One of the major SP of the Infinix Hot 5 is it Multi-media prowess. Well, while the device did deliver what it promised, I still find it not meeting up in some areas. On the bright side, you’ll enjoy great audio output, either from a video or a music file, especially when played via the dual front-facing speakers. Most of the time, my room get too filled up with sound emanating from the speakers that I even have to reduce them. Sometimes I get scared up by the front speakers, especially when I’m using the phone quietly, and a call comes in all of a sudden.
Playing a music or video with the phone facing my ears in landscape mode gives these feelings of rich 3D surround sounds, but sadly that’s where the joy ends. Plug in the follow come earpiece, and you’ll notice all the 3D sounds have disappeared. After the disappointment from the follow come earpiece, I quickly reach out to my Xiaomi Mi Piston HD Pro (Piston v4), thinking that it was the weakness of the follow come earpiece, but no, nothing really get better.
In fact I found the audio output via wired headphones to be better on the Tecno Spark K7 without the Dirac output than it is on this device. Seriously guys, don’t think I’m being too critical, because this is why it called a review.
On the bright side, if you check the subtitle of this review. You’ll know that I already rated the speaker output of this device so very high and why? Because it really is a mini picnic companion you can trust. Sometimes I prefer listening to music and watching movies on this little guy than my Lenovo T440p. The output via the dual front-facing speakers is real rich. Bass are even very noticeable without leaving out Mid and Highs, which is a big thumbs up to Infinix. But a little more focus on the connected devices would have been better.
Infinix Hot 5 Camera Review
The rear camera on this device is an 8-megapixel unit assisted with dual-LED flash. Outdoor performance for this lense is no problem at all. During bright days, your pictures are real clean. During dark nights and indoor, the rear flash does it job pretty well too. I also discovered that aside the rear flash, the camera naturally take in more light, and try to produce acceptable pictures with the available light. Although the show will get fuzzy when you try using the rear camera out door at night.
I also discovered that the rear camera knows how to handle it duties far better than the front. As most pictures I tried taking using the front camera turned disappointing. Indoor at night, and you’ll appreciate the front-facing flash.
In all the cameras on the Infinix Hot 5 are very satisfactory to me, especially the rear 8-megapixel, thanks to the dual-LED flash, and if you think otherwise, then don’t it retails around $90.
