Infinix Hot 4 So Cheap! But Are There Strings Attached To Its Affordable Price? by Sphilip1(m): 11:57am On Aug 20, 2016
Out of now where, it came as a surprise to the world since the Infinix Hot 3 was recently released earlier this year, no one was expecting the release of the Hot 4 till next year. Nevertheless, the move by the company is aimed towards flooding the Nigerian market with numerous Infinix phones as possible. The Infinix Hot 4 was released at a relatively cheaper price.

Specifications for the Infinix Hot 4 are just like the usual specifications. But in terms of battery capacity and screen size, it's better off than the Hot S. For the build quality and performance, it’s just a different story. Check out a summary of the Hot 4 specifications


Price on Jumia: ₦ 36,900

Screen: 5.5" HD Display

Model: Infinix X557

External Memory: 32GB micro SD

RAM: 2GB

Internal Memory: 16GB

SIM: Dual micro

CPU: MT6580 Quad Core Cortex; 1.3GHz

Operating System: XOS (Based on Android Marshmallow)

Camera: 8MP Back, 5MP Front

Battery: 4,000mAh

Finger print sensor: Yes


Here are the specifications of the Hot S

Price on Jumia: ₦ 46,500

Screen: 5.2" HD

Model: Infinix X521

RAM: 2GB

Internal Memory: 16GB

SIM: Dual micro

Processor: MediaTek MTK6753 Octa-Core

Operating System: Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Camera: 13MP (Back), 8MP (Front)

Finger print sensor: Yes

Battery: 3000mAh

For those who are in search of a new phone and believe in battery strength rather than technical features, the Hot 4 should end your search. But for the phone freaks, the Hot S which has a good set of camera is the best choice although it is more expensive than the Infinix Hot 4.

When those fones were released the Naira to dollar rate was considerably lower than obtainable now.

Now don't get me wrong am not disputing that fact, but like u implied its a harsh economy not just for the marketers but also the consumers, so in Nigeria 2016 37' doesn't deserve to be called cheap, especially a rebranded shit like this phone #myopinontho

That I ain't disputing brother but in 2016 a phone with such crappy specs being sold at 37k, doesn't deserve to be tagged "cheap" the economy is harsher on the buyer than the seller cause as they sell as they buy, but the consumer (salary earner) buys as he recieves. Without an increase. If you had read my post well and understood instead of replying with such rush, my point was the phone doesn't deserve the term "cheap"

@37k I don't see how this phone is cheap, how many Nigerians can cough out 37k in this hard times? Please OP should visit aliexpress and see the true definition of cheap phones. With just $60(about 24k) you can get a similar or even better phone.

Yes dollar was around N200 at that time but Nigerians are still on a minimum wage of 18k, salary hasn't increased so the guy was right the phone is not in any way cheap as far as average Nigerian is concerned.

What do I have to read in your post that you were just talking without considering the increase in dollar?

Normally, if this was before, when the naira hasn't lost its value in the market, this phone can be sold at 20k+. Now you talking about your infinix hot note pro buying it 28k. Let me ask these simple questions: Can you still get the new one of your hot note pro at that same cheap price now? No. Does it have 4g? (If that should be the priority for it being sold at high price now). No. Does it have finger print scanner? No. Does it have front flash camera? No. So many things it lacks and it's now sold for about 40k, that's if you can still get it in the one market.

What edge does it gat over this that makes it more expensive? Not only phones alone. Other things are now at high price because of this harsh economy. Just go confirm how much is dollar now when converted to naira, maybe after then, you will stop a none discussing argument that doesn't worth it.
