Infinix Hot 8 review: Not a great multi-tasker, scores on everything else

In a market where budget smartphones (priced below Rs 10,000) are available in plenty, Infinix has come up with yet another model in this category. Infinix Hot 8 will be available for purchase from September 10. The new phone is priced at Rs 6,999. Powered by Android 9 with 4 GB RAM, the phone has a 5000 mAh battery. So let's find out how this phone turns out:

Design and Display
The Infinix Hot 8 has a striking resemblance compared with most other budget smartphones. The company has given it a sleek look and the round edges add to the feel of the device. The gradient colour of the phone is clearly done to notch up the design game. There are a few colour options — Quetzal Cyan, Cosmic Purple, Shark Grey and Midnight Black. The good thing is that the phone doesn't slip from hands and is not as heavy as its size would suggest. The volume buttons and screen lock button on the right side on the phone are just fine. The SIM & memory card slot is on the left, with space for two SIMs and micro SD card. The 6.5-inch size of the screen is a little too big for one-hand usage, but this is something people can't complain about, given the diverse usage of the phone. Hot 8 has a resolution of 720x1600 pixels with 20:9 aspect ratio. The phone has a screen-to-body ratio of over 80 per cent. It has IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen. However, despite the high resolution, the display isn't the sharpest. Read More
