Infinix Smart 8 Pro

The Infinix Smart 8 Pro measures 163.6 x 75.6 x 8.5 mm with a total volume of 105.12936 cm³ and weighs 189 g, giving it a fairly standard footprint for a 6.6-inch smartphone. The design is neither rugged nor foldable, and it offers no water resistance, so it is not built to withstand exposure to moisture or harsh physical conditions.

The 6.6-inch IPS LCD touchscreen runs at a resolution of 720 x 1612 px with a pixel density of 267 ppi, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 180Hz touch sampling rate for responsive input handling. Typical brightness is rated at 500 nits, providing reasonable visibility in well-lit conditions. The display does not support HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, or Always-On Display, has no secondary screen, and does not feature branded damage-resistant glass.

The device is powered by the MediaTek Helio G36 chipset, built on a 12 nm process and configured as an octa-core CPU using big.LITTLE technology, with four cores at 2.2 GHz and four at 1.8 GHz across 8 threads, all with multithreading enabled and 64-bit support. It is paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM running at 1600 MHz across two channels with a maximum memory bandwidth of 13.9 GB/s, and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with external memory expandable up to 2TB. The PowerVR GE8320 GPU operates at 650 MHz with a turbo frequency of 680 MHz, supporting DirectX 12 and OpenGL ES 3.2, while LTE is integrated directly into the SoC. In benchmark testing, the chipset achieved an AnTuTu score of 127,000, a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 842 with a single-core score of 229, and Geekbench 5 results of 848 multi-core and 240 single-core. Security is addressed through NX bit and TrustZone support.

The main camera is a 50MP single-lens CMOS sensor with an f/1.85 aperture, phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording, though optical image stabilization and laser autofocus are not available. Manual controls cover ISO, exposure, focus, and white balance, while burst mode, HDR, panorama, timelapse, and slow-motion video recording are all supported; manual shutter speed and RAW capture are not. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps, with no HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording support, and a single LED flash accompanies the rear camera with no dual-tone or RGB option. The 8MP front camera sits at f/2.0, has its own LED flash, and is a single-lens setup positioned above the display rather than under it; 360-degree panorama and 3D photo or video capture are absent from both cameras.

The device runs Android 13 and ships with a broad set of software features covering both usability and privacy. On the privacy side, it includes clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. The interface supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, extra dim mode, customizable notifications, full-page screenshots, split-screen multitasking, picture-in-picture, sharing intents, a media picker, and Live Text, while focus modes, app offloading, battery health check, and Wi-Fi password sharing are absent. Offline voice recognition, voice commands, on-device machine learning, phone tracking, multi-user support, and a child lock are all present, but direct OS updates from the vendor and Quick Start are not supported.

The phone is equipped with a 5000 mAh non-removable rechargeable battery that supports fast charging at 10W, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present, though wireless charging is not supported.

The phone includes a 3.5 mm headset jack and a built-in FM radio, but relies on a single speaker with no stereo output. High-quality Bluetooth audio codecs including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are all absent.

The phone supports dual SIM, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) with Wi-Fi 4 backward compatibility, and Bluetooth 5, while 5G is not available. Wired connectivity is handled by a USB Type-C port running at USB 2.0 speeds, and an external memory slot is included for storage expansion. Cellular download speeds reach up to 300 Mbits/s with upload at 150 Mbits/s, and NFC is not present. On the sensor side, the device includes a fingerprint scanner, GPS with Galileo support, a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, ANT+, and motion or optical tracking are all absent. Safety features such as crash detection and emergency SOS via satellite are not supported, and there is no HDMI output, iris scanner, or built-in projector.

The device includes a video light for illumination during video recording, while the display is flat with no curved edges, and neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper screen is used.
