If you are still planning to go for it, the LG K8 is now available at several online and offline retailers. It has been priced at Rs 11,000 but you can grab it for as low as Rs 8,900 from Amazon.
There is hardly anything exciting about the smartphone in terms of specifications. It packs run of the mill components like 1.2GHz MediaTek MT6735 quad-core processor, 5-inch HD screen and 13MP primary shooter.
With plethora of Android smartphones retailing at similar price-point with much better specifications (the latest example), LG K8 is unlikely to find many takers. With such product releases, no wonder LG is nowhere to be seen in the top five smartphone vendors in the Indian market.

This is the same story with all the larger OEMs. Vivo has been selling its smartphones with HD display and Mediatek processor for more than 17k INR.
The main issue is with people not knowing what they are buying. They fall for whatever the salesperson says them.
