Infinix Note 2 came with a noise that could not be easily ignored, just like the mosquito that buzzes into your ear and makes you either want to kill it or make it go away. That was the kind of noise that Infinix smartphones came with. Well, we couldn’t kill it nor make it go away so we had to stay with it until it became a common house hold name in Kenya.  It is a fairly good phone that gives you a place on the table with other high tech smartphones. The price is good, specs are also great and it’s improving on the design each day. One such phone is the Infinix Note 2. It made an entrance not so long ago but has become the talk of town; let us take a look at some of the specs that make it the Infinix phone of the year.

Display

If you are thinking of a big screen, then think Infinix Note 2, it comes with a 6.0 inches display. Truth be told, Kenyans love smartphones with large screens and thus this makes it the phone that they would not want to miss in their collection. The screen gives you the multi-touch ability and has 16 million colors, how good can that be! That translates to clarity in all your images, Kenyans who love travelling with their headphones and a movie on their screen, Infinix Note 2 is the ultimate Infinix smartphone that gives you that kind of privilege.

Connectivity

The Infinix Note 2 runs on both 4G and 3G connectivity, this is where the difference comes in. this Infinix smartphone is available in either 1GB RAM or 2GB RAM, if you go for the one with a 2GB RAM, you get to roll on the 4G network which is super fast and cool, it transforms every imagination that you have ever had on speed to reality. For Kenyans who simply need a good Infinix smartphone and speed does not bother them,  Infinix Note 2 which runs on the 1GB RAM gives you a 3G connectivity which will serve quite well.  This is something that makes this phone the coolest Infinix smartphone in Kenya at the moment and is the same model that gives you a lot of freedom of choice.

Customer’s Voice

Android

Infinix Note 2 runs on the 5.1 Android version, it might not be the most recent Android version but it has some of the coolest features.  Kenya power will guarantee to always give you a setback when it comes to electricity and when this happens, you can comfortably turn on the ultra power mode which is one of the features of this Android version. With the ultra power mode your battery life is extended to up to twice the time it will be on. It is super fast and you get great apps that are updated on your phone. Now you know why you need this Infinix smartphone if you don’t have one already.

Memory

The Infinix Note 2 has an internal memory of 16GB which is absolutely a dream come true to most Kenyans who have to face the constant frustrations of buying fake memory cards. In the case where you might need to get a memory card, it can be expandable to a capacity of 32GB of which I doubt whether you might even need to buy one. As I had mentioned earlier, you have the option of choosing between a 1GB or 2GB RAM. The higher the RAM the faster the smartphone but you will have to part with some extra shillings. If you are not able to do it, then worry not as the 1GB RAM will also give a smooth interface and switching between apps will not be much of a hustle. Plus there is not a lot that you will miss out.

Camera

Remember the days when every Kenyan had an album to keep memories in form of hardcopy photos? Those days have been completely forgotten with the revolution of the smartphones technology. Infinix, and in this case Note 2, has made most Kenyans manage their memories in their gallery. People need a smartphone with a clear and high quality camera; the Infinix Note 2 gives you exactly what you need, a 16MPrear and a 2MP front camera gives you images that you will look at ten years down the line and miss the phone that took those images. Images taken during the day are super clear. With abundant light you will get images that are very decent. Although this might not be the case when you need to take photos under low light intensity with your Infinix Note 2, they might appear to be less sharp but you can get away with that.

Battery

This is the point that makes this Infinix smartphone a part of every Kenyan. The high capacity battery in the Infinix Note 2 just takes this phone to a whole new level. It comes with a 4040 mAh battery capacity which is enough to take you for a whole 24 hour with maximum use and 48 hours if the phone is under normal usage. You can now forget the days that you had to stop gaming or you had to turn off your data just because you are travelling and you don’t want your phone to go off before you get to your destination. The Infinix Note 2 gives Kenyans the power to fully utilize every application and function that the phone comes with. Its charging rate is very high and within little time you are good to go for long hours without having to worry that your phone will go low on power.

Other features

Other features that make the Infinix Note 2 a smartphone worth having is that if you are into digital painting or you would love to get into it or even if you love doing it for fun, this Infinix phone will certainly give you that kind of experience. The colors are true and you might as well be the next digital painter of our time. The large screen makes it easy for you to create documents with Microsoft office as well as going through them, it is as easy as ABC and the screen complements all that. Infinix Note 2 comes with an elegant design that makes this phone your stylish companion. It has curves that makes it fit into your pocket comfortably and its made of a material that will remain new for a very long time to maintain its elegance. Infinix Note 2 comes with active voice cancellation as well as preloaded applications that save you the hustle of having to personally load them

Price

Infinix note 2 has a price range of between 13,000 and 15, 000 Ksh depending on where you buy your phone. The more expensive one is the one that has a 2GB RAM. Most of the shops that sell the Infinix smartphones in Kenya might at times be too expensive as compared to buying it on the online platform. The competition in the online businesses in Kenya is what makes it possible for you to get the Infinix Note 2 at an affordable price. My take is that you should do some window shopping and compare the prices before you settle on the place where you are going to buy one.

Conclusion

Infinix Note 2 is a nice smartphone worth having, considering the price that it comes with. It has incredible features that  give it a fair competing ground with smartphones such as Samsung that have rocketed prices. Apart from the camera whose mages are dependent on the quality of light, every other aspect of this smartphone is cool, with a design that just kills it.

The battery will come a long way in saving most Kenyans the hustles that they have to go through every time there is no power. As a matter of fact I think that this battery is something that makes this phone have an edge over most of the Infinix smartphones in Kenya. If you haven’t settled for a smartphone by now, it will be worth it if you take a thought on the Infinix Note 2. Don’t forget to do a price check as you buy this phone, I will guarantee you that you will have a great time with this Infinix smartphone as we wait for the next big thing that will come our way with the Infinix brand.
