Infinix Hot S Full Review Price Specs Philippines

Well I Guess Infinix Listened and Hot S is now only 5,990 Pesos! especially for Lazada Christmas Sale Till December 12, 2016.

Look here:

Here is another smartphone offering from Infinix! - Hot S!

Infinix Hot S is more handy smartphone that exudes elegant design in sleek metallic finish. Up front you could see selfie camera, navigation capacitive keys and the 5.2 inch HD 720p IPS Display. Screen size is just right with enough brightness and vibrance for movies, games and social media browsing.

Oh here is quick unboxing video. Package includes Unit, Charger, Data Cable, In-Ear Headset, Sim Card Ejector  Pin, Manuals and warranty card.



Inside, Infinix Hot S is powered by Mediatek MT6753 Octa-Core Processor with Mali-T720 GPU complimented with 3GB RAM and 16GB Internal Storage. You can expand storage but you need to sacrifice dual sim functionality as Hot S has a hybrid sim microsd slot. Upon first boot up, you get at least 10GB usable storage. With regards to performance, navigating the XOS UI was smoother, responsive and fluid. Though it is a different story when it comes to heavy games as playing NBA 2K16 in High Settings were met with frame drops and lags. It is recommended therefore to use medium to low settings acceptable gameplay for intensive games. It did not have problems playing Asphalt Xtreme.

Runs the latest XOS Chameleon v2.0.0.runs the latest XOS Chameleon v2.0.0 with system management tools, gesture controls and battery modes. Mirror casting is supported to connect to an external display.

As for sensor, it does have full sets from orientation, proximity, light and gyroscope for augmented and virtual reality as well as fingerprint scanner for personal security.

We were disappointed with the 13MP camera at first but Infinix updated the firmware and fixed everything. Now camera is sharp, vibrant with better dynamic range and focus even in low light.

Shot in daylight

Shot in low Light... Auto (left) Manual (right)

As for the front camera, it delivers great results too.

Hopefully its not hardware and Infinix would just fix the rear camera with software update.

Update! Infinix did made a camera fix for Hot S and now the camera is awesome! Colors are on point, with better dynamic range and low light performance. See Updated Samples!





It does have Manual Mode to give you more creative control. Panorama Mode is present for taking long landscpaes shot and unique Picture in Picture Mode to take Rear and Front Camera at the same time. 1080p video recording is availble.

Has all the basic necessary connectivity like WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as ultra fast LTE for on the go internet. It is a Dual Sim Handset via hybrid sim slot. Like I said previously, if you need more storage then you need to sacrifice one sim to accommodate microSD Slot.

Infinix Hot S carries a 3000mAh battery and supports fast charge. We tested the charger that came with it and charging time 2 and half hours to fully charge the Hot S. Battery life is good though as it manage to last a day and still has more juice left of moderate usage.

Our verdict? Infinix Hot S has good looks, decent performance and endurance in a pocket friendly size. It does not look cheap and offers better and optimize performance with XOS and 3GB RAM. It handles pressure well from games, movies or social media with its long battery life. However one big drawback is the poor outputs from its rear camera. After the update, the rear camera is very very good! If I may suggest lowering price a little to really compete with other brands. So What you think?

It is Priced for 6,990 Pesos. Infinix Hot S is exclusively sold with Lazada Philippines.

Infinix Zero 4 Plus

Infinix Zero 4

--------------------------------------------

Look what we have here...Infinix Zero 4 and Zero 4 Plus!

Not yet out in the market but we get first dibs to try out the Infinix Zero 4 and Zero 4 Plus.

Infinix Zero 4 is more of handy smartphone while the Zero 4 Plus is a entertainment Phablet. Both come in solid metal-clad construction accented with antenna lines as well as exudes thin bezels. However they differ in specifications and material used. Both runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow XOS.

Lets start off with Zero 4 which sports a 5.5 inch 1080p Full HD IPS Display with 2.5DD Curved Glass enhanced with Miravision Technology powered by Mediatek 6753 Processor with Mali-T720 GPU complimented with 3GB RAM and 32GB Internal Storage. Expandble via MicroSD up to 128GB. Usable storage is at 25GB. Has dedicated capacitive keys to navigate through the device.

Zero 4 will be equipped with 16MP Main Rear Camera assisted by Laser AF and said to have Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Imaging sensor is roduced by Sony - IMX 298 to be exact at aperture size of f/2.0. As for its front camera, 8MP snapper with Front-Facing Flash will handle your selfies. Oddly enough Zero 4 has RAW DNG support compared to Zero 4 Plus.

Has Fingerprint Sensor as well as regular sensor from proximity, light, orientaton and GYRO! Yeah it will support augmented reality and VR. This is a Dual Sim Handset and supports 4G LTE on both sim.

Carries a 3200mAh battery that supports Fast Charging. It should be similar to that of Note 3 Pro 100% in 2 and half hours. Yeah it supports USB-OTG.

Moving to Zero 4 Plus, It is a monstrous Phablet with its 5.98 inch 1080p Full HD IPS Display that is protected by 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It has Miravision Technology also but Clear Motion Video Enhancement is present. Internally it has more to offer with Meiatek Helio X20 MT6797M Deca-Core Processor plus Mali-T880 GPU and abundant 4GB RAM and 32GB Internal Storage. It should be able to handle your apps and games even in high visual settings. Oh no capative keys for Zero 4 Plus as Navigation keys are onscreen.

Best thing Zero 4 Plus has to offer is its High Resolution cameras. Rear Camera packs a 20.7MP with Sony IMX230 Sensor assisted with Laser Focus, OIS and Dual Led Flash. Front is at 13MP that comes with Soft Selfie Flash packing an S5K3L8 Samsung ISOCell Sensor with 1.12um pixel size.

Same connectivity features than that of Zero 4 with regular WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS as well as USB-OTG and Dual Sim Dual LTE. Bummer though that Zero 4 Plus has hybrid slot so if you need more storage then you need to sacrifice the dual sim feature. Also has same set of sensors and fingerprint sensor too.

Zero 4 Plus has 4000mAh battery and also supports Fast Charging more or less same charging time at 2.5 hours full.

Infinix Note 3 Pro Full Review Philippines Specs Price

Update! Infinix Note 3 Pro gets Price Cut Now only 6,990 Pesos! Starting later 12MN 12/07/2016!

We finally get to review the latest Phablet from Infinix - Note 3 Pro.

We are welcomed with a rather long simple box with the Note 3 Pro's specs enumerated at the back. Opening the box, we are greeted with the unit, envelop containing manual, warranty card and pin, charger, data cable and in-ear headset. See our quick unboxing...

Infinix Note 3 Pro upfront reminds us of the old Note 2 with its large display and size. Built quality is superb with combination of metal for the body and top and bottom polycarbonate plastic guess for signal purposes. Top part lies only the headphone jack while bottom part is home to mic, microUSB port, and speaker grill. The Right side houses dedicated microSD slot together with the power/lock button and volume rocker. Dual Micro Sim slot is located on the left side of the device. At the back is the camera with dual led flash and the fingerprint sensor.

Infinix Note 3 Pro houses a 6 inch 1080p FHD IPS Display with 480 dpi. Icons are large enough and display is bright but need to turn on high settings in very sunlit environment. With its screen size, the smartphone is best for watching movies, videos and playing games as you have more usable screen. Miravision Technology is present to enhance picture quality. Navigation is through screen keys for home, back and apps.

Looking inside, Infinix Note 3 Pro is powered by Mediatek 6753 Octa-Core Processor with Mali-T720 GPU coupled with 3GB of RAM and 16GB Internal storage. Initial boot up, you get 10GB usable storage and 2GB free ram. Has dedicated microSD slot for storage expansion. Note 3 Pro scored nearing 40k levels in Antutu as for games we had no problems playing Asphalt Xtreme while for NBA 2K16 you need to adjust some settings to medium or low to get decent game play.


We go to software, Note 3 Pro runs the latest XOS Chameleon v2.0.0. Navigation is a breeze and such an optimize system. Provides system management controls from permission, memory, storage and battery. Gesture controls is available such as tap to wake, flip mute as well as one-hand operations. Other nifty features includes Screen Record and Screen Casting to wireless display.
Fingerprint sensor is available for more personalize security. Has quick registry but you should setup it up properly with at least 360 degrees fingerprint setup. It has gyroscope sensor which should be able to support augmented reality and the use of VR. As for Audio, its speakers is load which should compliment the Note 3 PRO entertainment qualities.

Moving on to camera, we are impressed with its outputs of its 13MP Rear camera even at f/2.2 aperture. Produced quality photos with great focus and dynamic range even in low light or night but it needs a tad bit of saturation for color. Auto mode is reliable while if you need more creative control Manual Mode is available ISO up to 1600 Shutter Speed up to 10 sec for Long Exposure. Other Photography Modes is available like Night, Panorama and PIP. Supports 1080p Video Recording and can take photos while recording. EIS is present to keep things smooth and steady. Outputs from 5MP front camera is also better and with Selfie flash, taking photos against the light is posible. My only comment is that they should properly label manual camera settings. We won't are shooting at 2 secs shutter as there is no label.

Daylight Shots... Focusing Variations on the Clouds, Highlights and Shadows.

Set of Things and Food Photography to show Color. Not Spot on as it needs a tad bit of saturation.

Low Light and Night Shots.

Selfie in Daylight, Low Light and Against the Light.

Long Exposure Shot. Sooc. Low ISO Level with Slow Shutter. (Manual Mode)

Offers near complete connectivity from WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. This is a Dual Sim Handset with both sim slots supporting 4G LTE but you can only choose one to use as your default internet connection. USB-OTG is supported but XOS builtin file manager will not allow you to write on it. Installing ES Filemanager will of course solve this problem.

Last but not the least, Infinix Note 3 Pro is a heavy duty smartphone with its massive capacity 4500mAh battery. Full charge took about 2 and half hours but will last you a day or two of heavy to moderate usage of photography, games, data and social media.

We at Geekschicksten highly recommends Infinix Note 3 Pro for its entertainment qualities, balanced performance, photography capabilities and endurance. For 8,390 Pesos, it is one of the best we reviewed so far for its price range and can compete with even high priced smartphones with similar specifications. No wonder it was sold out during its first days of sale. So will you be getting this for Christmas? Look here:
