Author: Yash | Date: Feb 20, 2025 | Time: 7:00 am

The Infinix Smart 8 offers a premium-looking design with a timbre-textured rear panel, a square camera module, and a Magic Ring feature resembling Apple's Dynamic Island for notifications.

DESIGN

The 6.6-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate provides smooth visuals, but outdoor visibility is poor due to limited 500 nits brightness, and colors lack sharpness.

DISPLAY

Powered by MediaTek Helio G36 with 4GB RAM (expandable to 8GB), the phone handles basic tasks smoothly but struggles with multitasking and gaming beyond light applications.

PERFORMANCE

The 5000mAh battery ensures over a day of usage, but charging is slow with the included 10W adapter taking around 2.5 hours for a full charge.

BATTERY

The 50MP primary camera delivers decent daylight shots with natural colors, but low-light performance is weak, and the 8MP selfie camera lacks detail and struggles with edge detection.

CAMERA

If you’re looking for a stylish budget smartphone under ₹7,000, the Infinix Smart 8 offers a solid battery, smooth display, and a capable main camera, but performance lag, average display quality, and slow charging could be dealbreakers.
