Infinix has insisted on incoperating a fingerprint scanner in their next flagship device- Infinix Hot S making it the first in the Infinix lineups to feature a fingerprint sensor, it is also going to carry along lots of premium features to make it worth while.
To start with, the Hot S will serve display in a 5.2 inches IPS Full HD screen, the display is sharpened to a 1080 by 1920 pixels resolution, having a PPI of 424 pixels, the screen has no protections from falls and scratches.
There will be on board internal storage of 16GB for the 2GB RAM version and 32GB for the 3GB RAM version, the storage space can be further expanded to 128GB with a micro SD card if you require more space.
The Hot S is set to run on android 6.0 marshmallow with the new highly customized XOS from Infinix on top, the XOS promises a more enjoyable user interface.
The Hot S X521 is powered by an Octa-core CPU that clocks with the speed of 1.5 GHz, it uses mediaTek MTK6753 chipset.
For photography, the Hot S was given a 13 mega pixels camera that also came with a dual LED flashlight to ensure you get brighter images even in dark conditions, the camera is placed just above the finger print scanner.
There is an 8 mega pixels front camera for selfie lovers, the camera is equipped with a single LED flashlight.
The Infinix Hot S is dual SIM enabled and supports 4G network connectivity option, it comes in 4 colour variants; Space gray, Silver, light blue and Rose gold.
In the power house, you’ll find a 3,000 mAh of battery capacity, while this is just enough battery juice for a 5.2 incher, we expected just a little more, say 3,800 or even 4,000.
Apart from the finger-scan technology, the phone will also feature virtual reality (VR) technology, the Infinix Hot S will also feature apps like Movie Magic that enables you to stream videos directly.
If you’ve noticed, the Infinix Hot S has a very similar spec sheet as the Tecno camon C9 when you compare 2GB/16GB version of the Hot S with Canon Camon C9.
Hot S will be sold for about 180 USD for the 2GB/16GB version which translates to roughly N50,800 in naira and 200 USD (roughly N56,500) for the 3GB/32GB version when it launches by the 31st of July according to a reliable source from Infinix Mobility.

Good morning Admin, please I have this infinix hot S X521 but its the one of 2gig/16gig. I want to swap for 3gig/32gig, how possible is it and what is the process? it’s urgent please.
it a smart phone
The problem with these phones is that the one year warranty is not even enough, because they normally go bad before a year and it always starts with the battery
I think Infinix really broe the market with this phone. but why is it so hard to include a big battery
This model could have been one of infinix best flagship if the battery capacity hadn’t been taken for granted.
This phone did not live up to its hype
does the phone have a slot for an external memory card??
I can not locate it
current price please
kindly assist I brought my Infinix Hot S to Canada and its working perfectly with all the networks but Google Play Store did not change to Canada for me to download some apps. How do I go about it please.
Try changing the location of the gmail address you’re using on the phone.
I have change my address on the gmail and moreover used my credit card to purchase app in other for it to route back to Canada but no avail. That’s why i was asking if there is something that needs to be done again. Thanks.
am using this phone for some few months now and is really giving me problems …..sometimes it refuses to boot and freezes most often
You can try a factory reset on the phone to see if that will help. Make sure to backup you files and app before doing that. Also update the phone to the latest firmware version (if you haven’t done so). That might fix the bugs.
It is really a nice phone , but the battery capacity is a low class.
You can apply some battery saving tips to maximize the battery capacity if you already own the phone.
I have no remorse for buying infinix hot s x521 coz it is fulfilling the substratum for buying it! : And it’s xo awesome, thrills and tainted with best technology
That’s nice Amanda. Keep enjoying your Hot S.
Is the battery are removable? Thanks
Based on the pros and cons of infinix hot s and Camon 9, which would u recommend that is better?
someone advised me to go for Infinix Hot S
how is it?
I like infinix products but the hot 3 and hot 4 on West don’t have inferred as some of Samsung s4 going is having, comon guys add something please.
how can i get hot s in kenya
Good phone from infinix.
The hot s is quit impressive regarding to its discussed features; but the power house is more or less excluded in regards of our anticipation
Your comment …y is it DAT d infinix hot s dose not indicate notification light wen message or bbm chat comes in and also wen charging it doesn’t indicate light
It doesn’t show lights because Hot S doesn’t have notification light feature.
What is the price of the hot s?
35k
I like the latest infinix android like hot s and note 3 but the size is discouraging me to buy one of it, i think infinix authority will change the size of its mobiles.
I just got the phone but I can’t find a screen guard or a phone casing for it. From Akwaibom state
How can I locate the SD card plesse
@Uchenna and Julls, the Hot S has no dedicated SD card slot, it use the second sim slot ( In the SIM panel) for memory card slot which will leave you with only a single SIM card space if you want to use SD card on the phone.
The SIM/SD card slot is located at the left hand side of the phone.
Pls, where can I locate the SD card slot?
i really love the phone but it battery capacity is nt encouraging
The phone is good compare to all its specifications but wot peace me off is the Battery capacity which just 3000mAh, this Battery capacity is not encouraged in Nigeria where some places won’t have light for more than 3months, I think Infinix company Shd specially produced Nigeria own to have more than 6000mAh battery capacity. aside the Battery capacity, I think I’m impressed with the phone. thanks.
@Adams, thanks for the unbiased feedback, I totally agree with you in the case of the battery, they should have done more than 3,000 mAh, we all expected them to…

The phone is not looking like a slim one, looks a bit bulky from the pictures and the battery is not even that big in capacity so we can it’s becos of the big battery, anyway, i like the design and, i dont know for you but I’ll surely get one after its launch.
The phone is very good. It’s what I’m using right now. It has a very good battery and I so much like it’s flat nature. It is very flat, I must say. The best phone I’ve used so far. Get it, you will not regret it.
