Should I Buy It?
Buy it if you:
- Are not concerned about camera quality.
- Want a low cost mobile device that can carry out everyday activities like web browsing, watching videos and social media.
- Do not play heavy games often.
- Do not use your phone often because of its battery life.
The Final Verdict
The Infinix Hot 7 pro is a phone that cost just a little amount to have. Its 6GB of RAM makes it better than most phones at its price range but its weak processor drags it a little backward. It has just a little advantage while multitasking because of its 6GB RAM.
The cameras also need a few tweaks to improve their performance in day light.
However, the Infinix Hot 7 pro is a pretty amazing piece of gadget for the price it is been sold at.
