Even though it is premature to talk about the
Infinix Hot S5 as the Infinix S4 recently went on sale, the smartphone appeared
on the Google Play Console revealing a few features. The Hot S5 could go on
sale early next year if Infinix sticks to their current launch cycles. But the
leaks hint at an earlier launch, probably towards the last quarter of 2019.
According to the Google Play Console listing, the
Hot S5 features a punch-hole display with the camera on the left side of the
display, similar to the Vivo Z1 Pro. It is likely to be the same 32-megapixel
unit found on the predecessor Infinix Hot S4. The smartphone is likely to
feature an HD display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, 320 PPI pixel
density and an aspect ratio of 20:9.
The Hot S5 could come with a quad-camera setup at
the rear. Even though the details are scarce, there are rumors of a single
48-megapixel lens. It draws power from a MediaTek Helio P22 chipset with 4GB of
RAM, and runs on Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box. The Hot S5 is likely to borrow
the 5,000 mAh battery form the Hot 8. In terms of aesthetics, the device has a
sizeable chin on the bottom while the power and volume rockers are present on
the right edge.
The Infinix Hot S5 seems to be equipped with a
polycarbonate body with a glossy color gradient. The smartphone will compete
with the Realme 3i and the Redmi 8A. Despite revealing a few basic
specifications, the listing leaves a lot to the imagination. Additional details
regarding storage, display size, price and availability should be announced
within the next couple of weeks.
In related news, the last smartphone from Infinix in
India was the Infinix Hot 8. The device flaunts a 6.52-inch HD+ display with a
punch-hole selfie camera. The device is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio
P22 SoC with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of native storage. The smartphone features a
13-megapixel primary camera with a 2-megapixel secondary sensor and an LED
flash module. It features an 8-megapixel lens on the front. The device has a
rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. It is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery and runs
on the Android 9.0 Pie-based XOS 5.0.
