Unboxing the Infinix HOT 8 ¶
Published on October 29, 2019, the Infinix HOT 8 is the latest addition to the HOT series, which has been a game-changer in the budget smartphone market. The device boasts a triple camera setup, a 5000mAh battery, and competitive pricing that makes it an attractive option for those looking for a powerful smartphone without breaking the bank.
The HOT 8 is available in three variants: the HOT 8 (3GB RAM, 32GB storage, triple cameras), the HOT 8 (2GB RAM, 32GB storage, triple cameras), and the HOT 8 Lite (2GB RAM, 32GB storage, dual cameras, no 4G). The prices for these variants are KES. 11,899, KES. 10,999, and KES. 9,999, respectively.
One of the standout features of the HOT 8 is its battery life. With a 5000mAh battery, users can expect to get a full day's use without needing to recharge. This is a significant improvement over previous HOT series devices, which had smaller batteries.
Another notable feature of the HOT 8 is its triple camera setup. While the exact specifications of the cameras are not clear, Infinix advertises the following features: a 13MP main lens, a 2MP extra lens, and a low-light sensor lens. The camera app does not have the usual options to switch between lenses, which may be a limitation for some users.
Performance-wise, the HOT 8 is powered by a 2GHz Quad Core processor and 2GB RAM. While this may not be the most powerful processor, it should still handle day-to-day tasks such as social media, light games, and video playback without any issues.
Overall, the Infinix HOT 8 is a solid budget smartphone that offers a lot of value for its price. With its competitive pricing, long battery life, and decent camera performance, it's definitely worth considering for those in the market for a new smartphone.
