WispyEthereal:
they refused to repair my phone after one year three months after I purchased it saying it has been phased out!

which phone is that ?

Gkemz:
Another piece of junk. The company has continued to churn out substandard devices for africa, their dumping ground.
Imagine a 3gb RAM device of infinix could not run GTA San Andreas which Gionee and Tecno of 1gb RAM executed without hitches.

you guys are just jobless... Xiaomi, transsion , Samsung are all the same . you should be ashamed of yourself 60 years yet your country cant produce a phone and you are here talking rubbish

skywalker240:

They're out to scam innocent peeps over here

did they force you to buy ? poverty is affecting you ..

Myzubby:
he might be a paid critic
there are many of them on gsmarena. The one that shocked the most was that of a phone that was launched not up to 2 years and one critic claimed that he has been using the phone for 5yrs and the phone has alot of issues . Lol . There is no phone brand on gsmarena that doesnt have a critic

he is a paid critic always on negative review

LOLOLOLOLOLOL.... this is old news .. The guy was working for one of the transsion brand years ago and he left his job and this guy has been attacking their products everytime they launch new phone

Mind you, the first NFC enabled phone is the SAMSUNG NEXUS S released in 2010. NFC has been in existence for such a long time that you don't even know it's on your phone until you need it. It's just like Bluetooth. Can't believe infinix are trying to capitalize on it. This is so disappointing. 720p display on 6.82inch screen, a 48mp camera and two 2mp cameras, emmc 5.1 (God forbid), micro USB (Argh!!!). This is 2021, not 2011. These type of phones are suited for old men and women. As a youth, this phone will set you back for years. Infinix fans should be ashamed of themselves. No wonder they only thrive in Africa. People in China don't even know the name Tecno or Infinix. Search on AliExpress and see.

Good luck.

This is not an explanation for NFC na.

Cnach:

my brother if u follow some Nigerians u must enter hell fire before d coming of Christ. transsion group, transmission group, ips, that's all they name any phone that comes up but some of them using good phone know very well they can't afford another one of such type if the need arise now but they will wash u to believe u are low budget of urself. don't mind them o

I agree with this.

Great specifications. Abeg explain NFC NFC.

tafat:
not true, transsion have very amazing devices

Don't mind them. They keep discouraging people. I have heard that a couple of times. Yet I have people singing praises of Transsion devices. This whole thing is choice.

DONFRANSKID:

but I can tell xiaomi 1 billion times better than the transsion combined

Marketer sighted.

DONFRANSKID:

You guys know each other

talktalk4u:

DONFRANSKID:

Is there a phone that doesn't show you updates.?

Hello guys,

Getting a mid-range device that would give you a great deal of satisfaction from usage sometimes come with a lot of stress to finding the right one in the market. Let's take a look at the Infinix Smart 5 and the Samsung Galaxy A02. They both come at a very fair prices and with a competitive features.

To help you decide which of these two devices best suit your needs, I will be talking about some of its very important features you need to consider.

1. The Display: The Infinix Smart 5 and The Samsung Galaxy A02 both come with a 6.5"inch display with 720x1600 pixel, which is fair for a their price range. But the Infinix Smart 5 is slightly placed over the Samsung Galaxy A02 with it's screen to body ratio of 83.2% to that of Samsung Galaxy A02 which is 81.9%.

2. The Processor: While the Samsung Galaxy A02 uses a MediaTek MT6739W (28nm) processor which was produced in 2017 that works at a clock rate of 1.5GHz, The Infinix Smart 5 uses a powerful 2020 model MediaTek MT6761D Helio A20 Processor that works at a clock rate of 1.8GHz.

3. The Rear Camera: Samsung Galaxy A02 has a better rear camera section with a 13M+2M dual camera compared to Infinix Smart 5 8M+QVGA camera for a day time photography. But for the night photography, the Infinix Smart 5 has three LED flash which gives it a better outcome to that of Samsung Galaxy A02 which uses just one LED flash.
Selfie Camera: The Infinix Smart 5 uses an 8MP selfie camera, ed by a DUAL-LED flash for a better night pictures, while the Samsung Galaxy A02 comes with a 5MP with no for front facing LED lights.

4. Security: Today, fingerprint sensors have become a must have on devices be it rear-mounted or side-mounted.
The Infinix Smart 5 comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor while the Samsung Galaxy A02 has none of the modern unlock features and relies on and pins alone making the Smart 5 a better choice.

5. Battery: Both the Infinix Smart 5 and Samsung Galaxy A02 offer a 5000mAh batteries.

You can make your choice of which of the phones that best suit your needs now that you know the strengths and limitations of both devices.

For me I think the Infinix Smart 5 has a better edge over the Samsung Galaxy A02 when it comes to a mid-range Smartphones.

Honestly, this phone thing na choice. I like how you said you think because it depends on what suits your pocket as at the time.

talktalk4u:
Mr Man- GO and do your findings samsung has changed in build quality they are now using low quality too be able to meet up

I no doubt this one.

talktalk4u:
hmmmm...from 2019 till date any samsung less than 200k is designed for africa and same build quality with Transsion phones, Oppo, Xiaomi etc

Does it mean that the quality reduces because it's made fur Africa?
