The Infinix Hot 5 comes with a large 4000 mAh built in and non-removable battery, and in a nutshell, the battery in the Infinix Hot 5 is awesome! The unit I reviewed was 62% charged when it came. So I immediately pushed it to 100% and began observing immediately. Because of my curiosity to know how well the speakers performs, I loaded in a movie and began my journey. With three email account connected (serious email acocunts), brightness set to 100%, 70% volume, and 3G network on, from 100%, one HD movie of about 1 hour and 47 minutes brought the battery to 79%.
On my heavy usage test which comprise of continuous activities and screen on with brightness at 100%, I was about to crash down this device from 100% to 15% in 7 hours 43 minutes.
So if you are a light user with few calls and less outdoor activities, you should expect this phone to keep you going for two days. Thanks to the power efficient processor.
But if you are still able to exhaust the battery, you need not worry much about charging. The Infinix Hot 5 come with 2A wall charger, and in my test, while the phone was turned on, with dual SIM inserted and data network deactivate, I was able to charge the device full within 2 hours and 20 minutes from 12%. This is very fast, considering the presence of a large 4000 mAh battery.
