The metal-bodied Lenovo K8 Note (Rs 13,999 for the 4GB/64GB version) might not turn heads, but it looks solid and feels good.
The operating system runs stock Android, but one can install a few extra apps during the initial setup.
With 4GB of RAM and a deca-core processor, I was raring to go. A few downloads later, I was burning rubber in NFS: Most Wanted, and followed it up with Real Racing 3 and Asphalt 8: Airborne. Late in the night, I plugged in earphones and tuned in to FM playing Bollywood oldies. But then I felt like one more race.
