Display

The Infinix Smart 8 features a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels. Infinix has implemented a software feature called the ‘Magic Ring’, which displays information around the camera cutout.

The display has a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz and can reach a peak brightness of 500 nits.

Hardware

The smartphone is powered by an octa-core UNISOC T606 processor. It includes two 1.6 GHz Cortex-A75 high-performance cores and six 1.6 GHz Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores. The graphics are handled by a Mali-G57 processor.

This is an entry-level chip that can handle simple tasks like web browsing and media consumption. For gaming, games like PUBG Mobile can run on low settings for a short period of time.

Camera

The rear camera is placed inside a ‘squircle’ island alongside the ring flash. The entire layout gives the illusion of a triple-camera layout akin to the iPhone Pro series.

Infinix’s spec sheet states that the Smart 8’s rear camera is capable of recording up to 4K videos at 30 fps and the front camera is capable of recording 1080p videos up to 60fps.

Battery and OS

The device is houses a 5000mAh battery that supports 10W charging through the USB Type-C port.

The device runs on Android 13 out of the box with Infinix’s XOS 13 custom skin applied on top.
