The Infocus Bingo 50 is the first smartphone launched in the Indian markets that is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow with 3GB RAM for a price tag of ₹7,499. This is a dual SIM handset with 4G LTE support.
Bingo 50 Unboxing
The box pack is pretty compact and inside you will find the handset, data cable, travel charger 5V/1A, user guide, warranty card and standard quality earphone. SAR Value : 0.653W/Kg head and 0.961W/Kg body.
Design
The Bingo 50 is upgraded version of Infocus M350. Design is exactly the same, good build quality and finishing, plastic body with curvy body that gets extremely slimmer towards the edges. Even the handset width is less and that helps get a much better and comfortable grip. Handset comes with Sandstone Gray and Leather Black panel options.
Weight with built in battery of 2500 mAh capacity is 150 grams and dimensions are 76.03 x 149.97 x 8.49 (mm). Power button is on the right, volume rocker on the left, audio jack on the top and micro USB port at the bottom. There are dual mics for noise cancellation.
This is a dual SIM handset – there are 2x micro SIM slots both support 4G and enhanced 4G LTE mode. There is a separate micro SD card slot that can house external card of up to 64GB.
There is LED notifications and following sensors – accelerometer, light and proximity.
Display
Bingo 50 sports a 5 inch screen with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution. There are no dedicated buttons and hence some area will be used by the onscreen buttons. Colour reproduction, viewing angles and touch responses are very good.
Memory, Storage and OS
This handset is packed with 3GB RAM you will get around 1.6GB free on first boot and average 1.2GB with normal usage. Of the 16GB internal storage space you will get around 10GB free space. OTG is supported. Apps are getting installed on internal storage.
Infocus Bingo 50 is running InLife UI over Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Performance
It is powered by MediaTek MT6735 64 bit quad core processor @ 1.3GHz coupled with Mali T720 GPU. Performance was smooth and lag free. Battery temp was well under control. Max temperature I encountered was 41 degrees when playing games.
Bingo 50 Benchmark
- Quadrant – 9744.
- Antutu (64 bit) – 1st time 30978, 2nd time 32157.
- Nenamark 2 – 60.5fps
- Internal storage Speed – Read (70MB/s), Write (41MB/s)
- Multi Touch – 5 Point.
Gaming
I tried Asphalt 8 in high visual quality mode. The game got installed on internal storage and very much playable in high quality mode. But I found the car control better in medium quality mode.
The gaming sound, not sure why, was quite low.
Camera
There is a 8MP AF camera on the back with LED flash support and an 8MP camera (auto focus) on the front too without flash. Camera quality is above average. Rear camera can shoot FHD videos. I did find some issues with orientation, when using handset / camera app in landscape mode the buttons / icons were still in portrait mode. Probably some software glitch. Also when recording FHD videos only one mic was functional even though there are 2 mics.

Others
Sound was loud and clear. I did not find any issues with in-call sound / network quality. No issues with 4G, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth.
Battery
There is a non-removable battery of 2500 mAh capacity; you will get around 4 to 6 hours of battery backup with continuous moderate to heavy usage.
Battery Performance
- Running Benchmark app – 19 minutes / battery % dropped by 5 / battery temp = 37 degrees.
- Played Asphalt 8 – for 22 minutes / battery dropped by 8% / battery temp = 41 degrees.
- FHD video playback with full brightness (WiFi /4G on) – for 39 minutes / battery dropped by 12% / battery temp was 38 degrees.
- Handset charging (wall charge) – 1 hour 11 minutes from 54% to 100% – estimated 2 hours 30 minutes for 0% to 100% charging.
Verdict
Bingo 50 looks like the Infocus M350 and is loaded with some really cool features like 3GB RAM and more importantly the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. For the price of ₹7,499 it is a good buy but would have been better if fingerprint sensor were included as that has become the latest trend.
Infocus Bingo 50 is priced at ₹7,499.

I am using this phone and in my phone the camera menu is showing in portrait as well as landscape mode also. It is a good phone except back-cover takes some effort to open.
Hi sir, Is flip cover available for bingo 50 in any online site? Has bingo 50 gorilla glass or scratch resistant display ? can we uninstall preinstalled software’s in bingo 50?
Is there compass (magnetic) and gyroscope ??

KINDLY TEST…SO THAT I WILL MAKE A 4 hour OF JOURNEY TO THE SERVICE CENTER….
PLEASE VERY IMPORTANT ,DON’T IGNORE
Did you make that 4 hour journey?
Hi Gogi
Could you include the camera still taking a newspaper image, which gives an idea of the phone auto focus and could you also provide camera rating in your reviews.
And which phone is best considering Camera and overall performance
1. ASUS Laser 2 3GB RAM
2. Redmi Note 3
Thanks
VJ
Gogi,
Does It supports HDMI ?
I’m using infocus 350, its touch is super smooth even better than Samsung phones, nice build quality and good camera, never lagged.
With a little market research on the kind of handsets available in this price range, you could have launched a better handset.
M350 has more sensor than bingo like magnetic gyro gogi?
Everything is good except no option for phone to sd move.
सबसे जयादा घटिया design वाला फोन । इस फोन मे सिर्फ 3gb ram ओर dual sim with 64 gb expendable memory का option ही बढिया है बाकी सब कुछ normal है। Design के मामले मे अभी infocus को काफी कुछ सीखना होगा ।
Reviewed Very quickly gogi? Is is good over coolpad note 3 lite?
Phone dimensions are like 5.5 inch display screen. I think people really manage 5.5 inch screen mobile instead of this 5 inch mobile, infocus more concentrate on built in dimensions.
This phone is going to lag even with 3GB RAM in future due to low internal memory speeds
Coolpad note 3 Lite is a much better option than this one and also it is 500 INR cheaper than this Bingo 50.
Infocus camera is I guess better than coolpad
Hey gogi just registered and am very happy, thanks alot.
Hi Gogi , thanks for the fast review! It has HDR? and would you recommend this one over asus laser?
Well laser is still the best.
Is there option to move the installed apps on external storage??
There is no move to SD option.
So according to u gogi which is better for camera and high end game, infocus 350 now in 6999 or bingo 50 i.e 7499 What about sound quality in headphone compare to infocus 350..
Better go for bingo 50, with Marshmallow. Sound quality is the same, but when playing Asphalt 8 sound was quite low.
Whether Portrait to landscape mode changing problem can be solved by the OTA update????????
That was fassst ! Great review,gogi-san.
