The Infinix zero 8 was launched in Nigeria on August 31, 2020, 16 months after its predecessor- the Infinix zero 6. Infinix decided t skip the zero 7 and take a giant leap in the spec sheet rather than just an increamental upgrade.

Performance

It runs on android 10. It has a super fast gaming chip- Mediatek Helio G90T with a CPU speed of 2.0GHz as mentioned earlier paired with 8HB of ram and a refresh rate of 90Hz. All the fore-mentioned are what enhances the smoothness of the device even in gaming. The 4500MAh battery should last 6hrs if you game a lot and a full day for a normal user. The battery should take about 40 minutes to charge fully from 0% – 100%.

Cameras

It comes with good features like the Pro mode, night mode and slow mode. Using the 48MP front facing cameras outdoors we see a lot of details. With portrait mode, depth sensing is not perfect but not bad. The 64MP camera gives better quality pictures outdoors with rich tones.

Indoors the primary camera still beats the selfie camera when it comes to quality. I’ll say the super night mode of the front camera is just for fancy, stick to using the front facing flash in the night. The super night mode works best with the primary (rear) cameras.

The front and back cameras record videos in 4K mode. While shooting in 1080p it had image stabilisation on.

Conclusion

The zero 8 is a way of replying to the criticisms of infinix fans around the globe which include demands for better display, faster processor, USB type-c, e.t.c. and infinix managed to satisfy a lot of those demands in this device.

I personally think this is one of the best devices released from infinix. What do you think? Share your comment.
