Design & Display

The design of the Infinix Hot 9 is top-notch. Top-notch in the sense that it took a transition that is right on time. As days continue to roll by, we are beginning to see the notch gradually slip away in the smartphone market in Nigeria.

It is not surprising to see the Infinix Hot 9 taking a step further in regards to her design. If it had stood in her normal position or maybe a step low, there is hardly anyone who would think it through in Nigeria.

The placement on the Infinix Hot 9 is traditional to the core.  Starting from my right is the volume and power button, the sim tray is on the left while the speaker grill, Micro USB port, microphone and 3.5m headphone jack are at the bottom. The top is however empty.

The Infinix Hot 9 comes with a gorgeous looking 6.6 inch IPS HD+ Infinity-O display which of course is the latest display trend in Nigeria in 2020. The display gives you enough surface area to get a perfect view of whatever it is that you are viewing.

The display is good for online media consumption. It comes with a standard 1600 x 720p resolution that will let you watch the latest movies on Netflix, stream music videos and also play mobile games in Nigeria.

Aside the visual aspect, the audio sound is wonderful. Infinix upgraded the audio sound quality of the Infinix Hot 9 by smashing in the DTS audio processing. As you watch, you listen and enjoy.

Camera

At the top left corner of the Infinix Hot 9 is an 8MP front facing camera that is good at taking nice selfie photos in Nigeria. It has a 3264 x 2448 max camera image size with wide coverage.

A simple flip over to the rear will introduce you to her chains of cameras, an AI quad camera setup I will say: A 16MP + 2MP + 2MP + QVGA with Flash. The camera has a macro lens that grant you access to more details with closer objects.

Also, the popular AI beauty mode that intelligently beautify images with AI Beauty Mode function and create your own beauty style while capturing in this mode can be found on the camera app of the Infinix Hot 9 in Nigeria.

Battery

The Infinix Hot 9 comes with a bigger battery capacity that can power you on for days without the need to recharge in Nigeria. What we have here is a 5000mAh battery that can last for 4 days with light usage.

According to Infinix, the power capacity has improved significantly by over 20% from earlier Hot series generation phones, allowing the Hot 9 to take care of all your power needs in the current fast paced world of mobile connection.

Okay! You get up to 33 Hours talk time and 35 days of standby time. There is also a smart power saver that helps to optimize power conservation for longer use. It improves overall standby time by approximately over 10%.

Software & Specs

The Infinix Hot 9 comes with the XOS 6.0 UI based on Android 10 Operating System. It has the Helio A25 chip inside. On the storage configuration, we’ve got a 3GB/4GB RAM and 64GB ROM which have option for expandability via micro SD card up to 258GB.

Final Thoughts

The Infinix HOT series have come a long way. Form first generation Infinix Hot to the present Infinix Hot 9 of 2020, there is definitely a lot to talk about in span of 9 years, i believe there is more to say when it clocks 10 years in Nigeria.

All said and done, there have been some upgrades here. We cannot deny the fact that the Infinix Hot 9 has her strongest point when it comes to design. That is by far the biggest upgrade on this device.

The software is number two, with Infinix installing the XOS 6 UI with Android 10 here is indeed awesome. Don’t forget that Infinix has one of the best user interface you can find on a budget smartphone in Nigeria.
