Infinix X522 S2 Pro/Infinix X521 Hot S Pro NVRAM File

Infinix Hot S is a premium looking smartphone from Infinix. It was the first smartphone from the company to feature a fingerprint sensor as well as Android 6.0. The Infinix Hot S seems like a reversal of the Infinix philosophy of ‘bigger is better’ as the phone with its 5.2-inch display is the most compact phone the company has built for a while.

Infinix Hot S Key Specs & Features

• 5.2-inch IPS Display, 1080 x 1920 pixels (423ppi)
• 1.5GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6753 CPU with 2GB/3GB RAM
• Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)
• 16GB Storage with support for memory card up to 128GB
• 13MP Rear Camera and 8MP Front Camera
• 4G LTE (up to 150Mbps download)
• Fingerprint Sensor (Rear)
• 3000 mAh Battery

The Design and Display

Infinix Hot S is the most compact phone from Infinix since the launch of the Hot 2 almost a year ago. Since then the company has launched the beastly 6-inch Infinix Note 2 and the equally massive Infinix Zero 3 and Infinix Hot 3 with 5.5-inch Displays.

So a move to 5.2-inch could be a change in direction. And personally, I think it is in the right direction.

Infinix Hot S looks premium with curves on the edges, metal frame, and is available in rose gold, gold, black, silver, and blue.

Infinix Hot S features a 5.2-inch IPS display with 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution. If raw specs is anything to go by, a full HD display will give the Hot S one of the best displays from Infinix for a while.

The Cameras

Like the Infinix Note 3, the Infinix Hot S has some potential in photography. On the back, you have a 13 megapixels camera with dual LED flash and on the front is an 8 megapixels wide-angle camera with a soft LED flash.

Hardware and Software

Infinix Hot S is powered by a 64-bit Kirin 650 SoC. The processor offers 8-cores and is expected to clock at up to 1.5GHz. Two versions of the Hot S X521 will be available; one offering 16GB storage and 2GB of RAM and the other with 32GB storage and 3GB of RAM.

Get Quick Loan

No matter the version you pick, you will be able to extend storage further by up to 128GB using a microSD card. Infinix Hot S runs on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).

Like the Infinix Hot 4, Note 3, and Infinix Hot 5 the smartphone sports a fingerprint sensor on the back. This enables you unlock your phone or setup actions. Infinix Hot S comes with a 3000 mAh battery and is expected to offer 4G LTE.
