Design and Build
The Infinix Hot 50 features a sleek design with dimensions of 165.7 x 77.1 x 7.8 mm and a weight of just 188 grams. It’s designed for comfort, with a relatively slim profile that makes it easy to handle despite its large screen size. The phone has a glass front, and its plastic back and frame keep the weight down while maintaining durability. The Hot 50 also boasts an IP54 rating, which offers protection against dust and splashes, making it more resilient in everyday situations.
Display and Performance
The 6.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smoother scrolling and better responsiveness, especially during gaming and media consumption. The screen’s resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a 20:9 aspect ratio may not offer the highest pixel density (262 ppi), but it still delivers decent visuals for a budget phone, striking a balance between performance and battery efficiency.
The Mediatek Dimensity 6300 chipset powers the Infinix Hot 50, providing efficient and reliable performance for daily tasks. The octa-core processor includes 2×2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 cores and 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, which ensures smooth multitasking and moderate gaming performance. Paired with 4GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, the Hot 50 offers enough space for apps, media, and games, with additional expansion options via microSDXC (using a shared SIM slot). The phone uses UFS 2.2 storage for faster read and write speeds.
Camera and Battery
The dual-camera setup on the Infinix Hot 50 includes a 48 MP primary sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor, allowing users to capture decent photos with accurate depth effects. The camera is equipped with dual-LED flash, ensuring clearer images even in low-light conditions. The 8 MP front camera also features an LED flash, making it ideal for selfies, especially in darker environments.
Powering the device is a 5000 mAh battery, which promises long-lasting usage. The Hot 50 supports 18W wired charging, allowing users to quickly power up the phone when needed. It also features reverse wired charging, making it possible to charge other devices using the Hot 50’s battery, a handy feature in emergencies.
Connectivity and Extras
The Infinix Hot 50 excels in connectivity with 5G, ensuring faster download and upload speeds. It also includes Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG support, offering versatility in terms of file sharing and device connectivity. For security, it comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor along with an accelerometer, proximity sensor, and compass.
Conclusion
The Infinix Hot 50 is a well-rounded budget smartphone that offers 5G connectivity, a large display, and a solid camera setup, making it a great option for users seeking value for money. Its repair-friendly design, strong battery life, and modern features make it stand out in the budget smartphone market.
