5000mAh Battery & Type C Charging
Infinix Smart 8 HD will feature a 5000mAh battery and the phone will use USB Type C for charging, not the done and dusted micro USB port.

The teasers of the phone suggest that the phone will come with a price tag of Rs 5, XXX. This confirms that the phone will cost below Rs 6,000.
Rumours
We’ve talked about the confirmed details of the phone till now. Now let’s look at what leaks are saying about the device!
According to Anvin on X, the phone will come with the Unisoc T606 processor. It is one of the common chipsets used in the budget segment and it is used in phones such as Moto E13, Itel P40 Plus, Tecno Spark 10C, Nokia G21 and more. This means this phone punches above its weight and has the firepower of phones costing Rs 1,000 or Rs 2,000 more.
The leak also suggests that the phone will come with a 13 MP dual AI camera with quad LED flash. The secondary camera could be just an auxiliary camera that Infinix uses in its other phones. The phone is said to come with XOS 13 based on Android 13 Go out of the box.
Anvin has also posted the live images of the phone. This is what the phone looks like in the flesh:
