Well, haven used the Infinix zero, hot, hot note and hot 4, I have come to the conclusion that Infinix are learners when it comes to smooth running of apps. I've used all the phones listed above and they have one thing in common - LAGGING. All my Infinix phones have been 2g ram but even with huge free memory, my apps hardly ever ran smoothly.

Worst is if I open many apps, the phone hangs and could even restart. I had to sell my hot note cos of this. I bought the hot 4 hoping it's gonna be better but I think even My previous Innjoo One and fire beats it in terms of smooth runs. I no even mention tecno. Sometimes, even ordinary SMS and phone dialer will lag. They really need to get their acts right.

You are correct about the poor software thing, but its not just the software that affects the smooth running of your phone. The processor used is of utmost importance, forget about the size of ram. If you have a very good processor then 2gig ram is just enough for you coupled of course with good software optimization. Next time before you settle for a device, put these into consideration, but before you point fingers totally on Infinix for bad software, have you handled to zero 4? If the experience is similar then I can agree 100% with you, because it uses a good processor (Mediatek Helio x20).

It seems you have good experience with Infinix phones. I have little challenge that am trying to resolve.

My phone internal memory is 12GB with 1gb ram. Now memory is full hence slowing the device. I decide to get Memory card to store all my videos there but unfortunately after moving all videos to memory card. About 90% of the files are not playing but they are visible.

When I move some back to phone memory, some played while some did not. Displaying error message: file format not supported.

Can you assist with any idea on how to rectify? it's Infinix hot

The memory card is bad, maybe its fake.

As stated your memory card is fake, get a genuine memory card and have rest of mind. We have sellers like Initialize who can help you with original memory cards, they don't come cheap though.

I've been using infinix hot 4 for about 6 months now I can tell you, mine doesn't lag.

Not one bit.

You are correct about the poor software thing, but its not just the software that affects the smooth running of your phone. The processor used is of utmost importance,

True that but have you wondered why a dual core Apple phone is doing better in performance than a quad core Android phone?

Simple. The Os is optimized to run well on the processor so software optimization is very important.

Apps crash because
1. There's little memory.

2. The OS and processor doesn't agree so the system terminates the process because it takes longer time to load.

3. Ineffective client optimization, there are established techniques in minimizing how an app manages resources but if a developer cuts corners or fails to implement them, that doesn’t always go unnoticed.

4. Incompatibility issues. I will break this into two parts.

4i. Running New app on old OS version. Example, running app that's targeted for lollipop on kitkat.

4ii. Incompatible issues due to OS alterations by phone manufacterers. You know that some phone manufacterers don't ship their phones with stock Android OS. They customize it and it may end up not being nicely optimized for the device and may have it slowed down

He should not forget ram size please because the last time I checked, Android apps use Java, and need all the extra RAM to do something called garbage collection. I can't explain this here but Android phone need as many rams as possible because things are changing and apps are being programmed to require much ram.
Take for instance, pictures that used to be in kilobytes now take as much as 5megabytes.

Things are changing.

I have not used Note 4 because I have quit using infinix so I won't say what I don't know.

It is also important to find out the class of memory card your phone supports before buying else the story may come out the same

Tho av never Been opportune to use hot series or note series. But av used zero 3 and zero 1 and m still surprised at what op us complaining of.

There are many adulterated or substandard infinix product. Just yesterday I did some check up on zero 3 pro internal storage using a software I realise one was 2.88 while the other one was 2.99.
Truth is infinix may be a bad seller, most of their phone ought to be recall cuz some of them had some serious error. What do I know, may be av always been fortunate in choosing the right spec for me

Thank you.... But I am still rocking my hot 4...

Your points are valid but research again and look at real life experience. Ram is needed but not more important than the quality of the processor. A 3 gig ram Snapdragon 821 is far better than a 6gig ram Helio p10 processor both in speed and multi-tasking. Emphasising ram before processor is like putting the cart before the horse.

My hot note is almost 2years now, no problem at al

I sha hate infinix

Voting Efe and win brand new infinix

no wonder,some peep are putting up their infinix phone for sale..Abeg,my daughter bb bold5 keep showing enable cookies/browsing over the cellular network is not included as part of your current service plan.To browse the Web, u must use WiFi or contact your service provider to change ur service plan. Any solution pls

Class?
kindly give some tip about that because I have no idea about the class. it's Infinix hot 2

How about you consider the following first.
1. when you got the brand new phone, your 1st time use, was it lagging?
2. did you root the phone? If yes, you might have caused the issue
3. you might have downloaded a lot of applications that uses a good amount of your memory in the background.
Because if you maintain good memory space, It would hardly lag. Another culprit is your CACHE.

I concur

Tenkobos:
Haba. You were right about the processor so I don't have to repeat.

Was only referring to the ram part, no problem bro .

If your CPU and RAM are not large enough you'd get these issues.
Modern Apps use up more memory to perform better, you should get a phone with a 2GB RAM as a minimum and 2GHz cpu speed.

Anything less that a 32GB internal ROM is bound to give you issues as well.

u have used all infinix phones listed above ,yet u said all the phones u have used till date are all 2GB RAM ,please was there a 2GB RAM version of Infinix Hot?

Class 10 and above is what you need, it is a measure of how fast the memory can read data, including stored and transferred. They higher the class, the faster and the more expensive the memory card. Again don't be deceived by just higher prices, because they don't guarantee originality. Even many sellers can't differentiate fake from original.

Probably you bought a chinese infinix phone

Infinix hot 4 has software lag? i disagree with you, I tried to do funds transfer in access bank , the atm wasnt working and my phone didnt have the facilities.

One kind chic at the bank agreed to use her phone which was an infinix hot 3 to do transfer using the mobile platform, it was fast , just like using the computer.

You phone has a bug problem, you should check it before coming to such erroneous conclusion.

infinix and Tecno are the same , if tecno is fast I dont see why infinix should be slow.

By and by they re chinko products you should expect much from them , despite the high prices they command now (over N40k) they re still crap but not slow as you said.

I don't think I agree with this, I use an infinix zero 2. I don't think it lags or nothing. and boy I got at least 10 apps open now. I really don't know why yours does such

I check the memory card pack but nothing like class is written on it. Where or how can I know?
Where will it be written or I just ask the seller about the class?

Am still enjoying my jiayu bought over 2 years ago... The phone is elegant solid rudget and beautiful. I have bricked it times without number but the maintaince is very easy.. The phone is easyly twicked and accessed currently am on ANDROID N... how many phone have moved to this latest OS...
