InFocus M812

The InFocus M812 rocks a fairly large 5.5-inch IPS LCD display which bears a resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels, which roughly translates to a pixel density of about 400ppi. The colours looked extremely vibrant and vivid. The M812 has a sharp screen and we couldn’t discern any pixels whatsoever. The images didn’t blur and the text and icons appeared crisp. The viewing angles, however, are just average. You will find a slight hint of blue when looking at the screen from extreme angles. Coming to the brightness of the screen, it was not an issue while we were indoors. The screen looks bright enough and doesn’t reflect at all. However, sunlight legibility is only average and could be an issue. The display settings come with a Bluelight Filter. You can also choose between Standard screen mode or Dynamic screen mode. While the difference is minute, the Dynamic screen mode looks more vivid. The Color Temperature setting lets you change the tones to warmer or cooler hues, if you wish.

The InFocus M812 runs the brand’s proprietary In Life UI which is based on Android 5.0 Lollipop. The experience you get is almost stock but there quite some tweaks and a few preloaded apps that come along with the In Life UI. For instance the first thing you will notice are the modified icons. The quick settings menu can be rearranged and customised as per need. When you open the settings in the M812, there’s an option to choose between the Tab mode and the List mode. While the former segregates all the settings under different tabs, the latter, as the name suggests, simply lists them one after the other.

The InFocus M812 rocks a 13-megapixel shooter on its back along with a dual-tone LED flash. On the front, the smartphone comes equipped with an 8MP snapper with an 80-degree wide angle lens.

All the action in the InFocus M812 takes place with the help of a Snapdragon 801 CPU with four cores clocked at 2.5GHz. There’s an Adreno TM 330 GPU handling graphics. The processor of the InFocus M812 is coupled with an abundant 3GB of RAM, and it did reflect in our usage. We pretty much ran all the apps that were there on our demo device and the M812 handled them all with only minor stutters and negligible lag. But we didn’t let the smartphone go that easily.
