It was also mentioned that the fingerprint isn't quick while unlocking and it always requires you to reposition finger. Though the commendable feature is that it doesn't lag and delivers an impressive user experience.
The battery life is good, with a lot of review test, it shows that with heavy consumption in a day (Watching HD videos, Google Map turned on for navigation, 2 hrs of gaming, and active Whatsapp, Note 5 drops to 45%.
Infinix and its latest tweak in its Camera app. It has professional modes such as Beauty, Panorama, Night, and Portrait. It also shows that Infinix uses AI for its camera and viewfinder when taking photos.
Photo quality is average let's say not too bad, not too good, with a low detailed picture and mixed result in daylight. It's manual HDR makes it difficult to meter light. Portrait photos have decent edge detection and require the user to tap focus multiple times before it picks. Not to forget, Portrait selfies are over-saturated. Night mode is meant to be switched manually while recording videos its maximum is at 1080px.
