The Infinix S5’s predecessor – Infinix S4 – which was also released in 2019 was a rather astonishing device. Sporting the teardrop display and triple rear camera lens as the initial attention grabbers.
Other features include Android 9.0 (Pie) as the operating software, Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 as the SoC, Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 as the central processor and PowerVR GE8320 as the graphics processor. The 32MP selfie cam is so damn cool and the 4000mAh battery affords it an impressive battery life.
Also, it has a 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM variant and a 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM variant.
The features above are cool and since the Hot S5 is supposed to be an upgrade to the Hot S4, the features should be even more impressive

The changes in the Infinix Hot S5 are really impressive, with the size and design being spectacular and upgraded memory. But the battery capacity, SoC and CPU remain unchanged, which is kind of bad. That’s probably why the price isn’t inflated.
