Just immediately after being introduced into the market, Infinix launches their latest smartphone, the Infinix Hot S4, also known as Infinix S4 at an event held in Lagos state Nigeria.
The smartphone which was recently launched is the successor to the Infinix Hot S3 and is also the first Infinix smartphone to feature the latest Operating System, the Android 9.0 pie. The smartphone also features those interesting and eye-catching features which are featured in many high-end smartphones of today.
We would want you to pay close attention to this well-written review of the Infinix Hot S4, so you can see both the strength and weaknesses of the device.
Design
The dewdrop notch has been one of the trending features that most high-end smartphones have been featuring lately and Infinix also decided to join the trend with the Infinix Hot S4. The notch houses just the single selfie camera sensor.
The Infinix Hot S4 arrives with a 6.2-inch Full-HD+ display and uses the 2.5D glass for protection. The smartphone also comes in with a body dimension of 152.2mm x 73mm x 7.9mm. The smartphone has a slim body and also weighs 141 grams which is pretty light and easy to handle.
The Infinix Hot S4 arrives in three different beautiful color options that are made up of the Milan Black, the Sapphire Cyan, and finally the Gold color option.
The back of the Infinix Hot S4 is very smooth and on it, you will find the triple vertically placed cameras which are positioned on the left-hand side of the smartphone. Beneath the triple camera setup is a powerful LED flash. Still, on the back of the smartphone, you will find the responsive fingerprint sensor which is well-embedded just above the company’s logo.
The smartphone volume rocker and power button are on the right-hand side of the smartphone, which seems to be the most used positions for many Infinix smartphones.
Camera
The Infinix Hot S4 comes in with a total of four cameras, one on the front, three on the back and they all offer interesting features and shots.
On the front side of the smartphone, you will find the single selfie camera comfortably seated inside the dew-drop notch. The selfie camera is actually a 32-MegaPixel sensor with a Geo-tagging, Portrait mode, Auto-HDR, Face detection, Touch focus, Panorama, and 1080P @ 30fps.
The triple cameras on the back of the Infinix Hot S4 are made up of the 13-MegaPixel camera with an f/2.0 aperture, while the second is an 8-MegaPixel sensor and finally the third is a 2-MegaPixel with an f/2.0 wide-angle lens.
Under the poor light condition, you have the powerful LED flash seated under the triple cameras which will be effective for effective subject illumination. Meanwhile, the selfie camera also comes with a front LED flash.
Performance
The newly released Infinix Hot S4 houses the Mediatek’s Helio P22 SoC which comes along with four cores of Cortex-A53 processors and runs at 2.2GHz.
