Other Features that You Should Watch Out For

It is important to never sacrifice the length of the screen to the enhancing of display experience. The 18:9 ratio aspects are the answer to this problem. You will also never go wrong with the 2.5D Curve that the phone has.
With the release of Android 8.1 comes the Oreo version of the device. The internal processor is pre-installed with the Infinix Company’s XOS v3.0 skin. This is in combination with the Infinix XOS that promises smooth performance and sleek user experience.
Processors and Storage
With the advanced Quad Core processor that every Android in this generation should possess, the Infinix Smart 2 has it all. The chipset contains the Mediatek MT6739 that provides a smooth multi-tasking experience for average Android users. The 1GB ram capacity is enough to go where you left with your previous game. If you are a heavy user or a heavy smartphone gamer, you can opt for the 2GB RAM that the Smart 2 Pro provides.
There is a 16GB internal storage available on all Smart 2 phones. This can be expanded to a 32 GB external storage if you are a light user. The Micro SD allows you to get the flexibility that you need without compromising on performance. 32 GB is plenty of storage space if you just want to save a lot of pictures, mp3s and doc files on your phone.
When it comes to the Infinix Smart 2 Camera, you will never get a boring selfie with the 13 MP shutter that this device offers. There is a dual LED flash which enables you to capture dark landscapes at night.

Battery
The 3050 mAh that the device has can be more than enough to meet an average user need. If you are into phone calls and standard messages, this can last a day without charging.
