The ZuPick verdict
3.4out of 5
ConsiderBest at camera, weakest at performance.
The Infinix SMART 8 gets the basics right for a low-cost phone: a smooth enough screen, dependable battery life and a better-than-average main camera. It is best for everyday use, while speed and screen sharpness remain modest.
Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.Performance3.0
With 4 GB RAM, 4G support and eMMC storage, this is built for routine use like calling, messaging, browsing and light apps. It will feel fine for basics, but heavier games and faster multitasking are not its strength.Camera4.3
This is one of the stronger parts of the phone. The 50 MP main camera, autofocus, f/1.8 lens and 1080p video give it a solid setup for clear daylight photos and everyday shooting.Display3.0
The 90 Hz LCD makes scrolling feel smoother than entry-level phones, and 500 nits brightness is decent for daily use. The HD+ resolution is serviceable for video and reading, though it is not especially sharp.Battery3.0
The 5000 mAh battery is right in the middle for this price and should comfortably get through a normal day. It is dependable rather than a standout.Value3.6
At ₹7299, it sits in a very competitive price spot and gives you a smooth 90 Hz display, a good 50 MP camera and a dependable battery. The slower storage holds it back a little, but the package still makes good sense for the money.Price history

Pros & cons
What’s good
Good everyday display
The 90 Hz screen feels smoother than a basic 60 Hz panel when scrolling through apps, messages and social media. 500 nits brightness is decent for regular indoor use and manageable outdoors.
Strong main camera
The 50 MP rear camera with autofocus and an f/1.8 lens is a real plus at this price. It should do well for daylight photos, documents and casual family shots.
Reliable daily battery
The 5000 mAh battery is the standard people look for in this range. It should comfortably handle a full day of calls, messaging, video and light app use.
Useful basic features
You still get a side fingerprint sensor, 3.5 mm headphone jack, expandable storage and dual SIM support. These are practical extras that matter in day-to-day use.
What’s not
Slow app loading
eMMC storage is slower than the faster storage used in better phones under this budget. App installs, updates and opening heavier apps can feel less snappy.
Basic screen sharpness
The 720x1612 display is fine for YouTube, WhatsApp and browsing, but text and images are not as crisp as the sharper screens found on the best options.
Not for heavy gaming
This phone is better suited to light apps and routine use. Bigger games and heavier multitasking are likely to show lag more quickly.

1mostly socmeds, and nag eedit din me here thru canva and capcut and I'm surprised na hindi siya umiinit so i guess worth it siya
r/Tech_Philippinesu/fewekal115 · 2y ago
1Not bad for its price. I got the 128GB+4GB(+4GB) variant for 2899. Smooth naman tho Android Go ang OS nya. Does also the basic tasks well naman.
r/Tech_Philippinesu/MARKU127 · 3y ago
The infinix smart 8 has 4gb of ram which is pretty decent for the price of 3,699 It also has 64gb UFS 2.? internal memory Which is pretty Outstanding If you look at the price of the phone.
r/Tech_Philippinesu/MARKU127 · 3y ago
The camera quality is pretty decent The colors good but the lighting not too good nor bad. This phone Has a T606 which is pretty fine when dealing with social media apps, and some games too.
r/Tech_Philippinesu/MARKU127 · 3y ago
I recommend the infinix smart 8 for Kids( Ages 12 below) Like me(I'm 13 but im still a kid ig) But Also Teens or People who have low budget. With the decent specs for the price of ₱3,699 The infinix smart 8 is a Valuable phone. 7.5/10
r/Tech_Philippinesu/smilah_101 · 3y ago
1If mainly for school and daily use. Infinix smart 8 is good na. But for gaming, it will probably not perform the best. The camera is doable, and could probably make pictures better with lots of editing or using third party camera apps.

2My Infinix smart 8 is almost 3 years old now and going strong for the most part, but I recently bought a smart 20 as a “backup” for when the day comes.

3Hi everyone, I've had this phone for just over two years and recently it's developed a charging problem. When I plug it in to charge, it shows that it's charging but then the percentage doesn't change.
r/Tech_Philippinesan owner · 2 mo ago
3I started charging my phone at around 9:50–10:00 PM when it was at 27%. I took a shower around 10:10 PM, and when I came back about 20 minutes later, my phone was already showing 100%.
