It is easy to tell that the Infinix Hot 5 Lite is the stripped down version of the Infinix Hot 5, as indicated by the ‘Lite’ moniker. Infinix Hot 5 Lite shares most of the features of its sibling, but loses the fingerprint scanner and comes with lower RAM.

Design and Display
One may not be wrong stating there is nothing extraordinary about the looks of the Infinix Hot 5 Lite. It’s just there, sort of. But a textured rear looks good and should make the device less slippery.
There is still the 5.5-inch display on the front. This is increasingly becoming the norm these days. The mobile phone offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. You may expect decent wide angle viewing here since the mobile phone uses an IPS panel.
You may also be interested in the Infinix Note 12, the Note 12 VIP, the Note 12 Turbo, Note 12i, and the Note 12 G96.
Camera and Storage
Nothing changes from the affordable Hot 5 in the camera department. There is an 8 megapixel shooter on the rear and a 5 megapixel snapper on the front. Both promise to serve decent quality, especially with their support for LED flash.
As with its sibling, the Infinix Hot 5 Lite comes with 16GB onboard storage. You can also extend storage with a microSD card.
Performance and OS
Under the hood, the Infinix Hot 5 Lite carries a MediaTek quad-core processor as the Hot 5. The difference in terms of performance will have to do with RAM. The smartphone offers just 1 GB, compared to the other’s 2 GB. It runs off Infinix’s own XOS 2.2, a customised version of Android 7.0 Nougat.

Other Specs and Features
You get a high capacity 4,000mAh battery that promises to get things running for many hours on a single charge. This beast is said to offer up to 35 hours of talk time! Plus, there is fast charge technology that gives you hours of talk time in just 5 minutes of charging.
But the fingerprint scanner on the rear of the Hot 5 and most of the other Infinix Phones is missing here. And like the other device, the Infinix Hot 5 Lite does not support 4G LTE. It offers 3G support and other regular wireless connectivity options, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Pricing and Availability
Infinix Hot 5 Lite is now available in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana. You can buy the affordable android phone at leading online stores in the countries. Infinix Hot 5 Lite Price in Nigeria ranges between 30,990 Naira and 40,000 Naira, depending on your location in the country.
