This New Smartphone Just Launched. Guess The Price...

We can play some games on here. They've got something instant app freaking me out right now

I can play the game instantly. Is this Doom? Oh my god, I just..

I got the instant games. It just takes me, just took me to a web browser and all of a sudden I'm shooting

Okay. All right, I'll take it. So I featured this smartphone brand a little while ago

It was new to me at the time. It's going to be new to a lot of you as well

It's called Infinix and it may have recently become available in your area

It's all about the value for money. It actually kind of follows up on some of the phones I've been starting to cover here on the channel

Targeted at different price points other than, you know, the flagship $1,000 type of thing

This one is going to come in around $250. bucks it's the Infinix 08 and one trend that I like to see happening here as well as in some

other budget devices but actually kind of rarely at this price point is fast charging so this one

is going to have 33 watt fast charging with a 4500 milliamp hour battery some other specs on the 08

128 GB storage 8 gigs of ram android 10 48 megapixel plus 8 megapixel on the front so that's

a fairly high resolution selfie camera the rear 64 plus 8 plus 2 plus 2 there's a macro camera on

here it's going to have the helio g 90 10 processor on the inside again that's a consequence of the

price point and the target it's not going to be a snapdragon in there 6.85 inch fhd plus but it's

going to have a 90 hertz display which again we're starting to see this type of spec pop up

at more affordable prices. It has a fingerprint scanner which is on the side of the device

Apparently some liquid cooling technology as well. Anyway, as you can tell, I have a few of them on the table here

The color is called Silver Diamond. And the extra five units are actually going to be for giveaway

So you can head over to my Twitter account and the details will be there. I'll put a tweet out

It's a lot of giveaways going on over there. So you're going to want to make sure you follow me on Twitter

as well as subscribe to Unbox Therapy here on YouTube. Okay, so let's crack into the Infinix 08 and see what we are working with

Okay, once again, we get a better idea of the specs on the front

Pull the device out. I'm going to put it to the side for a moment and check the other items inside of the package

So there's a little bit of paperwork, a SIM card tool. We have a case to get you up and running

This is a standard kind of clear case. You've also got a headset and it's a 3.5 mil headset

with an inline microphone. So I assume that means we have a headphone jack

on a device. There's also your USB-C to type A cable. And this is the charger that I was talking about

capable of 33 watt charging on a device. When you convert it for US dollars

that comes in around 250 bucks somewhere in there. All right, so the most striking thing

That's sort of where my eyes go right away is this hole punch style cutout

which showcases two front facing cameras rather than the usual one So it this pill style shape which is gonna give you one kind of standard focal length for a selfie and then you also gonna have the wide angle

which I've been a fan of in the past. For the group shots, you just wanna fit more people

into the frame. I'm gonna remove this front sticker. And the rear one

And that is the diamond silver, is that what they're, silver diamond and the diamond theme sort of follows through to the

rear of the device with the shape of the camera cutout camera module

I actually kind of like this symmetry thing they've done here where even the flash is it sort of fits in line with the various cameras

This silver color has a kind of it has a kind of rainbow effect

depending on the angle that the light is hitting it. So it's not just straight up silver

it will actually reflect a variety of colors, and I hope you can pick that up on the camera

As we look around the device over here, we've got the USB type C connector, speaker unit

that's your 3.5 mil headphone jack. Sim card tray is on this side

and then over here, you have your power switch doubling as your fingerprint scanner

I'm a fan of these. They tend to be a little bit faster

capacitive buttons on the side of the device when I compare them head to head with a lot of the in-screen

fingerprint scanners that you will also see in smartphones plenty of smartphones in 2020 so I don't mind that you're probably gonna have some face unlock options as well

You have your volume rocker up above there now. I'm gonna go ahead and see if this has some battery on it

Oh look at that some zebras I'm curious about the display setup. I always want to check here first when I hear that there's a high refresh rate

I want to know what is going to come with out of the box So if I head over here, you can see it says 90 Hertz smoother animations

Also an option for 60 Hertz for longer battery life and then an auto switch for a refresh rate

That's variable depending on the situation Maybe if you have a game that calls for it

Remember, the thing about these higher refresh rates is they don't just make the phone feel snappier when you're in the OS, sort of moving around, scrolling text and things like this

But they also can work within certain games that don't have a capped frame rate and can actually take advantage of something like 90 FPS

There's not a lot of them, but I've tested it on a number of devices in the past

This gives you your best look yet at that pill style cutout in the top corner, how that's going to look on the device comparative, how you're going to get your screen to body ratio appearance there

Alright, so strikes me right away. Obviously, I'm dealing with an LCD display. There's no OLED here

Now, I have to adjust my expectations for the price point. Obviously, I've examined many more expensive devices that may have OLED technology

but you're just not going to find that for the most part at this price point so you have to make

the adjustments in your perspective when evaluating something like this i'm gonna go ahead and just

load up a youtube video real quick get a sense for the speakers as well how about a loo later

episode get a sense for the dialogue volume over here screens galaxy fold z fold new one coming up

the flipping you had the Razer Everybody trying to figure out what So it fairly loud It lacking a little bit in the low end you know it a I say it kind of an average smartphone speaker it gonna get the job done

how about we jump into the camera now so it looks like we have a 1x a 2x and a 0.6x on here so

I'm gonna go ahead and I'll just take the 1x by the way by default it's in a sort of AI camera mode

I'm gonna snap this real quick. 1x. 0.6 for the wide angle

And 2x on the zoom. And then I guess if I wanted to do super macro

that's a whole different setting in the camera section and I'll just kinda come in here

and try to get a really close focus maybe on this text right here, we'll see

Alright so there's your macro. You're picking up the steel and the tiny text on the tool there

And if I just scroll through that's your 2x zoom. There you have your wide and that's your standard camera which is going to be the best performer of the bunch

So you are going to get some camera versatility in here. Get all your different focal ranges covered

Now the other thing I want to try out is this side mounted fingerprint scanner. I want to check the speed on that

It does also have an option for face unlock. I'm going to do the fingerprint though

This is straightforward stuff. It's just like an in display except it's over on the side

And the nice thing about this implementation is that's where your power switch is anyways

So your thumb lands there kind of by default and then it's unlocked before you know it in a split second

Let's see how fast this one is. I hope it's a split second. Yeah, it's a split second

Look at that. That's one thing you kinda miss out on to a certain extent with the end display

Now, the end display has the advantage if it's on the table, you can reach up and touch it

versus this one where you gotta pick it up, but once you're there, it's almost instantaneous

and your thumb wants to rest there anyways. So I'll put up with these. One thing that does happen though

when you do slam the fingerprint scanner in there, you often end up with a slightly thicker device

Now let's go ahead and see if we can play some games on here

They've got something, instant app, freaking me out right now. I can play the game instantly

Is this Doom? Oh my God, I just. I got the instant games

It just takes me, just took me to a web browser and all of a sudden I'm shooting. Okay

All right, I'll take it. A little bit danger dash. There it is

I think I went longer than you expected there. Yeah, some pretty loud volume

You can game on it. I know that probably people have questions, especially those that have been used to

having a Qualcomm chip, for example, and you're wondering, can I, what can I do

Can I play some games? And I've seen this device and this particular chip tested

It can play pretty much any title you wanna throw at it It not gonna be the greatest gaming performer It to compete with those top tier Snapdragons but it going to get the job done which is kind of the idea at this particular price point

Alright, so one of the key features, maybe the key feature with this phone

or for any phone at this price point right now, it's the new feature that people have started to get their hands on

at this price point, which is fast charging. Some level, some degree of fast charging

In this case it's 33 watts and you know I want to check the animation

Because I get, you know that it gets me going right? We've covered this previously

If I'm fast charging I want to know I'm fast charging. Let's see what they did. Are you gonna tell me I'm fast charging

Ah, super charge! You gotta see it! And you can watch it clock up in real time

I just love it. Alright, call me crazy. But to be able to, you know, because you plug the charger in, you're in a panic

It's a rough day. You're late for the task. And you need a little juice

And you just go like this. And you're like, go, go. Are you going? Are you going

Okay, you're charging. Fine. And then you see the super charge. And it's a different level of confidence as you watch the power increase in real time

So that's pretty cool. I love to see that trickle down to the more affordable smartphones

is something I've been using on many smartphones, but it's kind of a funny thought

that there's still some very premium priced smartphones in 2020 that are not gonna charge as fast

as something like this at a far more affordable price point. So it's cool to see it there

I'm sure many people will be attracted to it. Oh, I didn't do the selfie test

This one has two selfie cameras, so I gotta do that real quick

and see if we can pick up the beard hairs or not

Here we go. Three, two, one. And three, two, one. We have two different shots

There is your wide, and there is your standard. The standard one looks a lot better to my eyeballs, the quality of it, sharpness, contrast compared to the wide

But I guess the wide serves a purpose to try to get that group shot going if you want to make this a practical component there

But the superior one is the standard focal range. All right, what can I say

Look, it's a budget smartphone. It's a value-for-money smartphone, I should say

Whether or not you call it budget kind of depends on the market in which it's being sold

And you may be considering it. But at this price point, it's quite a feature set

And it may not necessarily be the best at any one given thing

But what you're really looking at here is the spec list for the money

fast charge 4500 mAh battery versatility of cameras at least even if they're not the best

in the world you've got at least a bunch of them to choose from in this case four different

cameras including an actual macro which doesn't look that bad so it's the 08 from Infinix and

just remember I got a bunch of them a bunch of extras to give away that is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 make
