The Infinix Hot 5 is finally here!
The Hot 5 is an upgrade of the Hot 4 and packs a budget specifications profile with the highlight being a set of dual speakers and a fingerprint sensor.
That said, here is what the Hot 5 has to offer.
What makes the Hot 5 awesome?
Price
If you are shopping while on a tight budget (under Ksh. 10,000 to be specific), the Hot 5 is an awesome choice for you. With a price tag of Ksh. 8,499, the Hot 5 targets those balling on a budget.
Audiophiles
If you like to listen to music, or simply, you rely mostly on your phone for entertainment the Hot 5 is a fine choice for you.
The phone packs dual speakers that are powered by the Dirac audio software and thus you can rest assured of a smooth music/movie playback experience.
Battery
Battery Capacity: Battery 4000mAh
The Infinix Hot 5 packs a large 4000 mAh battery. That battery is huge and you can therefore expect some awesome performance.
The battery is great especially when watching movies, or if you are always on the move and can’t spare moments to recharge the phone.
Cons of the Infinix Hot 5
The biggest con of the Hot 5 is that the phone is hardly an upgrade of the Hot 5. Apart from the Dirac speaker and Android Nougat 7.0, the Hot 5 is strikingly similar to the Hot 4.
