We love 18:9 display phones that both fit your hand and your budget. The Infinix Hot S3 is a promising midranger that fits that description and packs both the specs (Snapdragon 430, 3GB RAM, 20MP selfie camera), the looks (5.65-inch HD+, 18:9 aspect ratio), and the longevity (4,000 mAh battery). Hopefully, the performance and the camera image quality will also be decent (our full review will be up soon), because the price certainly is (at P7,999).
Yes, that’s a fingerprint sensor on the back (something not even the P12,990 LG Q6 and the P9,990 OPPO A83 have), Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, and a battery capacity that nearly matches that of the P11,995 ASUS ZenFone Max Plus. The Infinix Hot S3 will be available starting February 21, 2018 for P7,999.
