The Hot 8 Lite is one of the two smartphones Infinix has announced for the Kenyan market. These are the successors to the Infinix Hot 7 that was ok but not great. The Hot series is the company’s entry-level series made up of affordable devices, mostly under Ksh 10,000.
The Hot 8 is the latest one to make its way to Kenya.
With the Infinix Hot 8 Lite in Kenya, the company is targeting those who are looking for a feature-packed smartphone at an affordable price. The Hot 8 Lite shares a lot with the Hot 8 with some key differences being the processors and the Lite variant being 3G enabled while the non-Lite variant supporting 4G.
I am not a fan of 3G smartphones in this day and age considering the fact that we have seen even cheaper devices supporting 4G. Check out the Infinix Hot 8 unboxing video below.
The Hot 8 Lite is available in the country for Ksh 9,999 through Infinix branded shops. This is the best price in Kenya and The lowest price in nairobi. This is a competitive price segment and Infinix wants to dominate it with the Hot 8 Lite. I will hopefully be reviewing this phone very soon and will share my experience with it if that happens.
