Design

Infinix designed the Smart 8 model using high-quality plastic with a sophisticated timber texture finish at the back. The material keeps the smartphone clean from fingerprints and enhances its aesthetics. Instead of using the traditional camera module, Infinix used three individual rings. Two rings are dedicated to the cameras and one to the LED flash. The phone has flat edges for a secure grip, meaning you can hold it for an extended period. You will get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security purposes, but you can also use the face unlock feature. The Infinix Smart 8 has a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a speaker grille.

You will enjoy a 6.6-inch display, 90Hz refresh rate, and HD+ resolution. The colors are decent enough to allow an excellent viewing experience to watch videos. The primary camera has 13 MP with an AI lens. Selfie people will rely on an 8 MP front camera. Infinix has employed Super Night mode, and quad LED lights to improve lowlight images.

Performance

The Unisoc T606 chipset powers the Inifinix Smart 8. You can get the phone in two variants: 64 GB internal storage and 3 GB RAM, or 128 GB internal space and 4 GB RAM. Fortunately, you can expand your storage using a microSD card.

The Infinix Smart 8 has a custom XOS skin atop Android 13. As such, you will get the latest Google features and security updates. The phone comes with a handful of official and Google apps pre-installed, making the user interface clean.

The phone is ideal for daily usage since it has a 5000 mAh battery. You can use it for at least a day, performing tasks such as browsing, streaming videos, and checking emails. However, the charging may be slower since it supports a 10W charging solution. You will need at least two hours to charge the phone from 0% to 100%.
