It’s been over two weeks since we got the Infinix Hot X507 android phone and we’d consider it as enough time to put up a full review on the android phone.
We decided to term the phone as being fast, sleek, elegant and affordable because it really is. Honestly, I would have used the tag ‘a phone that beats it’s cost’ but considering the mobile market competition, that could be a false.
However, we just can’t deny the fact that the phone is truly fast, sleek in design, elegant in look and feel and for way lesser than N15000 (100 USD), it’s truly affordable.
Just before we head over to the full review of the infinix hot x507 phone, let’s talk more on the device in terms of specification. You should check out the specification before choosing to either buy the device or not when it finally goes on sale.
Infinix Hot X507 Specifications
For those who care about size, the infinix hot has got a 5.0 IPS Screen which is 5.0 inch. Talking about Quad Core, it’s got 1.3GHZ processor, runs on android 4.4.2 which is android Kitkat Version.

Infinix HOT X507 Full Review
We won’t be talking much on the look and feel of the infinix hot android device because we already did when we unboxed the device and gave a quick review. We’d advise that you take out time to read the post if you haven’t.
Something we probably failed to mention on the quick review post is that the device has got dual sim. Not just dual sim, you have a choice to choosing between using a nano sim or a normal sim card as both port are available and you can choose to use both. More-so, Somewhere on the internet, I heard most people say the device hasn’t got a memory card slot and here on this post, I’d like to officially declare that as been false. The infinix hot supports memory card up to 32GB and it’s port is situated at the back of the device where the sim cards are located.
Without wasting much time, let’s head over to the pros and cons of the infinix hot device. Please note that this full review is based on my usage of the device so far. You should know that for everything that’s got advantages, there are also disadvantages.
Pros Of The Infinix Hot X507 Phone
Multitasking is good and fast
If you have used a lot of android devices, saying a device runs on 1GB RAM isn’t enough to justify the device being fast. In the case of the samsung galaxy note 1, although it runs on 1GB Ram, the device isn’t that fast neither is it so good with multitasking. In the case of the infinix hot phone, it runs on 1GB RAM and I just got to admit that the device is good and multitasking is awesome.
Camera Quality is Good
May I remind you that the infinix hot X507 phone is packed with a back camera of 5MP and a front camera of 2MP? Even at that, the camera quality is cool. It’s even better when using the camera360 application. Below are some pictures snapped using the back camera.
Comes With Pre-Installed Apps and Games
For those who wouldn’t want to do many downloads before enjoying their device, the device comes with some pre-installed apps and games. Some of the pre-installed apps are Konga, and Facebook. Google Drive, Gmail, Flash share, carlcare, hangouts, Viber, palm chat, etc, and some of the pre-installed games are Asphalt 7, Assasin’s Creed III, Danger Dash, and GT Racing 2.
The device is fast and isn’t Laggy
As earlier stated, it runs on 1GB RAM with a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor. With such specs, the device isn’t laggy in operation and gaming is sweet with its 5.0-inch screen size.
Battery Life Is Moderate
The Infinix Hot X507 android phone comes with a battery capacity of 2000mAh. Based on my usage so far, the battery life is moderate. It could last more than a day if using it for its basic functions (calls and text messages). With 3G turned on and an internet connection enabled alongside pinging, chatting, and browsing at certain intervals, the device lasts well over 8 hours.
Cons
The loud Speaker Volume Isn’t Impressive
I really don’t know if am too used to loudspeakers as few people around me have certified the speaker volume to be OKAY while I think it’s Not. The loud speaker is placed on the back of the device and to me, the sound volume isn’t impressive. Most times, when am kinda distant from the phone, I won’t hear it ringing especially when it’s placed on a foam.
Pre-installed Games are Demo
For game lovers who are attracted by the fact that the device comes pre-installed with some cool games, please be aware that they are just demo games. You will need to download their full versions if you are impressed with them.
Flash Light as Torch Light isn’t great
In the country we are, we most times, tend to use our phones as an alternative to torchlight. In the case of the infinix hot device, I am not impressed with the light quality. I personally think it needs to be brighter. Although it’s cool at its current level, I sincerely think making it brighter wouldn’t be a bad idea.
No Light On Soft Function Keys
The infinix hot x507 uses soft function keys and I really do not know if this is a defect based on my own personal device. however, a friend just ordered one from Konga and I should be able to confirm when she receives it. But for the mean time, I still have to stick to the fact that light isn’t displayed on the soft function keys. Hence, for those who ain’t used to the function keys, they may have some difficulty during night times when trying to navigate through the device.
No LED Notification Light
If you were expecting to see an LED notification feature on the infinix hot like the innjoo note, blackberry or other devices, sorry this device hasn’t got it.
Verdict On The Infinix Hot Phone
Considering the pros and cons of the device, whether or not you still want to go for it is totally your decision to make. However, based on my experience with the device so far, I just got to admit that the device is awesome and if am to compare the device with other devices I’ve used, the device is awesome for its price and I would advise anyone who wish to get it, to get it if they can cope with the cons.
