LYF Water 8 Quick Review
With over 6 months delay to launch the Jio 4G services in India, Reliance's smartphone brand LYF has been aggressively launching new smartphones. LYF Water 8 is the 19th addition to the brand, which sounds astonishing considering its just been 7 months since the brand launched it's first smartphone in January 2016.
Design and Display
LYF Water 8 is a really good looking device with glass on the back and metal on the sides. The phone is also sleek at just 7mm and handy with a 5 inch display. The phone so far is known to be available in two colors viz., Black and White. Up on the front of the phone sits a 5 inch display that has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels giving it a pixel density of 294PPI and should sharp enough. The display being an AMOLED panel, it should give good viewing experience, however the display lacks Gorilla Glass protection.
Hardware and Performance
Powering the LYF Water 8 on the inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octa Core chipset clocked at 1.5GHz and combined with it is 3GB of RAM. Now, 3GB of RAM should be good enough to handle heavy multitasking and also the processor should hold well in terms of performance but the processor is known for heating issues so you might want to check on that before buying. Coming to the software of the phone, it is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, which is slightly a disappointment as we expect devices to now ship with the latest Marshmallow out of the box.
Camera and Storage
For photography we have a 13MP rear shooter that can record videos up to 1080p @30fps and on the front we have a 5MP sensor for those selfies and video calling needs. Both front and the rear camera sport an LED Flash for those low light shots and selfies. And to store all the media and other date you get 16GB of onboard storage that can be further expanded up to 128GB more via a MicroSD card.
Connectivity and Battery
Like all LYF phones this phone is 4G enabled with VoLTE support. LYF Water 8 is a Dual SIM device and accepts Micro+Nano SIMs. Other than the that you get the standard WiFi, Bluetooth. When it comes to power, the phone might disappoint some as it packs just a 2600mAh battery unit which is sealed in the device. Unfortunately, we do not have wireless or fast charging support here.
Competition
Expected to retail around Rs. 10,000 you get quite a good phones in the similar price range that offer much more in terms of hardware and features. Here are a few of them:
