HMD Global is finally releasing its much-hyped Nokia 5 into the Indian market on India's Independence Day, August 15. Interestingly, the just announced Lenovo K8 Note will also hit Indian stores three days later – on August 18. So, it is inevitable for the handsets to clash.
Nokia 5 comes in only one variant and is priced at Rs 12,899, whereas Lenovo K8 Note is priced at Rs 12,999 for the 3GB RAM + 32GB storage variant and Rs 13,999 for the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage. Both the devices belong to the same price range – under Rs 15,000 – so they could end up eating into each other's sales.
Which smartphone should you buy -- Lenovo K8 Note or Nokia 5? Well, it depends on one's taste and preferences but what we can do is provide you with the details of the handsets to give you a clear idea of what they have to offer:
