The Infinix Smart 5 boasts an up to standard technical profile with its major highlights being the massive 5000mAh battery and the large 6.6-inch HD+ screen that comes with it.

Display
Display Size: 6.6-inch
Display Type: IPS LCD
Screen Resolution: 720 x 1600 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 266 PPI
The Infinix Smart 5 sports a 6.6-inch HD+ display and 720 x 1600 Pixels resolution. The display size is quite enormous but not as big as the Infinix Hot 10 Play. I’d say 6.6 inches is just the right size to easily access apps and menus and still large enough to be the perfect gaming and media companion.
As for the Display type, thumbs up to Infinix for choosing the costly IPS LCD despite the Smart 5 being a budget smartphone. The 266 PPI screen resolution density is also quite good with the additional support for 16M colors.
Design
Dimensions: 165.4 x 76.4 x 8.8 mm
Infinix went ahead and gave the Smart 5 a unique design that they call the Gem Cut Texture and we have to say, it looks fantastic. The design creates subtle patterns and color variations to every changing angle that makes it look irresistible.
And not only do you get an alluring phone but light and easy-to-grip experience that is unmatched by most budget smartphones. The Smart 5 is available in three color options. These are Ocean Wave, Quetzal Cyan, and Midnight Black.
