These dimensions immediately suggest that it will be difficult to carry it in your pocket. Weighing 213 grams, two-handed interaction is also recommended. Putting that aside, the Infinix Note 8 offers a nice and unpretentious design. The game with colors on the back panel makes a pleasant impression. It changes color depending on the angle you look at it.

To enter the budget class, the design of the Infinix Note 8 does not use materials such as glass and metal. Its body is made entirely of plastic, including the frame. However, this did not affect the quality of workmanship. The smartphone is pleasant to the touch.

If you look more closely at the device, you will see that it does not have an LED indicator. The manufacturer has opted for two bright LED flashes, which not only work when taking photos and videos, but can also notify incoming calls. To do this, you must specify this in the settings.
