Infinix Smart 8 review: design
The Infinix Smart 8 has a wooden texture, which makes it less susceptible to fingerprints and fading. The color-coordinated frame enhances the overall appearance of the smartphone. Additionally, the rear camera module also looks stylish. Using polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA, the device is lightweight, weighing approximately 189 grams and measuring 8.5mm thick. The smartphone fits comfortably in your hand.
The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a face unlock feature. Both are fast and the face unlock works well even in low light conditions.

The Infinix Smart 8 features a 6.6-inch HD+ punch-hole display that supports a 90Hz refresh rate and 500 nits peak brightness. The screen is also equipped with NEG protective glass. It has a prominent chin bar and offers a 90.8% screen-to-body ratio.
The screen is sleek and bright enough for indoor use. It produces decent colors and the volume is sufficient for content consumption. However, the viewing angles could be better.
The magic ring can sometimes be useful because it displays information such as battery level and phone call duration.
