Infinix Smart 8 Plus

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Infinix Smart 8 Plus at Rs 26,999 makes a strong case for battery-focused buyers with its 6000 mAh cell — 20 percent larger than the 5000 mAh standard, translating to roughly two to three extra hours of screen-on time between charges. The Helio G36 processor is a budget chip that handles basic tasks — calls, messaging, light browsing — without significant lag, though the PowerVR GE8320 GPU is one of the weaker graphics processors available and will struggle with anything beyond simple games. The 50 MP main camera with autofocus is a welcome inclusion at this price: autofocus prevents blurry shots when subjects move, a real-world benefit that many budget phones skip. The Ring-LED flash around the camera module provides more even illumination than standard single-point LEDs. The 6.6-inch display at 267 PPI with 500-nit peak brightness is adequate for daily use and remains visible outdoors. With 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, memory is tight — the operating system consumes roughly 12 to 15 GB, leaving limited room for apps and media. The 8 MP selfie camera is functional for social media. This phone suits buyers who need maximum battery life and a decent camera at the lowest possible cost. The Sego Note 70 Limited Edition at Rs 24,149 saves you Rs 2,850 and doubles the storage to 128 GB while matching the 5000 mAh battery capacity. However, the Infinix's 6000 mAh cell outlasts the Sego by a significant margin — enough for some users to skip a full day of charging. The Smart 8 Plus's 50 MP camera with autofocus also captures more reliably focused images than the Sego's 13 MP unit without confirmed autofocus. The Infinix's Ring-LED flash provides more even lighting for night photos than standard single LEDs. The Sego counters with double the storage, which matters if you store many photos and apps locally. Both phones use budget processors with unknown real-world speed differences. For buyers who prioritise battery endurance and camera autofocus, the Infinix Smart 8 Plus justifies its premium; the Sego appeals to those who want more storage and lower upfront costs.
