FHD Display with Cinematic Sound
With 6.6" FHD+ HyperVision Gaming Display combined with 120Hz ultra-high refresh rate and 180 Hz Touch sampling rate, the smartphone offers incredible experience to users. We enjoyed a lag free and smooth touch experience. We could navigate across apps very easily and there was no lagging error.
It also has a 1900:1 colour contrast ratio and is backed by the latest DRE (Dark Region Enhancement) Sunlight Readable Technology. The tech senses ambient light using AI algorithms which refines the screen contrast, improves the picture's brightness and enhances the overall display in strong sunlight. The cinematic sound combined with HD picture quality gives a thrilling experience. We can confidently say that this smartphone is value for money as far as multimedia is concerned.
Uninterrupted 5G Network Connectivity
As the name suggests, HOT 20 5G assurer 5G connectivity nationwide as backed by all 12 major bands. The budget smart phone is facilitated with Dual 5G SIM ports powered by intelligent VoNR voice premium service that allows to listen to the high-quality voice at low latency at one of the SIM cards.
While 12 bands ensure data accuracy and call with 5G network, allowing you to play game using one SIM card and make a call on another at the same time. It all happened without affecting game server connection. This is very surprizing as in the budget segments, there are only few options available with 5G connectivity. Infinix has definitely done a great job here.

The processor ensures outstanding all-around performance with a dominant frequency of 2x 2.4GHz Cortex-A76 and 6x 2GHz Cortex-A55, which is 20% faster than its predecessor.
To give gaming enthusiasts an amazing gaming experience, Infinix has added Bionic Breathing Cooling technology which ensures that your phone does not heat significantly during extreme gaming or long use. We played several games on this phone to check the performance as well as heating issue but there was no such issue during our review period. This is ultimately a best performer under budget segment. In addition, the smartphone runs on XOS 10.6 which is based on Android 12.

This smartphone support Type C charging. The battery is very big and it can power this smartphone all day and we also tested the battery backup during our review.
We charged the phone only once and battery sustained all day which is a good thing because battery remains one of the major concerns in today’s time. With a single charge, we could listen to the music at a stretch of 125 hours, navigational of 20 hours and game play of around 11 hours.
How’s the Camera?
