Infinix Hot 5 | X559C (2GB)

Infinix Hot 5 is a fifth generation offering in the Hot
series of affordable smartphones. The device packs a powerful battery,
fingerprint scanner and Android 7.0 (Nougat). Infinix Hot 5 succeeds the
Infinix Hot 4.

Design and Display

Showing
off a cool looking body, the Infinix Hot 5 cannot be said to disappoint in
terms of looks at this price. It is neither too bulky nor too thick for a
device in this range. You will be able to get it in a variety of colours,
including gold.

Dubbed a
‘mobile cinema,’ the Infinix Hot 5 sports a large 5.5-inch IPS display. The
display has a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. While this will not deliver
extraordinary colours, it should offer enjoyable, wide screen viewing
experience.

Camera and Storage

You will
find an 8 megapixel sensor with autofocus on the rear of the Infinix Hot 5. On
the front is a 5 megapixel snapper for selfies. This combo should suffice for
users, except those who are photography addicts. For storage, there is 16 GB of
space. A microSD card slot lets you expand storage by up to 128 GB.

Performance and OS

You can
expect performance that is slightly better than what an average budget
smartphone offers these days from this one. The Infinix Hot 5 comes equipped
with a quad-core MediaTek processor clocked at 1.3 GHz.

What looks
likely to give it an extra boost is the provision of 2 GB of RAM. Infinix Hot 5
boots version 2.2 of its maker’s XOS software, which runs on Android 7.0
Nougat.

Other Specs and Features

The key
selling point of the Infinix Hot 5 still remains the battery. It packs a
colossal 4000 mAh unit under the hood. You can expect about 4 hours of talk
time from 5-minute charge with fast charge technology support.

The rear
mounted fingerprint scanner adds to the appeal of the Infinix Hot 5. For
connectivity, there are features such as USB OTG, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11
a/b/g/n with hotspot. But it doesn’t look like you’ll be getting 4G support
here.

However
like in the Hot4, it is likely that a Pro version of the Infinix Hot 5 could be
offered in future. As you would expect, there are two SIM card slots on it.
