Infinix Note 8 reviews

The good

The phone has three new upgrades, making it more advanced than the Note 7.

Firstly, The cameras, for starters, have been upgraded. The Infinix Note 8 increased the camera resolution to 64MP from 48MP on Note 7. Note 8 includes twin selfie cameras on the front rather than a single one.

The processor is the second upgrade. The MediaTek Helio G80 processor powers the phone. It’s an octa-core processor that’s somewhat faster and more powerful than the G70 in Note 7.

The USB-type C charging port, now available in the Note 8 series, is the final improvement. Those are the three enhancements you will receive if you purchase the device.

The bad

Although the phone has excellent qualities, the Infinix Note 8 has terrible reviews. Users of the phone complain that the phone hangs unnecessarily, especially when using it for gaming.

Another issue users complained about was the fingerprint. They reported that they could not find it under security settings on the phone.
