Multimedia

Having the speaker placement at the back with the phone resting on the speaker the Infinix Note 2 X600 is not a perfect choice for entertainment.

Music is the combination of sounds. Tecno tried to combine music plus imaging in one phone. Placing the speakers at the bottom edge of the phone with the charging port separating the speakers.
