Let us get straight to the point. Why should a buyer choose the Infinix Smart 8 smartphone among so many options? Firstly, if you are looking for a phone with Android 13 version, this is a good option. Then comes the punch-hole screen when many are still offering the classic V-Notch. Not just that, the punch-hole area has a so-called “Magic Ring” effect as Infinix calls it. It expands and is interactive. It can show charging status, give call alerts, and so on. You may have seen a similar feature in recent Apple iPhones which is called “Dynamic Island” but that comes with way more possibilities. Still, it is great to see a similar feature in such a low-budget phone.
The next X-Factor is its ring flash for the back camera. This is getting a lot of attention in the market for being able to add warm and cool tones, especially in low-light photography. Another great feature indeed by Infinix. The screen offers 90Hz high refresh rate with HD+ IPS technology. Its 500 nits peak brightness is decent. The 13 MP primary camera and the 8 MP selfie shooter are fair deals for the total. You can capture up to Full HD (1080p@30fps) videos.
When it comes to the performance, we are getting a Unisoc T606 chipset with 4 GB RAM. We don’t count the 4 GB extra virtual RAM option, but it’s mentionable. Gaming should be smooth enough but don’t set your expectations too high. Still, for the price, it’s one of the better deals. The 5000 mAh battery comes with a standard 10W charger. There is FM Radio, USB Type-C, 64 or 128 GB storage, a dedicated MicroSD slot, etc.
