Review of the New INFINIX HOT NOTE

Leave a Comment
The Infinix Hot Note has created quite a buzz amongst the people looking for a low budget smartphone. The phone is currently available with Daraz.pk exclusively at a price of 13,000 rupees. On paper, the specs look outstanding for the price. You get 16GB internal storage, a 5.5” IPS display, a 4000 mAh battery with rapid charging and an octa-core processor rolled up into a single package.
Will the phone live up to the hype it has generated in the past few weeks or just prove to be yet another addition to the already saturated market of Chinese phones? Let’s find out.
At first glance, the phone felt and appeared like mid-tier phone, instead of a cheap, entry-level smartphone. It was easy to grab and had a nice feel to it, a feature rare in this price range. Inside the box, you will find a USB cable, wall charger, earphones and instruction manuals.

Display

The 5.5 inch 720p screen gives a pixel density of ~267 ppi, which means you will experience visible pixelation if you have near perfect eyes. But it is good for people with big fingers and weaker eyes, as lower screen resolution provides bigger icons and generally good overall navigation experience. In outdoor conditions, the screen provides ample brightness which makes it very easy to read the texts even in the most brightest conditions.

Playing videos on YouTube at 720p resolution gave me mixed results. The colors were sharp and vibrant sometimes but other times the display felt a bit dull. If you are okay with the occasional drop in quality, you will find the display adequate for most applications. I did notice slight differences between running videos with and without ClearMotion – a feature present in the phone, which acts as a “video fluency enhancer”. However, the video quality remained acceptable at large.

Design and Build Quality

The phone is thick and bulky, as you would expect from any phone with a massive 5.5 inch display and 4000 mAh battery. The edges are curved and the phone feels heavy in hands.
On the design side, the phone has standard configuration. You have an earphone jack at the top, microUSB slot and microphone at the bottom, and the power button and volume rockers on the right side of the phone. The back of the phone is plastic and houses the camera at the top left with a single LED Flash below it. The bottom center of the phone has the speaker for calls, music, videos, etc. Of course, this goes without saying, but the phone doesn’t have Gorilla Glass display on it, so be careful when you put it in your bag or in the pockets with keys, lest you might scratch it badly. The body or frame of the phone is plastic too, much like its back.

Battery Time

Let’s get down to the real USP of this phone. The 4000 mAh battery is truly amazing. The phone manages to live up to the promise of being fully charged in 55 Minutes, and that full charge will easily last you a day and a half in usage. Even more so if you are careful with your usage of screen time, camera, data, etc.
Out of the box, we used the phone with 98% battery, below are the results of running the phone on WiFi on and off, lots of photography and a mix of heavy and light gaming done on the phone (Mortal Kombat X, Asphalt 8: Airborne and Subway Surfers ). Plus, running the above benchmarks of Antutu, Geekbench, and Basemark variants on the phone. All of this done with the phone just out of the box.
As said before, it has some resemblance with the Infinix Hot X507, but it's Bigger, brighter and this Bigger size still didn't increase it's thickness, it maintains a slim size (8.9mm).
The New Infinix Hot Note set A Record as the Slimmest and Lightest device on the market. This record was made attainable by its clever Screen/frame Ratio.
