INFINIX S5 PRO MOBILE REVIEW

A lot of smartphones were seen last year with a pop-up camera, after which it seemed that now you can get a full view display comfortably in a place of the notch. But the pop-up camera setup did not prove to be more popular due to the punch-hole display and different notch cutouts.

With this camera setup, you get the full-view display experience and Transsion Holding has adopted a trend and launched a new device at an affordable price. Under the Infinx sub-brand, you get a pop-up camera in the S5 Pro phone, which is also priced at just Rs 9,999.

So will this device prove to be a great option for less than Rs 10,000? Let's have a look at the detailed review of Infinx S5 Pro:

Infinix S5 Pro Review: Design and Build

The biggest feature of the S5 Pro is its full-view display. As the trend is changing, the full-view display, that is, without any notch, looks quite attractive. In recent times, OEMs have been paying more attention to the compact design for one-hand use, and the pop-up camera looks better than any notch design.

We have the phone's Glossy Green Color Device available for review. This new color will be liked by the youth, but some can also use the use of more bright. The phone's software is also given with a matching green color accent and we could not download any other theme to change it.

The glass-backed plastic back panel at the back has been given to you with a slight curve, which makes it comfortable to hold the phone.

The physical fingerprint sensor is placed at the back, which is easy to use and also quite accurate. In S5 Pro, you have also given the option of Face Unlock, with which the unlock animation also improves the experience.

You also get a dedicated SD card slot on the phone as well as an audio jack. Both these features are very important for the user at this price. The USB port at the bottom is provided for charging. Well nowadays USB Type C port is in operation but with this price, it can not be called a shortcoming.

Infinx S5 Pro review: display

The phone uses an IPS LCD panel which is 6.5-inch in size and a resolution FHD +. With the screen being very sharp, its brightness can also be said to be very good according to Issy Price. The quality of the panel can also be called better than the average. Like other phones in this price segment, a little blue-ish display can also be called normal.

In the display settings, you are not given any option to change the color profile. In addition to the trendy dark mode, the S5 Pro also has an eye-care mode.

Infinix S5 Pro Review: Performance and Software

Talking about performance, it is clear that you may have to make some compromises here. On the phone, you get the MediaTek Helio P35 octa-core chipset, which was launched early last year. If this is not a very powerful chipset, then we will not suggest your gaming, but in daily use, this chipset will not disappoint you.

With 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, this device can be suitable for long usage. XOS 6 software is available here with Android 10 platform and in this custom skin you get many features but still, there is a little improvement.

The S5 Pro offers a lot of pre-installed applications that bother you a little with ads and non-notifications, but you can delete them. Apart from this, we have no problem with connectivity and making calls.

Infinix S5 Pro Review: Camera

In Infinix S5 Pro, you get better camera performance than expected. But it is not so much better that it can be called special. The image cannot be called perfect, but given this price, you will like the output.

In daylight, the camera provides good detail output. To avoid motion blur, you have to hold the device fairly steady.

But yes users will like its night mode quite a lot. We have also clicked some good close-up shortcuts from the phone.

Expecting too much at this price will not be right, but the device will not disappoint you according to its price.

Infinix S5 Pro Review: Battery and Audio

Battery backup is good at phones. The large 4,000mAh battery is capable of giving you a backup of more than 1 day easily. Fast charging is not supported here.

The mono speaker at the bottom gives faster audio output but the quality is a bit average. Audio output from headphones is also good.

Infinix S5 Pro Review: Verdict

The S5 Pro is clearly a well-designed smartphone at an affordable price. This is a good thing because at this price you get to see the pop-up camera setup first, which is quite attractive. Apart from this, a good camera, a big battery, Android 10 software has also been provided on the phone.
