Infinix Hot 9 Device Overview

The Infinix Hot 9 features a 6.6 inches IPS LCD display with an HD+ resolution. This results in a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. It has an aspect ratio of 20:9, a pixel density of 266 Pixel Per Inch, a screen to body ratio of 82.8 percent, and as every screen does it can produce 16M colors.

Coming to the internals, the Infinix Hot 9 sports the MediaTek Helio A25 SoC. This is the one that we haven’t seen on many smartphones out there. The Helio A25 is built on the 12nm process and has an octa-core setup which includes four Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.8GHz and the other four clocked at 1.5GHz. To the GPU side, this SoC pairs with the PowerVR GE8320. The device runs on its own XOS 6.0 that is based on Android 10. Talking about the memory options available. It is available in 2, 3, and 4GB of RAM versions. And in 32, 64, 128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage.

Coming to the optics, this is the other area where Infinix comes with interesting specs. Recently the brand has launched a sub 10K device with a pop-up camera. This device has a quad rear camera setup that too in two different options. That is, the basic 32GB model has a primary 13MP sensor with PDAF. It pairs with a 2MP macro sensor, a tertiary 2MP depth sensor, and finally a QVGA (Low light sensor). While the 64 or 128GB versions get a 16MP primary sensor instead of the 13MP sensor. It also features triple LED flash and supports for panorama, and HDR shots. To the front, all the devices get the same sensor. That said, it has an 8MP selfie shooter that can record videos at 1080 @ 30fps.

The Infinix Hot 9 packs a massive 5,000 mAh battery and still charges over the micro USB port. We can’t expect this device to come with support for fast charging. This has a rear-mounted physical fingerprint scanner along with support for face unlock. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot. Bluetooth 5.0, A2DP, LE. GPS with A-GPS. FM radio, and micro USB 2.0, USB On-The-Go. Sensors include accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass. It measures about 165.4 x 76.8 x 8.8 mm (6.51 x 3.02 x 0.35 in) and weighs about 185 grams. The brand has also retained a 3.5mm headphone jack with this smartphone.
