2-minute Review [Positives]	Striking, sleek design, with rounded edges and a gradient color back - one of the better looking budget phones around Offers a good grip, and is relatively light-weight for the size Both fingerprint reader and face unlock work accurately and quickly Nice display - packs a 6.52-inch HD+ (720x1600 pixels) screen with a 20:9 aspect ratio and 90.3 percent screen-to-body ratio - color output is decent, and sunlight legibility is good too - overall, this is one of the better displays you will see in this price segment XOS UI is a decent Android skin, is smooth to use, and has a few useful features - like the dedicated smart panel (to the left of the home-screen for widgets and shortcuts), and Intelligence voice broadcast (can read out a lot of things for the user, like cricket scores, news and SMSes, as well as personal texts from various messaging apps) Decent performance for day-to-day use with a Helio P22 SoC - similar to Snapdragon 625 (though gaming performance is pretty ordinary, as expected) Decent triple camera setup for the price (13MP primary + 2MP depth + Low Light Camera) The primary camera gives reasonably good shots in daylight - sharpness and details are decent - though consistency is an issue Selfies come out nicely too (but the beauty mode can make the pics look unreal, so it's best turned off) Excellent battery life with a 5000mAh battery - you should get a comfortable 2 days of use Decent charging speed (it's not 'fast charge' though) The Hot 8 is an another reliable budget choice from Infinix offering a good specs/price ratio, allowing it to stand up to tough competition from Xiaomi and Realme - as long as performance is not a major concern, and you are not into gaming, it's worth considering	Good looks With a glossy plastic back panel coated with 10 layers of nano chrome particles and a modern, tall display, Infinix Note 5 feels premium and good to hold, and is easily one of the best built phone in this price bracket The phone does not have antenna lines at the back, and with the subtle Android One and Infinix branding, it adds a neat look to the rear panel Bright display, with vivid colours, in the new 18:9 aspect ratio - it renders good colour reproduction with wide viewing angles The USP of the phone of course is that it's part of the Android One series, which means you get simple stock Android, and a guarantee of updates for 2 years Good day-to-day performance, with a mid-tier MediaTek Helio P23 (similar to Snapdragon 625) - everything, except very heavy games, will run smoothly Decent set of rear and front cameras, especially in daylight Both cameras also have a software based portrait/bokeh mode, that works reasonably well, as well as scene-recognition AI features Extra long battery life, with a solid 4500mah battery - with moderate use, the phone will comfortably lasts for one and a half days Fast charging support On the whole, the Infinix Note 5 is a worthy option in the budget segment, and can compete well against the likes of the Redmi Note 5 (which is slightly ahead on software customisability and overall build quality, but slightly behind on software simplicity and battery backup)
2-minute Review [Negatives]	With a large 6.5-inch screen, the phone is a little too big for one-hand usage It does pack a lot of bloatware, though (and spammy notifications) In terms of overall performance though, the likes of Redmi 7 and Realme 3i fare better (even the lesser RAM variants) because of their faster processors	The shiny back panel easily attracts fingerprints, smudges and scratches The fingerprint sensor on the phone is a bit on the slow side The display on the phone, while pretty nice, is also reflective and therefore outdoor visibility is average While the cameras are pretty decent in well-lit conditions, they are average in low light
