My short review (less than 24hrs with it)
* Picture quality (both front & back camera) is quite good
* good HD display (300-320dpi)
* OTG Support
* Gesture Support
* OTG Update
* True Octacore - quick response but do get slow a bit after prolonged use with multiple apps opened (average of 15 in my case)
* Best of all is the battery. It's a true 4000mAh. Been using this phone none stop for straight 9hrs+ with Wi-Fi on, streaming MTNmusic with Bluetooth on and I still have about 45% and 8hrs estimated battery life left.
* it doesn't gets hot like other Octacore I've used.
* I got a GPS fix in about 10sec w/o internet
* internet both on 3g and Wi-Fi is fast
* some cool functions like auto start management, shortcut for torch, Cal, cam, recorder & stopwatch, using Gesture to dial some contacts though I've not been able to make it work

WHAT I DON'T LIKE
* fast charging was just an advert gimmicky. It took 2hrs to get a full charge from 12%.
* camera sound is reminiscence of the old technology audio... Too loud
* audio quality (both call & music) is average but still better than innovative one

Camera shots (Front 2mp)

8mp back camera:
*Night shot with flash
*Day shot w/of flash
*continuous shot in a moving vehicle

More continuous shots

Some still wont believe you,everything you said are all more than true,but hotness? a bit hot ,but not as serious

I meant OTG Support i.e. OTG does works on it and OTA Update i.e. The device can receive over the air update maybe Lollypop or other enhancement through OTA update in the future.
Btw I attached some screenshots earlier showing OTG works on it.

Ige101 and Cafedeluv can you please help me confirm if both sims are mini sim, micro sim and nano sim.Nano Sim is the smallest size a sim can ever be.This info should help me finally decide today on getting this phone or not.

Both are micron and not nano

Nice review! Personally I think infinix have tried with this for just 23k

Real nice gadget.... Please between the gold and the copper, which looks more tech and tight.
Also between the infinix hot note and innjoo one, which is the smartest choice. Am kinda in a fix on which to get

ige101:

Thanks Ige101.One more thing.I was told its only Gold colour available.Is there any way I can get my favourite colour which is grey or black.

adebayooye:
chill guyz....the phone is too good to have time for review.... battery lasts very well but 3x charging not really true...the charging is ok and fast....the camera is underated...the 2mp front can takes very clear and colorful sharp pics....so does the back camera....browse pretty fast and HD games runs smoothly on it with no issues.... just ask questions....you would get reply

Did you use the charger that came with the phone? The fast charge is in the charger not in the phone oooo.

It is even only gold that is avilable now,except you wait till wen other is in stock,

Find that difficult to believe

ige101:

ok. just try using the charger that came with the phone next time your battery is drained not any other chargr, then you will definitely experience the fast charge. The difference is truly very obvious.

I think this thread should be renamed, this is the real discussion thread, not the other one! Abi nw?


@ige101 personally i think the gold is even the best colour, and very matured. The silver is cool too

but there is no black colour o, @ iwillsucceed. Take note

@ige101, pls kindly upload more pics of the phone itself, both front and back. Thanks

My infinixHotNote is hotter. Na so.. Great device & lovely ba3 life.
