Infinix Hot 5 VS Infinix Hot 6 Pro – Why you should upgrade to the Infinix Hot 6 Pro. One of the most talked about smartphone in the last few weeks is finally out. The Infinix Hot 6 and Hot 6 Pro features a dual rear camera. And they rightfully succeed the 2017’s Infinix Hot 5. The Hot series has been one of the budget series of Infinix. And with the constant demand of quality specs from users, we are yet to see how Infinix will manage the series going forward.

Now the Infinix Hot 6 and Hot 6 Pro are here and they are not as cheap as you would think. Last year’s Infinix Hot 5 is still very much available across various online shopping stores in Africa and Asia. But the real question will be, how much upgrade does the Infinix Hot 6 come with? This article will give you a detailed comparison of the Infinix Hot 5 and the Infinix Hot 6 Pro.

Infinix Hot 5 VS Infinix Hot 6 Pro – The Design

You would agree with me that the Infinix Hot 5 features a better design and build compared to the Infinix Hot 6 Pro. The Hot 6 Pro looks plain with its front glass and plastic back design. The Hot 5 also features a front glass with a plastic back. But the back of the Hot 5 isn’t plain, you would see multiple small triangles all over it. And it would surely make the phone easy to hold and won’t slip off your fingers easily.

The Infinix Hot 6 Pro is lighter than the Hot 5, which is a good move by Infinix if you ask me. The Hot 6 Pro measures 7.8mm in thickness and a weight of 145 grams. While the Hot 5 measures a bulky 8.3mm in thickness and weighs 168 grams. You get to choose from four body colors option for the Hot 6 Pro. The colors available are Sandstone Black, Magic Gold, Bordeaux Red and City Blue. While the Hot 5 comes in five body colors; Fine Gold, Sandstone Black, White, Lemon and Red colors.
