The INOOV8 is an easy handset to use and sports all the sports, plugs and fittings that could hope for a high-end handset. The right hand side is camera town with a dedicated camera shutter key, the microSD card slot and a switch for navigating between camera and video mode and opening the gallery. The volume/camera zoom rocker is on the opposite side above a 3.5mm headphone socket. The screen is sharp and clear with great viewing angles, but isn’t as bright as other phones and is near impossible to view under sunlight. The standard navigation key layout is added to by two extra shortcut buttons and an optical mouse jammed into the middle of the five way navigation button.
