About LG K8

The LG K8 is a compact Android smartphone built around a 5-inch IPS TFT LCD display with a 720p resolution, offering a straightforward viewing experience in a pocket-friendly form. Its slim profile measures just 8.7 mm thick and weighs 140 g, making it easy to handle with one hand.

Under the hood, the K8 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and is equipped with 1 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, paired with a 2,125 mAh battery to keep it powered through the day. Connectivity includes USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and dual-band Wi-Fi, while a fingerprint sensor adds a layer of security. The device also features an 8 MP secondary camera for selfies and video calls.

This variant

The LG RS500 (K8 LRA) stands out with its slightly lighter 135 g weight and slimmer 8.4 mm profile compared to the base model. It also launches with Android Pie, a newer OS than the base model's Marshmallow. Unlike some K8 variants with 1 GB RAM, this one includes 1.5 GB, matching several others like the X240ds, K350Y, and K350N. However, it is a single-SIM device, distinguishing it from dual-SIM variants like the K350K or K350ds.
