Factor in camera, battery life, screen inches and good customer service

Is customer service free? I bought my redmi 6 two years ago and the battery is still good.
The phone had fallen countless times and not even a crack.

I've used Tecno, Samsung, Nokia, HTC but talking about battery and screen durability - I'll give it to Xiaomi

Over the years Infinix has produced affordable quality phones. Now this begs the question is infinix not doing the greater good? Xiaomi phones have a lot of problems, no spare parts and are very expensive. But infinix phones are cheap , have no issues and the spare parts are everywhere. The discussion is open...
Them supposed beat you for this

I regretted ever buying a xiaomi phone, would have bought a low budget Samsung.
For no reason, the fingerprint stopped working, poor camera.

Because something is cheaper and parts readily available does not make it better, practical; yes, better; no!

A corolla is reasonably cheap, parts everywhere, very easy to fix and with good maintenance can last you a life time but its still not a better car to the cheapest Mercedes Benz!

Their selfies are so soft because the screen light is not really good.

What of night video calls??

I review phones
I am a Sammy user
But that guy made valid points.
And I read a lot of phone reviews..

A whole lot..

Like I said..

It's a wack phone that needs a front flash to snap in a dim environment..

You do know that a flash will automatically render the selfie below par?

The Mi brand of phones are better than any infinix phone shikena.

Well most Nigerians buy phones based on affordability but I buy mine based on functionality.

I was hoping to get a phone with NFC, Smart Mirroring, V.R, smart gyroscope sensor, synaptic touch, day of light (For A.R real time measurement), a well calculated RAM/ROM size Etc on an infinix phone, well so far I've not seen.

It's either you get an infinix phone with 48MP rear with gyro at an incredible and outrageous amount.

The gaming experience on an Infinix phone is just below average for me but above average on a MI branded phone.

I enjoy playing PUBG on a RedMI than on an infinix phone for this reasons: communication latency is way behind.

Let me just stop here biko.

You will never see Righteousness2 having discussions on intellectual threads like this. The guy can't contribute to things he knows nothing about. If the manufacturers of that phone he's using to type conspiracy theories up and down were as dumb as him, I wonder how he would have come up with those lies he's spreading. You abhor science and technology but you're deeply immersed in it's products, what's the difference between you and Boko Haram??

The first Samsung I bought..

The camera and video were automatically shutting off after launch..

Four months later I had to sell it off with a #45K loss..

According to your logic..

Samsung is WACK!!

Well, I use Infinix Hot 8. Bought it March 2020. Double camera. I am a heavy user, like my screen is on for more than 13 hours daily. I charge it only in the night when sleeping. The phone is fast. Quite fast. You don't expect me to use a slow phone though. The camera is superb. Quite strong phone. I only charge my phone with the follow come charger and no other charger ever since I bought. I handle it with care though. It works really well. No issues. I will always recommend Infinix to anyone.

Except that Benz are better rides than a Corolla..

The fact that you don't have money to buy and maintain it no mean say them dey equal..

Even Infinix themselves knows their mates..

Does Xiaomi pays tax and other levies in Nigeria?
Lol..

Xiaomi phones are taxed or do you think they ship them in for free?

Xiaomi is legally in Nigeria and has a responsibility to pay taxes to its host community..

What certifies you as a heavy user? You think your phone screen being on for 24 hours means you're a heavy user?

I have owned 3 Corolla generations, (2005 matrix also called Corolla Matrix, 2012 Corolla & 2014 Corolla) I am a fan, i prefer it but i will never say it is better than a C Class, which is also a compact sedan like a Corolla.

Now back to phones, how will you compare Infinix to Xiaomi? Xiaomi brand is the worlds 3rd mobile phone manufacturer, an innovative company and a trend setter while Infinix is just cheap & affordable. You cant even compare Xiaomi's sub brands; PocoPhone & Redmi to Infinix.

Bros enjoy your Infinix, when you can afford something slightly more expensive buy one of Xiaomis plethora of affordable phones, you will curse the day you spent your hard earned money on infinix-whatever.

Still too early for a verdict.
Give it a few more months.
I know two people that got the Hot 9 almost at the same time; that was around October last year.
Currently these two phones are virtually unusable, like I don’t know how they manage.
The lagging is just unbelievable.
You click an app, it takes 10 seconds to load.
Task button takes even longer to respond.
Swiping through a list will make you wonder if your fingers are made of glass; minimal response.
Infinix used to be good but now they’ve just lost it. The hot 4 and hot 5 were both amazing phones; I think those were the last god hot phones they made. I think they maintained quality with the Notes though.
I know someone who still uses a Note 4 and the phone is fantastic, doesn’t lag a bit.
Anyone getting an infinix phone should at least go for a note.
This is the most honest post on NL in recent time.

That lagging and hanging is same here on my Tecno Pop. Worst, I followed Tecno on Twitter, posts some screenshots of the issue, and asked if there could be a way out, but till now, no response not even acknowledgement.

I discovered that Tecno and Infinix phones are products of the same company. I give up on both phones.

Infinix, tecno and itel.
Believe me most of their phones are designed to be used for a maximum of 6 months; the successor in that series should be out in that time, then sell and upgrade. Anything above 6 months you’re on your own.
I know a guy that uses a spark 3; same lagging issue.
Those phones are nothing but trash.
How does someone make a product completely devoid of quality.

Baba enjoy your Infinix, but don't go about spreading ruse. I never used an Infinix but I remember combing the internet for a replacement screen once for a friend, I found nothing but only cheap ones that never worked...plus a very daunting experience to change it, on the other hand, I changed my Xiaomi note 4x screen 3 times while I used it, by myself o, takes 15minutes, phone is so serviceable, you can readily buy all the parts. I hope the newer models are still made that way.

Don't even start about durability. The better chipset, etc. Overall Xiaomi provides a better experience in my opinion, and of course you have to pay a little more for that...that's why their products have gained acceptance in Europe and US, do they sell Infinix in these places?

Oh and my phone never heated up, lagged or hanged for 3 years, and I never repaired anything but the screen because once it falls and cracks, I change it.
