The Infinix Note 8 has finally been launched in Kenya. This is the latest smartphone from the company and the second Note series to launch in Kenya this year. The phone was launched to a global audience last week and now it is making its way to Kenya.
The Infinix Note 8 comes to Kenya a few months after the launch of the Note 7 which I loved for its amazing cameras. Besides that, the phone was pretty good and handled tasks with ease. I am expecting the same with the Note 8 as it comes with a better processor.
The Infinix Note series is known for its big size and even bigger batteries and the Note 8 is not any different. It has a massive 6.95-inch display which is huge but still usable with just one hand. I have used this display and it is sharp and to be quite honest, better than what I was expecting. As for the battery, it has a 5,200 mAh one which supports 18W fast charging.
Below are some of the key specifications of this phone.
