As one of the manufacturers of quality gadgets at affordable prices, Infinix has finally released its latest smartphone series, the Infinix Hot S x521. Unlike its predecessor series, this Infinix Hot S x521 has a metal body and is equipped with a fingerprint scanner. With a metal body, it is expected that this Infinix Hot S x521 can be more resilient than the previous series. Not to be outdone by competing brands, such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Infinix Hot S X521 is also equipped with a fingerprint scanner feature as a means of security for its users.
For the screen size of the Infinix Hot S X521, it carries a 5.2-inch screen, somewhat different from most on the market, usually 5 inches or 5.5 inches. The consideration of using the screen size, considering the market of this product is Asia, while Asians have relatively small hands. So with a screen size of 5.2 inches, it is expected to be enough in the grip and the display is also wide.
Aside from the metal body and fingerprint scanner, another key feature is the selfie feature. The Infinix Hot S X521 has an 8MP front camera and a 13MP rear camera. Managing Director of Infinix Mobility, Benjamin Jiang mentioned that the camera of the Hot S has also been adapted to users in Asia, so that the advanced features on this smartphone display people with yellow skin or darker skin tones more brightly in photos. In addition, he also promises, the photo results from the Hot S will look more natural. Unlike most other Smartphones, the front camera of the Infinix Hot S is equipped with an LED Flash that will produce bright photos with natural colors. The front camera of the Infinix HOT S also features a 120-degree wide angle shot. The 1.4 μm Ultra Pixel technology on the front camera will complete the selfie or wefie experience with bright images.

The fingerprint scanner facility on this Infinix Hot S X521, apart from being a security feature, also serves as a tool for taking selfies. You can take a selfie on this smartphone by placing your finger on the fingerprint scanner.
This latest Infinix Hot, for the international version, already uses the 4G network. However, for those circulating in Indonesia, it still uses the 3G network. because Infinix still has to fulfill the TKDN regulations implemented by the government. Infinix itself assured that once Infinix meets the TKDN regulations, they will launch a software update so that this Infinix Hot S X521 can access the 4G network. From this, it can be concluded that the hardware of this smartphone already supports 4G networks, but because the regulations for using 4 G networks cannot be met, the software cannot use 4G facilities.
There are two variants for this Infinix series, the standard Hot S and the Hot S Pro. The processors used by both are the same, namely MediaTek MT6753, a 64-bit processor and 16GB of internal memory that can be added up to 128GB of external memory. The difference between the two Infinix Hot S X521 variants is the RAM size. The standard Hot S has 2GB of RAM while the Hot S Pro has 3GB of RAM.
