This ultra-cheap $75 smartphone offers a “premium” design and a 90Hz screen. Infinix Smart 8 HD unveiled

Infinix has announced the Smart 8 HD smartphone with a price of just $75. At the same time, the device is equipped much better than many smartphones priced at $100-120.
But it’s worth starting not even with this, but with design. As you can see, Infinix does not betray itself and even made an ultra-budget smartphone so that it stands out: the back cover seems to have a relief pattern. The company itself even uses the expression “premium design,” but this, of course, is on its conscience.
From a technical point of view, the device is not bad, and for such a price it is very good. It is based on the Unisoc T606 SoC, which scores about 240,000 points in AnTuTu 10. There is 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash memory, a 13-megapixel main camera and a 5000 mAh battery. And the 6.6-inch screen with HD+ resolution also supports a frame rate of 90 Hz. In addition, there is an element that imitates the Dynamic Island of the iPhone.
It remains to add that the dimensions here are 164 x 75.6 x 8.5 mm with a weight of 184 g.
