Infinix Smart 8: Unveiling a 50-Megapixel Dual Rear Camera Setup
Infinix is gearing up for the imminent launch of its Smart 8 smartphone in India, following its initial debut in Nigeria back in November 2023. The company previously disclosed some essential features and color choices specific to the Indian variant of this device, aligning its specifications closely with the global model. Anticipated to mirror its international counterpart, the Smart 8 is set to include a Unisoc chipset, an HD+ display, a 50-megapixel dual-camera setup, and a robust 5,000mAh battery. Infinix has recently teased additional details about the impending phone, including insights into its price range and announced the official launch date in the country.
A live Flipkart microsite dedicated to the upcoming Infinix Smart 8 confirms its availability on the e-commerce platform post-launch, while a corresponding landing page on the company’s website offers further glimpses into the handset’s specifications. The teaser also hints at the phone’s price, currently listed as “Rs. 6,XXX,” signaling a price tag below the Rs. 7,000 mark. Moreover, the Smart 8 is slated to arrive with a maximum of 8GB RAM, comprising 4GB physical RAM and an additional 4GB of virtual RAM, accompanied by 64GB of built-in storage.
Notably, the Infinix Smart 8 introduces the innovative Magic Ring feature, reminiscent of Apple’s Dynamic Island. Positioned as a pill-shaped collapsible island encircling the centrally-located hole-punch cutout on the display, this feature streamlines notifications and alerts in a tidy and condensed manner, ensuring a clutter-free user experience.
The imaging setup of the Infinix Smart 8 is slated to comprise a dual rear camera configuration, headlined by a 50-megapixel primary sensor accompanied by an unspecified secondary AI-assisted sensor. On the front, the device boasts an 8-megapixel sensor and proudly touts itself as the first in its segment to incorporate a dedicated selfie camera flash for enhanced photo-capturing capabilities.
When it comes to security features, the Smart 8 introduces a side-mounted fingerprint sensor ingeniously integrated into the power button, conveniently located on the handset’s right edge. Adding a touch of personalization, the smartphone is confirmed to hit the shelves in four distinct color variants: Galaxy White, Rainbow Blue, Shiny Gold, and Timber Black, offering users a range of stylish choices to match their preferences.
The global variant of the Infinix Smart 8 showcases a Unisoc T606 SoC as its powerhouse, complemented by a substantial 5,000mAh battery. Boasting a sizable 6.6-inch HD+ display featuring a refresh rate of 90Hz and a peak brightness level reaching 500 nits, this smartphone runs on the Android T Go Edition, catering to a smooth and optimized user experience.
