Infinix has become a rising star in the budget smartphone market, thanks to its Hot series, known for solid features at affordable prices. The Infinix Hot 50 Pro, launched in Bangladesh, India, and several other countries in October 2024, continues this trend, offering a compelling mix of performance, display, and camera features for value-conscious buyers. Key Features of the Infinix Hot 50 Pro . Design and Build Quality The Infinix Hot 50 Pro combines a sleek, modern aesthetic with practical durability. It is light and easy to hold at 190 grams and 7.4 mm thick. The plastic back has a glossy finish, giving the phone a premium feel, and the rounded edges make for a comfortable grip. One standout feature is its IP54 rating, providing dust and splash resistance, which is rare at this price. It is a versatile choice for users who value resilience in their phones. The color options are available in Sleek Black, Titanium Gray, and Glacier Blue, which cater to diverse style preferences. The Hot 50 shares similar dimensions but lacks the IP54 rating, which adds durability to the Hot 50 Pro. Tecno Spark 30 Pro also offers an IP54 rating, though it has a bulkier build. Overall, the Hot 50 Pro balances design and functionality, giving it a competitive edge. Read more: vivo V40 Lite Review: A Stylish Performer or Just Another Mid-Range Option? Display Quality The Infinix Hot 50 Pro sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ 1080 by 2436 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and responsive touch, perfect for both gaming and browsing. Its high brightness, peaking at 1800 nits, ensures clear viewing outdoors, a rare feature among budget phones. Compared to the Infinix Hot 50, which has an IPS LCD, the Pro’s AMOLED display is more vibrant and immersive. The slightly higher priced competitor realme 9i offers a 90Hz IPS display, which lacks the colour richness and fluidity of Hot 50 Pro’s AMOLED at 120Hz. Another pricier rival Tecno Spark 30 Pro comes close with Hot 50 Pro’s display features, but its peak brightness is slightly lower (1700nits).  For users who love streaming, gaming, or spending time outdoors, the Hot 50 Pro’s display is a good contender in the budget segment smartphones.

Although the screen may not be as bright as some competitors, it remains acceptable for outdoor use. What it lacks in brightness, it compensates for with accurate and vivid colors. Additionally, the contrast remains consistent, ensuring a satisfying viewing experience from any angle. Cameras The back panel of the Infinix HOT 40 houses a triple camera setup, led by a 50MP main sensor featuring autofocus and an f/1.6 aperture. This primary sensor is complemented by a 2MP macro lens and a 0.08MP auxiliary lens. For selfies, there's a 32MP front-facing camera with an f/2.2 aperture. Read more: itel Vision 5 Plus Review: Standard Phone under Tk14000 The 50MP rear camera captures photos with warm tones and decent detail, although colors may appear somewhat muted even under good lighting conditions. In low-light environments, image quality remains satisfactory but with reduced sharpness and contrast, typical for an entry-level smartphone. However, considering most users will likely share photos on social media, the quality should suffice. The 32MP selfie camera captures adequate details, especially with the Beauty mode enhancing shots for social media sharing. Portrait mode effectively separates subjects from backgrounds, ensuring pleasing results. The Super Night mode is a noteworthy feature, offering interesting shots with recovered details in low-light situations. However, caution is advised in tricky lighting scenarios to prevent overexposure.

During testing, the HOT 40 proved proficient in handling everyday tasks with ease. It also demonstrated commendable performance in casual gaming and lighter titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Garena Free Fire, and Call of Duty Mobile game, running smoothly without noticeable lag or frame drops. Read more: ZTE Blade V50 Design 4G Review: Surprising Features on a Budget-friendly Phone While playing extensive sessions of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, the gameplay remained smooth with minimal interruptions. However, more graphically demanding games like Genshin Impact, while playable on lower graphics settings, may struggle with rendering complex gameplay effects. The device excels in multimedia consumption, serving as a reliable platform for streaming shows from various apps. Notably, the inclusion of stereo speakers, though not delivering top-tier sound quality, enhances the overall audio experience with a balance of bass and treble. In benchmark tests, the Infinix HOT 40 achieved respectable scores, reaching 275987 in the Antutu test, 430 for single-core and 1446 for multi-core scores in Geekbench 6 CPU benchmarking, and 575 in OpenCL and 1118 in Vulkan benchmark tests for GPU performance.

The Note series from Infinix has been their go-to affordable option that blends price and performance. The previous releases like Note 10 and Note 12 were highly popular in the budget-friendly phone range. Infinix launched Note 30 5G on 22nd May 2023. Now the question arises, can Note 30 hold the legacy? Let’s look at the main features of the Infinix Note 30 5G variant and find out whether it lives up to the hype.  Key Specifications of the Infinix Note 30 5G  Design and Build Quality  An interesting thing about the Note series is that the design goes through minimal changes in each iteration. Most of the changes take place on the design of the camera housing or the back with the device retaining most of its other design elements.  The Note 30 5G too walks the same route with a boxy design and a large rectangular camera housing on the back. Dimension-wise, the device comes in at 168.5 mm by 76.5 mm by 8.5 mm with 205 g weight.   Read more: Xiaomi 13T Pro Review: The flagship killer is back The device has a plastic frame with either glass or leather back depending on the color variant. The Magic Black and Interstellar Blue variants come in glass whereas the Sunset Gold has a tan leather finish on the back.  Coming to the front, there is a noticeable chin on the bottom with a punch-hole camera cut out. Even for a budget-friendly smartphone, the large chin stands out like a sore thumb. It might be the only design drawback of the Note 30 5G.  The power button and the volume rocker are placed on the right side of the smartphone. The Note 30 5G has stuck with the side-mounted fingerprint scanner placed on the power button. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is also present on the device which will be a pleasant feature for many. There is also a dedicated micro SDXC slot so storage concerns will not be an issue.  Read more: Xiaomi Pad 6 Review: Can It be a True iPad Alternative? The Display  The display on the Note 30 5G is a 6.78-inch IPS LCD panel with FHD+ resolution. The display holds 1080 by 2460 pixels at 396 ppi. Even though it’s an LCD panel, several features make it stand out from contemporary displays. Like the choice of 120 Hz refresh rate and 580 nits of peak brightness. While it’s not the brightest display out there, it is perfectly legible under direct sunlight. The display also showed good contrast in the test. There were not any color shifts here and there and the blacks looked deep compared to the usual washed-out appearance. Out of the box, the color calibration seemed to be on the warmer side but it can be changed from the display settings as per the user’s preference.  The only drawback here is the design of the front. The large chin at the bottom takes up a significant front real estate. It accounts for an 84.7% screen-to-body ratio which isn’t really up to the 2023 design standards.  Read more: 10 Best GPS Trackers for Cars in Bangladesh The Camera  The Infinix Note 30 5G has a triple camera setup beautifully positioned on the raised platform at the back. While on paper, the smartphone has a triple camera, all of the work is essentially done by the 108 MP main sensor with f/1.75 aperture, 26mm focal length, and 1/1.67" sensor size. The two supporting sensors are a 2 MP depth sensor and a QVGA sensor.  QVGA sensors are quite obsolete in 2023 as they essentially have no specific functionality. It is almost as if Infinix included them for the sake of having a triple-camera marketing tagline.  Coming back to the performance of the main sensor, the results were satisfactory considering the price. The high megapixel count assists in capturing more details than before. However, the end product is still pixel-binned 12 MP pictures unless you are shooting at 108 MP raw. Though the processing on the raw images was a bit off, they had better details compared to the pixel-binned images.  Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Review: What are the key upgrades? The pictures came out really well under direct sunlight. The photos had a good contrast with a decent dynamic range. The subjects were consistently in focus and the pictures produced sharp details. Sometimes, the photos of objects or nature may look a bit over processed but the color pop looks pleasing to the eye.  The picture quality, however, doesn’t hold in the low light or artificial lighting. Images still look over-processed and sometimes they also look overexposed in certain low-light conditions. The front camera has a generic 16 MP shooter. There’s nothing fancy about it and it produces passable results.  The videography on the Note 30 5G is rated to be 1440p at 30fps by the main shooter, while 1080p at either 30 or 60fps footage can be captured by the selfie sensor.  Read more: Symphony Helio 80 Review: Is the hype justified? The OS has an interesting feature called Dual View Recording which allows recording on both the front and back camera at the same time. However, the lack of OIS and EIS is something that affects the video quality to a certain extent.  To sum things up, the camera is a solid performer in terms of pictures. But the videography still has a long road to tread.  Processor and Performance  The Note 30 5G is powered by Mediatek Dimensity 6080 based on the 6 Nm architecture. Being an entry-level processor, the 6 Nm architecture helps a lot in terms of power-efficient output. The processor has a chip design of 2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 with Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.  Read more: vivo V29 5G Review: Is it a balanced camera phone? In terms of performance, the spec resonates in use. The device performed well in gaming. Tests were run with PUBG, Asphalt 9, COD, and Genshin Impact. While it can hardly run on max graphics settings, the device was able to run in mid settings. The device had a uniform output with no noticeable frame drops. It heated up a bit but didn’t trigger rapid battery loss or thermal throttling. In day-to-day use, the device performed smoothly. Combining that with a 120 Hz refresh rate, the performance felt no less than a flagship-grade smartphone.  The Note 30 5G is running on Android 13 with XOS 13 skin on top of it. The XOS is still a bloatware-filled mess for anyone coming from a stock Android experience. But previous users of Infinix should feel right at home.  Battery and Charge Time The Infinix Note 30 5G has a 5000 mAh battery on board with 45W fast charging. The device also has a new feature called bypass charging which shifts 30% of the power directly to the motherboard. It helps to ensure the battery health by optimizing the usage.  Read more: Honor Pad X9 Review: Is it worth buying? Pros and Cons of Infinix Note 30 5G  Pros:  - Interesting design and elements  - Great performance  - Fast charging  - Dual stereo speaker  - Bright and crisp display  Cons:  - Videography lacks stability  - Bloatware. Read more: Best Tablets under Tk 25000 in Bangladesh Price of Infinix Note 30 5G  The Infinix Note 30 5G is available in two variants – 4/128 GB and the 8/256 GB variant. The prices of the variants are 13,999 and 14,699 INR respectively. The price roughly translates to 18,461 and 19,384 BDT respectively (1 INR = 1.32 BDT). However, the price can differ once it becomes officially available in Bangladesh.  Verdict  The Infinix Note 30 5G is a refreshing update compared to last year’s Note 12 5G. While the naming structure has no resemblance, the Note 30 can be considered as an incremental update to the Note 12. In terms of its strengths, the display, processor, and design would be the key selling points for the device.  But as always, there remains much to be desired from the camera system. The bloatware may disappoint some users.  Read more: Top 9 Most Anticipated Smartphones Coming to Bangladesh in October 2023 To sum things up, the Note 30 5G can be a standard choice for day-to-day use. Those who are looking for a budget-friendly gaming phone can consider the Infinix Note 30 5G as it brings a good balance of price and performance.

You will find a punch-hole camera in the top middle part of the display. The phone is available in four colors sonic black, fantasy purple, tempo blue, and light-rider white. The body has a shiny glass-like surface made with plastic with a sunray-like pattern that makes the phone distinct when sunlight reflects on it. The pattern begins from the camera part, which has two large circles and a small circle. Read More: Walton Primo R10 Review: Does it offer value for money? The Hot 20S has a boxed design. However, unlike other similar looking phones, such as iPhones, it has chamfered edges. The edge may make you feel annoyed while holding the phone. However, using a clear case may give you a comfortable grip while it also protects the back from fingerprints and keeps your phone shiny. The left side of the Infinix Hot 20S contains a hybrid SIM card slot, and you will get a volume rocker button alongside the power button on the right side. The power button also has a fingerprint scanner. The top edge of the phone is clean, but the bottom contains a 3.5 mm headphone jack, USB Type C, loudspeaker, and built-in microphone.

The display has a 120Hz refresh rate with a 2460 x 1080 pixel resolution. The IPS panel provides superior image quality and color accuracy, wider viewing angles, and better outdoor visibility than other types of display panels. It also has better power efficiency than other types of displays, so they can help extend battery life. Additionally, the display panels have better touch response and better response times, making them ideal for multitouch applications and games. However, you might not feel the 120HZ refresh rate as Infinity used a midrange chip. That being said, you may feel it like a 90Hz panel. But the dual speaker will give you an excellent feel. However, they are not the loudest, audible enough for a room. Read More: Symphony Z47 Review: 90Hz Refresh Rate on a Budget Device Hardware and Software The Infinix Hot 20S is equipped with a gaming-centric MediaTek Helio G96 octa-core premium gaming processor. It also contains a Mali-G52 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage, giving you great performance while playing games. Additionally, you can also expand the memory up to 1TB with the microSD card. Games run fairly smoothly on Hot 20S. However, the phone might get warm after a while, but this is not alarming. The phone comes with the Android 12 operating system with XOS 12. It offers faster app launch times with improved performance optimization. It also has a new audio experience with improved audio quality, better audio effects, and improved audio latency. Lastly, it has improved battery life and supports secure storage.

But it can produce decent and vibrant images with accurate colors and good details. The camera also has different modes that can be used to enhance selfies. Additionally, the camera may also help to reduce noise and improve clarity. Overall, the camera is capable of producing good selfies and is good enough for everyday use.

The Infinix Note 12 series is a new line of smartphones that comes with a lot of features and specifications. The phones are perfect for those who love taking pictures and videos as well as multitasking. Some of the notable features of these phones include large screen size, a fast processor, ample storage space, and a camera that is capable of capturing stunning images and videos. Recently the company has added a new phone Note 12 G96, to its lineup. The phone was released on June 21, 2022, in Bangladesh. Let’s get to know the features and price of Infinix Note 12 G96. Key Features of Infinix Note 12 G96  Design and Build Infinix Note 12 G96 is slim at 7.8mm thickness, and its weight is 1.85g. The phone resembles the recent iPhone, which has a square-sided frame with inwards to the rear and front sections. While the front part is plain like all the phones, you will get three options for the back part, snowfall, force black, and sapphire blue. The phone appears well-made considering its budget class. The back, as well as the front, is made of glass. The frame notably looks like metal, but it is actually plastic. The camera lens and design are regular. While the competitors have a bit bulkier design with the cameras, G96 kept everything neat. Read Samsung Galaxy A04s: The coming soon budget killer phone There’s an audio jack in the phone but no official waterproof rating. The good thing about G96 is that you can unlock the phone by touching the power button as it has a fingerprint scanner. Display Among the reasons to buy Note 12 G96 is the extensive 6.7-inch display, which is standard for high-end Note branded devices. Its large 6.7 inches give you the opportunity to watch videos, play games, or simply scroll through your photos. Budget phones frequently feature LCD displays, but leading makers like Infinix have an AMOLED screen with a superior Full HD resolution. This will give you more contrast, vibrant colors, and better brightness than most. The peak brightness measured is 514 nits, while the display might not be easy to view outdoors under sunlight. The display can replicate 100% of the P3 spectrum; hence you can call it true color. However, the display contains some reasonable bezels, and it doesn’t provide a high refresh rate either. Read Xiaomi 12 Pro Review: Is it a value for money flagship? Speakers You can get stereo speakers on the phone, and they sound a lot better than you might expect for the price. The volume levels are surprisingly high, and the balance is exceptional. Infinix Note 12 G96’s sound quality is better than the competitors. Performance This version of Note 12 includes a MediaTek Helio G96 processor, which is more powerful than its ancestor Note 12 with G88. This octa-core processor with up to 2.05GHz clock speed is a competitor of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 available inside the Redmi Note 11. Infinix says that it enhances the display screen and visuals and provides faster gaming performance, with breakthrough performance. To boost the processor, the phone comes with 8GB of RAM. In addition, Infinix offers something that is becoming increasingly common in Extended RAM, where you may add 5GB RAM using the ROM storage. The phone comes with 128GB and 256GB of ROM storage. Read Vivo X80 Pro 5G Review: Is it a reasonable flagship Smartphone? The benchmark results from the Note 12 G96 are highly desirable, but scoring better than both the Redmi Note 11 and Realme 9i seems too minor to get much attention. They are not much different from similarly priced handsets in this particular test. It should also be noted that the G96 model does not feature 5G connectivity, so if you need access to the most recent mobile networks, you may need to look elsewhere. The Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro 5G and Oppo A54 5G are both great options that fit your budget and are worth checking out for 5G access. The phone comes with a dual sim option and the second slot is absolutely usable as you don’t need to insert any SD card into that. Read Infinix Hot 12 Review: Is it a good budget Smartphone? Infinix Note 12 G96 comes with Android 12 with the company’s XOS 10.6 UI over the top, which makes the operating system more elegant. Like iOS, XOS has a notification panel along with a quick setting on either side of the central camera. Cameras It’s nice to see that the Infinix Note 12 G96 hasn’t yielded to the trap of adding just 2 megapixels of macro only to increase the megapixel count. The phone’s main camera is 50 megapixels, accompanied by a 2-megapixel depth sensor. An ultrawide would be a pleasant upgrade, but on a budget phone like G96, the main camera is good enough to shoot promising photos. Read OnePlus Nord CE2 Lite 5G Review: Know its Pros, Cons With the main camera, you can perfectly capture some pleasing images with some good details. It can even correct the exposure with accurate colors. However, you may still see some noise if you take a close shot, even the outdoors. Note 12’s video quality is satisfactory when used at resolutions of 2K and 30fps, although the default setting of 720p speaks for itself. The detail is excellent at the higher resolution. However, it is not furnished with optical stabilization for steady shooting, so unless it is kept very still, it might not work at all. Battery and Charging The phone comes with a large 5000mAh battery which gives strong longevity. With relatively light usage, the battery can last two days easily. A large battery provides more power, which means you can run your apps and games faster and longer without having to worry about running out of battery. Read Infinix Hot 12 Play Review: Should you buy this budget phone? For charging, it comes with 33W capability, which is decent enough for a budget phone. The phone can get charged to 50% in just 30 minutes. Price of Infinix Note 12 G96’S in Bangladesh With all these excellent features, Note 12 G96 is officially priced at Tk. 19,999. Verdict As a budget phone, you are getting decent core specs at the cheapest price. With a high-speed processor, up to 13GB RAM, a 6.7-inch display, and enhanced ROM, Infinix Note 12 G96 will surely be a great pick under TK. 20,000.

Ever since its inception in 2013, Infinix has always had its focus on one thing – budget killer devices. The company has consistently launched devices under its various lines with its core aim of bringing aggressive value for money. They recently launched the Infinix Hot 12 Play on 30th May 2022 globally. The phone is now officially available in Bangladesh as well. Here is a detailed take on the device so that prospective buyers can decide whether to go for this device or not. Infinix Hot 12 Play Key Specifications Design and Build Quality The first thing to note is that Infinix is a through and through budget device. One of the quirks with the budget devices is that they don’t tend to stick to a design language. High-end devices like iPhones or the S series from Samsung always go about making small incremental changes in the hardware to bring a seamless experience. However, that is not the case with budget devices and certainly not with the Hot series from Infinix. The previous iteration had a vertical dual-tone back. This time, Infinix introduced a horizontal partition on the lower end of the device. The upper portion has a pronounced vertical shade whereas the bottom part exudes a faded brushed glow. The light refraction on both parts gives the device its rustic premium look. Read: OnePlus Nord CE2 Lite 5G Review: Know its Pros, Cons Moving on to ports and buttons and everything is as expected and utilitarian in a budget device. The phone sports all the usual bells and whistles like a dedicated microSD slot, 3.5 headphone jack, and a much-loved USB Type C charging port. The fingerprint sensor now got its dedicated place on the back right beside the camera module. Overall, the build and design won’t blow away the users. But small increments come together to make a decent device considering the price. Display Infinix hasn’t jumped onto the AMOLED bandwagon yet. The choice of sticking with the IPS LCD is understandable considering the limited options. But that didn’t stop the company from trickling some high-end features into the Hot 12 Play. Read: Xiaomi offers up to Tk12,000 cashback on smartphones The display itself is a large 6.82-inch panel with HD+ resolution and 259 ppi. The modest specs are alleviated with the addition of the 90 Hz refresh rate. In addition to that, the panel has a touch sampling rate of 180 Hz so touches and browsing feel absolutely smooth. The phone’s brightness maxes out at 800 nits. Outdoor visibility isn’t much of an issue but users might see some glares under direct sunlight. Camera On the flip side of the device, the rectangular camera housing holds two large vertical camera sensors and an imitative small cutout at the bottom. While it might look like a sensor, it is just there for the aesthetics. Speaking of useless additions, one of the two lenses is a QVGA lens while the main sensor is a 13 MP wide-angle f/1.8 shooter. It doesn’t make any sense as to why companies still include a QVGA lens with their devices. The choice can be attributed to cost cuts and better selling points with a dual camera. Read: Oneplus 10R Lite: What will it offer? The main sensor itself performs on average. Then again, users will be wrong to expect premium performance out of a device that is priced under 15,000 BDT. The lens can take decent pictures in direct sunlight and well-lit environments. Just like its predecessor, the problem starts in low light. Images appear to be grainy and with a lot of noise. This isn’t a phone which will necessarily be known for its camera. Rather it’s a feature Infinix is still yet to perfect. Processor and Performance Speaking of perfecting, Infinix has brought a resounding improvement in the processor and performance department. Most of the competitors in this price range including the Hot 11 was powered by the entry-level MediaTek Helio G35. The G30 series from MediaTek does only the bare minimums and simply registers its presence as a processor. Infinix has moved away from the partnership and opted for the UniSoc T610 processor built on the octa-core architecture. And this simple choice has made a world difference in performance. Even on paper, the UniSoc processor performs almost double that of the G30 series from MediaTek. Read Vivo X80 Pro 5G Review: Is it a reasonable flagship Smartphone? The device blazes through every type of day-to-day task thrown at it. We tried gaming on the device and it didn’t let us down there as well. The device can run 3D games like PUBG in high settings without any visible stutter. But there are some frame drops here and there and the device does get slightly heated owing to the plastic build. Overall, the performance of the Hot 12 Play is a huge upgrade from the previous generation. It is still a perfect device for everyday casual use. But users can now throw in some games here and there and play along as the name suggests. The OS here is the same XOS based on Android 11. Given the budget constraints, we would suggest not to expect an update to the Android 12 anytime soon. Read Infinix Hot 12 Review: Is it a good budget Smartphone? Battery and Charge Time The Infinix Hot 12 Play comes with a non-removable 6000 mAh battery. The high battery can easily power the device for 7 to 8 hours of continuous use. But the limiting 10W charger means topping this huge battery up will be a time-consuming process. Price of Infinix Hot 12 Play The Infinix Hot 12 Play is officially available in Bangladesh in 2 variants. The 4GB/64GB variant will cost 12,999 BDT and the 4GB/128GB will cost 13,999 BDT. The price is subject to change. Verdict The Infinix Hot 12 Play in all its glory is still a hit and a miss from the budget brand. While the design, performance, and overall usability have increased over the last iteration, there are still areas like the camera and the OS that require a major upgrade. Infinix should definitely look into these aspects in order to truly diversify its customer base. Or else they might get stuck in the loop that they themselves created – a niche of devices specifically catered for the low-budget client segment.
