Leagoo Elite 8 is an Android smartphone targeted at buyers who want an LTE-enabled device without paying so much. Apart its 4G data capability, however, the phone offers largely entry-level features, including a 4-inch WVGA display and a 1GHz quad-core processor.

Design and Display
This device shows off a simple design with a plastic chassis. Nothing much separates the Leagoo Elite 8 from regular phone of this size in terms of appearance. It is more on the thick side at 8.9 millimetres.
Its display measures 4 inches diagonally and has a WVGA resolution of 480 x 800 for a pixel density of about 233 ppi.
Image quality should be manageable and some level of enjoyable wide-angle viewing may be expected since this is an IPS panel.
Camera and Storage
For image capturing, the Leagoo Elite 8 is kitted with a 5-megapixel CMOS rear sensor with LED flash, HDR and face detection.
There is a modest 2-megapixel front-facing snapper as well and, somewhat surprisingly, this is said to deliver good selfies.
Inbuilt storage has a capacity of just 4 GB that is not enough for just about any user these days. Thankfully, storage is expandable by up to 32 GB via a microSD card slot.
Performance and OS
Under the hood, the Leagoo Elite 8 comes with a quad-core MediaTek MT6735M SoC paired with an ARM Mali-T720 GPU featuring two cores. The 64-bit CPU, whose speed is clocked at 1 GHz, is backed by lowly 512 MB of RAM.
Leagoo Elite 8 has the potential for great gaming performance, but the meagre memory will probably not allow that being realised. It boots its maker’s Leagoo OS 1.1 software, which is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Miscellaneous Specs
The most notable feature of the Leagoo Elite 8 is probably its support for blazing-fast 4G LTE connectivity.
Users can enjoy theoretical download speeds of up to 150 Mbps. Connectivity options also include microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi with hotspot.
The dual-SIM, dual-standby smartphone is equipped with a 1,800mAh Li-Ion removable battery that looks like one capable of getting you through your work day on a charge.
Pricing and Availability
Leagoo Elite 8 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Leagoo Elite 8 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N15,000 to N23,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
