Infinix Hot 8 Lite
Overview
The Infinix Hot 8 Lite is the most basic version of the recently launched Infinix Hot 8. I said most basic because, in all, there are two other versions of the hot 8; one with an octa-core Helio P22 CPU, and the other with a Quad-core Helio A22 CPU, and both of them has support for 4G LTE network. But the Hot 8 Lite on the other hand, has a Quad-core MT6580P CPU, and does not have support for 4G LTE network. Well, it still does have same 6.6-inch IPS HD+ display, with 720 x 1600 pixels resolution, with Waterdrop notch above the screen. The above mention CPU is a Quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU clocked at 1.3GHz, along with Mali-400MP2. Interestingly, it also has a 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage and upto 32GB via microSD card. The Hot 8 Lite is also, a bit, limited in it camera segment; the device is only given a dual rear camera, instead of the triple rear sensors used on the other variants of the Hot 8. The rear sensors are a combination of 8 MP + 0.3 MP for the back, and a single 8-megapixel front-facing sensor, kept in the overhead notch. What’s more? You are also getting a rear placed fingerprint scanner, and of course, a FaceID. But most importantly, is the presence of the same large 5000mAh built-in battery used in the other versions of Hot 8. The Hot 8 Lite runs on Android 9.0 Pie out of the box, based on Infinix XOS 5.0 Cheetah. Other key specifications and silent features of the Infinix Hot 8 Lite are detailed in the table below.

How do you mean not multi-touching?, you mean you can’t use multiple fingers during all game play or only when playing PSP games using PPSSPP?
Only when playing psp games using PPSSPP
Ok bro. Then the problem is not from your Hot 8 device, but from the PSP Emulator you are using. Perhaps, the app is not properly optimized for all phones.
your phone is OK bro. just go to settings and disable gestures. that’s the feature that allows you to screenshot by sliding down 3 fingers and others. Your ppsspp will run smoothly once you disable it. Thank you
