Infinix mobility is back with another addition to its Hot-series and it is none other than the Infinix Hot 6X. Featuring a crafty notch and some nice specs to follow, the smartphone is still very much a budget smartphone. However it’s high time, Infinix stopped touting a Qualcomm chipset as a solid feature knowing full well it is a low-tier SoC. There is also the fact that Infinix is using the word AI camera on the smartphone which just shows smarts instead of artificial intelligence.

Design and Display
The Infinix Hot 6X smartphone sports a plastic body with a notch adorning the top of the screen and a dual rear camera lined at the side. Besides, the screen has a minimal amount of bezels with the sides having the least portion of it.
There is the fingerprint scanner in a pleasant position at the back with Infinix written under and the Hot branding at the far bottom. Common to the Hot series, it has a red, black gold and blue option.
One of the good thing about the display is the large size which is accompanied by the HD+/resolution. If you are a fan of the notch, you’ll find the Infinix Hot 6X a better deal. On the other hand, the 6.2-inch of screen space is not a bad deal at all on a budget.
Battery and Camera
It is quite nice that the smartphone has a great battery capacity on it with a stated 2 day battery life according to Infinix. A number of Infinix phones have a battery somewhere in the region of 4, 000 mAh which is exactly what you have here. No fast charge included and it has the MicroUSB port on it same has a bunch of other budget smartphones like the Infinix Hot 6.
The Infinix Hot 6X is one of those budget mobile phones with the dual facade at the rear. As it usually is, the extra 2MP camera is meant for bokeh shots while the main 13MP camera does the bulk of the work. All of the cameras on the phone are labelled as AI cameras including the 8MP front camera which also doubles for the face unlock.
Hardware and Software
Now to the highly proclaimed Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, I’m glad to tell you it is a Snapdragon 425 processor like the Infinix Hot 6 Pro. Also, there is the Adreno 308 GPU which means gaming won’t really be much of a thing especially the heavy ones. The Infinix Hot 6X comes in two variants, there is one with 2GB RAM and a 16GB internal storage.
A more premium version offers 3GB RAM as well as 32GB storage space. On the other hand, a memory card space is available to increase the storage up to 128GB. On it there is Android 8.1 Oreo which makes it the closest to the latest Android 9.0 Pie out there.
