After a brief social media campaign, Infinix Pakistan introduced the Hot 10i nationwide — the latest edition of its entry-level Infinix Hot 10 series. It’s now available for pre-order. With each registration, Infinix is throwing in a free pair of Infinix Earbuds.
MediaTek Helio P65, a mid-range chip from mid-2019, drives the Infinix Hot 10i. It’s built on an octa-core CPU and promises to outperform the Helio G35 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600 series.
A massive 6000 mAh cell delivers the battery backup. Since this battery doesn’t have to serve demanding hardware, the Infinix Hot 10i can last a whopping 73 days on standby and 18 hours of continuous gaming. It doesn’t support fast charging, but software tweaks can stretch battery life by 25%.
The Hot 10i is also a compact phone, at least by Infinix standards. Its display stretches 6.52” across, delivering 500 nits of peak brightness and an unremarkable 720P resolution. The bezel design of the new addition to the Infinix Price list features a similarly generic drop notch bleeding into the screen.
Flip the Hot 10i over to find a plastic shell with a striped finish, a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, and a small camera island. The camera plate houses a 13MP f/1.8 camera, a depth-reading lens, and an LED flash. Its image processing supports shooting modes like eye-tracking, portrait, and high-resolution 2K video. Since the chipset at the phone’s heart is old-gen, it lacks a dedicated night mode. Out on the front, we find a low-res 5MP selfie camera.
The Android11-based XOS 7.5 runs on the phone straight out of the box. Infinix Hot 10i comes in a single 4GB+128GB variant and two colors, mint and purple. It starts from Rs. 21,999.
