Lenovo Golden Warrior S8 (S898t+) specs:

1.4GHz MediaTek octa-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB storage (expandable via microSD)
12MP rear and 5MP front cameras
Dual-SIM

140 grams
Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean

As of now the Golden Warrior S8 is reported to be a device of China Mobile and is compatible with the TD-SCDMA network of the carrier, but who knows as it might make its way to other countries including Philippines in the upcoming months.

Also, reports say there are possibilities of Lenovo releasing different variants of the S8. One variant could possibly be a WCDMA model if Xiaomi also comes up with it for its Redmi Note. Seems like Lenovo wouldn’t let Xiaomi get all the attention.
