Infinix Note 8 (x692) 128GB Green

Review of budget smartphone Infinix Note 8 Infinix Note 8 is the first product of this year, a little-known brand in Russia, Infinix Mobile, which presented its first smartphone for Russia under the name Infinix Zero 8 last fall. However, the brand itself (pronounced "Infinix") is not so young: the company was founded in 2013. The company itself is Chinese, but at one time it bought the French manufacturer Sagem Wireless, so it speaks of its French roots. The manufacturer reports on a wide presence in Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. Since the end of last year, the brand has been unhurriedly trying to master the Russian market, and upon first consideration, its new smartphone has a chance to compete with Xiaomi products for the user's attention in the budget segment. Infinix Note 8 is the largest smartphone with a screen diagonal of almost 7 inches. Accordingly, this is the first thing to consider when choosing, because such a large device "pocket" can be called a stretch. The dimensions, of course, are large, the weight of 213 grams is also high Infinix Note 8 (x692) 128GB Green er than the "psychological norm", although all this has not stopped fans of huge screens for a long time. On the other hand, the design of this nice device is quite pleasant. The back cover not only shines with mother-of-pearl, but also changes color from pink to blue, depending on the angle of view. Despite the complete absence of glass and metal, the plastic case with a plastic side frame is made as if both glass and metal were used here. No, there is of course glass - on the front panel. And this, according to the creators, even Corning Gorilla Glass - however, it is not specified what generation. The frame around the screen is narrow in a modern way, although not only the sensors, but also one of the stereo speakers were able to hide in its narrow segments. On the facade there is no LED indicator of events as such, but there are two very bright separate LED flashes that not only work when taking photos and videos, but can also notify about incoming calls. This needs to be enabled in the settings. The body as a whole is quite easily soiled and slippery: the side frame is smooth, imitating chrome-plated metal, and the lid is quickly covered with fingerprints. A complete case can come to the rescue: it is flexible, transparent, almost does not spoil the appearance. The cameras protrude beyond the surface, so the smartphone is unstable on the table, swaying when you touch the screen. On the front panel, there are two camera modules: one for selfies, the second is an auxiliary scene depth sensor for blurring the background in portrait mode. The side buttons are installed on one edge. A fingerprint scanner pad is embedded in the power key. It should be noted the incredibly fast response rate of this scanner: it seems that recognition begins already "on the fly" of the finger. The solution is the most convenient, and we are glad that it is being used more and more often: there is no need to fence any “under-screen” scanners. The card slot is triple: designed for two Nano-SIM cards and a microSD memory card at the same time. Hot swapping of cards is supported. There is nothing on the top end, the bottom has a 3.5 mm audio output for headphones, a USB Type-C connector, as well as a speaker and a spoken microphone. The speakers work in stereo. The smartphone is available in several color options: gray, blue and green (Gray, Blue, Green). The body of the device does not have full protection against moisture and dust. The Infinix Note 8 smartphone is equipped with a 6.95-inch IPS display with a resolution of 720 × 1640, covered with flat Corning Gorilla Glass. The physical dimensions of the screen are 71 × 162 mm, the aspect ratio is 20.5: 9, and the dot density is 258 ppi. The width of the frame around the screen is 4 mm from the sides, 5 mm from the top and 9 mm from the bottom. https://jiji.ug/kampala/mobile-phones/infinix-note-8-x692-128gb-green-tQawaLWidfV0GoGJ1keLlTjZ.html
