Infinix mobility is back with another addition to its Hot-series and it is none other than the Infinix Hot 6X. Featuring a crafty notch and some nice specs to follow, the smartphone is still very much a budget smartphone. However it’s high time, Infinix stopped touting a Qualcomm chipset as a solid feature knowing full well it is a low-tier SoC. There is also the fact that Infinix is using the word AI camera on the smartphone which just shows smarts instead of artificial intelligence.
Infinix Hot 6X Key Specs and Features
6.2-inch, IPS LCD capacity touchscreen, 1500 x 720 pixels
Android 8.1 Oreo
Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 CPU with 2GB/3GB RAM
16GB/32GB built-in storage, up to 128GB with a memory card
Dual 13MP + 2MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera
4G LTE
Fingerprint scanner (rear)
4, 000mAh none removable Li-Ion battery
Design and Display
The smartphone sport a .plastic body with a notch adorning the top of the screen and a dual rear camera lined at the side. Besides, the screen has a minimal amount of bezels with the sides having the least portion of it. There is the fingerprint scanner in a pleasant position at the back with Infinix written under and the Hot branding at the far bottom. Common to the Hot series, it has a red, black gold and blue option.
One of tge good thing about the display is the large size which is accompanied by the HD+/resolution. If you are a fan of the notch, you’ll find the Infinix Hot 6X a better deal. On the other hand, the 6.2-inch of screen space is not a bad deal at all on a budget.
Battery and Camera
It is quite nice that the smartphone has a great battery capacity on it with a stated 2 day battery life according to Infinix. A number of Infinix phones have a battery somewhere in the region of 4, 000mAh which is exactly what you have here. No fast charge included and it has the MicroUSB port on it same has a bunch of other budget smartphones.
The Infinix.Hot 6X is one of those budget phones with the dual facade at the rear. As it usually is, the extra 2MP camera is meant for bokeh shots while the main 13MP camera does the bulk of the work. All of the cameras on the phone are labelled as AI cameras including the 8MP front camera which also doubles for the face unlock.
Hardware and Software
Now to the highly proclaimed Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, I’m glad to tell you it is a Snapdragon 425 processor. Also, there is the Adreno 308 GPU which means gaming won’t really be much of a thing especially the heavy ones. You can get the smartphone in two type, there is one with 2GB RAM and a 16GB internal storage.
A more premium version offers 3GB RAM as well as 32GB storage space. On the other hand, a memory card space is available to increase the storage up to 128GB. On it there is Android 8.1 Oreo which makes it the closest to the latest Android 9.0 Pie out there.

The smartphone will cost about 45, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.
