The Infinix Hot 9 Pro looks premium but its bane lies in its performance
While Xiaomi and Redmi dominate the budget smartphone segment, Infinix also has some compelling options in that range. The brand has just launched two new smartphones called the Infinix Hot 9 and Hot 9 Pro. The Infinix Hot 9 Pro looks like a cut above the rest at least when you look at it from the outside. Is it really a worthwhile competitor in real life? Read on to find out in this quick review.
The Infinix Hot 9 Pro has a modern touch to it and has the cameras to back it up. However, a dated chipset and the exclusion of a Type-C port rule against the device. There appears to be very little that sets apart the existing Infinix S5 from the Hot 9 Pro. It seems to me that you can get a much more efficient workhorse for your buck in the Xiaomi or Realme stable than what the Infinix Hot 9 Pro offers.
Being a budget phone, design elements are not one of the Infinix Hot 9 Pro’s strong suites but it still stands out amongst its peers. The device has a polycarbonate unibody design with thick bezels surrounding the display which isn’t the prettiest sight, but it is what you get on many sub-Rs 10,000 phones. However, what sets the Hot 9 Pro apart is not the dual-tone finish or the diamond-like pattern on the back.
