Let’s take a look at the key specs, pros, cons, and price of Infinix Hot 30.
Key Features of Infinix Hot 30
Design and Build
The Hot series from Infinix always experiments with design. And each year, their designs bring a breath of fresh air to the segment of budget-friendly smartphones. Holding this legacy, the design is perhaps the most striking quality of the Hot 30.
Weighing 196g, Infinix Hot 30 bears dimensions of 168.7mm by 76.6mm by 8.4mm.

The first thing a user will notice is the glossy back with refractive patterns. The angular curved lines give a 3D effect to the back and offer impressive light play in its color variants including Racing Black, Surfing Green, Sonic White, Free Fire, etc.
This year too Infinix has gone with an iPhone-like design with a boxy shape and flat edges. And if it's any wonder, yes, the device can stand vertically.
The dual camera sensor along with the proprietary flash has been arranged in such a way that it exudes the triangular camera cutout of the iPhone. It's not a complete rip-off, rather it gives the Hot 30 a distinct look with the refractive glossy back.

The device is made up of a glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame. The frame has a brushed chrome finish to give it an aluminum-like appearance. It does a great job of resisting fingerprints.
All the usual ports and button selections are here. Here you will find a power button, fingerprint scanner, volume rocker, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and an extendable micro SDXC slot.
Display
Infinix Hot 30 comes with a 6.78-inch IPS LCD display featuring a 90 Hz refresh rate. The choice of LCD in this price segment is understandable. What matters is how well the panel is calibrated.

With resolutions of 1080 by 2460 pixels, Hot 30 has about 396 PPI density. The FHD+ display in testing looked sharp and crisp with better-viewing angles than the preceding Hot 20. The panel also has 500 nits of brightness with an additional 100 nits in High Brightness Mode (HBM).
The Hot 30 can be a good choice for media consumption and day-to-day use. The high refresh rate combined with the crisp display makes it a pleasure to interact with.
Camera
Infinix Hot 30 sports a dual camera setup on the rear side. The main sensor is a 50 MP wide-angle shooter featuring f/1.6 aperture and a ½.55-inch lens size; while the secondary camera is unspecified.

The secondary shooter on the ancestor Hot 20 was a QVGA sensor so it's likely that the one that comes with the Hot 30 is also a QVGA one.
