Re: Infinix hot discussion and review thread! by Trippledots(m): 12:09pm On Dec 14, 2014
ok.... so i got mine yesterday. ordered it on d 11th got it on d 13th. fast!! i liked dat.

MY 'REVEEW' (lol)

i haven't done all those tweaking and blablabla, ill just post pix and give basic features and observations for those looking for a first-handers (is that word in d dict?) experience.

FEATURES
As said earlier in the device's specs...screen isn't HD! tho. and yes I've seen a HD screen of an innjoo i got for someone from jumia, i noticed a little diff between the two. the HD screen was better appealing.

PROS:
~light in d hand.
~screen has dis yellowish ting like a samsung s3 (abi s4 sef) screen i saw last year.I watched a trailer off youtube on d infinix hot and i liked it better than my n9 screen hue, except ofcourse d n9 has a BIGGAR screen wink
~dual sim
~sd card slot
~better viewing angles than my tecno n9 tab.

By the way it comes with earpiece and i listened to fm on it. nothing fantastic. it just gets the work done. basically.

Then charger, usb cable (with a fine unique flat design. i liked dat too), manuals as usual.


CONS:
-those guys weren't mincing words when they named it 'hot'. the device pretty gets warm on:
-streaming via WiFi for about 40mins or so.
-playing a subway-surf like game for less than 5mins.
-fiddling with the camera and video recording a 1min 15secs video with flash on.

other observations,:

JUICE
Battery stays pretty stable when device is idle, with no sim on and no WiFi. But on usage it seems to go down quite quickly. For example, when i just unboxed it, turned it on, scrolled the screen, flipped thru pre-installed apps and went through its settings and stuffs like dat, d battery dropped from %68 to around %65. For a new device, i expected something better, maybe not fantastic, but atleast enough to make me not get jittery about juice this early. ( android and battery ish sha, na wa)

OUTDOOR READABILITY
Outdoor readability is better than my n9 tab. esp with its auto brightness feature which cranks up ur screen brightness under bright ambient light and then goes down when under some shade. n9 tab doesn't have a working auto brightness feature.

errr, what else? ehen! its camera.

CAMERA
The cam isn't bad atall. details come out clear under bright light, has autofocus, and also takes decent night pictures with its flash. but don't expect the best colour reproduction when taking night pixs tho.
u can take a snapshot by sayîng 'cheese' or 'capture'......awesome feature..

RECEPTION
Network reception is just normal. A dead zone of my house while using my tab still had hiccups with finding network with this. WiFi connects well too i could still use my wifi over a distance of two standard rooms apart. I haven't used it to place or receive a call as at when writing thîs piece so i can't say anything about call clarity.


SUMMARY
its a good buy for its price range. i mean who gets a good phone at #12,900 plus free delîvery.


abeg, i don try..... cheesy any other questions mention me in ur question and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge and/or observation.



pixs coming up next.

Am not trying to say this out of sentiments but out of experience... For those of you contemplating on which fone to buy Between tecno h6/infinix xero /gionee m2... I just bought my tecno h6 on 7th nov nd used the fone fr like 3wks and sold it 3 days ago and bought my gionee m2 yesterday.... Tecno-h6 fault =no loud earphone problem after I changed anoda earphone... The battery is not even gud compared to my former tecno p5....it runs down very fast especially on browsing with it... But the fone is jus cool and sleek.... but in all I just discovered dat one of the things dat will give you the satisfaction you need in a fone is the battery life and dat is wat gionee m2 gives you...... This should be the best fone I will ever use... The battery is near perfect fr an android fone... Despite heavy usage it hardly drains... I'm still loving this fone.... It has everything i need in a fone... 8mp, 8gb Rom, quad core, 1gb ram... With dis ull enjoy ur fone... Forget abt the octa core n wat infinix xero boasts of... Without a good battery hw u go take enjoy the fone..... Nobody told me all this before I wasted my time and money to buy the tecno h6....GIONEE M2/M3 NA BABA... GOD BLESS GIONEE PPL
how much are they...the m2 n 3
