The Infinix Hot S3 is the latest installment in their Hot S line up of smartphones.
Compared to its predecessor, the S3 did away with a few less important gimmicks, ramped up on the most important things and adopted the new ‘standard’ aspect ratio for mobile devices.
Quick Details
- Network: 2G / 3G / 4G
- Display: 5.65 inches, IPS LCD Touchscreen display — (720 x 1440 pixels)
- Software: Android v8.0 (Oreo)
- Processor: 1.4GHz Octa-core CPU (Snapdragon 430)
- Memory: 3GB RAM | 32GB ROM
- Cameras: Front — 20 MP (dual-LED flash) | Rear — 13 MP (Dual-LED flash)
- Battery: 4000 mAh
Software, Design, Display
As always, the Infinix Hot S3 is a dual SIM Android device running on the latest (and greatest) flavor of the operating system (Android Oreo — 8.0) albeit skinned with the latest version Infinix’s proprietary custom user interface — XOS.
The device supports LTE and, like all Hot S devices prior to it, has a hybrid SD Card/SIM configuration.
Design-wise, the device’s form factor bears a slight resemblance to the S2 in that their edges are slightly curved on all four sides and the fingerprint reader is placed prominently in the “right position” at the back.
Apart from the slight form factor resemblance, every other design feature is markedly different.
The Hot S3, though not truly bezel-less, features slimmer bezels on all four sides of the display and has a camera positioning at the back similar to that on the iPhone X.
About the display, it is a 720 by 1440 5.65-inch IPS LCD display having a pixel density of about 285 pixels per inch.
Performance, Hardware, Cameras
Under the plastic chassis of the Hot S3, Infinix, surprisingly, slipped in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430 SoC — the same SoC on the Nokia 6.
Due to that, the S3 is 1.4GHz Octa-core CPU smartphone having an Adreno 505 GPU.
Memory-wise, the device features 3GB of RAM (although, rumor has it that there’s also a 4GB version), and 32GB of onboard storage which can be expanded by means of an external microSD card.
Down to one of the selling points of the Hot S series, the front-facing camera on the Hot S3 is a 20-megapixel wide-angle camera supported by a dual-LED flash in front for selfies, wefies, and snaps.
At the back sits a 13 MP f/2.0 camera with another dual LED flashlight beneath it.
Finally, the battery on the device is a 4000 mAh Li-Ion battery.
Other noteworthy features of the device include:
- A headphone jack,
- OTG support,
- microUSB 2.0 (no USB C here),
- A rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

Awwal am using d phone s3 d dual sim is working perfectly with my SD card same on one tray beside ur left hand side . what u need to do is to cut ur sim card to nano size like iPhone n add ur memory card
samuel says
infinix hot s3 and camon x which of them is better and smat
Awwal says
Boss their is one thing I don’t understand with this phone, can I use SD card and the same time use 2 sim card? That’s why I don’t like hot S, pls do explain further about d SD card and Sim card feature
Kay says
Hey Awwal,
The Hot S3 still has the same SIM configuration as the Hot S (this was mentioned in the article above) so you cannot use two SIMs and a memory card at the same time.
If you are going to be using a memory card, you’d have to sacrifice one of the SIM slots.
Hope this helps. 🙂
chukwudubem says
to use two Sims on a hybrid phone,you have to melt your sim,remove the golden or silver plated chip then place it at the back of your memory card
Marvellous says
The tray contains 2 nano SIM cards and a memory card. That’s what I’m using now.
For more information, you can contact me on 07031672050
Anonymous says
You can. I’m using the phone. Two sims and a memory card are in it.

am not buying it they removed the gyroscope sensor which was the best spec of the s2 and also no dual selfie camera

What do you need a dual selfi camera for? When the single can give you what the double dose
Chris says
But what about the gyroscope sensor they removed it won’t support vr…….I wanted to buy the s2 for dat reason alone
Benita Benita says
Sorry please what’s a gyroscope sensor

It’s a sensor incorporating an electronic gyroscope and an accelerometer. Basically, it is used for motion and direction sensors in smartphones

It can work. However, I’d strongly advise against spending money to ship it down here since It’ll be launched right here in Nigeria pretty soon.
