Infinix Smart 8


In case you missed it, Infinix recently launched the Smart 8 in the Philippines. Infinix Smart 8 is the company's newest budget smartphone boasting an iPhone-inspired back design available in Timber Black and Shiny Gold colorways.  In front, it uses a 6.6-inch 2.5D curved LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and HD+ resolution. It also has a top-center punch-hole housing the 8MP selfie camera with a so-called "Magic Ring" feature reminding us of the Apple iPhone's Dynamic Island. This feature allows the punch-hole to expand and show charging and call information.

For specs, it is quite strong for the price. The device features the 2.0GHz UNISOC Tiger T606 octa-core processor with Mali-G57 MP1 GPU, 3GB RAM, 64GB expandable storage, and a 5,000mAh battery capacity with USB-C 10W charging. The handset also has a 13MP main shooter, AI lens, and Dual Flash Light at the back.

It also has a side-mounted fingerprint reader, WiFi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth, FM Radio, GPS, and dual SIM slots. It runs with Android 13 OS with XOS skin on top.
