Infinix HOT 30i : The Infinix HOT 30i is an attractive choice in the budget smartphone market, providing both essential functionality and affordability to appeal to value-conscious consumers.
Design and Build
The HOT 30i features the back cover of colourful and fashionable designs including Mirror Black, Mirror Blue and Mirror Green in order to be stylish.
The device is sleek with 8.5mm thinness and weighs 192 grams allowing for ease of use. Although largely plastic, it feels better built than its low cost would suggest, and special attention is even paid to the texturing of the plastic to help it resist fingerprint smudges and the like.
Display
Featuring a 6.6-inch HD+IPS LCD display (720 x 1612 pixels), the HOT 30i offers decent visuals for everyday use.
You can count on a higher refresh rate of 90Hz, which makes scrolling look smoother and touch response more precise than with regular 60Hz panels, a rare feature in this price category. Front camera is under the waterdrop notch for full screen display.
Performance
It is equipped with Unisoc T606 octa-core SoC with support for 4GB/8GB of RAM and can manage basic tasks considerably well enough.
What powers it The smartphone runs XOS 13 based on Android 13 and the overall software experience is feature-rich to say the least along with useful add-ons such as the memory fusion technology that can add to RAM by using storage space.
Camera System
There’s a dual- rear camera system featuring 13MP primary with a QVGA soft lens. The rear camera is decent without being amazing — in good light, it captures good detail and color.
5MP front facing camera is good enough for occasional selfies and video calls, but it struggles a bit in low light conditions.
Battery Life
One of the stand out features is the 5000mAh battery on board which effortlessly gives you a full day of moderate usage and can stretch up to two days with light usage. 10W charging It’s functional enough, if not especially fast by today’s standards.
Storage and Connectivity
The infinix HOT 30i comes in two storage variants, 64GB and 128GB, with microSD expansion as high as 1TB.
The phone is offered with 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.0 and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a neat feature for anyone, who owns a pair of wired audio accessories.
