All in all, the Infinix Note 5 has a beautiful and refreshed build with a great display to boast. Yes, it’s not the earth-shattering quality that could step up to the likes of the iPhone or Galaxy lineup, but with a pricing so aggressive, it easily beats the rest of the budget competition.

Performance and Camera
The Infinix Note 5 is powered by the MediaTek Helio P23 chipset which in my honest opinion, is something of a miss. Sure, the 3GB of onboard RAM will give you a snappy multi-tasking experience overall, but when it comes to budget chipsets, you just cannot beat the Snapdragon family. Sure, the overall price of the device would go up, but when it comes to market reputation, the Snapdragon evokes a higher trust factor than any other chipset in the market.
Coming to the component on hand, the P23 does give you a good overall performance, and if you are a general user, you probably won’t see the difference. It when you load the graphics or performance intensive apps that you start to see why I recommended another chipset.
While the performance sector is more of a mixed bag for me, the camera department pulls one right back for the brand.
