Infinix Releases System Update for the Infinix Note 3 and Hot S

 

It has only been 2 months since Infinix launched her new XOS UI for its new line of Infinix smartphones. Infinix pushed out updates to the Note 3 X601 barely one month after its official launch. 

 

Shortly after, infinix pushed a more extensive update to the Infinix Hot S. Some infinix users have taken to twitter to express their joy. 

This is good news to all infinix fan boys and girls because speedy updates are what you'd expect from the latest crop of Infinix phones. 

Upgrades usually come with a variety of bug fixes and cool features that you may have missed, however, I haven't experienced any bug with the old or new software version. If you're using any of these devices, you should have gotten a prompt for it but just in case you ignored it and you wish to update later, Check Settings > About > System update.

Fingerprint Comparison: Infinix Hot S X521 vs TECNO Phantom 5

When Infinix decided to include a fingerprint unlock feature on the Infinix Hot X521, it sparked a lot of public interest but now, it appears that infinix has done it right by their die hard fans to include one of the fastest finger print sensors of 2016. This fingerprint sensor could also be used to lock apps of your choice as well.

Anyway we're just going to look at both the Infinix Hot S and Tecno Phantom 5 Smartphones in terms of specs.
