Infinix Hot S5



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.
