Design and display.
A perfect phone is one with a sleek premium design that fits perfect in the hand or inside the pocket, the S2 was built with all this in mind as it sport a metal unibody design, it thickness is 8.9 mm and weighs 165g which doesn't make it bulky.
The slim design smartphone, have curved edges, with thin bezel, there are two antenna lines at the back of the device with a rear camera, dual led flash, and finger print scanner just below the top antenna lines.
The power button and volume buttons can be found at the left hand side, while the sim tray is embedded at the right hand side.
Infinix S2 features a 5.2-inch IPS touch display, the curve edges is design to fit the 2.5D glass and protected Dragontrail glass to prevent from any form of scratch.
The screen resolution of 720×1280 pixels isn't bad for the device,as users will still get cool quality pictures.
