Infinix Hot 3
Infinix Hot 3 is the sequel to the
AndroidOne powered Hot 2, launched back in the third quarter of 2015. The
smartphone drops AndroidOne in its latest iteration and seems built to interest
selfie takers. It also offers a bigger display and comes with a more powerful
battery.
The Infinix Hot 3 X554 exhibits a sleek
appearance, especially on the front. The body is fashioned out of plastic and
finished in diverse colours to suit different tastes. The curvy rear panel is
said to have a nice diamond texture making for comfortable handling. The
Infinix Hot 3 rocks a huge 5.5-inch display, compared to the 5-inch unit found
on the Infinix Hot 2.
However, the resolution of the
full-laminate display remains at HD (720 x 1280 pixels), which means this
device could offer slightly less sharp images compared to its predecessor,
though if the screen is brighter the Hot 3 may turnout sharper. Looking at the
specs sheet, you could say nothing has changed between the Infinix Hot 3 and
Hot 2 in the camera department, higher there appears to be some significant
changes. This new phablet offers a combo of 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and
2-megapixel front-facing camera for image capturing. The back camera uses an
OV8865 sensor and boasts a 5-element lens for better light intake efficiency to
further ensure great-looking images. It is HDR-compatible as well.
While the resolution of the front
snapper may appear measly, Infinix Mobility promises 'hottest selfies' as this
comes with soft flash and boasts an 84-degree wide-angle lens. The cameras are
accompanied by a range of impressive features, including smile, voice and
gesture recognition as well as touch capture.
The Infinix Hot 3 is equipped to offer
about the same level of performance as its predecessor. It is kitted with a
quad-core MediaTek MT6580 processor, which gets support from either 1 GB or 2
GB of RAM. Onboard storage capacity is 16 GB, expandable by up to 32 GB with
external storage media. The phablet boots Android 5.1 Lollipop OS coated with a
XUI skin said to have been optimised to deliver long standby time.
Power is provided to the Infinix Hot 3
by a 3,000 mAh battery, more powerful than the 2,200mAh juicer on the Hot 2. Talk
time of up to 20 hours and web browsing of up to 9 hours are promised on a
charge. The handset boasts reverse charging capability enabling you to boost
other mobile devices with this battery.
Infinix Hot 3 is currently available at
leading online stores in Nigeria. Infinix Hot 3 Price in Nigeria ranges between
26,500 to 37,000 Naira, depending on your location in the country.
