Big cheap budget phablet Leagoo M8 presents itself


Leagoo M8

Chinese brand Leagoo is trying to aggresively advance towards the better market share across all the mobile phone segments and in the budget segment they are pinning their hopes on a new Leagoo M8 model.

Leagoo M8 is trying to follow in the footsteps of older brothers M5 and M5 Plus and the design looks pretty much the same with some small differences. Despite the plastic build the back cover has a brushed metal texture so it should both look and feel pretty okay. It’s also slightly bigger than the conventional 5,5-inch phones these and sports a 5,7-inch screen with HD resolution and 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection.

Pure budget ancestry comes sadly with the very basic MT6580A processor clocked at 1,3 GHz meaning you will have to survive without the 4G support. At least they put in the 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of extendable storage for better performance. Rear 13 MPix camera comes with a Sony sensor with f/2.2 aperture and the front selfie one with 8 Mpix f/2.0 sensor. Phone is a dual SIM one with rear fast fingerprint scanner and Freeme OS 6.0 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. For more information you can also visit the official website.

Leagoo M8 is available either in Titanium Grey or Champagne Gold and currently it’s sitting with a $74.99 price tage for example in here.
