The Infinix Smart 8 is an entry-level smartphone developed by Infinix Mobile, a subsidiary of Transsion Holdings. Part of the Infinix Smart series alongside the Smart 8 HD, Smart 8 Pro, and Smart 8 Plus, the device was officially announced and released on November 9, 2023.[1]
The Smart 8 is notable for introducing the "Magic Ring" feature to Infinix's budget lineup, which mimics Apple's Dynamic Island by displaying notifications and status updates around the front punch-hole camera cut-out. The phone marks a step forward from its predecessor by upgrading to a smoother 90Hz refresh rate display and replacing the older microUSB port with a USB Type-C connector.
History
The Infinix Smart 8 is an Android-based entry-level smartphone designed and manufactured by Infinix Mobile. Serving as the direct successor to the Infinix Smart 7, the device targets emerging markets with upgrades to its processor, display refresh rate, and software experience.[1]
Design
The Infinix Smart 8 features a contemporary form factor utilizing a glass front panel paired with a plastic backcover and flat plastic frames. It has a thickness of 8.5 mm and a weight of 184 grams. The rear panel houses a square-shaped rear camera island containing a dual-camera system (13MP main camera plus an auxiliary lens) and a circular Ring Flashlight layout that arranged to look like a triple-lens system. The module layout visually mimics the Apple iPhone Pro series.[2]
The device is equipped with a 6.6-inch HD+ punch-hole display. It incorporates an interactive software overlay feature termed the "Magic Ring", which expands natively around the front-facing camera cut-out to show real-time charging status, notifications, and call alerts. Biometric authentication is managed via a side-mounted fingerprint sensor integrated directly into the physical power button. At launch, the smartphone was made available in four textured color finishes: Crystal Green, Shiny Gold, Timber Black, and Galaxy White.

Specifications
Hardware
The device is powered by a 12 nm Unisoc Tiger T606 system-on-chip, featuring an octa-core CPU (2×1.6 GHz Cortex-A75 cores and 6×1.6 GHz Cortex-A55 cores) alongside an ARM Mali-G57 MP1 GPU. Configuration options include 3 GB or 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM paired with either 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage, expandable up to 2 TB via a dedicated microSDXC slot.[2]
Biometric security options include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button, as well as software-based facial recognition. The phone retains a 3.5mm headphone jack, includes an FM radio receiver, and utilizes a USB Type-C 2.0 port for data transfer and charging. Power is supplied by a 5,000 mAh non-removable lithium-polymer battery capable of 10W wired charging and reverse wired charging.[2]
Display
The smartphone is equipped with a 6.6-inch IPS LCD punch-hole display. The panel features an HD+ resolution of 720 × 1612 pixels, a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness rating of 500 nits.[2]
Camera
The rear camera hardware consists of a dual-lens system. The main sensor is a 13-megapixel wide lens with an f/1.85 aperture, supplemented by a secondary auxiliary AI lens intended for depth capture. It features a circular "Ring Flashlight" quad-LED setup. The front-facing selfie camera employs an 8-megapixel sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and an independent LED flash. Both front and rear systems support video recording up to 1080p at 30 frames per second.[2]
Software
The Infinix Smart 8 ships with the Android 13 "Go edition" operating system, optimized for low-cost hardware, layered beneath Infinix's proprietary XOS 13 user interface.
A core feature embedded in the software is the "Magic Ring", an interactive software animation region surrounding the punch-hole camera. Inspired by Apple's Dynamic Island, it provides real-time contextual animations and status alerts for battery charging, face unlock events, and incoming notifications.
