The smartphone sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with OIS (optical image stabilisation). There is no word on the front camera on the handset. The Android 5.0 Lollipop-based Lenovo K80 sports an 8.5mm thin body and will be available in black, silver, and red colour options. The launch was first reported by Chinese website CNMO.
