Infinix has a trio of the new handset for the Filipino consumers. We already review the Note 3 Pro and Hot 4. This time around, we’re looking at the Hot S Pro. It’s a sub-Php7k smartphone with a display, LTE, and an octa-core chipset. It also boasts an aluminum back panel for added premium. Here’s our review. Design and ConstructionDisplay and MultimediaOS, Apps, and UICameraPerformance and BenchmarksCall Quality and ConnectivityBattery LifeConclusion Design and Construction The Hot S Pro has a no-frill design with its candy-bar angular chassis. It’s got a HD display resulting to a 282ppi pixel density. It may not break the 300ppi barrier but the smaller display size is a great option in the sea of large smartphones. Above the panel is a prominent 8-megapixel front-facing shooter and its earpiece along with hidden sensors. It uses three capacitive keys below for phone navigation and right side of the phone houses the volume rocker and the power/lock button while the left has the hybrid card tray. It allows you to have two SIM cards at the same time or opt the second slot for a microSD card for more storage top side has the headphone jack leaving the micro-USB to be located at the bottom flanked by grilled holes for the loudspeaker and back of the phone has a subtle class when we first saw it. It’s a generic-looking rear panel but the curved edges have a certain appeal to our eyes. Like most phone nowadays, the rear is made of aluminum with plastic divisions on top and bottom. The rear camera is a 13MP sensor with phase-detection autofocus and has a dual-LED flash to help in low-light scenarios. A circular fingerprint sensor is also present for added security to the we’re pretty impressed about the appeal of the Hot S. Although, we hoped that Infinix also graced it with a metal frame to add more premium to its construction and maybe consider a different set of icons for the navigation keys, something that compliments the style of the and Multimedia The display of the handset measures inches diagonally. Making it one of the few phones that can be comfortably used with one hand. It’s got a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels or roughly 282ppi. It’s reasonably sharp with pleasing color reproduction and wide viewing speaker positioned at the bottom end of the phone is just mono but its volume is adequate to fill a small room. It’s clear and loud for YouTube playback or long Spotify Apps, and UI The Hot S Pro ships with Android Marshmallow but it’s heavily skinned by Infinix with the XOS Chameleon Before you get discouraged by having a skin on top, we’re happy to see the phone performs smoothly throughout the system. The phone has swift animations and added UI elements to liven it up. To be honest, it’s refreshing to the eyes rather than uninspired stock Android by other other Chinese phone skins, XOS keeps the app drawer available. Apps are listed alphabetically for easy search. There are a number of home-baked utility apps pre-loaded on the phone and all of them are called X — XCloud, XHide, XManager, XPower, etc. We guess if “i” is to Apple, “X” is to Infinix?The operating system takes about 6GB of the precious 16GB internal storage. Good thing you can pop in a microSD card if you want more space for your apps and The handset sports a 13-megapixel autofocus rear and an 8-megapixel front-facing cameras. Infinix boasts a home-baked camera launcher rather than stock. It’s generally friendly and offers different shooting modes including manual shooters capture quality images. The rear camera performs great when there’s a lot of light available. Shooting in low-light drastically degrades the image quality so it’s best to have a strong source of light or use the dual-LED flash. The front-facing camera, on the other hand, captures detailed selfies and also works in the dark thanks to its dedicated front LED flash. Here are some samples As for the video, it can capture 1080p in .mp4 or .3gp format. The captured clip looks great when previewed on the device but when transferred to the PC, the video lacks details to reasonably qualify as a quality Full HD video. Here’s a sample You can also turn on the stabilization feature for video but it doesn’t help much when walking but reduces the shakes when and Benchmarks The chipset on the Hot S Pro is not the latest but it’s one of the most common and tested silicon on similarly priced handsets. The octa-core MediaTek MT6753 is still a favored chipset but it’s already getting old. The Mali-T720 MP3 GPU can take a beating with new games on the Play Store and the paired 3GB RAM will suffice for multi-tasking open fast but loading of intensive titles takes a bit of time. Nothing serious though as everything is perfectly fine for its range. The light UI also helps with swift animations and transitions. So far, we’d recommend it for those who do stuff on their phone really quick. We ran our usual benchmark tests but Quadrant Standard gave an odd are the benchmark scores AnTuTu Benchmark — 34463 PCMark — 3493 Work 1960 Storage Vellamo — 2381 Chrome, 930 Metal, 1372 Multicore Quadrant Standard — 2976 Score is too low 3DMark — 199 SlingShot ES 299 SlingShot ES Call Quality and Connectivity One of the overlooked aspects when it comes to prime budget devices is call quality and wireless connection. Some OEMs just don’t pay attention to make calling good on a phone. We’re pleased that we managed to make decent calls after using the Hot S as a daily driver. Although, it could benefit more with a louder for wireless connectivity options, the handset offers fast LTE, Bluetooth and stable Wi-Fi. The lack of 700MHZ or Band 28 support For the Southeast Asian version is a bit of a let down though as we are already seeing it on a number of new devices from local Life A 3000mAh non-removable battery powers the handset. It’s a respectable capacity for its size but hoped Infinix pushed for more. With the PCMark battery test Work it was able to score 7 hours and 49 mins. A video loop test gave it a similar 7 hours and 42 minutes. Those numbers are average but you might want to keep a charger or a power bank with the supplied 5V 2A charger, you can fuel the phone to 24% in 30 mins and 100% in about 2 In the end of the day, the Infinix Hot S Pro is going to be a smartphone one would appreciate thanks to its refreshing UI and balanced performance. It’s also pocketable than most smartphones today due to its smaller than usual just Php6,990, the Hot S makes itself an easy choice for budget consumers who wants a better performing smartphone for everyday use.

The results of back camera are exceptional and very detailed images. Brightness and intake of images are very well in low light as well as in bright light also. Saturation of images are very well-balanced moreover we have observed very less noise in images until and unless you don’t zoom in the picture too much. We took some images from back camera of Infinix Hot S Pro let’s have a look at them. Front Camera of Infinix Hot S Pro The Front Camera of Infinix Hot S Pro has 8MP lens with flash light.

It has charger with it which will charge the device in almost 2 hours. It has octa core processor so it will give the best possible time to videos and applications. Excessive use of mobile data like 3G/4G drain the battery quickly. Interface of Infinix Hot S Pro Infinix Hot S Pro is featured with latest android version Marshmallow with the interface of XOS chameleon version XOS interface collaboration with infinix device is not a new thing because all the infinx smart phones have used this interface. The colors are sharp and bright which leaves a very good impact. Icon styles are different as compare to other android smart phones. Let’s start with its main screen which is quiet simple and empty. It has applications that are arranged in rows and columns. Google search bar has marked itself at the top side while date and time widget are available on previous screen. Main screen has slider one has date and time widget other one is simple only loaded with applications. Application manager has application that are loaded in the form of alphabetical order.

Cameras are 13MP and 8MP while octa-core processor is enabled in it. Those infinix users who are thinking to upgrade their devices from Infinix Hot S to infinix Hot S Pro, must think of it because both devices don’t have any big difference. New users should go for this device because it has great features in affordable price. [/quote_box_center] Up to 8 gigs of RAM, up to 128GB storage, a 90Hz refresh rate screen, and a 50MP primary camera are some of the specs of Infinix’s new sub-Rs 10,000 smartphone, the Hot 30i. The handset also features an eye-catching design that surpasses even some of the more expensive smartphones. But is the Infinix Hot 30i worth buying based on the specs sheet alone, or is there more to consider? In this review, I’ll attempt to answer that question and more. Keep reading to find the Infinix Hot 30i falls short in some areas like cameras and performance, it excels in the design and display departments. The extra RAM provides seamless switching between the apps to an extent, though that might not be sufficient for heavy multitasking. Worth a look if you’re on the hunt for a stylish phone under Rs lowdownThe Infinix Hot 30i boasts a striking design. I got the Glacier Blue colour variant for review, and it looks appealing with its diamond pattern back panel that subtly shifts colour when light hits it at an angle. The phone also comes in a Mirror Black colourway. Both variants feature rings instead of a dedicated camera housing for the lenses and an LED flash, giving the device a clean and minimalist appearance. Moving on, the Hot 30i has flat edges for a comfortable grip, and sports a USB Type-C port along with a mm headphone jack and speaker grille located at the bottom edge. The handset weighs 191 grams and is just thick, making it easy to hold for long Infinix Hot 30i sports a HD+ display that bears a 90Hz refresh rate and 500 nits brightness. It is an IPS LCD panel with a waterdrop notch atop, thin bezels on the sides, and a thick chin. It is a fairly large screen, and reaching for the corners may require some finger gymnastics. Nevertheless, the display quality is good, and it’s readable even under direct sunlight. Additionally, the colours look vivid, and the viewing angles are satisfactory. The images and text may not look their sharpest due to low resolution, but given the price, it is reasonable to expect some compromises. The handset supports Widevine L3 certification for streaming in SD 480p quality from Netflix and other streaming the hood, the Infinix Hot 30i rocks MediaTek Helio G37 SoC, and I reviewed the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The phone comes with MemFusion technology that adds up to 8GB of virtual RAM using a portion of the device’s storage. This does assist with some multi-tasking as claimed by the company; however, there were a few lags while doing so with a bunch of apps running in the background. The chipset can handle basic smartphone usage like casual browsing, social media activity, and some light gaming. Attempting to run demanding tasks, such as consecutive games, may cause the smartphone to stutter and experience performance Infinix Hot 30i packs a 5,000mAh battery with Power Marathon technology. The latter is said to sustain the power of the smartphone and ensure more than 25 hours of calling and standby time of 30+ days. Considering the phone will not be used for any heavy task, it should comfortably last for a day with some GPS navigation. However, the handset scored 14 hours and 52 minutes in the PC Mark battery test, which is below average for a budget smartphone. The Hot 30i supports 10W charging, which takes over two and a half hours to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100 to the software, the Infinix Hot 30i runs XOS 12 based on 2021’s Android 12 OS out of the box. The UI has some ads and pre-installed apps, but it is quite feature-rich. The phone has peak proof, eye-care, focus mode, and kids mode, among other features. Additionally, users can disable or remove some of the pre-installed apps to further customise their experience. As for security, the Hot 30i ships with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, which can be iffy at times. After successfully registering the fingerprint, the scanner takes a fraction of a second to unlock the device. The bottom-firing mono speaker is average, and just about gets the job terms of optics, the Infinix Hot 30i packs a dual camera setup with 50MP primary sensor and an auxiliary unit. The primary sensor has AI mode that detects the scene and adjusts the photo settings accordingly. For instance, it will automatically add bokeh effects to portrait shots. This is not a camera-focused smartphone, and the images it offers are ordinary in sufficient lighting conditions with HDR. While the details look good, the sharpness goes for a toss, and the colours look unsaturated. The sensor may require manual adjustment to get the focus and exposure level right for more likeable shots at times. The front camera of the Hot 30i is a 5MP unit that delivers some appealing selfies in daylight conditions. However, it tends to smoothen out the details and may not capture accurate skin handset delivers decent portraits when the sun is out. That said, the low-light performance of the Infinix Hot 30i is underwhelming. The images lack details and the colours often appear washed out. There is no dedicated night mode as well to help reduce the noise level. While the company has provided LED lights for both the front and rear cameras, they overexpose the subjects resulting in smoothening of pixels and loss of verdictRs 8,199 is the starting price of the Infinix Hot 30i equipped with 4GB of RAM. The top-end 8GB RAM variant is selling at Rs 9,999. The handset has a lot going for it, but there are a few limitations. The Infinix smartphone is equipped with a slightly underwhelming chipset when compared to other devices in a similar price range, such as the Redmi 12C and POCO C55 review, which offer more powerful SoCs. The Hot 30i also needs improvement in terms of software and camera performance. Be that as it may, the handset is one of the better-looking devices in the budget segment. And if you are in search of a budget phone with a good screen, all-day battery life, and extra RAM, the Infinix Hot 30i could prove to be a decent rating / 5ProsStriking designGood screenDecent battery lifeConsOlder Android versionPre-installed appsCameras could have been betterCompetitors for Infinix Hot 30i Infinix is really out there to impress. Their releases, no matter the price range, offer a set of specs with an appealing value. That’s something we’re seeing on the new Infinix HOT 20S. On paper, this device sure is a stunner. For a price of under Php10,000, it managed to offer a fast and enormous screen, gaming-centric processor, a flashy design, sharp cameras, and large battery. Now the question is, do they really translate into an awesome smartphone experience? We find out in our Infinix HOT 20S review. Android 12, XOS Dual SIM, Dual standby FHD+ IPS display, 2460 x 1080 pixel resolution, 396ppi 120Hz refresh rate MediaTek Helio G96 octa-core processor Mali-G52 GPU 8GB RAM 128GB internal storage, expandable via microSD up to 1TB 8-megapixel front camera, LED flash 50-megapixel f/ + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel rear cameras, quad-LED flash Side-mounted fingerprint scanner Stereo speakers HSPA+, 4G LTE WiFi a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band Bluetooth FM radio GPS, GLONASS USB Type-C Dimensions x x Weight 202g Colors Tempo Blue, Light-Rider White, Fantasy Blue 5,000mAh non-removable battery, 18W fast charging Design and Build Quality Every Infinix phone we’ve seen recently was bang for the buck. Even if it’s a budget device, the company goes out of its way to make sure it looks good. What we have here is the Free Fire edition, although the branding only applies on the interface, not on the device itself. The unit that we have here is the Sonic Black color, which has a shiny glass-like surface that’s made of plastic. It also has a sunray-like pattern that looks more distinct as it reacts to light. The patterns start from the camera area, which has two large circles and a single small one. It’s a similar look to other handsets we’ve seen that no longer have the usual camera island. This model can also be had in Light-Rider White, Fantasy Purple, and Tempo Blue. Select markets will also get the special Neon Edition, which has a color-changing design that reveals the HOT logo as it absorbs light. The Infinix HOT 20s has a boxy design. But unlike the new iPhones and other similarly-looking devices, it has chamfered edges, which is quite annoying in the hands. For a more comfortable grip, you might want to use the free clear case in the box, which also protects the shiny back panel from fingerprint smudges. In addition, while we do appreciate the large screen, the device feels really huge. It’s tall and thick. It also weighs 202g, which is a bit on the heavier side. You can get used to it, but you’d definitely feel tired when using it single-handedly. Overall, the build is really robust and sturdy. It also comes with a screen protector pre-applied for extra protection since Infinix didn’t mention Corning Gorilla or any glass protection. Speaking of which, what we have here is a display, with a punch-hole for a cleaner look. It has thin bezels resulting that makes better use of space. There’s also the earpiece on top that also works as the second loudspeaker for a stereo setup. The left side has the hybrid SIM card slot, while on the right we have the volume controls and the fingerprint scanner that doubles as a lock/power button. Both the volume up and down controls feel satisfyingly tactile and clicky. The flat power button is not so much, but it gets the job done. The top is clean, while the bottom has the USB Type-C port, headphone jack, built-in microphone, and the primary loudspeaker. Display and Audio The Infinix HOT 20S has a FHD+ IPS display, with a 2460 x 1080 pixel resolution, 396 pixels per inch, and 120Hz refresh rate. At this price, we really can’t be picky about displays. Still, Infinix stepped up. The IPS panel offers good quality with nice colors and contrast. The large screen also makes content and gaming more immersive and gives more room for multi-tasking and reading. Although, the 120Hz refresh rate is barely noticeable. Due to its midrange chip, it doesn’t feel really smooth and we’ve seen flagship phones with more powerful chipsets that are a whole lot smoother despite only having 90Hz panels. The dual speakers are good, though. They are not the loudest, but they are audible enough. Also, having a large screen means the two speakers are separated well enough, creating a distinct stereo separation. Hardware and Performance The Infinix HOT 20S is powered by a gaming-centric MediaTek Helio G96 octa-core processor, with a Mali-G52 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage that’s expandable up to 1TB via the microSD card slot. Infinix HOT 20S benchmark scores It’s definitely not the fastest around, and as I’ve said earlier, it’s not powerful enough to take full advantage of the 120Hz refresh rate. Still, the performance is quite satisfactory. We don’t notice any lagging when taking pictures, browsing social media apps, downloading files, and whatnot. Call of Duty Mobile graphics settings Games also ran fairly well on this device, as long as you’re fine with medium graphics settings. It did get warm a bit after a while, but nothing too alarming. Overall, we’re satisfied with the performance we got with the HOT 20S. Related Realme price list in the Philippines 5G smartphones in the Philippines TECNO Mobile products pricelist HONOR smartphone prices in PH Xiaomi products in PH Software and User Interface The Infinix HOT 20S ships with the Android 12 operating system with XOS 12. This is the Free Fire version, so we’re getting a pretty aggressive special theme out of the box. If you feel like it’s too much like we do, you can switch to the standard look in the settings menu. Everything else looks fairly clean. The control center has large buttons for quick controls, with sliders for the volume and screen brightness. There’s also a card below that lets you easily control other devices like smart home products. The farthest desktop page has your most-used apps, steps counter, phone usage, and other cards like important news. Infinix also included a dedicated Privacy Analysis and Privacy Protection in the settings. Smart Scenes is also available under AI assistant that shows events, flight services, and other recommendations based on usage scenarios. The device also has tons of other features under the Special Function tab in the settings. There’s the lightning multi-window, MemFusion that virtually increases the memory, game mode, XClone for multi-account management, kids mode, and more. Power Marathon is also here to increase battery life. Oddly enough, unlike other brands, Infinix doesn’t have a dedicated Performance Mode. Out of the box, it uses Google Keyboard that’s easy to type on and has quick access to GIFs, emoticons, and more. The camera app is fairly clean, albeit it doesn’t have a standard photo mode other than “AI CAM”, which is annoying if you don’t want AI meddling with your shots. Overall, the interface is pretty intuitive. But take note that the special Free Fire interface isn’t for everybody. Camera Quality The Infinix HOT 20S has a sharp 50-megapixel main camera and two 2-megapixel sensors. We wish Infinix just went with a dual-camera setup and made the latter ultra-wide, which could’ve been more useful. On the front, there’s an 8-megapixel selfie snapper. That said, the main camera takes sharp images, no surprises there. They are fine and worth sharing online, although the colors look a tad bit washed out, and the contrast could be better. Low-light images are surprisingly good. They capture a lot of detail, especially when you use the Night Mode, which takes a long-exposure shot for brighter night images. 50-megapixel main camera 50-megapixel main camera 50-megapixel main camera 50-megapixel main camera 50-megapixel main camera 50-megapixel main camera Night mode The 8-megapixel selfie camera, then again, is not the best. We’ve seen other devices with a similar sensor that take better images. Skin tones are a bit all over the place and the sharpness and details are quite failing. Still, it’s useable for casual snaps and video calls. 8-megapixel front camera 8-megapixel front camera 8-megapixel front camera For its price, the HOT 20S takes decent images. But then again, don’t expect to be blown away by its quality. Battery life and charging The Infinix HOT 20S has a 5,000mAh battery, which is standard in entry-level and midrange phones today. We ran PC Mark’s battery test that loops synthetic workloads until the battery drops to 20%. We did that with the WiFi and Bluetooth off and the volume and brightness at 50%. Under these circumstances, the Infinix HOT 20S was able to get a screen-on time of 14 hours and 12 minutes — one of the best scores we got on any smartphone. This means that it should easily last you for an entire day of light to moderate use, with still a little juice left for the next day. Heavy gamers and binge-watchers can also enjoy this device for 6 to 8 hours or even more. The device then comes with an 18W charging adapter which is, again, a standard on devices of this caliber. Fully charging the HOT 20S will take around an hour and a half. Connectivity Infinix included dual-band WiFi 5 on the HOT 20S, as well as Bluetooth, GPS, FM Radio, Android Auto, HSPA+ and 4G LTE mobile connectivity, and USB Type-C with OTG. All of them worked during our tests. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have 5G and NFC, but I guess that’s too much to ask for the price. Verdict The Infinix HOT 20S, especially this Free Fire edition that we got, is really made for gamers and entertainment junkies on a budget. It has capable performance, an enormous display, stereo speakers, reliable battery life, and an aggressive special interface. But being a budget smartphone, it’s no surprise that it didn’t get everything right. For one, we wish the camera took better photos, and the midrange CPU wasn’t able to take full advantage of the fast display. Still, for its price, the Infinix HOT 20S is one of the most feature-packed phones you can get in the market today.

The segment is also dominated by established players like Xiaomi, Honor and Moto. But once in a while, we get to see a refreshingly new smartphone that can pose a challenge to the stalwarts of the game. The Infinix Hot 6 Pro is one such device. On paper, it has everything that a typical budget phone has — A tall 189 display, dual cameras and a large battery. It’s quite affordable too at Rs 7,999. The company has been in business for a year now in India and the Hot 6 Pro seems it has been improving over time. Does the phone pack enough firepower to challenge the popular products in its price segment? We find out. Design Straight off, the Infinix Hot 6 Pro looks functional and minimalist. The phone is housed in a metal unibody casing with a matte finish that is both easy to grip and not smudge-prone. The dual camera unit sits horizontally at the top left corner and the fingerprint sensor located centrally below that. We received the Sandstone Black unit where the antenna lines are almost invisible. On the front, it’s all screen with thin bezels. The screen takes up 72 percent of the body with ample bezels on the top and the bottom. It’s quite easy to use thanks to the slim profile it maintains despite a 4,000mAh battery. More than that, it’s quite lightweight at 150 grams which adds to the ergonomics. In a way, it looks a lot like the Xiaomi Mi A1 and that isn’t a bad thing at all. The phone also has a dedicated slot for a microSD card, something that most phones skip these days. That helps when you require expandable storage along with two SIM cards at the same time. It’s also easier to use the phone with one hand as the profile isn’t as wide. The headphone jack is placed at the bottom alongside the speaker grill. The speakers does get blocked while using the phone in the landscape mode, though. Overall, the Infinix Hot 6 Pro comes across as a device that looks a lot more expensive than the price-tag it carries. It sports a standard design but a minimalist and functional one at that. Display One of the primary attraction of the Hot 6 Pro is the 6-inch 189 display. It’s only 720p but the IPS LCD panel can reproduce colours quite well. Videos and movies on the screen looks bright and vibrant and that’s thanks to the amped up brightness of the screen. That does require more juice from the battery but Infinix takes care of that with the capacious 4,000mAh battery inside. The screen has a pixel density of 268ppi. In comparison to its competitors that offer a full HD display, this may seem like a compromise. The edges of icons and text appear a little pixelated because of the low pixel density. The brightness also adjusts automatically based on the ambient light. The phone, however, doesn’t offer options to tweak the colour temperature and colour profiles, which are common in MIUI and EMUI-based smartphones. It does offer a blue light filter in the name of Eye Care mode’ that puts an orange tinge on the display to reduce eye strain. Does the extra real estate help? The new aspect ratio certainly reduced the footprint of the phone. The 6-inch display is housed in a body and the extra screen helps with multi-tasking as well,although the underwhelming processor doesn’t really allow much of that. The Hot 6 Pro’s focus is on watching videos and in that regard, it’s an acceptable experience with nicely saturated colours. Apps also have support to scale up videos to support the extra real estate. For its price, it’s a good enough experience marred only by the hardware constraints. Performance and Software The Infinix Hot 6 Pro is an entry-level device powered by the Snapdragon 425 chipset coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. The 64-bit quad-core chipset has four Cortex A53 cores clocked at and is quite popular in the budget segment. The new Moto E5 Plus is powered by it and so was the Redmi Y1 last year and a couple of other devices as well. The chipset, as the benchmark results reveal, gives an average performance. On AnTutu, the Hot 6 Pro scores 44358 while on Geekbench Single Core and Multi Core tests, it scored 657 and 1706 respectively. On GFX Bench’s Manhattan test, it scored a meager fps and on 3D Mark Sling Shot it could manage a score of 68. It’s pretty apparent this phone isn’t good for gaming. I tried out popular games likes PubG Mobile which wasn’t really a great experience. The graphics was at low settings and even then there were occasional frame drops. In Chrome, a large number of tabs slowed the phone down and scrolling through Reddit was choppy. Facebook and Instagram worked fine. If you aren’t much of a gamer, the phone is fine for use. Apps loading times are also on the higher side with heavy apps taking a good ten seconds and more to open. By its performance, the phone seems to be aimed at non-enthusiasts who simply wants a phone to access the web, watch videos and place calls. The UI of the Hot 6 Pro is a refreshing departure from the likes of MIUI and EMUI. Infinix’s XOS Hummingbird has a polished and clean UI. The icons are consistently designed and there’s an app drawer as well with the apps alphabetically arranged. It’s quite visually appealing. App shortcuts are created automatically in the home-screen after they’re installed. In that way, it preserves the experience one gets in Xiaomi and Honor phones. The icons and app drawer can also be resized and themers for the UI, keyboard and lockscreen. The UI comes preloaded with a bunch of apps that includes a file-sharing app, a video editor, it’s own app store, an app to its fan club. Interestingly, the face recognition feature of the phone is a separate app in itself. It’s quite wonky too. The phone takes a good one second to give you access. The fingerprint sensor is much faster at that. Camera Besides the focus on a good display, the Hot 6 Pro also advertised its camera prowess. The phone touts a 13+2-Megapixel dual camera unit at the back and a 5-megapixel sensor on the front. It can take bokeh shots from both sides and has a soft LED flash on the front as well. On paper, it seems to be quite loaded. The photos too aren’t all that bad considering its price. The resulting shots were high in contrast and saturation. The details on the photos aren’t all that much though and macro shots come out a little washed out. The camera app is easy to use but there's a slight shutter lag that somewhat mars the experience. The phone claims to have PDAF but the autofocus takes some time to lock into the subject. It also doesn't adjust the exposure much. The portrait mode at the back is quite aggressive in its blurring, making it look a tad bit artificial. Highlights are also washed out while in the mode. The front camera can take decent selfies. There’s a beauty mode that tends to whitewash all the details from your face. In the bokeh mode up front, the blurring is much more consistent. Edges around facial hair was preserved to some extent and the contrast kept a notch higher. The resulting images come out decent. Good enough for social media credit. There’s also a front LED flash which is better left unused. As for its low light prowess, the Infinix Hot 6 Pro isn't much of a performer. There's ample amount of noise and the photos come out underexposed. The camera tries to compensate for it with extra contrast and saturation and the result is the image below Battery Budget phone with a big battery is all the craze these days and the Hot 6 Pro doesn’t disappoint here as well. It packs a 4,000mAh battery that easily lasted a day and more. PC Mark’s Work Test kept crashing though, so I couldn’t get an objective metric for battery life. Under heavy usage, the phone managed to last a day with two 40-minute episode streamed on Netflix along with ample use of the camera and web browsing. It does take a lot of time to charge though. The phone does not support fast charging and took around two hours to refill. Bottomline The Infinix Hot 6 Pro is for someone who isn’t a power user and instead requires a phone for watching content and using social media. It’s not very powerful but lasts long enough to be reliable. The camera too isn’t all that bad and doesn’t seem like much of a compromise. It’s price tag of Rs 7,999 is also quite affordable, but if you can go a little higher, you can choose from more powerful smartphones including the Realme 1, the Moto E5 Plus and the Redmi 5. The phone is available online exclusively on Flipkart where the competition is much higher as compared to offline channels. Among the vast list of phones on Flipkart, the Hot 6 Pro might get easily lost in the crowd.
