China’s Transsion Holdings backed Infinix Mobile recently launched its first Android One smartphone in partnership with Google. The new model is named Infinix Note 5 and comes in two variants. The 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage variant is priced at Rs 9,999, whereas the 4GB RAM with 64GB storage is available for Rs 11,999. This device comes with the purest form of Android -- absolute stock Android UI. Among many impressive characteristics, the device comes with hardware that many competitors cannot boast of in this price bracket.

The Infinix Note 5 went on sale exclusively on Flipkart from August 31. It comes in three color choices – Ice Blue, Milan Black and Berlin Grey.

Business Standard took a close look at the Infinix Note 5 (3GB Blue Version) that comes powered by a 4,500 mAh battery, cameras infused with AI, and the Android 8.1 Oreo OS, in its purest form.

Design:
At first glance, the Note 5 looks premium and classy. The company has given a lot of attention to the design and its aesthetics. Thus, the device gives out the look of a premium-looking phone, which makes it look like a very expensive one in hand.

Like most phones in this budget segment, Infinix Note 5's fingerprint scanner is also at the back. The camera is placed at the top of the back panel. The phone also comes with added a dual LED flash on the rear and has aligned the camera sensor and the flash horizontally.

Although made of plastic, the phone feels solid and the curved edges make it easy to handle it with one hand. The chrome lining surrounding the frame adds lustre and grip to the device.
