Last year, local smart devices maker MyPhone released the Infinity and with it, a new line of smartphones. Now, we have the Infinity 2 Lite at the HQ, which means it’s play time!

The first generation Infinity blew a lot of minds away – both techies and consumers alike, and the phone was open to a lot of possibilities. This time around, I was able to take the Infinity 2 Lite for a spin and I must say, MyPhone has done a pretty good job on improvements to the previous generations without the phone taking a big chunk of your wallet away.

Originally Both Infinity 1 and Infinity Lite 1 had Corning Gorilla Glass on the back part of the phone. MyPhone did away with that design language for the Infinity 2 Lite. This time around, the back panel had a plastic back with a sandstone finish. While that eliminated the problem of smudges and fingerprints, it also reminded me of the One Plus One a little too much. The back panel was rough to the touch but took nothing away from how it looked and felt in the hand. If anything, I felt that the sandstone back panel helped me grip the phone better.

One more thing I totally liked about the device’s aesthetics was a minimalist approach with the phone coming in at only 7.5mm of thickness. One thing I noticed that the rear camera lens protruding from the back, so I suggest for a pouch when stowing the phone while traveling to be sure that lens is free from scratches.

Upon further inspection the phone is neatly done as always – a signature of MyPhone. I really liked how thin and light this phone is. The display is crisp and bright, with everything running smoothly. Everything is self explanatory with the whole package, containing earphones, a USB charging cable, and a wall outlet included upon purchasing.
