Mediatek 5g dimensity chips are very good. It's unfortunate phones with dimensity chips are very hard to find in Africa.

Any reason as to why i haven't gotten mine?
Thanks

There are fake Infinix phones in the market. Go to carlcare to confirm if your phone is fake or original.

Testing

Several phones in that list have not yet received Android 10. Therefore saying they will get Android 11 is a stretch.

Snapdragon versions of galaxy phones are quality. Unfortunately, Samsung only sells Snapdragon phones in the US and South Korea. The rest of the world get exynos versions of galaxy phones.

Seen a lot of complaints about the Note 5's battery. Mine lasts a full day while using 4g network.

I successfully rooted my Infinix note 5 by using Magisk manager app to patch the phone's boot image. The "patched_boot.img" should be flashed through adb fastboot. The correct fastboot flash code is:
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img

I also have a corrupt scatter file for Infinix Note 5. How did you manage to solve the issue?

There's so much misinformation in this thread. The Infinix Zero 6 has a snapdragon 660 chip.

I haven't gotten Android p update. Please can anyone give me a reason why?

If Over-the-air update delays too much, you can take it to any Carlcare shop for a manual update.

Watched a youtube reviewer claiming the Infinix Note 5 has weak wifi connection problem. Is it really true?

The official android 9 update for Infinix Note 5 is not yet available. It will be available in January 2019. Check link below:

For more than 35 days I have been using Airtel data package on my PC with my phone’s Tethering & Portable Hotspot.

It has been working well and I heave a sigh of relief that after the past months of GLO & 9Mobile persistent scamming, I can now relax and enjoy my money at last but the event of yesterday and today has almost dash my hope.

My Airtel data was due to expire today, but I recharge yesterday when I saw that it was not working and after recharging, the situation remained the same.

Whenever I connect my PC to the Wifi of my phone, I will see connected, the wireless bar also confirms network access whenever I place my cursor on it, but all attempts to open webpages ever since failed.

What should I do.
I need help fast

If you can browse on your phone but can't browse on the PC, go to the PC settings, reset network settings and restart the PC. Then try connecting the hotspot again.

GraGra247:
Very funny answer. Have used many 4G Android phones that have the option of selecting 4G only. You get 4G only and it blazes damn fast.

You can open phone settings, mobile networks, Access Point Names, change bearer to LTE, then press the 3 dots at the top of the screen and save the new setting.

tbadejo25:
You honestly think Infinix would include "FaceID" on a phone and not advertise it on the carton, social media and website?

Yes. Check link below

tbadejo25:
I think Infinix should add FaceId to their Android One package for the complete experience.

'Face Unlock' is already available in phone security settings under the Smartlock section.

michtob:
Can you recommend FM radio that requires no data for the infinix note 5?

Infinix note 5 is an androidone phone, same as Xiaomi mi A1 phone. Guys succeeded to enable offline fm radio on the Xiaomi mi A1 phone using three methods, the same methods may work on the Infinix note 5. Find link below

samodan:
I'm not talking about bug fixes and security patches, I'm talking of major software updates from one version of Android to another.

And why are you not saying anything about the Hot 2 I brought up? Too much truth in it?

Make no mistake, am no infinix marketer. But a quick google search shows the Hot 2 received one major software upgrade. The other difference between the two: Hot 2 was a lower-level(cheap) phone and note 5 is a mid-level(more expensive) phone, support for the two can therefore not be the same.

samodan:
Remember that the Infinix HOT 2 is an android one phone.

How many updates did it get

Mowee hear word abeg.
Nonsense brand.

Infinix have already committed to provide 2 years software and security updates for the Note 5. As a matter of fact the Note 5 has already started receiving updates, link below.

The Infinix Note 5 Pro is so much better than Camon X Pro in terms of battery capacity, user interface (android one), software updates directly from Google. The Note 5 Pro also has a beautiful infinity display and comes with a stylus pen. The cool infinix phone is coming to the market soon.

hausadreturn:
They didn't say camon x but x pro

The Tecno Camon X Pro also lacks the same things, it is not stock android, it has a smaller battery and lacks fast charging capability.

Infinix note 5 is hands down better than the Tecno camon X. The note 5 is an official androidone phone with no bloatware and will get android P upgrade, it has a bigger battery that can last 3 days, it supports quick charging as it comes with a quick charger etc

Am really impressed with the Infinix Note 5 specs and Android One OS. Now looking forward to unboxing and full phone reviews before making a decision.

Colb461:
d front camera is nw clear

What did you do to solve the Camon X front camera issue?

newjosboy:
It is already HD+, I don't understand what you mean by "they reduced the resolution".

HD+ resolution is lower than FHD. FHD is best on big screen devices.

The first half was scary for the Warriors, the Rockets lead kept getting bigger n bigger. Thank God for the 3rd quarter magic. Haters should stop complaining about referees. Rockets have gotten the lions share of free throws in almost every game against the Warriors, in fact Rockets got 8 more free throws than the Warriors in game 7.

Am eating the humble pie. I sadly overrated the Warriors. Klay Thompson has been poor since game 2 and not playing like an all-star, Durant is playing too much iso ball, Steph is hit and miss and the bench is very poor offensively. The Rockets are looking like the real deal, they also now have homecourt advantage. This series is not looking good at all.

samsam2019:
I won't even buy it if given for free. Why copy the iphone x notch when it's even ugly as hell




Nonsense

Some of these companies copying crap ideas from Apple are suffering from inferiority complex. At least Samsung have confidence in their own designs.

The Celtics are horrible away from home. The Cavs will definitely win game 4. Game 5 will now be the decider, if Celtics win game 5 they will win the series in 7, if the Cavs win game 5 then they'll win the series in game 6.

The Rockets are setup to stop Curry from making threes, therefore Curry struggling isn't disastrous. It was more damaging that Klay Thompson got so cold. KD is guaranteed to get 20+ points per game. However the warriors need a good game from one of Steph/Klay to win.
