Infinix Hot S is a high-end smartphone from the company Infinix. It was the company’s first smartphone to include a fingerprint sensor as well as Android 6.0. The Infinix Hot S appears to be a reversal of the company’s ‘larger is better’ concept, since the phone, with its 5.2-inch display, is the company’s smallest compact phone in a long time. The Infinix S2 and S2 Pro are the successors of the Infinix Hot S.

The Design and Display
Since the launch of the Hot 2 almost a year ago, the Infinix Hot S is the company’s most tiny phone. Since then, the business has released the monstrous 6-inch Infinix Note 2 as well as the equally huge 5.5-inch Infinix Zero 3 and Infinix Hot 3.
As a result, a switch to 5.2-inch could be a step in the right direction. And, personally, I believe it is a positive step in the right way.
The Infinix Hot S has a premium design with curved edges and a metal frame. It comes in rose gold, gold, black, silver, and blue colors.
The Infinix Hot S has a 5.2-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. A full HD display will offer the Hot S one of the best displays from Infinix in a long time, if raw stats are any indication.
The Cameras
The Infinix Hot S, like the Infinix Note 3, has some photographic potential. A 13 megapixel camera with dual LED flash is on the back, while an 8 megapixel wide-angle camera with a soft LED flash is on the front.
Hardware and Software
A 64-bit Kirin 650 SoC powers the Infinix Hot S. The processor will have eight cores with a clock speed of up to 1.5GHz. The Hot S X521 will be available in two versions: one with 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, and the other with 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM.
You can use a microSD card to expand storage by up to 128GB regardless of the version you choose. Android 6.0 is installed on the Infinix Hot S. (Marshmallow).
The smartphone, like the Infinix Hot 4, Note 3, and Hot 5, has a fingerprint sensor on the back. This allows you to unlock your phone or perform other operations. The Infinix Hot S has a 3000 mAh battery and will most likely support 4G LTE.
In Nigeria, the Infinix Hot S supports 4G LTE on MTN, Etisalat, NTel, Smile, and InterC. Safaricom and MTN in Kenya and Ghana, respectively, support LTE.
