The Infinix Smart 8 is gearing up for its imminent launch in India, following its initial debut in Nigeria back in November 2023. The company has provided a sneak peek into the key features and color choices for the Indian variant, which is anticipated to mirror the specifications of its global counterpart. This includes a Unisoc chipset, an HD+ display, a 50-megapixel dual camera setup, and a robust 5,000mAh battery.
In a recent development, Infinix has released additional insights about the upcoming phone, including details about its pricing and launch date in the country. A dedicated microsite on Flipkart has been activated, confirming the phone’s availability on the platform post-launch. Simultaneously, a landing page on the official company website provides a glimpse into the handset’s expected price, hinted at as “Rs. 6,XXX,” suggesting a price point below Rs. 7,000. The smartphone is slated to boast up to 8GB of RAM, with a combination of 4GB physical RAM and 4GB of virtual RAM, accompanied by 64GB of internal storage.
One distinctive feature of the Infinix Smart 8 is the Magic Ring, a unique pill-shaped collapsible island encircling the centrally positioned hole-punch cutout on the display. This innovative feature, akin to Apple’s Dynamic Island, streamlines notifications and alerts in a neat and organized manner.
In terms of camera capabilities, the Infinix Smart 8’s dual rear camera setup comprises a 50-megapixel primary sensor and an unspecified secondary AI-assisted sensor. The front camera, on the other hand, is equipped with an 8-megapixel sensor and claims to be the first in its segment to feature a selfie camera flash.
Ensuring robust security measures, the Infinix Smart 8 incorporates a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, cleverly integrated into the power button on the handset’s right edge. The smartphone is set to make a stylish entrance with four color options – Galaxy White, Rainbow Blue, Shiny Gold, and Timber Black.
It’s worth noting that the global variant of the Infinix Smart 8 boasts a Unisoc T606 SoC and a 5,000mAh battery. Its 6.6-inch HD+ display (1,612 x 720 pixels) offers a 90Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness level of 500 nits, running on Android T Go Edition. Stay tuned for the official launch to discover more about this highly anticipated smartphone.
