Infinix mobility has recently launched a new budget smartphone in its “S” series device, the Infinix S5. Infinix S5 succeeds the Infinix S4 launched in April 2019 and it packs interesting new upgrades.
Infinix S5 features a 6.6-inch display and the first Infinix smartphone to incoporate the Infinity-O display (hole punch display). S5 like most of the recently launched Infinix device features a gradient design, however, this time the company has decided to add a touch of glass.
The devices uses a glass body (a 3D Crystal Feather Glass Design) with other extras. I was expecting an in-display fingerprint feature in this devices, too bad it still uses the traditional fingerprint reader on the rear.

Infinix S5 comes with 4000mAh built-in battery with fast charge, the same as it predecessor. Sincce there’s no details of the Infinix Hot S5 Pro yet, I’m guessing it’ll get a 500mAh increment in its battery. Also Infinix hasn’t launched many device with Snapdragon Soc this year, it wouldn’t be so bad if we see a Snapdragon S5 Pro
