Infinix Hot 8 Review: Pros & Cons
7.9
out of 10
MSP SCORE
Pros
The Infinix Hot 8 has a 5000mAh battery which assures you a good two days of use on a single charge. The triple camera system is quite decent for the price as the competitors typically offer single or dual cameras on the rear. The screen is larger than most of the alternatives in this price range.
Cons
The OS is Infinix’s own XOS, which isn’t the best Android OS out there. The chipset is strictly okay in terms of performance and you will definitely feel it struggling at times during processor-intensive tasks.
Verdict
The Infinix Hot 8 offers good value for money and the battery life is a big plus. Infinix is able to match the features offered by the more popular brands in the budget segment and in some cases even surpass them. Definitely a worthy option to look at when buying a phone in the budget segment.
