It's almost a tradition at this point. We hear that another Infinix phone is getting discounted to spring back into the spotlight. Infinix Hot 40i (8/128GB), formerly shelved in Pakistan at Rs 30,000, is now up for grabs at Rs 28,500. We all know the 40i doesn't exactly fit in its price category, so a 1,500 rupees price cut is fair play.
There's a pattern to Infinix's smartphone releases, and we are slowly picking up on it. They release handsets at unjustifiably high prices only to slam them with price cuts later until they start to appeal to the general public. Hot 40i has already plummeted twice, and now another discount awaits you.
It's sturdy enough to sustain usability long-term. Hot 40i hosts a 6.56" LCD, unlocks a speedy 90Hz refresh rate, and an HD 720p resolution. It does away with performance concerns since it has a MediaTek Helio G88 chipset. So it can keep up with your daily hustle, no doubt.
But the bell of the ball is probably Its 32MP selfie camera, which no other company dares to feature for such a low price. A standard rear 50MP shooter on the Infinix new Hot model tags along for the ride and does almost everything you can expect from a smartphone cam.
Hot 40i has been the underdog that didn't get the attention it deserved when it launched. Extreme price tags might have had something to do with it, but still, a 5,000mAh battery, 18W charging, Android 13 OS, and features like a side fingerprint reader deserve approval, especially at its all-time low price.
