Number 5: Infinix S3x![]()
The Infinix Hot S3X Review: Curvy, Good Performer But Lasts Long. The Infinix S3X is the successor to the Infinix S3 that is available exclusively through Safaricom retail stores. I am still not sure how Infinix has segmented its market as the Note 5 is currently available at around the same price as the S3X and they both came into the market at around the same time. Android 8.1 Oreo With XOS 3.3 Lite, Snapdragon 3/4 GB RAM, Adreno 505 GPU Dual 13MP + 2MP, 16MP for Selfies just like any other midrange smartphone.
