talktalk4u: In spite of himself, live has been in the news in recent days for a bad accident concerning thesmartphone explosion. Specifically, the crime happened inside one of the Hong Kong airports, where a pallet of live smartphones caught fire spontaneously and then expanded to others. According to the investigative results, the authorities have yet to give a firm answer on the reason for the fire. But the most likely (and plausible) theory is that one or more smartphones had an battery malfunction in the style of Samsung Galaxy Note 7. And from there then the fire spread to the whole batch of phones.
Live problems: a batch of Y20s caught fire at the airport The burning of live smartphones was immortalized by those present in a video from Hong Kong airport, around 5 am. In the clips we can see the fire already underway, fortunately occurred before their loading on board the plane. The situation would have proved much more problematic if the fire had started once in flight. Fortunately, there was no harm to people.

The extent of the damage has not yet been determined, but there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of vivo smartphones (all Y20s, apparently) destroyed. Not to mention that the fire-fighting operations may have damaged even those smartphones initially not subject to flames.
THIS IS WHAT THE PALLET WAS SUPPOSEDLY CARRYING, VIVO SMARTPHONES. MOST PROBABLY A LITHIUM BATTERY ISSUE SIMILAR TO THAT SAMSUNG NOTE PROBLEM FROM SOMETIME AGO. LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE A "DANGEROUS GOOD" CAPABLE OF IGNITING SPONTANEOUSLY UNDER HEAT OR PHYSICAL DAMAGE. PIC.TWITTER.COM/KTXTWJDE3W

In addition to the material damage, the live problems do not end there. Until the cause of the fire is safely certified, Hong Kong Air Cargo authorities they will prevent live export of any smartphone. This could slow down shipments to other parts of the world, although it is not known whether Italy will be affected.
The use of smartphones in the African continent is not as widespread as in other continents like Europe or Asia. This is partly because not many Africans have the money to spend on smartphones and other gadgets. Furthermore, many smartphone companies do not understand the African smartphone market. This is why Transsion Holdings has been the “King of Africa” for many years. Transsion Holdings owns Infinix, Tecno, and Itel brands. Smartphones from these brands are the most popular in many parts of Africa. There are reports that Transsion Holdings is developing a smartphone that supports 160W fast charging.
Since 2013, Infinix, a pure smartphone brand under Transsion Holdings, has been selling mobile phones in parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia. In the past few years, the company has also achieved increasing success in India. The company’s latest smartphone is the Infinix Note 10 Pro mobile phone. According to XDA reports, the company may be preparing a mobile phone that supports ultra-fast 160W fast charging.
The report also shows an image of a 160W “super flash charging” charger with the Infinix brand. This indicates that Infinix may be developing a mobile phone that supports charging speeds that are significantly faster than most other Android devices on the market. At present, the fastest mass-produced charging speed in the mobile phone industry is 120W. Black Shark 4 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10 Extreme Edition, Nubia Red Magic 6 Pro, iQOO 7, etc. all use ultra-fast charging solution. However, the fastest full charge (100%) time is 15 minutes. Of course, the full-charge time is a function of the battery capacity.
Unfortunately, there is no information on the new Infinix smartphone that will support the 160W fast charging. As for its latest Infinix Note 10 Pro, this device supports 33W fast charging. This is a far cry from the 160W charging solution.
talktalk4u: hmmmm...from 2019 till date any samsung less than 200k is designed for africa and same build quality with Transsion phones, Oppo, Xiaomi etc
Getting a mid-range device that would give you a great deal of satisfaction from usage sometimes come with a lot of stress to finding the right one in the market. Let's take a look at the Infinix Smart 5 and the Samsung Galaxy A02. They both come at a very fair prices and with a competitive features.
To help you decide which of these two devices best suit your needs, I will be talking about some of its very important features you need to consider.
1. The Display: The Infinix Smart 5 and The Samsung Galaxy A02 both come with a 6.5"inch display with 720x1600 pixel, which is fair for a their price range. But the Infinix Smart 5 is slightly placed over the Samsung Galaxy A02 with it's screen to body ratio of 83.2% to that of Samsung Galaxy A02 which is 81.9%.
2. The Processor: While the Samsung Galaxy A02 uses a MediaTek MT6739W (28nm) processor which was produced in 2017 that works at a clock rate of 1.5GHz, The Infinix Smart 5 uses a powerful 2020 model MediaTek MT6761D Helio A20 Processor that works at a clock rate of 1.8GHz.
3. The Rear Camera: Samsung Galaxy A02 has a better rear camera section with a 13M+2M dual camera compared to Infinix Smart 5 8M+QVGA camera for a day time photography. But for the night photography, the Infinix Smart 5 has three LED flash which gives it a better outcome to that of Samsung Galaxy A02 which uses just one LED flash. Selfie Camera: The Infinix Smart 5 uses an 8MP selfie camera, supported by a DUAL-LED flash for a better night pictures, while the Samsung Galaxy A02 comes with a 5MP with no support for front facing LED lights.
4. Security: Today, fingerprint sensors have become a must have on devices be it rear-mounted or side-mounted. The Infinix Smart 5 comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor while the Samsung Galaxy A02 has none of the modern unlock features and relies on password and pins alone making the Smart 5 a better choice.
5. Battery: Both the Infinix Smart 5 and Samsung Galaxy A02 offer a 5000mAh batteries.
You can make your choice of which of the phones that best suit your needs now that you know the strengths and limitations of both devices.
For me I think the Infinix Smart 5 has a better edge over the Samsung Galaxy A02 when it comes to a mid-range Smartphones.
