Transsion Holdings sub-brand Infinix Mobiles today launched a new budget smartphone in India. Dubbed as the Infinix S5 Lite, it’s the cheapest phone in the country to offer a punch-hole display. The Infinix S5 Lite takes a lot of design cues from Tecno Camon 12 Air which also sports a punch-hole display under Rs 10,000. At Rs 7,999, the Infinix S5 Lite even comes with decent specs on board such as MediaTek Helio P22 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of onboard storage and a 4000mAh battery backs the entire package. Similar to the other smartphones from Infinix, the S5 Lite is also a Flipkart Exclusive smartphone and it will be available for purchase from November 22. Infinix has launched the smartphone in three colour options and it comes in only one variant.

Infinix S5 Lite: Specifications and Features
Infinix has been launching some decent smartphones in recent times. The Transsion Holdings-owned brand is currently offering the cheapest smartphone in India with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage at Rs 6,999 (Infinix Hot 8). The Infinix S5 Lite offers a punch-hole display at just Rs 7,999 and it’s an example of what we can expect from under Rs 10,000 smartphones in 2020.
As for specifications of the Infinix S5 Lite, the phone has a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, 20:9 aspect ratio and 90.5% of screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, the phone has the MediaTek Helio P22 chipset which we earlier saw on the likes of Infinix Hot 8, Realme C2 and the Xiaomi Redmi 6 which is now a two-generations old smartphone. The phone comes in a single variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Infinix even managed to add a microSD card slot to allow storage expansion up to 256GB.
