Infinix Hot S is a premium looking smartphone
from Infinix. It is the first smartphone from the
company to feature a fingerprint sensor. The
Infinix Hot S seems like a reversal of the Infinix
philosophy of ‘bigger is better’ as the phone with
its 5.2-inch display is the most compact phone the
company has built for a while.
So a move to 5.2-inch could be a change in
direction. And personally, I think it is in the right
direction.
Infinix Hot S looks premium with curves on the
edges, metal frame, and is available in rose gold,
gold, black, silver, and blue.
Infinix Hot S features a 5.2-inch display with 1080
x 1920 pixels resolution. If raw specs is anything
to go by, a full HD display will give the Hot S one
of the best displays from Infinix for a while.
The Cameras
Infinix Hot S could have potential in photography.
On the back, you have a 13 megapixels camera
with dual LED flash and on the front is an 8
megapixels wide-angle camera with a soft LED
flash.
Hardware and Software
Infinix Hot S is powered by a 64-bit SoC. The
processor offers 8-cores and is expected to clock at
up to 1.5GHz. Two versions of the Hot S will be
available; one offering 16GB storage and 2GB of
RAM and the other with 32GB storage and 3GB of
RAM.
No matter the version you pick, you will be able to
extend storage further by up to 128GB using a
microSD card. Infinix Hot S is expected to run on
Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).
The smartphone sports a fingerprint sensor on the
back. This enables you unlock your phone or setup
actions. Infinix Hot S comes with a 3000 mAh
battery and is expected to offer 4G LTE.
Pricing and Availability
Infinix Hot S is not currently available in Nigeria,
but is being anticipated. Infinix Hot S Price in
Nigeria is expected to range between 50,000 to
75,000 Naira at launch, depending on your location
in the country.
