Design and Display
At this pricing, the Infinix Hot 5 cannot be considered to disappoint in terms of appearance, with its slick looking body. For a device in this price category, it is neither excessively big nor too thick. It will be available in a range of colors, including gold.
The Infinix Hot 5 is dubbed a “mobile cinema” because of its huge 5.5-inch IPS display. The display features a 720 x 1280 pixel resolution. While the colors will not be spectacular, it should provide a pleasant viewing experience on a large screen.
Camera and Storage
On the back of the Infinix Hot 5, there is an 8 megapixel sensor with autofocus. For selfies, there’s a 5 megapixel camera on the front. Except for photography fanatics, this combination should serve for most users. There is 16 GB of storage available. You can expand storage by up to 128 GB via a microSD card slot.
Performance and OS
This one will deliver performance that is slightly better than the usual cheap smartphone these days. A quad-core MediaTek processor clocked at 1.3 GHz powers the Infinix Hot 5.
The addition of 2 GB of RAM appears to be likely to give it a boost. The Infinix Hot 5 runs on Android 7.0 Nougat and runs version 2.2 of its maker’s XOS software.
Other Specs and Features
The battery is still the Infinix Hot 5’s biggest selling point. It has a massive 4000 mAh battery beneath the hood. With rapid charge technology support, you can expect roughly 4 hours of talk time with a 5-minute charge.
The fingerprint scanner on the back of the Infinix Hot 5 adds to its charm. USB OTG, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with hotspot are among the connectivity options. However, unlike other more expensive Infinix Phones, it is not appear that you will receive 4G support here.
However, similar to the Hot4, a Pro version of the Infinix Hot 5 is anticipated to be released in the future. There are two SIM card slots on it, as you might assume.
