Note that in the US, the LG K8 (2017) is currently only available from US Cellular ($50 prepaid). Is the slightly more expensive 2017 model worth buying, or can you save the extra charge? Or, should you perhaps put a little more money on the table to get the LG K10 (2017)? We clarify those questions in our test. We did not have the predecessor, which is also called LG K8, in our test laboratory, but it is still widely available as well. At first glance, there seems to be no difference in the cameras.Īs comparison devices, the Asus Zenfone Go ZB500KL, Gigaset GS160, Huawei Y6 II Compact, and Lenovo K6 are used, which are all within a price range between 140 and 200 Euros (~$150-214). Besides the smaller display size, it is equipped with a slower LTE module, weaker processor, and less working memory, but currently costs around 50 Euros (~$53) less on the Internet than his better equipped sibling, the LG K10 (2017). This worked well in the LG K10 (2017), and now we take a look at the slightly smaller, slimmed down sibling, the LG K8 (2017). In its K series, LG combines an affordable price with decent cameras, a removable battery, and an appealing design. For the original German review, see here.
