NIKKE: Goddess of Victory, Korean developer Shift Up’s saucy gacha shooter, is one of the biggest mobile games on the planet, raking in upwards of $25 million per month according to Sensor Tower data. It’s always felt inevitable, then, that the studio will draw upon the game’s enormous audience to promote upcoming PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade – and quizzed on whether that’ll be the case, Game Director Hyung-Tae Kim cryptically confirmed in an interview with Push Square that it will.
Infinix Smart 8 review: Awe-inspiring design with 'Magic Ring' at a pocket-friendly price
25.01.2024 - 11:05 / tech.hindustantimes.com
Infinix Smart 8 review: Time and again, Infinix has rolled out competitive smartphones in the mid-range and budget segments with the promise of delivering on users' basic requirements and then some. So, even as we talk about its smartphone's capabilities, know that Infinix has gained its reputation for bringing high-performing gaming smartphones. Now, with latest handset, Infinix Smart 8, the company has brought new features and a special design and still managed to keep it in the budget segment. So, although it is a smartphone that falls under the Rs.10000 segment, it features a Dynamic Island-like feature called Magic Ring that provides as many as four functionalities. Additionally, the LED ring light and its textured plastic design will be a standout feature that should put it ahead in the budget phone market.
But the question that will arise in potential buyers' minds is whether the smartphone's looks and a few attractive features are enough. Well, that is exactly what we will explore in detail.

Now, does it excel in the performance and multi-tasking departments as the company has portrayed it? Read on.
The Infinix Smart 8 features a glow texture design that gives a premium look to the smartphone. As much as I was impressed by its colour, camera matrix and LED ring flash, I found the smartphone to be too boxy. If you are a selfie lover, clicking one-hand pictures could be tricky due to its structure. Yes, please note that the smartphone is quite big, so it does require bigger hands for smooth handling. The smartphone surprisingly does not attract any fingerprint or dust, making it look clean and shiny all the time.
In terms of display, the Infinix Smart 8 features a 6.6-inch HD+ IPS punch-hole display with 500nits peak brightness and up to 90Hz refresh rate. It features thick bezels around the screen at the bottom. If we talk brightness, then it provides great colors and details giving a satisfactory experience when indoors, but in outdoor conditions, you may face problems with viewing the content. Streaming was not a bother at all as I watched quite a few shows and movies on the smartphone such as Koffee with Karan, Berlin, and The Grey Man, making it a quite a good experience. When it comes to smooth navigation and touch sensitivity, the smartphone falls short of being as responsive as it should be, but it's adequate for most tasks.
Now, the stand-out feature of Infinix Smart 8 is its Magic Ring which has a pill-shaped notch, quite like that of iPhone's Dynamic Island. While the functionalities of the feature are quite limited, it provides information such as battery

What’s up with the 'toxicity' around Cities: Skylines II?
Cities: Skylines II developer Colossal Order has a uniquely close relationship with its community. The original Cities: Skylines came out in 2015 and gobbled up the audience that was left behind by EA’s SimCity, which came out in 2013 and was a busted mess. Cities: Skylines scratched that urban-planning itch, plus it cost just $30. The game came first to PC, Mac and Linux with modest hardware requirements, and it hit consoles within two years. Critically, Cities: Skylines also supported mods through the Steam Workshop, allowing players to add their own tools to the game and share those features with others.
