Design 

The Infinix Zero 8’s design, may not be super exciting, but it does bear design elements that show improvements in Infinix’s smartphone design delivery, particularly when placed it side by side its predecessor, the Infinix Zero 6.

Laying aside the improved aesthetics for a moment, Infinix didn’t really do much in relation to build quality. we still have a combo of Gorilla glass and plastic, in a similar fashion to what we have had on most Infinix smartphones from the past.

On the rear of this mobile phone, we have a dual colour tone finish, on which you will find a camera module with a shape that can be partially described as two triangles joined together from their butts. It’s quite different from what this brand has offered in the past.

90Hz Refresh Rate Display  on An Infinix Smartphone

Mouthing the words on the heading above really sounds kind of weird, because, over the years Infinix has had this tag of being mediocre.

In time past, it was very difficult to imagine an Infinix smartphone with a feature as premium as a 90Hz refresh rate. Fast forward to 2020, the whole game has changed.

The Infinix Zero 8 rocks a 6.85 IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2460, a density of 392 PPI and to crown it all, a 90Hz refresh rate, which makes animated UI elements load faster.
