Infinix Mobility, Nigeria’s leading smartphone brand announces the launch of the hottest smartphone of them all Hot 5 and HOT 5 Lite themed #MyMobilecinema. The smartphone will be available exclusively on Jumia Nigeria at N37, 500 and Infinix Hot 5 lite for N32, 000 and will offer 2GB RAM with 16GB internal storage.
The Infinix Hot 5 and HOT 5 Lite was launched on the 29th of August 2017 at Ikeja City Mall, Lagos. The phone comes with a 5.50-inch touchscreen display for users to have a wonderful cinema experience on their mobile devices with a resolution of 720 pixels by 1280 pixels.
The Infinix Hot 5 and HOT 5 Lite is essentially a budget smartphone and it feels like one for the most part. Infinix has used a superb approach to build quality here. While the surroundings is made of metal and a sleek bubble back cover in beautiful colors such as Apple green, Bordeaux red and other fun colors.
The Smartphones is powered by 1.3Ghz MediaTek quad-core processor and it comes with 2GB of RAM. The phone packs 16GB, It also features a dedicated external memory card slot in extension to the 32GB internal storage. The top-notch audio-visual appeal to the public and change the general feeling about watching movies on mobile phones, that is to say the Dirac Stereo technology that creates a high-grade entertainment experience and the dual front-speakers will see to that.
As far as the cameras are concerned, the rear 8MP camera on the two versions is also just about good enough. Images taken in all lighting conditions look Superb, but have ample details and sharpness. The front facing 5MP camera also has the wide angle and normal selfie camera modes. The image quality here is again just good enough, with softer focus, cleaning blemishes and dark spots.
It is powered by Android 7.0 Nougat and the smartphones brings a 4000mAh battery to the table with fast charging ability. You can expect about 4 hours of talk time from 5-minute charge, which is good enough for normal users. Using the phone as a daily driver I found that its battery is highly efficient and maintains its battery life quite well, even if you indulge in watching YouTube videos a lot.
