Infinix Hot 8



Infinix Hot 8 has launched a slew of affordable phones in the past few months, packing features such as triple rear cameras in models that cost as little as Ksh.10,800. The company's latest offering, the Infinix Hot 8, is no different. It has a fresh gradient design on its rear panel and borrows from its siblings elements such as triple rear cameras, an entry-level MediaTek processor, and a large battery. Is that strategy enough to make the Infinix Hot 8 a phone we can recommend, especially over well-received options from Realme and Xiaomi? We review the Infinix Hot 8 to find out.
