Infinix Note 5 marks it’s debut as the latest Android One smartphone from the Hong Kong manufacturer. The device is expected to make amends for the last year’s Infinix Note 4 and Note 4 Pro that got a good number of critics and mixed feelings from it’s users.
The Note 5 comes in bigger and sharper display size when compared to it’s predecessor, Infinix Note 4. Stylus pen is only included on the Pro version – Infinix Note 5 Pro. The Note 5 Pro (or Note 5 Stylus) hides its x-pen inside the body, something like what we see on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
