With big thanks to the gaming chipset on the device. The Infinix Note 8 Mediatek Helio G80 SOC comes with an expectation for high-performance. Infinix Mobility says the phone is built for speed. Well, the octa-core processor is expected to run at a speed of 2.0 GHz and also has a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU for crystal clear graphics.
Fo a mild comparison though, this is way better than Note 7 that has a G70 chip. Though the Note 8 is not the leading smartphone out there, since there are others slightly ahead with the Helio G85. For storage, Infinix Note 8 has a large 128GB Inbuilt memory, coupled with 6GB RAM. This storage is expandable via a micro SDcard but not beyond 128GB.

There is also dual engine technology enabled on the device that reduces the heat by 8 degrees Celsius while charging.
The Infinix Note 8 lack 5G network which is quite understandable but there is a fast 4G network and other nice features as well.
