Infinix to Launch Smart 8 Series Smartphone in India
Infinix, the smartphone maker, is preparing to introduce a new addition to its Smart 8 series in the Indian market. After recently launching the Smart 8 HD model in the region, the company is now gearing up for the release of the base Smart 8 handset.
Expected Launch Date
The Smart 8 is anticipated to make its debut in India in January 2023. Infinix is likely to announce the official launch date soon. Previously, the Smart 8 was introduced in the Nigerian market. However, for its Indian release, Infinix is expected to unveil a special edition variant featuring a timber textured panel on the rear.
Specifications and Features
The Infinix Smart 8 boasts a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel with HD+ resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of peak brightness, and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. Powering the device is the UNISOC T606 chipset, coupled with up to 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Users also have the option to expand the storage and RAM through a microSD card slot and virtual RAM expansion support.
In terms of cameras, the Smart 8 features a dual-camera setup on the back with a 13-megapixel main sensor. On the front, there is a 5-megapixel selfie shooter. The device comes with Android 13 Go Edition out of the box and includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for added security. Additionally, it offers Face unlock as an alternative unlocking method.
Expected Pricing
As an entry-level smartphone, the Infinix Smart 8 is likely to be priced under 10,000 INR. The Smart 8 HD model was launched in India starting at 6,299 INR, so it is expected that the base Smart 8 will be released within a similar price range.
With the upcoming launch of the Infinix Smart 8 in India, the Chinese brand aims to cater to budget-conscious consumers who are in search of a feature-packed smartphone at an affordable price point.
