The Infinix Hot 3 was officially launched sometime last week and
after you and I snuck a peek into the box, we decided to differ the
review to this day to fully determine the strengths and weaknesses of
the Infinix Hot 3.
So here we are today, but in case you missed out on the official sneak peeking with us, check out the unboxing of the Infinix Hot 3 here for full specifications and other senrenre.
The Infinix Hot 3 is nothing like the fragile sensitive Infinix Hot 2;
it is covered with a smooth plastic case that is smooth to the touch.
When testing it at the launch, I had to double check to make sure the
battery was inside the phone.
It is not feather weight light per se, but the lithe design also
enhances an otherwise smooth grip. For a 5.5 inch device, it is a phone
you want to hold and
The 5.5 inch display of the Infinix Hot 3 boasts high precision
processing, glare prevention and minimizing distance between screen and
glass. I completely agree with all these and pronounce them true. There
is a vivid picture quality I have come to associate with Infinix
smartphones, colours just burst out in exceptional rays.
Sonic has never looked so good on a smartphone.
But the touchscreen is not as responsive as I expected and after a couple of unsuccessful tries, I can only hope as this is a test unit, others made for sale would be a lot better.
The Infinix Hot 3 is equipped with an 8MP back shooter and 2MP selfie camera with soft flash.
I had my reservations about the soft flash part as I have seen many
smartphones lay claim to “soft flash”, but the light from their screens
were usually stronger, the Infinix Hot 3 held its own alright.
There are many exciting features of the camera in the Infinix Hot 3 that distinguishes it as a camera device.
The voice capture lets you say “CHEESE” or “CAPTURE” to snap a picture in selfie or normal mode, but for some inexplicable reasons, “CAPTURE” did not work for me as a voice trigger, only “CHEESE”, I find that really cheesy.
Smile shot triggers with a smile and works alright. Gesture shot lets the camera automatically snap when two fingers are raised–this too didn’t work for me either.
The audio output of the Infinix Hot 3 is not ear-splittingly loud or
Beat by Dre solid, but what I would call normal. You cannot exactly do a
parlor party with music from the Infinix Hot 3 and it does not fit into
the category of these audio devices that experts warn might damage your
hearing. Unlike most people I like my music a little bit on the loud
side, so I don’t completely dig the sombre undertone of the Infinix Hot 3
speakers.
The power house of the Infinix Hot 3 is 3,000 mAh large. It went from zero to 100% in 5 hours and 20 mins. Then a full charge lasted me 8 hours 58 minutes with display brightness turned to the highest, music playing non-stop, occasional browsing and a Sonic Dash marathon, very impressive.
