Over the past few months, Infinix Mobility has had a set of amazing releases in the Infinix Hot 6, Hot 6 Pro, the S3 and the most recent Note 5. While these devices have amazing and highly captivating specs not worth missing out, the price leaves out some of us that can only afford the limit of our wallets. To this, Infinix has shifted the guns to the budget-friendly Smart-series.

The OEM has released the Infinix Smart 2 and Smart 2 Pro. These second generation smartphones come after almost a year since the first Smart smartphone.
