What we think you need to know

It goes without saying that the Infinix hot 2 is the first mobile phone in Africa fixed with Google’s new android one Operating system framework which enables it to upgrade to the latest android OS Version as soon as it becomes available.

Design and Display

Quite notable, the back, home, and menu buttons which were previously on the panel surrounding the screen have now been moved to the screen.It’s a dual sim phone and has a slot for memory card but does not come with one.

It has the same 5-inch display screen as its predecessor the Infinix Hot, However it’s much thinner with a width of 7.8mm. With 720 x 1280 pixel display it gives you a sharper and more colorful display –You can be able to see this the moment your phone comes on.This phone comes in 5 different colors; Blue, Gold, Red, Black and white which give you a good number of choices to fit your lifestyle.

The regular high quality headphones are included in the package.

Camera

Hot 2 comes with an Upgraded 8-mega pixel back camera that ensures your photos comes out better than before. Its’ 2-megapixel front camera won’t exactly give you the best selfies, but it does the job.

Battery

Hot 2 has a not so strong battery 2200mAh Li-ion battery. No worries though the Android battery saver feature should be enough to keep you on whenever you need it.

You can’t ask anything more than a phone that can tell you how much more charging time before your battery is full.

Makes us sad

• Battery not so strong.
• Selfies –front camera is too small for the job.

Makes us happy

• Fitted with Googles android one OS that enables it to upgrade to the latest version as soon as its available
• Display is super cool
• Runs on android lollipop
• Not a fan of dual-sim but it’s a win here
• Color variety- Comes in 5 different colors
