Infinix S2 Pro is a very good budget smartphone from Infinix and as well the successor of Infinix Hot S.
As you would recall, Hot S was a selfie focused smartphone, and now the S2 Pro comes with a more advanced front camera.
Infinix S2 Pro comes with a 135° dual front camera.
The new smartphone feature a 13 MP + 8 MP front camera which makes it the world’s first “wefie” smartphone.
In case you don’t know already, a wefie in a simple term, is the plural of selfie. That is, a selfie with 2 or more people. Group selfie if you may.
S2 Pro comes with 5.2-inch display like its predecessor, but this time with a 2.5D glass technology.
2.5D refers to a slight curvature at the edge of the glass display, also known as a contoured edge. This slight curvature in the glass gives a better user experience in touch screen devices.
The Infinix S2 Pro comes with Android 6.0 out of the box, but it is upgradable to Android 7.0 Nougat. The device is powered by an Octa-core Cortex MT6753W processor, clocking at the speed of 1.3 GHz.
Infinix S2 Pro has most of the other features of the Infinix Hot S such as fingerprint scanner which can be found at the center of the back of the device, 13 MP back camera, full metal body, 3000mAh battery capacity and a host of others.

its good phone above d expectation
Hw do u remove d screen wallpaper….. Thanks
the battery sucks seriously
am looking for infinix s2pro in uganda….where can i get it from and at what price??
Do Infinix Has Office In Enug?
I bought this phone today from slot 5th avenue. festac. but wasn’t given a mini SD card. Why is it that I don’t have an SD card
obviously because you’ve not bought one.
l want to buy this infinix s2,which one is 3gb and it has no finiger scanner
Please where is the Mini SD card slot located on the phone? I cant find it.
Its the 2nd simcard slot
I have this phone, but each time I want to download application the phone will Tell me not enough space in my phone, while I have just few application in my phone. Please what’s the cause?
Does this phone have a 2gb or 3gb RAM?
The review above is confusing says 3gb at the summary section and the says 2gb below
Infinix S2 pro has 2GB RAM/16GB ROM and 3GB RAM /32GB ROM versions.
If I check the memory of my phone there is still enough space, but still it keeps telling me not enough space.
If I check the memory of My phone, I still have enough space , but it still tell’s me’ not enough space in my phone.
Check if you’re using an external SD card on the phone. if you are, then go to settings and see if your default storage path is set to phone memory or external SD card. If the later, try changing it to phone memory and see if that does it.
Am not using any SD card , and if I check my phone memory and storage there is still enough space, and is only few applications that I managed to download. Could it be that my phone is fake?
the display quality made me drop the phone for the note 4 and hybrid sim
I have been using the S2 Pro for some time now and this phone is really awesome. Best phone from Infinix so far. The front cameras are the best I have seen so far.
Thank you for stopping by Chika. Enjoy your Infinix S2 Pro.
wht abt d batt duration
Please what is the current price of the infinix s2 pro and where can I get it in Benin?
You can visit the Infinix exclusive store in Benin city at number 56, Airport Road, Benin City to order the device.
Alternatively, you can order the device at slot.ng and it will be delivered to your preferred location.
What do you mean when you write 32gb the 16gb does it mean that internal memory changes?
One thing I don’t like about this Infinix S2 Pro is the screen size. Every other thing about the phone is OK for me but the screen size is making consider other alternatives.
I thinking Infinix deliberately made the screen small to appeal to users that prefer smaller devices.
Besides, 5.2″ isn’t much different from 5.5″. Right?
No it actually really really different. For me as one☺️
me too
