This budget-friendly smartphone, launching tomorrow, is packed with features that seem incredulous given the handset’s expected price.
Let’s dive into the details of what the Infinix Smart 8 HD has in store.
Launch and Availability
The Infinix Smart 8 HD is set to launch on December 8 and will be available on Flipkart and select retailers.
The company has stated that the smartphone is going to have a price tag of under Rs 6,000. Wait till you hear the rumoured specs and features.
Infinix Smart 8 HD: Design and Colour Options
The Infinix Smart 8 HD draws at least some design inspiration from more expensive budget phones with its dual camera array and a large circular flash.
The phone boasts flat edges and timber texture finish which at least looks premium in leaked photos.
Apart from that the phone will come in four colors: Crystal Green, Timber Black, Shiny Gold, and Polar White.
Display and Performance
A standout feature, at least in our opinion, of the Infinix Smart 8 HD is its 90Hz display with a punch hole – a first in this price segment.
The 6.6-inch HD+ resolution screen promises a decent viewing experience at least for an entry-level handset.
Apart from that an innovative addition to the Smart 8 HD is the ‘’Magic Ring‘ feature which is akin to the iPhone’s dynamic island.
Rumours suggest that the Infinix Smart 8 HD will be powered by the Unisoc T606 processor, commonly found in higher-priced models like the Moto E13 and Nokia G21. However, it was more recently seen on the Tecno Spark Go as well, which is priced at Rs 6,499.
Also, from a software standpoint that Smart 8 HD is expected to run on XOS 13 based on Android 13 Go
Camera Capabilities and Battery
Leaks indicate a 13MP dual AI camera setup with quad LED flash for the primary camera.
The secondary camera is expected to be an auxiliary lens, similar to those in other Infinix models.
Other functionalities on the device include things like Face Unlock, Background Call, Charging Animation, Charge Completion Reminder, and Low Battery Reminder.
Another unique aspect is its side-mounted fingerprint scanner, which is again a first in its price range. Paired with a robust 5000mAh battery and USB Type C charging, the Infinix Smart 8 HD is geared up for long-lasting performance.
The Infinix Smart 8HD is certainly shaping up to be top-of-the-line offering for a device that is priced just below Rs 6,000. We shall know the actual cost of the handset tomorrow so stay tuned for that.
