Infinix Heats Things Up By Launching the Infinix Hot 10s

The Infinix Hot 10s is a budget 4G smartphone that comes with entry-level specifications and a decent design. However, one of the highlights of the device is its impressive display. Even though it doesn’t come with a full-HD AMOLED display, it can support a 90Hz refresh rate.

It comes with a 6.82-inch HD+ IPS display and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. The maximum brightness supported by the device is 480nits. Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC coupled with up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It has a triple camera setup at the rear, where the primary sensor is a 48MP lens paired with a 2MP depth sensor and an AI lens.

First of all, the 90Hz display on the Hot 10S makes it feel smoother and snappier than its competitors. The helio chipset used inside helps here too. The panel is a 6.82 inch LCD with 720p resolution and 440 nits of peak brightness. There’s a chin present at the bottom here and a waterdrop notch up top.

The huge size of the display is great for viewing videos or gaming. The Hot 10s has an all-plastic build and Infinix has found a way to make even a glossy finish totally smudge free. There’s also a pattern of curved lines running along the back, but overall it’s a very similar look and feel as previous Infinix phones.

Infinix Hot 10S starts at Rs 9,999 for the 4/64GB variant. The actual performance you’re getting here, both in terms of gaming and the day-to-day experience, is truly best-in-class and I can easily recommend this phone to anyone who’s just looking for a phone that feels fast, doesn’t lag and lasts really long. Then there are also the added benefits of superb battery life and all the nifty social turbo features that XOS comes with.

Of course it’s not a perfect phone but if you notice closely, the cons that it has, such as a weaker camera dept. and absence of USB-c charging support, these are easily applicable to almost 80–90% of the phones available in this segment.

All said and done, Infinix Hot 10S is an easy pick for people who value performance over everything else. And in my opinion, it is definitely going to nudge things forward in this segment.
