Infinix Mobility recently announced its most recent Hot series smartphones yet – the Hot 5 and Hot 5 Lite to take over the Hot 4 series (Hot 4, Hot 4 Lite and Hot 4 Pro). The new entrants retain the series’ 5.5-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) HD display, 5MP front camera, 8MP rear AF camera with LED flash and 4,000mAh battery from its predecessor.
Promoted as a ‘Mobile Cinema Smartphone’, the Hot 5 (and Hot 5 Lite) utilises its large display, 3D Dirac stereo surrounding sound and dual front speakers to produce stereo-level sound not expected from a mobile device and ensure real time mobile viewing. See the rest of the specs and pricing below.
