Yes, @s15 is right. Its specs seems to be quite mysterious!
Some says it has Magnetic Compass, some says it lacks. Keep in mind that a compass is extremely useful while navigating maps.
Same can be said about its display. Some says its IPS, some says its just a regular LCD!
Here its listed as having an IPS Display:
Infinix Hot 2 X510 Review: Everything you need to know
Whereas in this article, the reviewer is grumpy about not having an IPS Display:
Budget Nexus Redefined: Infinix Hot 2 Review - Mobility Arena
Brother, You're better-off with Qmobile's A1. Although it lacks a 5" Display with HD and 2GB RAM, but atleast you know what you're getting... Secondly, you can claim the warranty locally. In case of Infinix, I think you'll have to ship it back to Daraz.pk and then they'll further ship it to AFRICA! LOLz!
I was so interested in Hot 2, not anyone...
I'm not sure, but I think that Pakwheel user @hasooboy has (or had) a Hot 2 as I spotted an ad on olx by his name... It might be from someone else though...

Don't know why but my phone back is different what daraz is offering, as i bought mine from dubai. Don't why the back of Hot 2 available with daraz is perforated and some says its battery is non removable, Qmobile don't accept screen under there warranty also the factory issue's which are by default so its completely useless. A thread on Pakgamers was about Qmobile A1 he bought two of them bought of them have some issues.

What you have is real Android One logo version and it seems to be much better than what is being sold here at Daraz.pk.

In some other sites, I even saw Hot2 Pro. Looks like, there is some variants difference.

Hot2 Battery is removable.

I even talked to some guy having Infinix Hot2. He said Infinix is excellent value for money and its performance is 9/10, but he cannot comment on the 'quality' inside the phone, which is what matters most in the long run.

He even said that it has light sensor, which is not mentioned in Daraz.pk specs. It also complies with International standards and SAR standards, as per its user manual.

No idea if Qmobile meets International standards or not. Qmobile actually stands for 'Quality Mobiles' [emoji1]. So please do not spread false rumors about its poor build quality [emoji14].

Just visit any of you Quality mobile service center you will be served after at least 1-2hr From there you come to know how much quality they are giving. well i myself visited 4 time in 2 years out 4 qmobiles which i have bought while in case on nokia None

I had bought Q tab 1000 last year. It fell down and screen broke although touch is working fine. The customer care center quoted me replacement price of 2100. Kept the tab with them for a month and then returned saying they haven't got the screen so can't be replaced. I have also checked from hafeez centre. It isn't available there as well. Any ideas?

No doubt, I know some people who had to go there several times and even then the problems got 'worse' instead of improving. Aik din 'Quality Mobiles' service centre walon se sath'!

Majority of 'Quality Mobiles' products are not even theirs, they just pick up some very cheap Chinese smartphones or tablets and then stamp it with Qmobile logo!.

They should focus less on making useless TV ads and focus more on quality of their products!

We have another example right here of 'Quality Mobiles' excellence.

If touch and display is performing good, then mostly front glass replacing is required, not the whole system.

There are 3 support centres in Lahore btw. You can have second opinion from them.

Taking a few seconds to look at phone releasing dates at Gsmarena saves from a lot of headache.

The worst option now!.

It was released in September 2012, which makes it 3 years old OUTDATED phone.

Buying outdated phones = No Lollipop or Marshmallow updates, no official support, no resale value and so on!.

Its repairing costs are sky high btw, especially touch and display components, which may cost higher than the price of the phone itself!.

It has 2 GB RAM for very smooth multitasking and LTE band 3 support for Pakistani 4G, but still getting it is NOT a wise decision.

Its good that Core Prime 4G was not available.

Assuming you want a 4G enabled Samsung budget phone.

Now a better latest model is coming soon in Pakistan. Galaxy On5 (4G) for ~17500/-. Its specs are in between Grand Prime and Galaxy J5. It has 1.5 GB RAM, so its performance will definitely be A LOT better than Core Prime and Grand Prime.

Getting Galaxy On5 is a better decision, though you may need to wait a bit.

~21000/-.

Its a great phone, but the battery timings and standby power consumption is very high in its Kirin Silicon 620 chip. So is the case with Honor 4C.

IIRC, Its secondary slot can either run a secondary nano sim or a microsd card, only one of them at a time.

I know about the specs as my cousin brought one for 22k 2 months back so just wanted to inquire about the latest price which some one told me around 19k
Anyways thanks.

I confirmed, it's hard to find the 4G model these days. 3G version is dual sim, so people prefer that over single sim 4G model.

I think Homeshopping.pk or ishopping.pk have it. If you still want to order it, get the G361 series. 1 GB RAM is mostly suitable for light use only.

Now there is also Galaxy J2 4G (1 GB RAM) btw.

The recommended retail price is 20800/- or 21000/-, but there is some 'discount offered' by shops to boost the 'low sales', to improve their 'cash flows', so that they could invest in something 'more profitable'[emoji14].

Seeing the price drops of it (~6000-7000 in last 6 months), it doesn't seem to be a successful model at all. Honor 3C was a real success and its price stayed stable for a long time!

Maybe u r right as it's battery is a major drawback honor 3c has a sightly bigger battery that this phone but I some time really used to hate its battery timings.But my cousin also a ex owner of 3c and now of this phone said that it gives the same battery timings due to optimised os and better chipset.
So may be I will buy one for me next month inshallah.

I think the reason for infinix to go the perforated back instead of there original one is due to android one logo at the back of device, as the android one is already here and qmobile partnered with google for Pakistan and infinix didn't so to avoid legalities they hide the android one logo and not even mentioning on there website in Pakistan that its android one.
