Possibly taking a leaf out of its subsidiary Motorola, Lenovo[1] has decided to ditch its custom Android skin[2] – Vibe Pure UI – in favour of a leaner, stock approach. The upcoming Lenovo K8 Note[3], which comes with Android 7.1.1. Nougat, will be the first one to do so. The phones will steep keep software enhancements such as the Dolby Atmos tech – that are also found in Moto[4] devices – but the rest of the bloatware will be gone.
"What we have done in last 11 months is we looked at what we had in terms of software perspective. We have been close to the consumers and we saw what they were asking for," Lenovo India's product marketing head Anuj Sharma told Gadgets 360. "There was a certain trend and we have now decided to cut the Vibe Pure UI off from our phones. So you will now get the stock Android which consumers have been asking for."
Airtel the only winner in TRAI's July 4G speed tests but Jio still on top
Of the big four, Airtel[5] was the only provider whose 4G speeds increased in the month of July[6], according to data provided by TRAI's MySpeed app. All the other three – Reliance Jio[7], Vodafone[8], and Idea[9] – saw their peak speeds decline for the second straight month. That doesn't change the order though, which sees Jio (18.654Mbps) maintain the top spot in the download section, followed by Vodafone (11.070Mbps), Idea (9.465Mbps), and Airtel (8.916Mbps).
