Unboxing the Infinix S4

Just like any other Smartphone we’ve managed to rest on our review desk, with the TECNO Spark 3 and Itel P33 turning out to be our latest inline. The Infinix S4 box type is no way different from any other release in the same corner. But then, what the blue Infinix S4 box holds is worth to term the Smartphone an elegant release.

To the box contents, the Infinix S4 is accompanied by a pile of well-sealed user manuals, a charger and a pair of headsets. However, the box poses a minimal size and a proper touch to detail since all components have separate cabins underneath the S4 unit. Nonetheless, here is a detailed list of all the box components.

• Charging Brick

First Impressions

Well, selfie centric smartphones are always cool devices to hold and the Infinix S4 seems to be that perfect companion you can easily reckon with at a low budget. The Smartphone poses a waterdrop display notch different from the basic top notch__that first crossed over to the Infinix S3X. Furthermore, the notch is powered on a 6.0Inch screen for a full display real estate.

Away from the first in its lane notch display, the S4 has a triple rear camera threat pimped with a quad LED flash, and a front lone version inking the detail capacity that can be produced in pictures captured by the smartphone. However much, the rear camera is a full detail teaser, the front camera misses a low light spicer (soft flash) making selfie shots limited to only well-lit conditions.

By first sight, the 2.5D Infinix S4 glass body makes it a beautiful phone with the rear panel tapping a reflective display. More so, the Smartphone poses well-curved borders with the same shiny feel making a phone cover limited to protecting it from accidental falls.

Basically, the S4 design riding on an improved full display screen makes it close to a high-end release riding in the mid-range tier. Interestingly, Infinix Mobile didn’t end on the attractive design, but also picked a leaf from the side slots trend of having both the Sim cards and Micro SD card on a single removable tray.

In return, it means the inbuilt battery can never be tampered with nor even having thoughts of opening the device’s back plate.

All in all, the Infinix S4 deserves a flagship status though we don’t know what the future holds. But depending on the amazing capabilities pimped to the Smartphone, we shall explore more of what the S4 has to offer and a test of the triple camera force bringing to life a well-rounded Fingerprint sensor in comparison to its S3 predecessor.

The newly launched Infinix S4 rides along with a default theme dubbed “ Empower the Infinity in You” teasing the S series path of powering up more selfies than any other feature shipped to the smartphone. Amidst the fact that all Infinix Selfie-centric releases have always focused on the cameras more than any other feature, The Infinix S4 spec sheet proves a max depth of field with a direction of elegance to its notched performance tweaks, and here is a taste of key features shipped by the selfie beast to the mid-range sphere.

Infinix S4 Build & Display

The Infinix S4 features a beautiful 6.2 inch HD display with a resolution of 720 by 1500 pixels with 2.5D glass covering the phone’s front view and a gradient filled back plate. On the front, the smartphone ships minimum bezels aligned to the new waterdrop notched center piece for a maximum screen real estate.  To the rear end, a square fingerprint sensor sits 45° away from the triple camera force.

Operating System

Infinix S4 performs on XOS v5.0 Cheetah in addition to Android 9.0 Pie __which is the first for an Infinix release and 2nd in the mid-range camp after the Spark 3. To the storage edge, the Smartphone comes with either 3GB or 6GB or RAM for lighting fast performance by its MediaTek Helio P22 processor coupled with 32GB or 64 GB of onboard storage expandable to 128GB via a micro TFCard.

Cameras

With a sniff to the optical lane, a triple rear camera set-up is packed to the back featuring a 13MP, 8MP and a 2MP wide-angle sensor aligned millimeters away from quad LED flash. To the front edge, a 32MP AI-powered selfie camera sits in horizontal comfort of a front soft flash. Available camera modes include portrait mode, panorama, auto HDR among others we shall attesify once we receive a copy of the device.

How about the Battery

A 4000mAh battery Powers up the Infinix S4 as the unique bit about all S series releases is the charging time coupled to them. Though the Infinix S levels have not risen close to rankings attained by releases like the Itel P33 80 hours beast,The Infinix S4 battery is one that can atleast perform for 2days with basic usage and minimal network leaks.

Infinix S4 comes in a variety of colors including Milan Black, Blue, and Purple. This means every mid-range encroacher has a choice to ride with their favorite color style. Nonetheless, we love the fact that Shiny back faces are back to the mid-range lane as the Camon 11 was one of those initial releases to bring the gradient feel to life.

A brand new Infinix S4 retails for UGX 585,000 available both online and at authorized dealer shops. To the performance, reliability and camera quality packed to the Infinix S4__we think this is one of those amazing releases as we shall testify to this once we recieve a review unit and avail detailed consumer insight about the new Android 9 powered selfie centric release now available in Uganda.
