Ensuring security, the Infinix Smart 8 will incorporate a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, integrated with the power button on the handset’s right edge. The smartphone will be available in four color options: Galaxy White, Rainbow Blue, Shiny Gold, and Timber Black. It is noteworthy that the global version of the Infinix Smart 8 features a Unisoc T606 SoC, a 5,000mAh battery, a 6.6-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness level of 500 nits.
