Ever notice how often a product that makes a huge splash at tradeshows fizzles in the marketplace? The story goes like this: Product is introduced at show to much fanfare. News media gives Product lots of press, and consumers everywhere express interest in Product's features and capabilities. Product hits store shelves…and stays there. Some early adopters purchase Product, but it never penetrates into mass consumer markets.
What went wrong? Market research clearly identified potential dollars in target markets just waiting to spend money on the new product. So why did it fail?
The problem is not with the market research, which is a necessary first step to rolling out a new product. Rather, the culprit is an absence of a true understanding of the people who will ultimately use the product. Just as important as market research, design research is a necessary ingredient for creating, developing, and delivering a successful product. Marketers need solid market research to guide their decisions about product positioning, revenue potential, and target markets. Likewise, designers need solid design research to guide their decisions about the product's interaction framework, feature set, and overall appropriateness for its users.
A design research phase consists of three main activities: stakeholder interviews, domain research, and user interviews. Some combination of all three makes for a successful phase. The length of each activity depends on the complexity of the product. More is always better, but effective design research can be gathered in a relatively short amount of time. Typically, one to three weeks is sufficient for most business and domain products, while complex enterprise systems with multiple interfaces require a longer research period.
An intimate understanding of user research is fundamental for designers. In order to gain such an understanding of the research, designers must lead—or at least participate in—user interviews. Simply handing them a report generated by someone else is not nearly as effective. If the design team is truly immersed in the user research and models that come out of that research, it will be much easier for them to design a product that meets the needs of the users rather than themselves.
It is vital that the people who will be designing your product have a good understanding of the company's specific goals for it. Is the product going to be positioned as a major revenue generator? What kind of development resources will be assigned to the project? Are there existing brand guidelines that will have an impact on the visual design of the product? What is the deadline for code drop and customer ship?
Don't assume, even within your organization, that your design team understands your corporate vision. Often, the product vision is diluted as it moves up and down the corporate hierarchy. Sometimes, a product vision is not well articulated to begin with, but is rather a collection of good ideas with vague requirements. Discovering this at the beginning of an initiative can save a lot of grief later. If your company does not have a clear idea of what they want to build and sell, you will never be able to design a product that meets expectations.
Domain research activities focus on the big picture of the product space. The design team should perform competitive research to identify existing products and services that may solve similar problems or offer complimentary features. For technical products (complex enterprise products or specialized domains, such as for medical devices or healthcare products), identify a subject matter expert (SME) whom you can use as a resource throughout the project. To immerse yourself in the basics of the product domain, spend at least an hour or two with this person before conducting user interviews. This will give the design team an overall understanding of the common terminology and vocabulary used in the industry or consumer space and provide a good forum for asking naïve questions before embarrassing yourself in front of real users. Just the other day I baffled and was baffled by a client as we both used the term “engineer” in a conversation. It turns out that he meant “sound engineer” when he used the term, and I meant “developer.” Once we cleared up the confusion, I was able to use the term appropriately and save myself and those around me a lot of confusion in the future.
Understanding common terminology and practices not only builds credibility (try saying, “disk drive” instead of “volume” to a roomful of IT storage professionals, and see what kind of reaction you get), but it also minimizes confusion. When it comes time to design, being able to provide solutions to customers in familiar language eases the learning adjustments they have to make.
User interviews represent the most important element in design research. An ethnographic approach in gathering user research is particularly effective. Ethnography is a social research technique based on studying people's behavior in everyday contexts, rather than under controlled conditions (such as a conference room in a focus group testing center). Ethnographic techniques focus on informal conversation and observing the subjects in their environments, instead of on questionnaires or set lists of topics. This approach will allow you to be efficient while unearthing the true attitudes and behaviors of users, as opposed to merely gathering statistics.
These ethnographic techniques provide quick, rich results. As a designer, your goal is not to create an exhaustive research report; therefore, you will be invariably less scientific than an ethnographic anthropologist or social science researcher would be. Rather, your goal is to understand users enough to be able to step into their shoes during the design process. While your experience and expertise with interaction design will provide for a foundation of good interface concepts, it is your understanding of users that will help you make appropriate design decisions for the product at hand. Otherwise, you're just creating design based largely on what you know and like. Unless you happen to be representative of the core target markets for the product, and unless you happen to have no quirky behaviors or processes that skew your perception of the problems being solved, the product won't meet the needs and goals of the people who will actually use it.
For example, I was on a team that recently completed a design project for an irrigation management tool aimed at golf course superintendents. We traveled to several courses around the country to talk with superintendents and their staff. It was valuable to watch each superintendent guide us through the current software tools they use to control their course's irrigation systems. More valuable, though, was the time we spent away from the computer. We rode around the course in golf carts as the superintendents performed some of their routine activities, and we were able to observe many behaviors that never would have come out of a meeting in their offices. We had heard, for example, that superintendents take a lot of notes as they travel around the course (they told us this themselves, in fact). In reality, though, the notebook mostly stayed in the back of the cart, and when a problem came up, the superintendent would either fix it on the spot or radio someone else to fix it right away.
Later, when we were designing the interaction framework for the product, we were able to quickly make decisions about how much data capture—or in this case, how little—was needed in the interface. Without those golf cart trips, we may have spent a lot of time designing an expensive-to-build feature that would not have added much value to the design.
Why do companies skip design research?
I hear this statement a lot from executives, and there is no doubt that they have enormous amounts of expertise and experience with their product domain. But does a CEO of a large CRM Company really know what today's telemarketers and customer support agents want to do with the product's call-center module? Even with consumer products, it's dangerous to assume knowledge of the individuals within the target market.
This is a common concern shared by many consumer product companies. How does one do user research for a cell phone, when anyone in the world is a potential user?
Sure, it's not possible to quickly profile every possible type of user. That does not mean, though, that there is no point in trying to understand any users at all. Knowing some users very well is better than not knowing any of them. Remember, design research and user modeling are first and foremost design tools. As your design team is faced with making decisions about what features to include in a product, and how to present those features to users, having intimate knowledge about at least one or two types of users will help them lean one way or the other. If they don't have any design research to draw on, they will be left only to their instincts, individual experiences, and design principles.
It's possible to target users who are representative of a large number of other users. The targets will often span multiple marketing segments. Interviewing some of these representative users and knowing them well makes it unnecessary to interview others in the groups they represent.
Don't worry so much about knowing every kind of user before the first release. As the product matures, keep adding to your knowledge store about your customers and make adjustments accordingly. Don't eliminate the process because it seems too big to swallow whole.
Avoid focusing on the "lowest-common-denominator" user, that is, the one who potentially represents the users with the least amount of technical skill, money, and motivation to buy your product. Focus somewhere in the middle; there is more chance that the users to the left and right of that user will also be pleased with your solution.
The key to having designers internalize and use design research is to let them participate in or, better yet, perform the research. Splitting up the design team from the research team can easily create a conflict of interest. The goal of a dedicated research team is to create a report that will probably be used for multiple purposes. The research itself is the end goal.
When designers perform design research, it is not the research but the product design that is the end goal. Designers constantly anticipate design questions, and as they perform research, it's always with an eye towards how it can help them create a solid design in later phases of the process. They may ignore or miss entirely some research opportunities, not because they are uninteresting or not valuable, but because they don't relate directly to the design task. This helps them remain focused and can greatly reduce the amount of time needed to do the research. Since the research itself isn't the sole objective, designers can be more selective and take more risks.
Other advantages to having the designers participate in or lead research is that they can't help but internalize the information they discover. Seeing first-hand the raw material that is used to create the user and domain models makes it easier to apply and believe in those models during the design phases.
While this is a legitimate concern, the research techniques discussed here yield rich, accurate results in brief periods of time. An ethnographic research approach and a small number of user interviews can provide the foundation for a quick and successful design research phase. In addition, the time you spend up front understanding users and the domain will save time during the design and development process by reducing guesswork, re-work, and exploration down blind alleys. Knowledge is power, and empowering your design team with knowledge about your business goals, your technical boundaries, and your users will provide an extra edge in ensuring that your product isn't the one gathering dust on the shelf after the tradeshow.

Disillusioned with commercial projects and making images for ‘clients’, he quit in order to pursue creating art full-time. Sæter Jørgensen’s work is closely linked to his biography – either it is political activism, experiences linked to exploring his environment in new cities or seeking emotional truths. He works mainly within the medium of photography and objects linked to the photographic image.
Sæter Jørgensen has been an artist-in-residence in Berlin (DE) and Linz (AT) and has been included in the annual National Art Exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo. He is a member of the Norwegian Visual Artists Association and the Young Artists’ Society.

Sadly memories in Sri Lanka are short, and I suspect few will remember the Coffee Club of International NGO personnel (not, I trust, the NGOs themselves in terms of deliberate policy) who spent much time and aid money at gatherings designed to subvert government policy. Their chosen technique in August 2008 was to draft nasty allegations which were then to be presented to the UN through Sri Lankan NGOs. The moving spirits behind the initiative however were foreigners, with a principle role in the drafting being taken by Peter Bowling of what I think was called the International Working Group on Sri Lanka.
I have never met the man, and know nothing of the institution he represents, but I had been told by officials at our High Commission in London that Bowling was close to the Tigers. There was also some uncertainly about the sources of his funding. Others involved included Alan Keenan of Gareth Evans’ International Crisis Group, which had tried along with the infamous Mata Hari of the International Centre for Ethnic Studies to allege what they called a Responsibility to Protect situation in Sri Lanka. I was also surprised to find Yolanda Foster of Amnesty International playing a part, since I had always thought that a more respectable organization than most – though sadly I was to find later that their approaches too depended on the individuals involved, and characters of high principle like Amnesty Head Irene Khan and Peter Splinter of the Geneva Office do not always hold sway.
Meanwhile in Colombo a dubious group of individuals seemed to be calling the shots, overwhelming the many decent individuals (such as the head of WUSC) who were simply trying to help. The most notorious of the characters out of what seemed le Carre central casting was the head of Solidar, which it transpired was the chosen agency of the European Union in its Julian Wilson days. But the petition, though it was indeed submitted, as Radhika Coomaraswamy confirmed when we met in Geneva, was not taken seriously by the UN. And so, as government stayed firm, and the full enormity of Tiger terrorism became clear, many of these shadowy characters faded away, from Sri Lanka and from clandestine interference.
Sadly, though, the shadows seemed to spring to life again towards the end of last year, with carefully chosen barbs against the government and the many agencies, including UNHCR, that were trying to restore normalcy to the North, and indeed the country as a whole. Some seemed to think the Fonseka candidacy has undermined the government to the point at which the intrigues of the past could be revived (unless indeed, as is sometimes alleged, that candidacy was promoted by those who resented an assertion of national sovereignty that has cut deeply into their profits and their pleasures).
So we had sneaky interviews challenging the resettlement process, for instance by someone identified as the Country Head of Oxfam, we had allegations that the mining process was inadequate, and we had efforts to activate the Security Council through allegations about abuse of children during the struggle. None of these amounted to much, and government continued to work swiftly in terms of the plans it formulated six months ago. We made it clear that we would expedite resettlement when residential areas had been demined, when basic infrastructure had begun to be put in place and when we were satisfied as to security considerations. Now that we are moving, those genuinely concerned with the welfare of our citizens, as we are, have agreed that the process is heartening.
So, though the barking will continue as the caravan moves on, one would have thought that there was little reason to worry. However the presence of Peter Bowling in Zurich, brought there by those willing to spend vast amounts of money on what should have been a discussion to promote democratic debate in a united Sri Lanka, made me worry. I still believe that the majority of those who promoted the debate were positive in their approach. But the agendas of idealists are very easily hijacked by those with more sinister motives. I would like to think that Peter Bowling has reformed but, in the light too of the other developments noted, I think Sri Lanka needs to continue vigilant about the company he keeps and the possible impact of such interventions. Particularly now, when all Tamil parties have reason to work together with government to ensure permanent peace, we need to ensure that international influences, Sri Lankan or otherwise, do not disrupt things by bringing their own parochial agendas to bear.

Many years ago, during Advanced Waterjet Cutting's infancy, we were awarded a long-term contract to cut near net shape parts from 1 ¼" to 1 ¾" thick titanium bars. The original method for making this part was to machine a titanium bar into shape that is only a fraction the size of the original bar. With the waterjet cutting process, we are able to cut TWO near net shape parts from the same titanium bar that previously yielded only one part. And, the two waterjet cut blanks required far less machining to complete. Hence, Advanced Waterjet yields twice as many parts from the same material and saves nearly 70% of the original CNC machine time.

many years ago, during advanced waterjet cutting's infancy, we were awarded a long-term contract to cut near net shape parts from 1 ¼" to 1 ¾" thick titanium bars. the original method for making this part was to machine a titanium bar into shape that is only a fraction the size of the original bar. with the waterjet cutting process, we are able to cut two near net shape parts from the same titanium bar that previously yielded only one part. and, the two waterjet cut blanks required far less machining to complete. hence, advanced waterjet yields twice as many parts from the same material and saves nearly 70% of the original cnc machine time. we cut thousands of those parts, saving the customer tremendous amounts of money - converting cost savings to profits.

How can you tell if your horse loves your touch? Emilie would like to show you how much she likes her massage / brushing. Apologies for the fluctuating picture quality, the lighting wasn’t too great.
Hello. My name is Emilie. I have known this guy for roughly a month. I’ve spent more than half that month in animal hospital after colic surgery. In other words, I’ve been a stressed out little draft horse.
I’m a trusting soul but I still like to be able to see what goes on. So I wear a hairclip when I am being groomed.
Please be careful with my belly near the surgery incision. I trust you, but I’m still going to keep an eye and ear on this.
My mane, on the other hand, you cannot scratch it enough. I love this, I love this so much I am offering scratch-backs to the air.
Yessss. Behind the ears too. Yeeeesss.
I will make all the faces if you promise to never stop.
Er. Right. I like to be groomed in my box without restraints. That way, I can move around and show you where I want you to scratch me.
You are my grooming mate and if you scratch me, I scratch you. I use only my lips but you should probably not let me scratch bare skin anyway.
I give the best back massages in town.
You don’t need to worry that I will squish you or trample you. I am entirely too busy standing still and enjoying this.
That’s it! You all need to get yourself a groom minion like mine. Emilie out.

Scientists say the dramatic increase in flows is likely due to the arrival of younger, hotter magma in the system.
A week after scientists predicted significant shifts in Kīlauea’s eruption style, those changes appear to have begun. The new developments include fresher, hotter magma gushing out of fissures on the southeastern flank of the mountain on Saturday and Sunday.
In another major shift, at least half a dozen explosions of ash and steam have burst from the volcano’s summit since Wednesday, with one blast sending ash plumes higher than 9 kilometers. Although Kīlauea is known as an effusive volcano, producing runny lava that fountains up from vents or oozes out of fissures, it does have a history of explosive activity, last observed in 1924, according to scientists with USGS’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO).
Satellite observations after the first round of explosions showed that the summit’s crater vent had nearly tripled the size of its opening from about 5 to almost 14 hectares. In addition, an indentation of about 6 hectares had developed on the east rim of the crater, reflecting a slumping of the rim toward the growing pit.
These shifts in Kīlauea’s eruptive behavior are taking place at two widely separated sites that are linked to the same internal volcanic processes, the scientists explained. Kīlauea’s summit lies more than 30 kilometers from the lower east rift zone, where lava emerging from the ground since the first week of May has destroyed some 40 structures and forced the evacuation of more than 1,000 people.
Scientists suspect that outflows of lava from fissures in the rift zone helped cause magma levels to drop in the vent in Halema‘uma‘u Crater at the volcano’s summit. As the magma level descended beneath the water table, water infiltrated into the vent, where it was vaporized, explained Steve Brantley, deputy scientist-in-charge of HVO. When rocks plugged the vent, the steam built up pressure until it was released in powerful blasts.
Since the lava lake at the summit began to drain on 2 May, coinciding with subsidence of the summit, indicating that the magma reservoir beneath the volcano was emptying, conditions at Kīlauea have lined up with the pattern of activity that preceded the volcano’s 1924 explosive eruption. “This is following the script we’ve been talking about,” Brantley said late last week.
Scientists discovered early in the nearly 3 weeks since this most recent eruption of Kīlauea began that the lava exuding from the ground in the lower east rift zone was old. It likely was emerging from underground magma-filled fractures, called dikes, where the molten rock had been lingering for decades or even longer. Having cooled with age, the lava emerged viscous and sticky—more sluggish than fresh, fast-flowing lava.
Since that discovery, agency volcanologists suggested that once the old lava was pushed out, a fresher batch could follow. That now appears to be occurring. On Friday, the USGS announced that initial testing of a lava sample collected 1 or 2 days earlier had found that the molten rock was younger and hotter. This fresh Kīlauea lava tends to be runnier, therefore producing more voluminous, faster-moving flows.
Not long after the results of the sample testing were known, fissure activity increased. The volume of exuded lava surged. Four fissures merged into a continuous line of lava spatter and fountaining. Some lava poured downslope, moving as quickly as 300 meters per hour. It formed two fast-moving, channelized lava flows, which joined and separated as they moved toward the ocean, eventually plunging into the water in two locations.
“With the ocean entry, we have a new hazard,” warned USGS scientist Janet Babb. Steam generated when lava enters the ocean creates lava haze, or “laze,” a cloud containing hydrochloric acid gas mixed with volcanic glass particles that can cause skin and eye irritation as well as breathing difficulty. “Given the vigor of ocean entry and wind direction…we estimate the effects could reach as far as 15 miles [24 kilometers] downwind,” Babb said.
Scientists reported another new development in the rift zone Sunday morning: A large hole opened in the ground beneath one of the new lava channels. “The hole opened up [across] the entire width of the channel, and all the lava that was flowing east is pouring down into the hole,” said USGS scientist Wendy Stovall. Scientists still aren’t sure why and how the openings form and where the lava goes, but similar activity was seen in a 2011 Kīlauea eruption. “The lava that poured into the ground never reappeared at the surface,” she said.
The barrage of summit blasts that heralded the beginning of the anticipated but rare explosive phase of this Kīlauea eruption began around 6 p.m. local time on Wednesday. Subsequent explosions rocked the summit again four more times: at just past 4 a.m. Thursday, shortly before midnight Friday, around 4 p.m. Saturday, and around noon Sunday. The explosions generated large plumes of steam and ash, prompting Hawaii County Civil Defense to begin distributing masks on Thursday and to advise residents to stay indoors. Nearby communities reported ashfall.
The largest summit blasts released energy roughly equivalent to that produced by an earthquake of about magnitude 5, according to a preliminary seismic measurement, Babb said. The explosive activity slowed on Sunday in the wake of the last of the blasts before it began increasing again, and USGS scientists cautioned more explosions could occur without warning.
The explosion hazard prompted the staff of HVO, which is perched on Kīlauea’s summit, to relocate last week to a temporary office at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, nearly 50 kilometers away. Still, HVO scientists have been able to detect and monitor the explosions remotely with instruments that remained in place at the summit. “Kīlauea is one of the best-recorded volcanos in the world, so we’re able to see these explosions as they play out in very high-fidelity,” said USGS scientist Wes Thelen.
A smaller explosion last week apparently hurled a rock roughly a half meter long several hundred meters away from Halema‘uma‘u crater, where HVO scientists spotted it prior to their relocation. Brantley said it will likely not be known if the eruptions have produced more “ballistic blocks” until it is safe for scientists to return to the summit.
“At this point, we’re not making plans to run down to the crater floor to measure boulders,” he said.
Correction, 23 May 2018: This updated article no longer states that there were earthquakes as a result of explosions at Kilauea’s summit.

Infinix Note 4 Pro X572 is a premium version of Infinix Note 4 that was launched in Nigeria, the two phones have very similar spec sheet in major aspects but it’s only the Pro version that got the Stylus pen (X-Pen).
Another difference between the duo can be found in the RAM and internal storage aspect where the Note 4 uses a smaller RAM and ROM than its senior counterpart, lets quickly glance through the key specs of the Note 4 Pro.
Infinix Note 4 Pro sports a 5.7-inch display, the device will reportedly feature a bezel-less display, just like what we have seen in recent Samsung phones. Both the Note 4 and Note 4 pro uses the same display resolution which is set at 1920 by 1080 pixels providing us with a full HD screen.
The Note 4 Pro is powered by a MediaTek MT6753 chipset, an Octa-core processor which has a speed of 1.3GHz, 3GB RAM combined with 32GB worth of internal storage space, you would expect the Note 4 to deliver nothing but good gaming experience and a decent performance for heavy users.
Android 7.0 (Nougat) is pre-installed out of the box with handful of interesting features that the XOS has to offer. You should expect nothing but a sleek and improved user interface, the Note 4 pro will certainly be getting regular OS update from its manufacturer on the long run.
The device hosts a 13MP back camera with dual LED flash while on the front, you have 8MP camera. This is just the same as what was offered in the Note 3 and Note 4.
Infinix Note 4 Pro is houses a slightly bigger 4300 mAh battery in the powerhouse, the device is claimed to withstand longer usage than its predecessor (Note 3 also came with 4500 mAh) and can charge up to 45% in 30 minutes, thanks to a new feature in the device called XCharge.
With the help of XPower feature, the Infinix Note 4 Pro can reach a standby time of 2 days for normal usage and 1.5 days for heavy usage. The new Note is also claimed to give you two hours of phone call or six hours of offline music listening with just 5 minutes charge.
Price of the Infinix Note 4 Pro device will definitely vary with country and demand, the price is expected to start from about USD170 which shakes off about N65,000 to N75,000 in the Nigerian currency and about KSH15,000 to KSH16,000 in Kenyan shillings.
Infinix Note 4 Pro price in Pakistan, Ghana, Cameroon, Egypt and other countries will be confirmed when the device is subsequently available in these region.
Infinix Note 4 Pro is really outstanding in both design, battery and feature aspects, talk of the sleek and brilliant body build, the X-pen and the sufficient 4,500 mAh battery. Though the processor and system on chip (SoC) is bit below what we expected to see, the device is a good value for its money.
You would definitely want to consider going for the basic variant which is the Infinix Note 4 if you feel the Note 4 Pro is a bit over priced.
Also considering affordable phones with large displays, Infinix Note 3 Pro is another phone to consider. It offer a good display quality, big RAM and ROM and big battery as well.
InnJoo Max 4 Pro should also be consider if big battery, bigger RAM and bigger internal storage space are the major things you look out for in a smartphone.
please my note4pro is having screen problem and it affecting the touch pad I need to order for a new screen will it include the touch pad and where best can I order it from thanks for your help.
1) poor widget loading times.
2) inconsistent display support for widgets.
3) Occasionally refuses to respond after taping an app icon.
3) irritating knack of disconnecting from the SD card, or denying access to it.
4) plays customized ring tones for only 4-5 seconds (my Samsung J7 pro does it longer – sometimes too long).
6) terribly unimpressive cameras & speakers.
I’ve used the INFINIX NOTE 5 for exactly 1 week & 2 days now…….I bought this phone as a backup mainly because I had 2 spare SIM cards that I wished to activate to diversify my access to network.
1) As a phone for calls – no problem so far (Using airtel & 9mobile).
2) Browsing works fine (on 4G too) so far (using 9mobile data – SIM slot 2).
3) Receiving mails via my email app (Aqua mail) – no problem so far.
4) WiFi/ Hotspot? All good so far.
5) No Infinix device overheating, thank God.
6) No Infinix device freezing/ lagging/ sudden reboot…….Yet.
7) Battery – VERY GOOD. Carries me a whole day at heavy use. Charges fast – even with (good) non-native chargers.
PLS NOTE: I don’t do mobile gaming so can’t comment on the phone’s performance there.
1) Bluetooth use has an occasional tendency to make your mounted SD card instantly unavailable to the phone for awhile; you have to physically remove & reinsert the SD card several times + reboot the phone after using the bluetooth till it becomes active on the phone again. Tried the SD card in other phones/devices (in case it was an SD card issue) and it worked fine with other phones/ devices.
2) Icons for apps installed inexplicably disappear from the phone’s “desktop”. Its worse, after updating apps from Google Play store.
3) SMS sending? Not a problem so far. Receiving? ONLY if the message/ SMS app is up & running in the background – you’ll only know you’ve got text if it’s on. Tried several other SMS apps from the store to see if there would be a desired change. Nope.
4) You cannot customize ringtones for the native SMS app (messages) that came with the phone OS. Wasted time in settings > notification looking for the option to.
5) Still does not maintain stability of “desktop” widgets (even after fully updating the phone). You have to remove the widget from the “desktop” & put it back on the “desktop” where it works/ shows properly for only a while (and do it again, & again, & again, & again……….).
6) Fingerprint unlock? I don’t bother with that anymore. Rarely responds. And responds slowly. I had to go back to Screen unlock and had to use Pattern unlock (faster!) because using the other options (either Passcode or PIN) you are prone to making errors if entering your secret code rapidly; you have to enter the code REAL SLOW or you get error and the phone will not grant access. NO RAPID code entering allowed.
The Infinix NOTE 3 (last Infinix Phone I used) was way way more responsive at fingerprint unlock – though the phone had long term Zero performance issues in just about anything else.
7) Not impressed with the camera quality (though its not the reason why I bought it – never is for Infinix devices I buy), selfie or back-camera. The Google Lens thing? Hmm..not wowing me yet either.
8) The Gel back cover that comes with the phone is a joke. Buy a proper, THICK flip cover case (couldn’t find good ones in the market) before the phone (piece of near-glass) drops on you. I’ve been lucky after a few drops & so carefully conscious while holding the device – you should be careful but not at this over-the-top caution I’ve had to be, especially while in my pocket.
The stuff I’ve detailed above may not matter in the long run to some wanting to buy the phone and that’s very OK. What should be important to you is whether you can work with the phone’s limitations or not, which in turn will help support your decision to purchase or not.
My own impression FOR NOW is that the phone performs well for calls, browsing and some wireless.
These issues might be related to some peculiarities of the ANDROID ONE OS, and this is my very first exposure to Android One.
Good morning, am considering buying Note 5 stylus, but it does not have swag like the Note 4 pro. I am considering going for Hot S3X. Help me out please.
I bought my infinix note 4 pro X571, very nice phone but can you please help me how to work my x-pen, its not working.
I got a note 4 about 2 weeks ago but its keeps making a weird noise/sound like a faulty transmission or something , it is sooo irritating and loud how can i get ride of it.
By screen munching, I assume you’re talking about screenshot and in that case, yes. It does.
Want to buy things from julia, cant seem to get throgh.I leave in warri .can I get a number to call or an office for help?
Does using the note 4 pro hope the back isn’t scratching???
I’m currently wanting to buy an Infinix note 4 Pro from your Business.
I’m in Liberia, my concerns: how do I do payment to receive it?
How much is the cost currently?
Hello Diamond, thanks for stopping by. We currently do not sell phones through our resources. You can check some reputable online stores or offline phone vendors in your area for device.
I noticed front camera of infinix note 4 pro is just wack, no matter the illumination it blurry, please do it have something to do with the settings.
I just bought my Infinix Note 4 Pro but i am having some problems with it. I can clearly hear incoming calls and can talk clearly but when i make a call, the call party won’t hear me and i also will not hear the person. Pleas advise urgently. Thanks very much in advance.
Pls. I just got infinix note 4 pro but I find it difficult to open where to insert my Sim card . I need ur assistance on how to open it.
Pls. I just got infinix note 4 pro but I find it difficult to open where to insert my Sim card . how can I go about it?
I used to use infinix note 3, but it was stolen, I tried getting another one but it is out of the market, and I have fallen in love wit the phone, please guys what do I do now?
I want to sell mine if you’re interested….
See I’ve got a major, MAJOR beef with Infinix devices – after buying and using the phones for about 5-7-9 months (sometimes even less), they begin lag in performance (freeze, LAGS, occasional reboots, ignore simple executions, overheat, crash, etc) & I just want to bash HARD the life out of the phone. Grrrrr..
Currently I’m using the Infinix Note 3 but I’m about to toss that (far away from me!) & get another Infinix phone. Probably my last as I’m starting a family soon.
NOW, I’ve been interested in either the Infinix Zero 5 Pro (or the Infinix Note 4 Pro). Either will be my 11th Infinix device so would really appreciate counsel on which phone to pick up – and hopefully break my run of bad luck with the Infinix brand.
I’ve done my research & looked (endlessly!) at each device spec-wise but my main gripe is performance longevity of the phones.
Kindly soliciting your advice to make an informed decision – which do I pick? First impressions/ surface pros & cons for each phone I already know but I’m still in the deep-dark on long term performance prospects of each. And as we know money to support this isn’t easy to come by.
Cheers & thanks in advance.
Hello, Infinix Zero 5 is the best phone from Infinix at the moment. The phone is built good quality but inside and outside, there haven’t been any complaints about so far which means it’s performing well.
Not the Infinix Zero 5 PRO?? .
Infinix Zero 5 and Zero 5 Pro have basically the same specs, the only difference is storage capacity; the Zero 5 has 64GB ROM while the Zero 5 Pro comes with 128GB ROM.
I’d read that they do not.
The two smartphones support 4G network, they will work well with any line that provides 4G network in your area.
A friend warmed me not buy the model note 4 pro, bcoz the battery and charging system is not good enough, is there any improvement on this?
All these complaints! Hmmmm! I bought my note 4 pro since October, no problems at all. Honestly, m enjoying it. Someone said d camera is whack. The truth is d camera is better than many Samsung phones. When I was passing out (NYSC), my phone was d celeb dat day. Everyone wanted to use my camera. Dey snap with my phone n collect d pictures through Xender. When I did my induction, everyone snapped with my phone to collect through xender. The phone is superb.
People refer to my phone as machine (no joke).
It still does d x-charge. D pen is Wat m not a fan of. Doesn’t really interestel me. Thank God dey phone can be used without the pen.
And please, if u buying a phone,make sure to buy d original. Go to an Infinix outlet.
If u are having problems with yours, please take it to an Infinix shop as long as u bought it from them.
There r many fake phones out there.
Is it working with screen mirroring to connect with webOS smart tv?
The Hotspour cannot be connected to my laptop. When I plug my phone to my laptop you can’t find the phone on the laptop.
Pls isn’t warranty supposed to cover damages by water?
hope the infinix note 4 pro iz working wel nw coz i’ve heard much complain bout the version nd i intend getn 1 soon.
Pls when will u lunch infinix zero edge?
and how can I spot a fake one?
I want to buy the infinix note 4 pro next but the comments I’m getting here is really discouraging. Does the phone really worth the price or should I just go for another phone? I need suggestions please.
AdaObi Good morning, I can see that u are really bitter about this Infinix Note 4 Pro. Can u please give me more reviews on the problems and shortcoming u encountered while using it because I intend getting mine next week.
Hi, am interested in getting the note 4 pro so how can i tell which one is imitation or original?
Niyi is correct. There’s Note 4 with 3gb and 32gb ROM there are three variants of note 4 but that variant is as scarce as gold.
I have infinix note 3 which I bought last year November 2016. Can I change it to infinix note 4 and possibly add some money?
please can you kindly enlighten us on how to identify an imitation….
l see people complained about the xpen. l want to know, can’t the phone work without the Xpen.
Same use as the stylus in the Samsung NOTE series.
Egbon easy. With great specification comes great money, and if we dont have the money for “iPhone” as you suggested, should we wither and die? We r here for “feedback” and not castigation. If the phone didnt work for u, please say so, and why it didnt, and leave it at that.
No problem, that’s what I got. U can google infinix note4 launched in india.
D battery is 4300mah. I could remember infinix has done something lyk dat b4. The price is a bit higher than the normal note4 with 2gb ram. Perhaps, u confirm from the store.
I bought same last week but it didn’t come with pen.
That should be Infinix Note 4 Pro you got… are you sure the battery is 4,300 or 4,500 ?
I read something like that. It seems there are three variants of infinix note 4. There is one some retailers refers to as infinix note 4 High, it shares everything with the note 4 pro except the x-pen, and perhaps with 4300mah battery as opposed to 4500mah on the pr.
Does infinix note4 get 3gb ram and 32gb rom version? Coz mine is like that its nt pro.
Am really impressed with the phone Infinix note 4 pro and am preparing to go and buy my own. but please hope the phone will not be hanging if someone is using it.
If the xpen goes down battrey wise, how can one charge it assuming it has battrey . Henry pls educate me.
You charge it by inserting it into the smart cover together with the Infinix Note 4 Pro at the same time. It draws power form the Note 4 Pro.
I just bought it yesterday, but pls no xpen inside so what can I do now.
Hello, You can simply meet with the retailer you bought it from and have it sorted out.
PLEASE WHERE CAN I GET INFINIX NOTE 4 PRO IN NIGERIA ?
Hi CJ, the phone is available on Jumia.
Pls some said the battery is 4500,while some said is 4300, pls which one r we believing?
Hello Silver, the infinix note 4 pro has been confirmed to have 4500 mAh battery and NOT 4300. Thanks for stopping by.
Please Henry is it possible and reasonable for me to swap Apple iPad 3 with infinix note 4 pro..
so it’s available already… how much?
please am also having issue making choice between the two. which one did you end up going for?
Sure the Infinix Note 4 pro is really an impressive phone.
Is it possible for me to swap my infinix X551 HOT NOTE with infinix HOT NOTE 4 PRO X571.How much am I going to put on top?
That might be possible Osoyemi. The guys at Gonaiij mall offer swapping service for Infinix phones. You can find out more details about that here. You can call them on the contact provided there to see what they have to say concerning swapping Infinix Hot Note for an Infinix Note 4 Pro.
where is the gonaij mall and l need their mobile contact.l am interested in phone swap.thanks.

lowercased:
infinix note 4 pro x572 is a premium version of infinix note 4 that was launched in nigeria, the two phones have very similar spec sheet in major aspects but it’s only the pro version that got the stylus pen (x-pen).
another difference between the duo can be found in the ram and internal storage aspect where the note 4 uses a smaller ram and rom than its senior counterpart, lets quickly glance through the key specs of the note 4 pro.
infinix note 4 pro sports a 5.7-inch display, the device will reportedly feature a bezel-less display, just like what we have seen in recent samsung phones. both the note 4 and note 4 pro uses the same display resolution which is set at 1920 by 1080 pixels providing us with a full hd screen.
the note 4 pro is powered by a mediatek mt6753 chipset, an octa-core processor which has a speed of 1.3ghz, 3gb ram combined with 32gb worth of internal storage space, you would expect the note 4 to deliver nothing but good gaming experience and a decent performance for heavy users.
android 7.0 (nougat) is pre-installed out of the box with handful of interesting features that the xos has to offer. you should expect nothing but a sleek and improved user interface, the note 4 pro will certainly be getting regular os update from its manufacturer on the long run.
the device hosts a 13mp back camera with dual led flash while on the front, you have 8mp camera. this is just the same as what was offered in the note 3 and note 4.
infinix note 4 pro is houses a slightly bigger 4300 mah battery in the powerhouse, the device is claimed to withstand longer usage than its predecessor (note 3 also came with 4500 mah) and can charge up to 45% in 30 minutes, thanks to a new feature in the device called xcharge.
with the help of xpower feature, the infinix note 4 pro can reach a standby time of 2 days for normal usage and 1.5 days for heavy usage. the new note is also claimed to give you two hours of phone call or six hours of offline music listening with just 5 minutes charge.
price of the infinix note 4 pro device will definitely vary with country and demand, the price is expected to start from about usd170 which shakes off about n65,000 to n75,000 in the nigerian currency and about ksh15,000 to ksh16,000 in kenyan shillings.
infinix note 4 pro price in pakistan, ghana, cameroon, egypt and other countries will be confirmed when the device is subsequently available in these region.
infinix note 4 pro is really outstanding in both design, battery and feature aspects, talk of the sleek and brilliant body build, the x-pen and the sufficient 4,500 mah battery. though the processor and system on chip (soc) is bit below what we expected to see, the device is a good value for its money.
you would definitely want to consider going for the basic variant which is the infinix note 4 if you feel the note 4 pro is a bit over priced.
also considering affordable phones with large displays, infinix note 3 pro is another phone to consider. it offer a good display quality, big ram and rom and big battery as well.
innjoo max 4 pro should also be consider if big battery, bigger ram and bigger internal storage space are the major things you look out for in a smartphone.
please my note4pro is having screen problem and it affecting the touch pad i need to order for a new screen will it include the touch pad and where best can i order it from thanks for your help.
1) poor widget loading times.
2) inconsistent display support for widgets.
3) occasionally refuses to respond after taping an app icon.
3) irritating knack of disconnecting from the sd card, or denying access to it.
4) plays customized ring tones for only 4-5 seconds (my samsung j7 pro does it longer – sometimes too long).
6) terribly unimpressive cameras & speakers.
i’ve used the infinix note 5 for exactly 1 week & 2 days now…….i bought this phone as a backup mainly because i had 2 spare sim cards that i wished to activate to diversify my access to network.
1) as a phone for calls – no problem so far (using airtel & 9mobile).
2) browsing works fine (on 4g too) so far (using 9mobile data – sim slot 2).
3) receiving mails via my email app (aqua mail) – no problem so far.
4) wifi/ hotspot? all good so far.
5) no infinix device overheating, thank god.
6) no infinix device freezing/ lagging/ sudden reboot…….yet.
7) battery – very good. carries me a whole day at heavy use. charges fast – even with (good) non-native chargers.
pls note: i don’t do mobile gaming so can’t comment on the phone’s performance there.
1) bluetooth use has an occasional tendency to make your mounted sd card instantly unavailable to the phone for awhile; you have to physically remove & reinsert the sd card several times + reboot the phone after using the bluetooth till it becomes active on the phone again. tried the sd card in other phones/devices (in case it was an sd card issue) and it worked fine with other phones/ devices.
2) icons for apps installed inexplicably disappear from the phone’s “desktop”. its worse, after updating apps from google play store.
3) sms sending? not a problem so far. receiving? only if the message/ sms app is up & running in the background – you’ll only know you’ve got text if it’s on. tried several other sms apps from the store to see if there would be a desired change. nope.
4) you cannot customize ringtones for the native sms app (messages) that came with the phone os. wasted time in settings > notification looking for the option to.
5) still does not maintain stability of “desktop” widgets (even after fully updating the phone). you have to remove the widget from the “desktop” & put it back on the “desktop” where it works/ shows properly for only a while (and do it again, & again, & again, & again……….).
6) fingerprint unlock? i don’t bother with that anymore. rarely responds. and responds slowly. i had to go back to screen unlock and had to use pattern unlock (faster!) because using the other options (either passcode or pin) you are prone to making errors if entering your secret code rapidly; you have to enter the code real slow or you get error and the phone will not grant access. no rapid code entering allowed.
the infinix note 3 (last infinix phone i used) was way way more responsive at fingerprint unlock – though the phone had long term zero performance issues in just about anything else.
7) not impressed with the camera quality (though its not the reason why i bought it – never is for infinix devices i buy), selfie or back-camera. the google lens thing? hmm..not wowing me yet either.
8) the gel back cover that comes with the phone is a joke. buy a proper, thick flip cover case (couldn’t find good ones in the market) before the phone (piece of near-glass) drops on you. i’ve been lucky after a few drops & so carefully conscious while holding the device – you should be careful but not at this over-the-top caution i’ve had to be, especially while in my pocket.
the stuff i’ve detailed above may not matter in the long run to some wanting to buy the phone and that’s very ok. what should be important to you is whether you can work with the phone’s limitations or not, which in turn will help support your decision to purchase or not.
my own impression for now is that the phone performs well for calls, browsing and some wireless.
these issues might be related to some peculiarities of the android one os, and this is my very first exposure to android one.
good morning, am considering buying note 5 stylus, but it does not have swag like the note 4 pro. i am considering going for hot s3x. help me out please.
i bought my infinix note 4 pro x571, very nice phone but can you please help me how to work my x-pen, its not working.
