The dual-SIM Infinix Hot 8 packs a 6.52-inch HD+ (720×1600 pixels) display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and 90.3 percent screen-to-body ratio. The display has a peak brightness of 450 nits and produces decent colours. Even though the display is reflective, viewing content on it was not too bothersome, and the brightness was satisfactory even under daylight. In fact, the Infinix Hot 8 has one of the better displays we have recently seen on a phone in this price segment.
Camera Specification
The 8-megapixel front camera captured photos that can be described as average at best. Sure, they can be posted on social media, but if you are looking for details like skin texture, you’ll be disappointed. Daylight selfies looked vibrant, but some skin smoothening was clearly visible. As for low-light selfies, they were grainy and muted. The Infinix Hot 8 can record video at up to 1080p, but due to a lack of stabilisation, the footage is jerky and there are focusing issues as well.
What is Google Camera (Gcam)
If you’re a mobile photography lover then you should know about the GCam app. But if you don’t know, then the Google Camera app offers plenty of useful features like Portrait mode, AR Stickers, Google Lens suggestion, PhotoSphere, Lens Blur, Night Sight, HDR+ enhanced, RAW image support, and more. All of these features can also be found on other stock camera apps but they can’t be so effective when it comes to the performance.
The Google Camera app simply delivers the best in the class image and video quality even in low lighting conditions. The portrait mode, saturation level, brightness level, exposure, dynamic range, background blur effect with nice edge detection, etc are properly maintained on the images taken from the GCam app. Form the very first use, you can start noticing the difference.
