Quick answer
As of 28 September 2026, the Infinix Hot 8 is no longer sold new in Nigeria. Used units on Jiji cost about ₦38,000 to ₦45,000, and both live listings were the 32GB version. The last widely quoted new price was from ₦73,990 for the 4GB model (NaijaTechGuide, 2022). The Hot 8 came out in 2019, so it only makes sense as a cheap backup phone. At ₦80,000 to ₦100,000 you can get a used phone that is four years newer.

Infinix Hot 8 price in Nigeria (2026)
The Hot 8 has been discontinued for years. Infinix’s current range on Jumia Nigeria runs from the Hot 30 to the new Hot 70, and we found no Hot 8 handsets there. What’s left is second-hand stock on Jiji and in phone markets.
| Version | Condition | Price seen | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2GB/32GB | Used | ₦38,000 | Ogba, Lagos |
| 32GB | Used | ₦45,000 | Cracked screen but working, Oluyole, Oyo |
| 4GB/64GB | Used | No live listing | Expect to pay somewhat more than for the 32GB, if you find one |
| Any | Brand new | Not available | Last quoted from ₦73,990 (4GB), NaijaTechGuide, April 2022 |
Source: Jiji.ng Infinix Hot 8 listings (2 ads) and Jumia Nigeria Infinix Hot listings, checked 28 September 2026; NaijaTechGuide Infinix Hot 8 page (updated 22 April 2022).
An earlier version of this page gave the Hot 8’s price as ₦170,000. That was never correct. The phone sold new from about ₦74,000, and today a used one costs well under ₦50,000.
Infinix Hot 8 UK-used price
We found no “UK-used” or foreign-used Hot 8 on Jiji in late September 2026. Both ads were Nigerian-used. If a seller offers a “UK-used” Hot 8, the label on its own is not worth extra money on a phone this old. Judge it on condition instead: an original screen, a matching IMEI and a battery that holds its charge. A realistic ceiling for a very clean 4GB/64GB is around the old new price, not above it. Our advice is to stay under ₦50,000.
“Hot 8” vs “Hot 8 Lite”
Many searches are just for “Hot 8”. Note that the Infinix Hot 8 Lite is a different model with its own specs. Check Settings > About phone to see which one a seller has.
What affects the price
- Version. The 4GB/64GB model has the faster Helio P22 chip. The 2GB/32GB model has the weaker Helio A22 and fills up fast.
- Screen condition. Cracks and replacement screens are common on phones this old.
- Battery wear. After around six years, even a 5,000mAh battery won’t last as long as it used to. Get a local repair quote for a new battery and deduct it from your offer.
- Box and receipt make the phone easier to resell and show it’s less likely to be stolen.
- Location. Lagos sellers can charge more, but they also have more stock to compare.

Review: how the Hot 8 holds up in 2026
What’s still good. The 5,000mAh battery was large for 2019 and is still the phone’s strongest point, as long as the battery hasn’t worn out. The 6.52-inch screen is big enough for WhatsApp, YouTube and reading. The dedicated fingerprint sensor and headphone jack are useful for everyday use.
What’s aged badly. The Helio P22 and A22 are entry-level chips. They manage calls, chat and social apps, but newer versions of those apps are heavier than they were in 2019. The 13MP main camera from 2019 is well behind the 50MP sensors on today’s budget phones. The phone launched on Android 9, so check that your bank app and any other apps you rely on still install and run before you buy. Charging is over microUSB, not USB-C.
Verdict. Buy a Hot 8 only if it is cheap (roughly ₦35,000 to ₦45,000), in good condition, and needed as a backup phone, a shop phone for WhatsApp orders or a child’s first phone. For daily use as your main phone, the options below are much better value.
Better options at the same budget in 2026
If you were planning to spend Hot 8 money (under ₦50,000), know that the cheapest new smartphone we found on Jumia Nigeria was the itel A100C at ₦103,040. The best upgrades are either a newer used phone or a new entry-level model.
| Phone | Condition | Price seen (Sept 2026) | Why consider it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infinix Hot 40i (128GB) | Used | ₦90,000 – ₦165,000 | Infinix’s budget Hot model from 2023: Unisoc T606, 90Hz, 50MP, 5,000mAh, 18W |
| Tecno Spark 20 (128GB) | Used | ₦80,000 – ₦138,000 | Helio G85, 90Hz, 50MP main and 32MP selfie cameras, 18W |
| itel A100C (2GB/32GB or 64GB) | New | ₦103,040 – ₦116,570 | Cheapest new option, with a warranty, 6.6″ screen and 5,000mAh battery |
| Infinix Smart 20 (4GB/64GB) | New | ₦156,316 – ₦175,000 | Helio G81, 6.78″ 120Hz, 5,200mAh, Android 16 |
| Infinix Hot 70 (4GB/128GB) | New | ₦212,105 – ₦269,999 | The current Hot (May 2026): Helio G100 Ultimate, 120Hz, 50MP, 6,000mAh, 45W charging |
Prices: Jiji.ng used listings and Jumia Nigeria new listings (official and marketplace sellers), checked 28 September 2026. Specs: GSMArena and the Jumia listing titles.
Worked example. A used 32GB Hot 8 costs about ₦38,000 to ₦45,000. The cheapest used 128GB Hot 40i we saw was ₦90,000, roughly double the price. For that you get four times the storage, a 50MP camera, a 90Hz screen and 18W charging on a phone four years newer. If ₦90,000 is too much, a Hot 8 at under ₦45,000 is a reasonable stopgap while you save.

How to avoid fakes and stolen phones
- Dial *#06#. The IMEI must match the box and Settings. Check it with Carlcare, the official after-sales service for Infinix, Tecno and itel, which offers warranty and “Verify Authenticity” checks. Carlcare explains how.
- Check the version. Settings > About phone shows the RAM and storage. Don’t pay 4GB/64GB money for a 2GB/32GB phone.
- Inspect the screen for cracks, lifted edges and yellow patches, which are signs of a cheap replacement.
- Test all the cameras and the flash, the fingerprint sensor, both SIMs, the headphone jack and microUSB charging.
- Buy in person, pay after testing, and never send a “delivery deposit” to an online seller you haven’t met.
Scammers also pretend to be real companies. Wigmore Trading’s safety page lists its only official channels. Check any seller that carefully before you pay.
