INFINIX ALPHA

INFINIX ALPHA

Hi guys, as I promised in my last review, we would be looking at a different phone today. Yeah, we would be taking a look at the Infinix Alpha. Some of us were flabbergasted when we saw people using infinix phones around us, that’s right, it sprung out from practically nowhere but it’s been around for a while now and they are making really nice phones. Guess most of you or some of you remember the Sagem phones back them, I can remember my old man using Sagem myX-7 and the suddenly the phones disappeared into thin air with no trace. Yeah, they are back bigger and better, though this time around they come as Mobiwire and they are in conjunction with Earning ways and out of the collaboration was Infinx Mobility founded in January 2012 in Hong Kong. Guess who their major competitor is? It’s Tecno mobile. How sweet, two companies trying to gain back the heart of their fans or let me say loved ones. Enough of the story let’s take a look at the Infinix Alpha phablet.

The Infinix Alpha is a great phablet, yeah I used the word phablet because of it screen size, it comes with a screen size of 5.7 inches. It also runs on the Android operating system and it’s quite a fast phone with a great design. Let’s take a look at this cool phablet.

Design: Infinix Alpha comes with a stunning 5.7 inch capacitive touch display which makes it fall in the category of phablet (combination of the 2 words phone and tablet). And guess what its screen comes with the Corning Gorilla glass 2, so don’t be so scared about you damaging the screen of your phablet easily. It’s dimension is about 161*82.5*9.3mm. And it comes in white, so it fits all styles.

Operating System: The Infinix Alpha (X570) runs on the Android operating system version 4.2.1 which is popularly known as Jelly Bean and on which most top smartphones run on except for the windows phones.

Memory: X570 comes with an internal whooping memory of 16GB, yeah, guess you can close your mouth now. That is quite much or probably enough for those of us that use up a lot of space on our phones. It also runs of 1GB of RAM

Processor: It comes with Cotex A7 1.2 GHz quad core processor, yeah, your eyes are not deceiving you, 1.2GHz, that is what you saw. That is way cool. So I guess you would be really having great speed and no problem with those great games you love playing.

Battery Life: It comes with a 2600mAh Li-Ion battery, kind of bad some of you would say because of it screen size, so you are expecting something more, but guess what it runs on a chipset which reduces the rate of consumption of its screen so don’t be scared because it has a long lasting battery. But to be sincere I do not really have much faith in its battery life.

Camera: Have decided to add the camera specification to my description box. Nice, I guess.

The Infinix Alpha comes with both back and front facing camera like every other smartphone but the nice thing about its camera is that its back camera is 12 megapixel with video recording capacity of 1080p HD Video and also has the popular LED flash, Autofocus, Geo-tagging and BSI Sensor for good low light capture. That is not all, its front facing camera is 5MP, really nice, and it would be superb for video calling

Price: N45, 500 – N47, 000(about 310 USD)
