Leagoo M8 analysis, a phablet for 70 euros

If you are one of those users who like terminals with a large screen but your budget is very tight, so the Leagoo M8 is the device you are looking for. And it is now possible to buy the M8 with a 5,7-inch screen in HD resolution (1280 × 720) with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection for only € 70 in Flash offer for only 7 days. We have been testing it for a few days, here we share our impressions of it Leagoo M8 review.

5,7 screen inches

Without a doubt, the screen is one of the strengths of this Leagoo M8. The 2.5 inch IPS 5,7D panel It offers an HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. As an extra element, it incorporates the famous Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection that is not seen in all terminals of a similar price to this Leagoo. The quality of the screen is acceptable, it meets what is expected but without great fanfare beyond its striking size.

As for the photographic section, the M8 offers us a 13 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash and an 8 MP front sensor. The quality of both sensors are above average for this type of terminal, so an average user will be very satisfied with their photographs. It also incorporates a fingerprint reader whose performance is quite good compared to those incorporated in low / mid-range terminals.

Leagoo M8 design

The design of the M8 it is quite attractiveIt doesn't look like a smartphone that you can buy for € 68 at all. Their frames are metallic while the back is in plastic imitation of brushed aluminum, which although it is clear to the touch that it is not metal from a visual point of view, it looks as if it were aluminum. Its dimensions are 15,45 x 7.98 x 0.88 centimeters and at a weight level it goes up to 224 grams, which may be somewhat excessive for users accustomed to lighter smartphones ... but having a 5,7-inch screen requires a extra weight.

Processor, memory and storage

The Leagoo M8 comes with a 6580 GHz 4-core MediaTek MTK1,3 processor of speed accompanied by a Mali-400 MP GPU. At the memory level it has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of ROM expandable up to 128 GB via MicroSD card. These specifications are not cutting edge but we must remember that we are talking about a low-end terminal for price so they seem more than correct.

Of course, it is not a terminal to which we can demand the maximum level of performance when executing high-demand games or working in multitasking; rather it is a model that is developed thinking of a normal user who uses the smartphone for everyday tasks that do not require many resources.

Battery, another point in favor

The battery is 3.500 mAh, which together with the HD resolution of the screen gives us a very interesting autonomy for such a large device. Have the operating system Android 6.0 Marshmallow It also helps to extend the battery and that it can last us a day without problems with a high use of the phablet. It can be removed by removing the plastic casing from the back so you can easily change it in case of performance deterioration.

Leagoo M8 connectivity

Leagoo model comes with 3G connectivity, Bluetooth, GPS, GSM and Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n. It also incorporates Dual SIM, audio jack output, Micro SD card slot and micro USB type C charging. We only miss the 4G connectivity, but we forgive you for the really tight price.

Price and where to buy

To get it at that price you have a flash offer that ONLY lasts 7 days. Once this promotion has passed, the M8 is still very affordable (about € 80) but if you are going to buy it, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity.
