Hong Kong-based smartphone maker Infinix has always been known for its budget friendly smartphones and just recently launched “Infinix hot 8” which is the successor to Infinix hot 7.
Infinix hot 8 has been trending online for several days but Infinix made it official three days ago by launching this smartphones in India for Rs.6,999 which is equivalent to $97.

The rear camera is also supported by a flash with four LEDs, while the front possesses an 8 megapixel camera with 1: 2.0 aperture and a special LED flash.
