You have already listed out the major differences between the two phones. But in my humble opinion, I'll recommend the K7. Remember, except you are buying the infinix hot 5 lite, but if you are buying the infinix hot 5 main, then you'll be budgeting closer to 40k. At that budget, you can either go for the 2GB RAM version of K7 or even add little to it and get yourself the Spark Plus K9. Beleive me, I'm not doing a guessing work here because I reviewed the two phones.

The only factor standing on your way should be the dual front-facing speakers on the Hot 5, and you have to try and decide that for yourself. But if you go through my audio review of the two phones, you'll find out that all the audio claims of infinix ends just with the loud speakers. Plugin a pair of earpiece, and you'll see how cheap the phone really is. My Xiaomi Pro HD (Piston v4) couldn't even add much quality to the sound output.

Alright. Thanks man.

What about their battery endurance? Although on paper, hot 5 is higher

I eventually bought the k7 and so far, I'm not impressed.

the sound quality is poor, both on ear phones (no matter the quality of ear phone) and loudspeakers.

also interms of display, the color saturation and separation is poor. the camera is also not worth the much noise people are making about it.

battery is also not good, got drained from 100 to 30% within 4hrs

I regret not going for hot 5 and I had more than enough cash on me to buy it on the day I went for spark k7

Really...? Thats Strange. Two things may be involved:
1. You were expecting too much from a mid-range smartphone or
2. You bought fake K7.

Can you download and run Antutu Benchmark v6.2? Run the test and let me see the result.

I don't have enough data now, the app is requesting that I download 3D benchmark Of About 100mb before I can run the test .

Below are the basic informations got.
I don't want to believe it's fake because I bought it @3C Hub. and it was perfectly sealed.

This is same with the unit I reviewed. Are you sure you are not just expecting too much?

Maybe.......

My younger brother uses HTC ONE, the camera is incredible! It's like owning a professional digital camera. This Tecno can not stand near it..

and also the HTC has dual front facing stereo speakers that produces excellent bass and surround sound with beat by Dre audio software incorporated.
In short you don't need ear phones.

IT has an HD display with excellent colour reproduction That is more saturated than this spark K7.

Well, the HTC One M7 is what you are referring to. That phone is entirely on a different league with the K7. I used the phone about 3 years ago, and for comparison sake, it run on Qualcomm SD 600, and it is HTC's flagship phone. So you'd expect highest effort from HTC to make the device stand up to competitors offering. On the contrary, the SK7 only has MTK6580, and it not a flagship device, so there's no way you'll expect same performance with the HTC M7.

As for the Audio prowess, well, you can't still compare a single rear facing speaker with a dual front facing speakers, not to even mention the presence of Beat Audio. I tell you even the HOT 5 can not march the Performance of the M7. Just as I stated in the review, don't expect too much, and you and the K7 will get along just fine.

who is also experiencing this software error...........go to settings and under micro intelligence, switch ON "double tap to wake" .
I have noticed that the inadvertently red light comes ON after Double tapping to unlock and does not go OFF again, until I delibrately initiate a call and hang up.
I noticed it this evening after making a call. make sure you are in a dark room, in order to see the red light.

I just tried it, but it not happening in my case. But with the fingerprint, what will you be needing double tapping to wake for? Any little touch on the rear finger print scanner wakes up the device already.

I'm concerned about battery life. Considering the fact that it use to vibrate each time you touch it to wake up.

I find the double tap more easy and convenient to use, as I don't have to fumble for the finger print scanner location

How do you manage to make the battery last that long? Mine can hardly go a full day (24hrs). I have enabled all power saving options yet no improvement.

Eventually ditched my spark K7 to get Hot 5 (2gb ram) the phone is superb! Tecno spark doesn't come close to this one except in the aspect of camera. Although I'm not a camera freak. I hardly take pictures.

Even spark k9 will not be able to measure up to this hot 5.

Sound quality is very good both on earphones and loudspeakers just the way I like it with decent bass. Unlike the hissing/cluttering sounds you get on the spark.

Display is also great, with good color saturation. Although the build quality in terms of the 3.5mm jack input and the back cover is very poor. Those are the two things I currently dislike with the device.
