Infinix announced the Smart 8 last year in some markets, but the one launched in India a couple of weeks ago came with the Helio G36 SoC, 50MP camera, and XOS 13 based on Android 13 Go. Now, the brand has announced the Smart 8 Pro, which isn’t a new smartphone but the Indian Smart 8.
That means the Infinix Smart 8 Pro comes with the Helio G36 SoC, a 6.6″ 90Hz HD+ LCD with Dynamic Island-like Magic Ring, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 10W charging.
The smartphone also runs Android 13 Go-based XOS 13, and it has a feature that lets you call people on WhatsApp without adding their numbers. However, this feature will arrive through an OTA.
The Infinix Smart 8 Pro has two RAM (4GB/8GB) and storage (64GB/128GB) options with support for storage expansion via a microSD card. It also sports three cameras – 8MP selfie and 50MP primary, joined by what Infinix calls an “AI Lens.”
The rest of the Infinix Smart 8 Pro’s highlights include USB-C, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and DTS sound processing with a 200% Super Volume boost.
