The company also announced that the upcoming Lenovo K8 Note will be exclusive to Amazon India and the most interesting about the upcoming phone is that it will lose bloatware UI and come with vanilla Android OS in the lines of the sister brand Motorola's Moto series handsets. Since the very first Lenovo phone in India, which made its debut in 2013, the company had been offering a second layer of interface dubbed as Vibe UI on top of Google's Android. Now, it will all change, as Lenovo has revealed that the soon-to-be-unveiled K8 Note and the new phones coming in the future will all run stock Android with no complicated interface and most importantly, no unrequired apps will be pre-installed in it.
