Ensuring everything is kept private is a fingerprint sensor right on the back on the phone.
The phone comes with support for Dolby Atmos, ensuring you pick up all the notes the way they are supposed to be heard.

To run all this, there will always be plenty of battery life – the 4000 mAh battery on the Lenovo K8 Plus is rated for up to 2 days of use (up to 26 hours of 4G talk time or approximately 20 hours of videos or 100 hours of music, and a massive 400 hours of standby time).
