just had my delivered today it is the best smartphone i have ever had it is better the LG G2 andf the HTC 320 and the Samsung Galaxy J1 ace i have no issues with this phone to me it is 5 stars i have had a lot of phones in my time ranging from samsung galaxy note 3 right up to Iphone 4s this phone beats them hands down

  • Biggest turd on sale. Battery life crap Storage crap.. Come on LG this is not the sort of goods you usually turn out. Unbranded smartphones are infinitely better at fraction of the cost

  • Piece of shit phone Battery is poor No storage Doesn't charge properly

  • on my k8 when i turn on data it didnt display data on or off. but data on. what is the problem?

  • I think its awesome, besides the storage capacity.... Its good.

  • nice handy phone with good specs...start comparison from price

  • This is the worst phone I ever owned! It won't recognize a sd card at all and I am down to deleting everything.. not enough space to drop some cat hairs let alone swing one! I hate it

  • The battery is a horror. One day its good the next I shut off 'dead". I hate the way I have to respond to a call. Swiping it doesn't always work the first time

  • Vs j2 prime?...

  • Ther are only 2 problem that its does not really play usb and the battery is not good

  • It is true that the internal storage is 8 gb but the problem is about 4.2 gb of them is consumed by the system and it's apps...!

  • very nice security... lg k8 have smart lock. I love it .. its perfect

  • Weak battery for lg k8. Hopely got update to v7 nougat.

  • There Might No Be Any System Update For K8 (2016). Due The Next Batch K8 (2017) With Nougat Out Of The Box.

  • Any news about update to Android 7 Nougat ?

  • Great phone, nice design and features. Just the weak battery. 2125mAh

  • Mine is working perfectly fine. I have dead trigger 2 and a couple more games. I have facebook and instagram. I actualy dont know what is causing problems on your lg k8. I just love this phone. And the edgy screen.

  • Just buy the 800 USD phones. Dont expect much on a 100USD phone

  • I just bought this phone three days ago. it works well. I could use several social media properly, the cameras was quite good but not too bad and the network connection is stable for 3G or 4G. It also work fast and it didn't heavy of such stuff. I like it for that kind of price for this phone👍

  • worst phone.dont buy it. worst camera experience. i think lg conmpny cheat buyers for this fucking phone with this price

  • I totally agree. Hugely disappointed. Facebook and Twitter are the only optional apps I have. They are enough to kill it even with a big sd card. Do not buy this phone.

  • I've been using this phone for about two months by now, everything is fine except the storage. it always says "insufficient storage" when I'm trying to install a new app. except for this issue, the phone is not that bad. good camera, good quality display, and good battery life. but the sound is not loud and clear. worthy piece of hardware for it's price.

  • This phone have good specs but nevertheless the front camera does not have good sharpness vs other similar devices.

  • When this phone updated to nougat?

  • I cant connect my LG K8 to pc. And i cant see usb configuration settings such as charge only , mttp...so what shoudl i do now??

  • Simple fix to this. All you need is ADB and a couple lines of command prompt. Just Google 'How to enable adoptable storage on Android 6.0'and search for a solution. No point complaining about a problem if you haven't even tried to fix it......

  • Its not the phones fault some apps can be moved while others can not be moved. Its up to the developers to allow the apps to be moved to the SD card

  • Lg k8 is a dreadful mobile phone the storage is shocking tells me every few days insignificant sforage, Utter rubbish just the fact how appalling the storage space is.

  • I were just told that this(every lg?) phone is not supporting storing apps in sd card. So it lacks functionality even my old Ericsson with android 2.3.X had. Other than that the phone is fine but if only I knew that earlier I wouldn't have bought that phone at all as it seems pretty basic for me...

  • You live in the UK? UK version has 1.5GB RAM

  • I bought this phone two days ago. It is K8 LTE and it has 1GB RAM only. But it works fine for now. I like it as the price was good.

  • It is not the phone's fault. Not all the apps support transfer to the SD card.

  • Actually it can be set to adoptable storage. First go to Settings then go into USB and Memory and click on your SD card (if you have one). Then click the three white dots in the corner and click on settings. Then right below the eject option click on formate or something like that and from there you should be able to formate your SD card. Of course i haven't tried this myself because i dont wanna delete all my data but it should work

  • Actually dear, the k8 doesn't work properly with an SD card. You can transfer the app's data, but not the app itself. I bought a 34Gb card and cant even use it because the phone downloads the apps to the internal storage only. I would transfer my SD card to adoptable storage but the k8 cant do that either (typing this with the k8)

  • No dear this phone is remarkable this phone also transfer the apps easily you just try to under stand go to apps setting then u will found how to transfer apps in memory card

  • yes is does

  • complete trash, cant move any apps to memory card and bcause of that the phone eats up its iternal memory after installing facebook and messenger basicly... add 1 or 2 more apps and your done...

  • Did someone try the new software update? It's about 389 MB

  • Battery is very poor don't buy

  • I have owned this since the day that it was released to stores in my area. It was Priced at £119 which i thought was a bit pricey because of the specs the phone offered , i had enough money to buy a moto g4 play. I was coming off a lg g3. But i chose this because it almost had everything the Moto g4 was offering for half the price , so i chose the lg. I can tell you i have no regrets because its still as fast AS DAY 1 , the display is beautiful. The camera isn't the best but i can tell you its the best for the price as many phones of this bracket have 5 mp cameras . These were the good points the bad points are that the back is made of plastic, and thats all

  • but this phone is not good i had this phone for 6 month !! and that didn't work Correctly...

  • Huge Shoutout to my men K8

  • As it is for someone i personally like the lenovo zuk z1 check it out you will like it, but this phone isn't that bad to not buy, you just can't do major gaming on it:)

  • Thats seens what I think about lgk8

  • I have LG K8 about a year and it is great. It works just fine, battery lasts for days if you do not use it too much, but if you always 0 - 24 watching vids, playing games, reading, of course it will run out in few hours, that is called common sense. Only problem is that I cannot take vids with light on my front camera. I always have about 2GB of free space, so phone never slows down. Internal memory needs to be filled with apps manually, but I do not see problem with that, I am not lazy. Cam is good, better on regural than on Retrica or any app, it takes about two seconds to open any page or document. My experiences are positive.

  • nice phone...low budget... you get a perfect lg phone.....for everyday used . those people not sattisfied...buy the expensive one....its free to choice what you like guys......peace man!!!

  • One of the problem in LGk8 its has a internal memory of 8gb and everytime u download any apps u have to transfer it to sd card but at the last moment u will notice that it consumed more space in ur internal memory even u transfer it to sd card and some apps there is no option to put them on sd. You will think where is the 8gb gone? I got fb, msgr and antivi apps all of them already transfer to sd but the memoriy drop to 500mb. Alwhere are those 7gb?? But phone is running good and perfect.

  • please don't buy this phone. front camera is useless and sim 2 is 2G.battery is not good

  • Not really even though it is smooth around the edges

  • OK this phone is all around trash just read all the bad comments and you will understand on and PS: prepare for constant rebooting when you get this piece of crap

  • Try using lg backup to backup your data and then factory reset the phone

  • Is there any way to reset my phone without deleting all of my contacts? It has been acting up by not showing my lock screen, changing my background, and it wont let me use the home button or the button to the right of it.

  • Ok i found a temporary fix for the app issues in the recent apps screen it works by refreshing the launcher by unistalling a large app or by reseting it by switching launchers it works for some time and is my only way to get the apps working properly

  • No only the sides are curved while the actual screen is not

  • Great now the problem with the camera has now spread over ALL of my apps now they all take 2 taps to open in the multitasking menu

  • Is this phone has a edged display like in samsung S6 edge?

  • It is a good mobilephone The camera is good Wifi is ok and have no problem The battry is not good in best condition u can use it just 24 hours At all k8 with android 6 is good

  • It's fine this phone is trash anyway like seriously yesterday i had a battery problem when my phone's battery usage was stuck on "collecting battery information please wait" for like 2 hours i tried plugging it in to charge but nothing and then it shut off at 30% and refused to charge for a few minutes until i put the charger in a different socket like i swear if i encounter another problem with this phone i'm gonna send it in for repairs also a month ago this phone started auto restarting on me and i had to do a factory reset which fixed the problem basically what i'm trying to say is that this phone sucks and is not reliable at all

  • i have no problems with that. ive just checked that. i sorry guy...

  • Apparently the camera fixed itself and now works fine even when opened in multitasking :P

  • Does anyone have a problem with the camera in the multitasking menu? When ever there isn't a app in the background besides the camera it always takes two taps to open the camera while in the multitasking menu this has started happening to me since the v10e jun 30 update and i dont know what the cause of this bug is i may try to delete the camera's data and restart the phone to see if it fixes anything if anyone knows the fix and issue please let me know

  • Its a good phone I have one and it works great.

  • Do you think that I should buy this Phone

  • let the battery die then charge the phone

  • There is no notification light on lg k8,it is just a sensor :/

  • Hello,i need your help. I want to turn on nitification LED light(next to front camera) an i don´t know how do this.

  • does dual sim model support 4G on sim 1? anyone pls?

  • go to file manager open phone storage select and copy/cut items , touch tha home icon there is the option of sd card or phone storage open the sd card storage and paste the item where you want

  • There is a transfer feature in settings

  • Not a good phone. Wifi stops working frequently (have to turn on airplane mode and then turn off to get it back up), the camera takes awful pictures, and when typing it suggests emojis, with no way to turn that off. In addition, there is no personal dictionary, so it periodically "forgets" words. Would not recommend, I'm almost glad my screen cracked so I can get a different phone.

  • I have an LG-K84G. Unfortunately the storage space is only 8GB so I added an SDcard. Can you tell me how to transfer items to the card. is there a way that pictures , videos etc get transferred automatically ? is there a way at all ?

  • Hello , my lg k8 lte charging is so slow and sometimes decreasing what can i do?

  • I was wondering can u turn off the vibrate off the alarm clock as i cant find it and it is doin my head cos i cant find it

  • LG K8don US Cellular does NOT allow memory extension. Kinda pisses me off.

  • Your're right, AT&T version weight is exact 142 g.

  • It does have that option, you just need to do that via ADB

  • it is at 50 buck son amazon

  • It's definitely not 157gr as stated above. It is lighter than that and on some other websites it is listed as 140gr

  • sounds like got a lot of negative reviews but for around 15 pound more i have the lg pro2 it blast this one out of the water ive had it for over a year its just has good as your high end mobiles a 5.9inch brilliant screen just read the specs purchased off ebay go buy it you wont be disappointed

  • j2

  • Why is there no sim included

  • is this 4g network?

  • Quite good phone for the cost, maybe not the best but certainly not the worst either. It has bad camera and battery is also an issue (can hold 1day at max if you don't play games much) and camera even though it is 8mpx (at 4:3 aspect ratio) has really bad low light performance. Also note: Memory size like with most android phones at this here is whole system memory, so system itself will use up majority of it (you're left with around 3.5gb). LG disabled adoptable memory by default so if you want to enable it you have to do a bit of searching online (You wont have to root your phone for that btw, just few commands typed from the PC ) It does not have light sensor so you have to adjust brightness manually.

  • Double tap the screen

  • Worst phone to buy..I bought it n its a headache since then..first 8gb internal is a spam..you permit to use only 3GB bcz 5 gb is system occupied..then marshnallow dont suoport external storage to be set as internal which is brightest feature of marshmallow. I used lenovo for 2 years..n i miss it..

  • What is the best phone lg K8 or samsung j2

  • I got the blue one. Nice. 60+ hours with wifi/mobile data and without them combined :)

  • The phone is super or not ??

  • I bought this phone LG-K8 24 hours ago and sick of it already. Whenever I press the power button to unlock the screen it takes 6 to 10 secs to appear. Don't know how many users have faced this problem or its just my set particularly. Wifi goes off quite often, sometimes I have to restart the device in order to make it work again. Please do let me know if someone has faced any of the above mentioned issues.

  • if you wish to buy a new phone.initially think about the features what you need.lg k8 is'n so bad.i'm using it for 2 weeks.camera and battery are the main drowbacks of this.i use a camera rarely.so it isn't an issue for me.please don't depend on user reviews.check for the features that you want..this isn't bad as a midrange phone.don't try samsung either.they are the worst.

  • it doesn't have 5ghz wifi support at least in 6735 chipset model

  • if you have problem with low storage you can enable Android 6.0 adopted storage but it's not enable default. you have to enable it manually !!! just by search the internet you can find manual instructions

  • the main camera program is so bad . use Google camera previous versions and finally camera will really better .

  • I bought this phone 2 days back..its internal is 8gb which is 5gb pre-occupied by system you get to use only 3gb..camera is also not that good..I waisted my money..if you wana spend this much, try samsung or huawei instead

  • So slow Internter 15 sec to Open Page ..... Theres Faster Shit

  • Im posting comment using my k8 the camera is horrible

  • If you have the money for this phone on hand, just buy a Chinese knockoff. It will cost you less for a better phone if you do a bit of research. Right, onto the phone. Pros - The screen is pretty damn great, very responsive and quick, decent selfie camera for the price (but could be better). The SoC used in this device is good, with plenty of grunt for any games you might want to play. Neutral - 1.5GB of RAM, okay for the price but a Chinese brand would have more. Dual sim card variants, which is helpful for people who don't want to carry 2 handsets (mine is only single card though. Have to carry around my old brick as well). Cons - The camera is absolute GARBAGE. My Prestigio 4322 takes better pictures than this thing, and that phone is 4 years old and cost LESS when it was new. The memory - LG has done something borderline retarded (and I don't use that word lightly) by blocking the ability to merge SD and internal storage. I get planned obsolescence, but this is just idiotic. You have access to ~2GB of storage on the 8GB model - this would be considered good, if it was 2006. Now, you download Skype and a game and you're out of memory. There is a way around this, but it took me a whole day to do it, and I am well above the "average" for computer savvy-ness (Not meant to brag, meant to show how much of a hassle it would be for most people). The solution is the one used on Samsung phones (as they went this route as well), and can be found with a quick google search on how to merge SD and internal memory for Samsung phones. Overall - It's not a bad phone, but if you don't care about "brand recognition" (as it should be), then you should just get a Chinese brand phone for around the same money. The camera is a total deal-breaker for me (too late now, already signed the contract. I should have checked first, but how was I supposed to expect such a horrible camera in a phone from 2016?).

  • Horrible horrible camera. I thought since i havent shoped for a phone in 5 years cameras are all decent. My 3 dollar chinese website webcam takes better pictures. Not to mention my 6 year old sony xperia. I am very dizzapointed. I would return the phone nbut i dont think i have a good basis for refund.

  • LG K8 should get Nougat update too, according to rumors but LG haven't said anything officially yet.

  • I had an LG G3. Had to have it replace under warranty because touch screen went out. Then, just a couple of weeks ago, the back light went out. Screen was completely Black. But no warranty anymore and not Upgrade time. I have always loved LG. However, knew I had to get inexpensive phone. Got the Samsung Galaxy J3V. I could not be happier. It does everything my G3 did with a few exceptions. This Samsung J3V was definitely the way to go.

  • Same problem with my k8,and now dont work 3g only work slow mobile internet,sorry for bad english

  • Android 6.0 has Adoptable storage option in which it takes a memory card and makes it part of the main storage to expand memory greatly. However this is a non removable option, as if removed your phone may not work correctly. Keep that in mind.

  • I like the phone - display, quite quick moving between features, etc. The enormous let down is the pitiful 8GB memory which is not enough to support its own updates. I have Facebook, messenger and Twitter - FB and Messenger are moved over to SD card with all photos and videos - so only Twitter along with original features of phone, with 7.2..something left. I have had to delete google apps to free up some space, just so that the phone is able to do what it should do. Not fit for purpose sadly.

  • Was wondering why the sys data is taking up so much space on my k8...i have 5 apps on this thing and zero space left...and when i go to put apps on the sd card only a small fraction actually goes to the card.

  • This phone is the biggest piece of shit i have ever owned. Every time i switch from from data to Wifi i have to pull the battery out and restart the phone. Its not even a month old yet. Dont buy this phone its total junk. Having many more issues eith it as welk

  • Yes quite true, low memory!!! you are actually working on the knife edge.... I wished on the expanded memory slot....

  • Lol

  • this phone is shit, can't make panoramic photos

  • Yes its a real phone for some one going for a low budget. As a Samsung, Sony high end user, for a change this phone does all the basics one needed from a high end Phone. Sick on software updates and repair costs if needed, just use this and throw.

  • I bought d lg k8 recently (october 2016) and i must say, it impress me in certain areas, like d emails, the documents handling, filing and navigating around and among apps. Yet the glass screen is more than fragile. It breaks at d first fall, and i still dont knw how to get it fixed. Though i knw LG has a good after sales arrangement. Joe, Lagos Nigeria.

  • Now i am thinking to buy LG G3 or G4 or V10. LG K8 is the best budgeted phone and all features are awesome. Even touch is very smooth and no lags. This is the first time in my life that I bought LG Mobile and really highly satisfied.

  • Yes u said true...best low budgeted phone...

  • Overall this set is awesome. Just memory is low. Touch is very smooth. Screen resolution is very nice. Light weight and very sexy set...

  • Is it possible to get the 5 ghz wifi?

  • Why lthe lg k8 lte does not support the 5ghz wifi? Pls. Answer

  • Why the lg k8 lte does not support the 5ghz wifi?

  • But why does it exist next to the front camera , for what does it works ?

  • I hawe LG K8 and its awsome all app can be transvered to SD card games work perfect no lag batteri its not thet bad if i dont play last all day with a lot of tolking and sms so i love the phone :)

  • Yes u can move app to sd card

  • Lg k8 dont hawe notification light: (

  • I want to ask about notification light on the screen.Does it works and how to turn on ?

  • Try the website to see if this phone will work in other countries bands (3G & 4G) . I face the same problem with my lenovo phone when i came to USA.

  • I have problems connecting to the Internet with the LG K8 which I didn't have with my Samsung. The phone alternates between connecting and saved. I have to keep ringing Virgin Media to change the signal so I can connect. For this reason I would not recommend the phone.

  • I returned the phone because of the same issue. Its not the right device for high end users. I got a G5 instead.

  • Thank you!

  • I have the LG phoenix 2. Had it unlocked through the code given by at&t. I then put a gsm sim card from here in Philippines and I only get EDGE. Itried using different sims, I even bought LTE variants and nothing worked. I don't know what to do.

  • why is it that my LG K8 takes 5gb only for its software in the internal memory?Iam left with only 2gb,and application cannot be transfered to m. sd card

  • Everything perfect, the camera, speed, 2 sim cards. But low internal memory and the battery does not last very long. When the useing the phone and internet the phone last 4 hours. :(

  • One of the top leading mobile phones that in a cheaper price

  • Its good to buy it or no ty.

  • any one answer about k8 how is working talking with net sim

  • Which one is better LG K8 or Samsung Galaxy J3

  • I love my LG K8! I read lots of bad comments about the battery not lasting very long but I bought it anyway because the good comments outweighed the bad. Truth is, my battery lasts a long time while I'm using it. Very pleased with my phone.

  • the j5 is the better

  • how isworking internet and call good or bad

  • Absolutely agree. Phone is in a word crap. Got very little on internal memory but do not have enough memory to use email or update applications where necessary. Really disappointed. Bought it from Virgin. They won't do anything about it, basically was told it was my problem. I have had mine for about 6 weeks.

  • Best price/value is K8, K10 is little too expensive, at least here in Finland and european version of K10 is less powerful than K8. J5 is good but again, quite steep price for an low-end phone and K8 is more powerful and cheaper than J5 (again, here in Finland but it really depends on where you live regarding prices).

  • the J5 is lil bit better then k8 in camera and battery life

  • which one is better LG K8/LG K10/Samsung J5?

  • My thoughts exactly :) About Nougat update, it seems this phone is eligible for that update as right now, Nougat only seems to be compatible with with the chipsets that has openGL ES 3.1 and many potential devices like HTC One M8 and Sony Xperia Z3 are left outside because those devices don't support 3.1 :/

  • My private phones are almost all Motorola's and the latest 2 were the Moto G and then a Moto G 3rd Gen and they were great. As a company phone I got the Huawei P8Lite and that one isn't all that bad either so when I dropped the Moto G3 I thought "why not?" and bought the LG K8. Big mistake! Why? Well, I've had it for 8 weeks and these are my issue's: 1. The button on the back is already showing some cracks. 2. When calling someone you can here the speaker cracking the entire time. 3. The phone has only 8GB of space and more than half is already used by the OS and stuff I don't want but can't delete. Sure I can strip it down to the root but come on, stop with all those stupid apps and stuff. If I want it, I'll download it. 4. camera isn't that great by day, and forget about making pictures at night. 5. It's slippery 6. Small inperfection on the edge of the cover. I removed it because it cut my finger. 7. Keep a powerbank on stand by because battery life isn't great. After 8 weeks I'm fed up with this phone and I ordered the Moto G4 Plus. It shows, you get what you pay for.

  • I have it for a month, and I love it. The only bigger problem is battery life. If you're using it a lot, it will go from 100% to 0% in few hrs. But expect that, PHONE IS AWESOME. Will it get Nougat update??

  • The processing power is awesome. Really slick usability. 2 big problems: watch the battery. Disable functions you're not using or the phone will die in hours. But the biggest issue: system data uses half the internal storage. Once a few standard apps are installed such as Spottify, facebook, instagram, etc there is NO SPACE LEFT!!! Even when you move apps to external storage (I have 16gb) they still use internal storage for some functions. Really frustrating. Can't load any more apps!

  • good

  • this device has some type of glass protection????

  • With a big sd card and moving all apps in the usb storage i have loved this phone i gpt it for 111 euros

  • Yeah, I also experience this knock code issue. I had this same problem with cheap LG I previously owned - LG optimus L80....

  • this happens when you tap somewhere in already typed text, after you type in second character, keyboard inserts the word right of cursor in the place of that second character... very annoying bug...

  • Doesn't it have notification light

  • It doesnt have notification light

  • Its good phone only i dont see notification lith no signal on missed call or mesage

  • Have this phone for 4 days. great display, 4g works fine, i dont play games so i cant comment on that, camera for its price range not bad, but battery life really sux,in 14 hours: 10min call, 2hours browsing, 30min youtube, no games, no texting, internet turn off when not using, all updates disabled and thats it

  • not as good as the G3 but CPU performance-wise seems close, considering the amount of ram is less that makes perfect sense. i don't know about the G4 though.

  • This phone really is useless as the built memory and pre installed aps leave it unusable and unable to do any updates.

  • Internal Storage: 8 GB, System File: 4 GB Is this Marshmallow phone support Adoptable Storage? I didn't find the menu yet.

  • Regarding the battery issues some are complaining about, any phone connected via 3G or LTE will drain the battery faster. Also, if the battery uses SIO technology (LG proprietary) it may the days or even weeks to "stabilize".

  • Strange phone. One part its awesome second not. 1. Battery drains too fast. When you are connected to 4g. Maximum 5 or 6 hours. 2. Knock code is working with bugs. 2 weeks it was responsible. After you have to knock like a woodpecker 5 or even 6 times when it responses. Sometimes it just dead so i have to use back button to unlock my screen 3. Lg started to freeze and already rebooted several times during last 2 days. 4. When wifi is on sometimes network cell connection looses its signal

  • Keyboard is bugged - I've turned all autocorrect related options off but still it occasionally melts words together and rearranges letters within already typed words. Besides, backspace erases whole words very fast, I often delete a lot more than I wanted..

  • It an ok phone. The battery really dies fast. I had the note3, then a cheapie prepaid, now this in the last few months due to a move. In the 2 min it took to write this the battery went from 6 to 3%

  • Bought 1 cannot find contacts

  • Its a nice essy to use phone but the battery only last 6 hours if used consistently

  • It's much better

  • I have had the k8 for a month now and I love it.Really easy to use.Easy to operate. Would recommend this mobil to anyone.

  • I have put a 32GB card in and it works fine. The only problem is internal storage isn't supported with SD cards on this phone.

  • I bought this phone month ago and I am absolutely frustrated, still cannot believe that camera app has zero options!!! White ballance is essential and there is none! Reddish-purple flowers look blue on this phone.

  • its very very good phone i like it

  • the spec is same with magna

  • Hey! This phone has gyroscope?

  • Can someone give me a honest rate of this phone? I know for it's price that it's great but throw the price out for a minute and just rate it as a phone. I'm 21 and so I do a lot on my phones. Does the V8 at least stack up equally with the average phones out today like a lg g3, g4 or is it worse?

  • It has manual focus. Just use two fingers and swipe to do that

  • I bought myself an LG K8 yesterday, i think it's very nice, it runs nice, really the only thing is the battery, it drains fast when playing pokémon go, last only about 5hrs, but overall, im fucken happy plus nice price 4 stars

  • Dual sim.

  • Its not about megapixels or quality of the photo. But its about control on your camera, nothing iso setting (my old java phone have that), manual focus (the old LG L70 is have that), choices quality of photo (maybe someone want to take medium quality photo, not only in best quality for little storage need). If you only use your camera for selfie or only take photo for fun. This smartphone is good. But if you a photographer that need mobile camera for fast using anf a little control for your camera (yes a little, best camera control in android is still LG g4, and maybe g5) this smartphone camera is suck.

  • Can somebody tell me about battery life please?

  • Is it dual or uni sim ???

  • I bought lg k8 two weeks ago.so far so good...and bencmark antutu i got 30.478...running aspalt airboune very smooth...elegant display...HD, no lagging, pokemon go yes... And also a got marshmallow n lte... But...battery like entry level smartphone...for camera nothing special... Overall with low price....i am happy :)

  • Yes I am a LG K8 user and the game runs fine for me.Hasn't crashed a single time , doesn't drain a lot of battery and doesn't heat up my phone too much.

  • yes fully compatible with pokemon go and very good quality too

  • Yea sorry but ive been using it and its great so maybe stop living in the middle of nowhere. The only problem is its not the best screen quality

  • Yes it runs Pokémon flawlessly

  • Anyone with negative opinions about this (budget) device is ignorant. There is nothing wrong with this phone. It can handle anything you can throw at it. People complaining about bad reception are probably either living in the boonies or do not know how to properly operate it. There is no such thing as a perfect device. For all those complaining, go out and buy a $500 phone and not a budget phone.

  • is this device compatible with pokemon go ?

  • is this device compatible with pokemon go ?

  • i dont have any issues

  • Limited connectivity unless on wifi it takes forever to load a page. The call quality reminds me of 15 years ago where you must move around and shout can you hear me. It is loaded with unremovable and immoveable bloat ware. Battery life is very low. This phone blows through data at a rapid rate. So if you're on a limited plan, I recommend turning data off until you absolutely need it. I sent a text day before yesterday and it was still sitting on sending this morning. I was advised it has 16 GB onboard storage. It has only 8 GB, and 6.4 GB if that is used by system, leaving approximately 1.5 GB for user. The only things that can be moved to SD card are apps user downloads and that depends on app. Camera selfies gesture does not work. Taking pics outdoors is impossible because you can't see screen to focus.

  • No. It is not.

  • I have. It works OK, but I cant find the option to turn it as internal storage mode

  • if anyone has put 32GB memory card and there is no problem?

  • Did anyone know how to use nfc in k8 ?

  • Everybody complain about battery life, is it really that bad for some casual, average user? I'm in doubt between LG K8 and Samsung J3 (2016).

  • The most unfriendly Facebook phone I have ever had. It blows through my data fast too. It keeps unnecessary apps running even after u delete them.

  • I try to connect to usb otg and is not working. Does it have otg support?

  • Yes it has

  • Is there not a notification light for the LG K8?

  • The phone is very good i bought one month ago and i'm very happy :)

  • I Bought It 2 Weeks Ago, NOT Impressed. It Runs Smooth But The Internal Memory Is Absolute BS. Also It Is Not Rootable.

  • I bought the phone , the phone are perfect that one who will buy it will be happy . Im using the phone maybe 3-4 months and its fast as sun buy it and get happy :) .

  • 16gigs of internal,depends where u got it from

  • yes, it has bahasa.

  • The correct SIM is nano

  • This lg k8 have indonesian languge?

  • The front and back camera are perfect for that class of phone i don't now what did you espekt...... Iphone 6, Samsung 7 or huawei p9 😄

  • do you think this phone is worth it?

  • there is nano sim prkl!!!!

  • Many things I like but the camera as supplied is worse than useless.

  • U actually cant :/ i've updated my spirit lte to 6.0 hoping that i will be able to move app on sd but the only thing i got is that my kritika (game) stopped working.. Rip

  • Been spelling long?

  • Is it better than LG Magna? What about battery life? Thanks!

  • K8 comes with 8 and 16 GB internal storige ( depends where you gona by the phone ) sistem with defoult app took almost 4GB others GB is for the user. Front and back camera are perfect for this class of phone, and the battery is not bad. He is ergonomic and worth for the money. .......and one negative is that he dont have light sensot.

  • Hey! Could some one tell me how much storage this phone really have for apps and can they be moved to the SD card? How about battery life and rear camera quallity? I have an LG L70 wich i like a lot, last up to 3 days, ok camera but its useless with apps since it has really little storage and the apps can not be moved to the SD card which is a big shame on an otherwise very good phone, so need to look for a replacement. Thanks in advance!

  • This phone has good quality sound ?

  • It's a perfect smartphone for those who don't want to spend $700 and still have a 5 inch screen and all the functionality you could want from a phone. Curved glass, grippy back, NFC and excellent screen along with LG quality make this phone a no brainer for $70 dollars. What a steal

  • Can someone tell me which sensors this phone has? Using some app like CPU-z to check ;)

  • This phone is just perfect, design, performance, camera all in one

  • Its better than LG Spirit anyway

  • With any aplication, you will get just some more funktion then stock camera app, until the camera drver is same in android sistem pictures will be same.....maybe in other upgrede of Marshmalov this will be changed

  • The installed application for the camera has the problem. Since you can't uninstall it, you can download another application from google play. I propose open camera.

  • About 4gb

  • Camera it has some focus problem i low light condition but evrything else run perfect

  • 8Gb memory 4 for sistem and 4 for user

  • 2 Gb

  • How many GB of LG K8 (K350K) memory user available of 8GB? tell me please.. thanks before :(

  • pls can the sim card slot be used as sim2???

  • the battery is good enough. Same thing with all the smartphones. Daily is working nightly sleep

  • LG G2 is an old phone, it deserves no more updates. It launched with 4.2. And it's 2016 now. If LG still releases phones with Lollipop no one will be interested . And marshmallow will be the last OS update that K8 gets.

  • How is the batery.I had the LG BEAT and was disesster,3 hours for charge and 4 hours for work!?

  • woooooow what a phone best phone for this price. love it.

  • woooooow what a phone best phone for this price. love it.

  • IPS.

  • The phone is pretty enough, runs great for browsing/fbing/etc. I haven't tried any big games (partly because of lack of space, and because I don't normally play any anyway), but smaller games seem to work well. One charge takes me through a day of use, not great, but ok. Has a few nice features, like the knock-code, or knock to wake/lock phone. And mine at least wasn't stuffed with a ton of useless apps (there were a few, but I have seen much worse). Oh, and it has a nano-sim slot.

  • Anything but Samsung J3 2016. Battery sucks.

  • LG K8 (K350K) IPS or TFT? please answer..

  • Another version of the K8 is the LG Escape 3 (K373), with the spec differences being a 1.3GHz Snapdragon 212, different LTE bands (2, 4, 5, 12 and 29), and 16GB internal memory. The LG Phoenix 2 (K371) variant also has the same specs at the K373.

  • LG K4 or Samsung J3?

  • well while this slow phone has 6.0 out of the box lg G flex 2 and lg G2 are left in lollipop wtf if they are powerfull devices im really angry with lg since they left 5.0.2 on G2 being that version a buggy os wich the same google recognize that has issues and reason because they rolled out 5.1.1. lg employee from korea promised 5.1.1 with 4.0 ux back in 2015 but besides there was a leaked picture it never came to outr phones .... and I really don't care if they don't update the ux to 4.0 ux but what I really care is performance . camera speed and internet connection ... some times the Wi-Fi turns on and doesn't connect to my internet while my wife moto g does and camera speed at night on lollipop is bad .. even a moto g with 5 mpx is faster shooting and focusing .... faster than a 13 mpx camera too bad .... plus performace some times is slow so ...... im sure that 5.1.1 could fix these issue but they instead denied the update I hope that by the time u update ur flaghships to android n atleast mine gets 5.1.1 other wise by the time ill pick an iphone and ill worry in changes in 3x years maybe due to they don't have issue updating their products ..... and android aosp or cm are no options to me ... because the sound and camera quality is crap due to lack of drivers.

  • My model has nano sim

  • i would not recomend this to anyone the is only internal storage of 8 gb and half of it is taken up by the system otherwise its a great phone

  • in LG K8, even if it has Android 6, the SD Card can NOT be used as internal memory

  • The battery on this device is on the low side for my liking

  • how much lg k8 has available space for downloading apps, pleaseeeee help

  • I agree. Somebody at LG is bezel-happy, because the K7 is basically the same. Still, pretty good phones for the money. These aren't flagships, folks.

  • all lg low bugget phone not support otgggggggggggggggggg. and price high

  • Screen brightness should be 50 percent.

  • 1 third of front is the bezels and the battery is too weak.lg maybe u like to loose ur little costumers and embargo totally........

  • They're making budget phone, what's why.

  • and don;'t forget about 1GB ram (found in K5) ... and it's not that they can not put more than 3000mAh battery, is because they don;t want ....but I don;t know WHY ??

  • depends also how long you use your phone.. also from using its application

  • whos the retard working in lg deciding to put low battery life on every of their midrange phones? 3000mah or more is better

  • it's battery life comparing to other features is rideculous

  • I dont like this phone especially the battery

  • I agree!! Too much bezel. Too thick, as well.

  • In Marshmallow you can use external sd card as internal memory...so don't worry, insert a 32/64 gb card and enjoy....

  • Also in 2016 why cant LG bring sleek and less bezel phones? (~70% STB ratio).. For a 5", Chineese brands will be less than 140mm and 70mm which should be convenient to hold and use.

  • A nice phone gooooooood

  • All android phones must come with 16gb rom 8gb is a joke these greedy companies still put profits over customer satisfaction Chinese vendors will soon put LG out of business
