Entry-level hardware sits at the core of this one: a Mediatek MT6735 quad-core chipset paired with 1.5GB RAM handles basic tasks, though it's not built for heavy multitasking or gaming. Storage is limited to 8GB onboard, so the microSD slot (up to 32GB) becomes essential rather than optional. The 5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720x1280 resolution, which is fine for everyday browsing and messaging.
LG K8 price in Malaysia starts from RM619. The 8MP rear camera with autofocus and LED flash covers casual photo needs, while a 5MP front camera handles video calls and selfies. A removable 2125mAh battery powers the device, and it ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.
Connectivity includes NFC, LTE Cat4, dual-band Wi-Fi and GPS with GLONASS support, rounding out a spec sheet aimed at buyers who want core features without paying for flagship extras. It's a straightforward pick for anyone prioritising basics over performance.
