It would replace the present Hot 6 and <a href=\"https:\/\/techrant.blog\/infinix-hot-6x-the-notch-is-staying\/\">Hot 6X<\/a> and even looks quite similar to the latter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive into the details, here are some distinctive features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>6.2&#8243; Full View Display <\/li><li>4000mAh Large Battery <\/li><li>13MP Dual Rear Camera <\/li><li>8MP Front Flash Selfie<\/li><li>Price: 42,000-46,000NGN<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Link I, Responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4883052312808999\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9573741801\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the Infinix Hot 6X, not much has changed. In fact, the screen size, cameras and battery capacity are exactly the same as on it&#8217;s predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DISPLAY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/techrant.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/f215d506-10e6-4d2c-b53d-b50ada993bc4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techrant.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/f215d506-10e6-4d2c-b53d-b50ada993bc4.jpeg 682w, https:\/\/techrant.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/f215d506-10e6-4d2c-b53d-b50ada993bc4-300x176.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 6.2&#8243; screen sports a HD+ TFT display (720&#215;1500). It&#8217;s a notched display\u2014for that all-screen look. And it seems Infinix has fully switched to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STORAGE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hot 7 has two options: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A 16GB option that ships with 1GB RAM. <\/li><li>A 32GB option with 2GB RAM. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s surprising to still see 1GB\/16GB phones released in 2019. Then again I guess there\u2019s still a market for basic smartphone users. In addition, there&#8217;s an option for SD card expansion up to 128GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CAMERAS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordpress-781699-4204212.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/dc14d6b5-b5a6-4ff0-877f-e0b32cc755c3.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Infinix cam.

Likewise a dual 13+2 setup at the back. While there isn&#8217;t a full-fledged 3D scanner array, Face unlock is available. Also, the rear cameras allow portrait mode. Video quality is pretty mediocre at up to 1080p @ 30fps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of Performance, the Quad-Core 1.3Ghz Cortex A7 CPU is just okay for normal day-to-day use. For a moment it looked like Infinix had fully switched to Snapdragon chips. However it seems they still tried to keep the cost down on this one. The Hot 7 will also ship with Android 8.1 (Go Edition)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Mobile (260x100) -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:260px;height:100px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4883052312808999\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6839098374\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery &amp; Connectivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery is rated 4000mAh.

That&#8217;s probably reserved for the Hot 7 Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You get the usual Dirac Audio, Dual Sim support, a headphone jack, a fingerprint sensor, micro-usb port and all the popular bandwidth coverages.

I&#8217;d really only recommend it for super-light smartphone users where the 1GB\/16GB option may present a cheaper alternative to a modern look and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides that, the lack of 4G and any significant improvement would mean anyone would be better off with the Hot 6X. I&#8217;d strongly recommend that or the Hot S3X as an alternative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you must use the latest in the lineup though, keep your fingers crossed for a Hot 7 Pro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Mobile (250x250) -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:250px;height:250px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4883052312808999\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2024414061\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Infinix Hot series got a refresh a few days back with the release of the Hot 7 and Hot 7 Pro.
