Infinix S5 is the latest model of the Infinix Mobility's S-Series smartphones, and it's also the successor to the Infinix S4; released about 6 months ago. Meanwhile, the main two things that distinguish the latest Infinix S5 from the previous Infinix S4 are the bigger Infinity-O Display and Quad-Lens Rear Camera.
Though, the four rear cameras are only for the more equipped Infinix S5, and it is because, like the Infinix S4, Infinix S5 comes in different variants, and these are Infinix S5 (X652/X652A) and the Inifinix S5 Lite (X652B/X652C).
Yet, all these variants feature the same design and the same newly introduced 6.6-inch Infinity-O Display, all of them also feature the same Helio P22 Chipset and 4000mAh battery, like their predecessor.
Meanwhile, like the more equipped Infinix S4, the more equipped Infinix S5 also comes with either 6GB of RAM (with 128GB storage) or 4GB of RAM (with 64GB storage). The more equipped latest phone also comes with the same 32MP Selfie camera (like the previous S4), but, instead of having triple-lens back camera, like its predecessor, Infinix introduces AI Quad-lens Rear camera to the new Infinix S5.
On the other hand, the low variant of the Infinix S5, i.e., Infinix S5 Lite, comes with either 4GB of RAM (with 64GB storage) or 3GB of RAM (with 32GB storage). Yet, both versions of the Infinix S5 Lite are fitted with the same slightly lower 16MP Selfie camera and triple back cameras.
In short, apart from their different RAMs and ROMs, the following are the highlighted differences between Infinix S5 and S5 Lite:
-The front camera of the Infinix S5 has 32MP lens, while that of the Infinix S5 Lite comes with a 16MP lens.
-While the Infinix S5 Lite has three back cameras, Infinix S5 comes with four back cameras.
-Unlike that of the Infinix S5 Lite that looks plain, the backing of the Infinix S5 has gradient stripped lines and smooth edges.
Verdicts: Infinix S5 and S5 Lite are the first set of Infinix's phones, to feature Infinity-O display, and it is the Infinity-O display that gives the latest phones their overall stunning appearances. Otherwise, there is no difference between the latest Infinix S5 (and S5 Lite) and a few other recent phones such as the Tecno Camon 12.
Meanwhile, if you want another smartphone like the Infinix S5 Lite i.e., the one that also has Infinity-O Display (with almost the same screen size), and with the same price, you might want to consider Tecno Camon 12 Air. Though, Tecno Camon 12 Air has a slightly lower A22 CPU, yet, it has the same 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage space as the Infinix S5 Lite.
Design: A Unique Display:
Infinix S5 is a good-looking phone, and this is majorly due to its appealing 6.6-inch Infinity-O display. Infinity-O is the term Infinix used for the latest Infinix S5's screen which has a small cut-out hole, instead of the regular notch.
In details, Infinix S5 screen does not have a notch, like that of its predecessor and many other recent smartphones, instead, the display comes with a small cut-out hole, which houses the S5's Selfie camera; the concept that's similar to that of the Samsung Mobile, implemented in its recent Galaxy S10 (or Galaxy Note 10) smartphone.
Meanwhile, the cut-hole of the Infinix S5's infinity-O display is located on the top left side, while that of the Samsung phone is found on the top right side.
Apart from the Infinix-O display; which enables the Infinix S5 to gain more screen real estate, Infinix S5 also features 20:9 aspect ratio, which makes the phone to be a little slender or narrower, despite its huge 6.6-inch screen.
Just like the front, the back of the Infinix S5 and S5 Lite also reflect class and taste. The back of the phones are made up of polycarbonate (glass-like) material and they also come in different gradient colours. But, the gradient backing of the Infinix S5 has some fine sparkling stripped lines and slightly smooth edges, which make the backing of the more equipped phone to look more elegant and sleeker than that of the Infinix S5 Lite.
Again, Infinix also take the back camera set up of the Infinix S5 to the next level by putting the Quad-lens camera on the back of the latest phone. All the four cameras are neatly arranged in a vertical manner, inside a less-intrusive camera bump.
Another noticeable thing on the back of the phone is the Quad-LED flash, which is also vertically arranged, and placed next to the camera bump.
Colour Design and Price:
Both Infinix S5 and S5 Lite have the same thickness of 7.9mm and they also come with the same weight of 178g. Also, the latest phones come in three gradient colours of Violet, Quetzal Cyan and Midnight Black. Meanwhile, Infinix S5 and S5 Lite are available in major smartphone retail outlets and online stores across the country at the following prices:
Infinx S5:
6GB+128GB=77,000 Naira
4GB+64GB=67,000 Naira
Infinix S5 Lite:
4GB+64GB=62,000 Naira
3GB+32GB=54,000 Naira
A Bigger Infinity-O Display:
Slightly bigger than the 6.2-inch screen of the Infinix S4, both the latest Infinix S5 and S5 Lite feature the same screen size of 6.6-inch, nonetheless, the screen is still an IPS-LCD one like that of the Infinix S4. The latest phone's display also features a distinct 20:9 aspect ratio, instead of the 19:9 that came with the previous Infinix S4. And like i said earlier, it's this 20:9 screen aspect ratio that makes the latest phone to appear narrower.
Though, like that of its predecessor, the Infinity-O Display of the latest Infinix S5 is also an HD+ (720p) one, but the screen resolution has slightly changed from 1520x720 pixels to 1600x720 pixels. Which also means that the new phone's screen has a pixel density of 267ppi, which is almost the same as that the Infinix S4's display; which has a pixel density of 268ppi.
S5 Has Four Back Cameras And It Also Offers Better Selfie Camera Than S5 Lite:
Except for the presence of the fourth camera lens on the back of the Infinix S5, the back camera set ups and the number of megapixels remain the same on both Infinix S5 and S5 Lite. In other words, both Infinix S5 and S5 Lite have the same 16MP Main shooters, the same 2MP Depth sensors, and the same QVGA cameras which Infinix referred to as the AI-lens camera.
Meanwhile, the fourth camera; found on the back of the Infinix S5 only, is made up of the 5MP Ultra-Wide-Angle lens, and it is meant for taking Wide Angle shots.
32MP Front Camera Returns To The Infinix S5 Only:
Being a Selfie Camera phone, Infinix returns the same 32MP selfie lens, that came with the Infinix S4, though to the Infinix S5 only. But compare to that of the previous S4, the latest phone's selfie camera comes with some improved features such as HDR+ AI Backlit Portrait Master, to ensure that the camera deliver better picture qualities. Nonetheless, there won't be much difference between the Infinix S4 and Infinix S5 Selfie pictures, especially, when it comes to the details.
Meanwhile, instead of having 32MP selfie lens, like the Infinix S5 (and the previous S4), Infinix S5 Lite comes with a lower 16MP selfie camera. Still, all the features of the Infinix S5 front camera are also present in that of the Infinix S5 Lite.
Same Helio P22 Chipset As Their Predecessor:
Found in the Infinix S4, Infinix S5 and S5 Lite are also powered by the same MT6762 Helio P22 Octa-core CPU; a Cortex-A53 processor, which has a maximum clock speed of 2.0GHz. This also means that both of the latest phones features the same PowerVR GE8320 GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), as their predecessors.
Also like the Infinix S4, the latest phones are pre-installed with the same Android 9 Pie O.S., along with an improved Infinix's Cheetah XOS 5.5.
Meanwhile, Infinix S5 comes with the memory options of either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and the phone is also fitted with either 64GB or 128GB internal storage space.
On the other hand, Infinx S5 Lite is equipped with either 3GB or 4GB of RAM. And while the 4GB of RAM is paired with 64GB internal storage, the 3GB of RAM comes with 32GB internal storage.
Nevertheless, all the variants of the latest phones support MicroSD card of up to 256GB.
4000mAh Battery Also Returns:
Also found in the previous Infinix S4, Infinix returns the same 4000mAh non-removable battery to the latest S5 and S5 Lite. And because the latest phones do not support fast charging, it might take you about two hours and thirty minutes to charge Infinix S5 and S5 Lite from zero to one hundred percent.
