It is with great delight that i introduce the budget infinix hot 3 LTE smart phone. You can't blame me for i was just too curious coz i really wanted to see how well a snapdragon chip will work on an infinix device as this is the first time Infinix will be turning to SD.

There are two versions of the Infinix hot 3 in the market right now, the older version (x554) which features 1GB of ram coupled with an entery level processor MT6580 and the latest version (x553) which comes with 2GB ram and a mid range processor SD415. Of course the processor and Ram aren't the only differences.

The infinix x553 varaint also has a 13mp + 5mp camera setup as opposed to the 8mp +2mp camera setup in the older x554.

The device is a dual sim dual standby device with 16GB internal storage memory. The back cover of the device can be detached revealing the micro SD card slot and slots for two micro sims. The device ships with android lollipop out of the box.

It is worthy of note the new infinit hot 3 supports 4G/LTE.

I do not have the older version close but i must confess that this new device is smooth to operate, light-weight and with a HD screen (1280x720p) which is not battery hungry. The included battery is a 3000mah battery.

I ran antutu benchmark app on it and it did well for its price scoring around 32,000. I can't complain about this score but my LG G3 is not going on sale anytime soon.

The only grip i have with it so far is that DOUBLE-TAP to sleep is present while DOUBLE-TAP to wake isn't. Infinix can't be this cheap. I hope an update can fix this.

For those who may be wondering i got the device after parting ways with #42,000.
Comments and questions are welcome.

I do not know if thr fault was from me but aftervan OTA (update) i saw DOUBLE_TAP to wake option under on-screen gestures... It was really satisfying....

MKX mobile also works flawlessly here (for gaming enthusiasts).

This device is sure the best bang-for-the-buck for devices costing less than 50k in the Nigerian market right now IMHO.

Yea,enjoy

I got mine 38k on jumia black Friday dec 2016. At first it gets really hot after first use but stabilizes later on. The battery is really strong I must say, can serve me all through the day even on 3g. Multitasking is awesome, never experienced lags on it. I've been looking for threads related with this device with enough information though but not enough has been said. I think people who own the device should say more about.

Any personal experiences on this phone
