InFocus A2 Review (First Impressions)

Since it is competing against the Redmi 5A and 10.Or D, both of which comes with a better chipset in form of Snapdragon 425 SoC, InFocus A2 seems a little underpowered. Also, when it comes to multimedia consumption capabilities as well as camera performance, Nokia 2 seems a better option than the InFocus A2 which doesn’t even have a fingerprint scanner.
