The Hot line from the young Hong Kong brand Infinix includes well-equipped and rather beautiful mid-range smartphones, which would be more correctly called phablets. The key difference from competitors is the tendency of Hot pipes to gigantism. If most manufacturers and buyers have come to the conclusion that 6.5 inches is the optimal screen size, then for Infinix Hot the normal figure is 6.6 - 6.8 inches.

In addition to dimensions, Infinix Hot smartphones attract potential buyers due to their pleasant design, practical materials and decent equipment. Typical equipment of an average Hot smartphone includes a Full HD IPS display, a dual (rarely triple) camera, a simple front camera, a fingerprint scanner, an NFC chip, a capacious battery, and moderately fast 18-watt charging. In the role of the central processor, something in the spirit of Dimensity 810 or Helio G70 is usually found, and the amount of RAM in most cases is 4 GB that is optimal for such a device.


In order not to get lost in the background of hundreds of competitors in the category under $200, Infinix has to experiment with design and go for some technical tricks. So Infinix Hot 20 5G became one of the first smartphones under $200 with a 120Hz display, game mode support and a built-in 5G module. And the Infinix Hot 12 Play comes pre-installed with the XArena gaming platform with a bunch of settings for optimizing a specific game and support for the Dar-Link 2.0 optimization algorithm. Most often, such things are found in more or less new smartphones released in the second half of 2022 and later.

The entire assortment of the Hot line can be divided into 4 groups: regular Hot handsets, Hot Play gaming smartphones, upgraded Hot Pro versions and lightweight versions with Hot i. However, in many cases, the manufacturer is limited by price limits, so the difference between related models is not so great, which is why the Infinix Hot 12 Pro is not much superior to the regular Hot 12.
