Overview:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Infinix HOTNOTE is not just another China made phones like other brands are launching in Pakistan. It has a very sleek good design, nice camera, great performance, very responsive touch, big screen with bright colorful display and finally a phone with great battery life. They are saying 2 days battery life for just 1 hour full charge and guess what? They are right about it as I’ve been using the phone for 1 week and it does give 2 days battery life on normal usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Infinix HOTNOTE is great when it comes to performance. It’s running KitKat 4.4.2 as operating system and it’s upgradable to Lollipop 5.0 (in August 2015). It has Mediatek Octa-Core 1.4 GHz processor to enable easy, smooth, and full use of your device for all tasks. I personally use it as my entertainment device in which I’m fully using it to browse internet, listen to cloud music on 3G, check all my social network apps and I’m playing all the latest games available on Google PlayStore which includes: Asphalt 8, Batman Arkham Origins, Brothers in Arms 3, FIFA 15: Ultimate Team, Injustice: Gods Among Us, WWE Immortals & Mortal Kombat X. All these games are running fine like they run on any highly priced flagship phones. Isn’t it just great? It also gives up-to 8 hours of battery life on continuous gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I also notice about this phone that it doesn’t heat up very quickly like any other smart phone does while playing games or watching videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camera:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Infinix HOTNOTE has good 8 MP back and 2 MP front camera with 75\u00b0wide-angle shooting for easy Selfies with a friend. The camera comes with preloaded Photoframes feat. Bruce Lee and many different modes like: Easy, Face Beauty, Panorama, Multi-Angle View, Motion Track, Live Photo, Automatic Scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infinix HOTNOTE Camera records HD videos at 30 fps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
