Infinix Hot 9 Review and specification Best Budget Phone


The hole-punch display is uncommon in the sub 10050 price range and it's good to see it on the Infinix hotline this phone has a 6.6-inch display with an HD plus resolution this panel is decent for the price but the size isn't the best for single-handed use the display has decent viewing angles but brightness could have been better I am NOT a fan of the thick bezels around the display but Infinix has managed to hide a selfie flash in the top bezel near the selfie camera. this is very hard to spot when it is off but it also works at a low intensity as a notification LED. the fingerprint scanner at the back is quick to unlock the smartphone and so is the face recognition feature. 

Infinix shoots this phone with XO s6 based on android 10 and it was running the giant security patch which is quite old. while the UI has a lot of customization you won't have trouble finding your way around it. X OS has a lot of bloatware pre-loaded which is annoying but there is one feature that I think is really useful. in the Settings app under the name social turbo you will find lots of what's happened hands meters you can record waterfall speed stickers and also save WhatsApp statuses easily the phone also has a water tap mode that only allows this one app to access data while all the other traffic is blocked this could help you stay in touch when your battery is running critically low. I didn't have very high expectations from the Infinix hotline because it is powered by a relatively weak MediaTek helio p22 SOC in terms of your day to day usage you would not find any slowdown there but heavier apps and games low take longer to load. 

I wouldn't recommend this particular device for gamers as it takes a long time to load popular titles such as 4G mobile the graphics defaulted to smooth and the framerate at medium but I still noticed rutter during gameplay. the Infinix hot 9 managed to score well in our HD video loop test going on for 20 hours and 50 minutes. charging is a pain as the 10-watt charger takes easily over 2 hours to fill the battery completely. charging it for 30 minutes only got the phone to 21%. when the in finish hotline has a quad-camera setup I wasn't too happy with the camera performance and you can see the results yourself now in daylight the hotline shots were below average and it could only manage decent details on objects close to the camera it does not do a very good job at metering light and tends to overexpose the sky in a few shots for close-ups I noticed that the hotline would take some time to lock focus and the output was not as sharp as I would have liked. 

bokya mode lets you set the level of blurb before taking a shot and I took a few shots with this mode the edge detection wasn't great and blurring was inconsistent. the output from the macro camera is also not as sharp as I would have liked and the details are strictly average. in low-light, the phone manages to keep noise under control but the output has visible grain on zooming in photos aren't sharp and the objects at a distance have quite weak detail. selfies are decent but the colour tone was off in daylight in low-light selfies are not sharp but do have the same details and the flash is handy. 

video recording maxes out to 1080p but this phone lacks any kind of stabilization this results in shaky footage low-light video quality is below average as well and the lack of stabilization could render videos useless. the infinite hotline is designed with current trends in mind you do get a full punch display at a quad-camera setup. however, the phone overall fails to deliver on performance which is a deal-breaker for me the long time it takes to load apps reminded me time and again that this processor isn't fast it isn't only about the CPU performance though the cameras are also below average as well battery life is one of the only things that works in the favour of the Infinix hot 9.
