First Impressions

At first sight, the Infinix S3 is a lightweight beauty to behold. It looks and feels like one of those smartphones that care was put into their design process.

Face ID, Android 8.0, great battery, sonic processors, and the new enhanced SIM tray. You can't help loving everything about the S3.

This 'golden boy' has some seeming pitfalls that I will not want to rush into conclusions about until a thorough review. But for now, it looks like a good buy in itself.
