Infinix Hot S – Specs, Price and all You Need to Know

THE Infinix Hot S is the first “Camera specified center” smartphone from the Infinix Mobility Corporation. To be honest, am really amazed by the ingenuity of this Corp. regarding this device.

The very first impression i had, when handling this smartphone was it is specifically designed for the picture loving savvy ones. Since it comes with the standardized 13MP back camera with dual LED flash, and a whooping 8MP front camera. For the price, this is a kill and personally, i feel this is one of the VERY best phone infinix mobility have brought to her customers.

Infinix has insisted on including and integrating a fingerprint scanner in the Infinix Hot S, officially making it the first smartphone from the infinix company to feature a fingerprint sensor. There are several features, not just your normal features, but lots of premium features which are included in this device, making it a huge competition between the Samsung galaxies series and iphone latest versions (iphone 6).

I will be sharing with you, the latest specs. But lets start with some premium features.

The Hot S comes with in a 5.2 inches IPS Full HD screen, the display is sharpened to a 1080 by 1920 pixels resolution, thereby having a PPI of 424 pixels. However, this device screen comes with no protections from falls and scratches. So when you get it, you’ll need to also buy a glass screen guide for it.

The infinix hot S comes with a smashing internal storage of 16GB for the 2GB RAM version, 32GB for the 3GB RAM version. For those who wants much more than this, like all infinix phones, the memory can be expanded. The storage space can be further expanded to 128GB with a micro SD card if you require more space for music, video storage.

The Hot S is set to run on the latest Android 6.0 marshmallow, which comes with the new highly customized XOS from Infinix on top, the XOS promises a more enjoyable user interface.
