InnJoo today unveiled two new smartphones — the InnJoo Halo and the InnJoo Fire Plus — at an event in Lagos, Nigeria, that both come with larger batteries and said to be customised for the Nigerian market. Earlier, TechLoy reported that the company was set to unveil two devices with larger batteries in the Nigerian market. The InnJoo Halo is a 5-inch screen smartphone powered by a 1.2GHz Quad-core processor, running Android 4.4 OS and a built-in InnUI that ensures longer usage with its power saving settings. With a 1GB RAM and internal storage of 8GB which can be further expanded to 32GB via microSD card, the phone packs a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera and a 3,200mAh battery, which according to InnJoo can keep the smartphone under one-day full operation, 15 hours phone call, and for 300 hours stand-by time.

READ: Infinix Hot: The GearLoy Review Recall that the Infinix Hot and Infinix Zero were released to the Nigerian market not too long ago and have both witnessed impressive sales. Within 24 hours of its release, the Infinix Hot Note became the fastest selling sales pre-order in the history of JUMIA. But the release of the Infinix Hot Note was expected since some specific features and specs which the Infinix Hot and the Infinix Zero lacked were taken care of in this release, especially with regards to the crave for the ‘phablet’ form factor for smartphones. I received an Infinix Hot Note unit from JUMIA last week and I have been playing with it, so here’s my take of this nicely designed bigger version of the Infinix Hot. First, what’s in the box? The phone comes in four colours, namely Mint Green, Anthracite Grey, Champagne Gold and Copper Brown. The unit I received was Mint Green (as pictured above). When you unbox, you will find the phone, a USB 2.0 charging cable and charger, white earphones, and of course those safety information and user guides that most people hardly read these days. The Infinix Hot Note is from the Hot family, but takes things one step ahead by increasing the size of the screen to 5.5 inches with HD Capacitive Touch Screen at 720 x 1280 screen resolution. At first, I was thinking that since this is the same resolution with the Samsung GALAXY A5 (which is 5- inches, by the way), the resolution would be overstretched and the display would be pix- elated. Happily, the display was crystal clear and there was no pix- elation whatsoever. The phone is Dual- SIM enabled offering dual standby, so that comes in handy with two micro-SIM cards. The front facing camera is 2 megapixels, while the rear camera is 8 megapixels, which is an upgrade from the Infinix Hot’s 5 mega pixel rear camera. The Hot Note also comes with some premium features like Bluetooth 4.0 (meaning that your Nike Fuel Band or Fitbit Flex/ One is going to work with it). You can also pop in an external microSD card up to 32 GB, though the phone comes with a 16 GB internal memory and 1 GB of RAM, the same with the Infinix Hot. Here, don’t expect anything new with the design of the Infinix Hot Note since it looks pretty much like the Infinix Hot, although with a larger screen size. Another difference is that the resolution was bumped to 720 x 1280, which is significantly higher than the 480 x 854 on the Infinix Hot. The volume rocker and the power button is to the right of the phone, the 3.5 mm jack port is at the top, while the charging port is at the bottom. At the back of the phone is the Infinix logo and the HOT NOTE branding, close to the base of the phone and you can find the micro-SIM card slots and the microSD card slots when you open the back of the phone. The rear camera is at the top left corner with the LED flash close to it. However, I think that the build of the Hot Note makes it feel a little bit chunky, although the company claims that it is the slimmest and lightest 5.5-inch device in the market at 8.9mm thickness and weighing 172 grammes. When compared with the GALAXY Note 4 which is equally a 5.5 inch device at 8.5mm thickness and weighing 176 grammes, I would have preferred if it was slightly lighter and slimmer so that one can handle it with one hand atimes. The screen of the Infinix Hot Note also attracts dirt and leaves smudges on it, so if you have sweaty fingers like mine or your hand is dirty, you will need to be wiping the device’s screen from time to time. The Infinix Hot Note battery has an awesome 4000 mAh, which is twice the battery capacity on the Infinix Hot smartphone. What this means is that the phone can last for a whole day upon full charge and perhaps up to two days, depending on your usage. Of course, if you use services that constantly use a lot data from the internet, it could impact on the smartphone’s battery life. Although phone makers like Infinix sell accessories such as power banks as back-up power, you might not need to buy one for the Infinix Hot Note. I have always said that the quality of a smartphone’s image does not depend on how much megapixels it packs. Here is an 8 MP camera that delivers superb photographs. Although it lacks optical image stabilisation, if you steady your hands, you’ll surely get excellent pictures. Here is a photo I shot with the camera. Let this picture speak for itself. If I can get a picture this good indoors, then taking photos with the Hot Note outdoors during the day will equally be great. However, the Hot Note’s front facing 2 megapixels camera did not impress me, as it took time for it to focus and find my face. So be sure to take extra care, and ensure that your hands are steady when using the front facing camera to avoid a blurry image. If you get the Infinix Hot Note from JUMIA , you will get some special offer to go with it courtesy of JIM, yeah that’s JUMIA, Infinix and MTN. If you insert an MTN SIM into the Hot Note, you’ll get 2015 MB free data bundle, and 100% data bonus (terms and conditions applicable). Another selling point for the Infinix Hot Note is its price. At just N23,500 on JUMIA, this mid-range smartphone is unbelievably affordable. In fact, it appears that phones that sell at that price range are ubiquitous in the market, although with lower specs and below par performance when compared with the Hot Note. So do these specs and features impress you enough to want to go out and pick one? Have your say in the comments or tweet at me.
