Infinix Hot 30, Hot 30i, Hot 30i NFC, and Hot 30 Free Fire are now official
Infinix has unveiled not one, not two, not three, but four new smartphones today, although they're all part of the same family and thus the similarities abound. Let's take them one at a time.
Infinix Hot 30
The Infinix Hot 30 comes with a 6.78-inch 1080x2460 IPS LCD touchscreen with 90 Hz refresh rate, 270 Hz touch sampling rate, and 580 nit peak brightness, the MediaTek Helio G88 chipset at the helm, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of expandable storage, and a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.
The phone has a 50 MP rear camera with 1/2.55" sensor size, an 8 MP selfie snapper, 4G connectivity, dual-SIM functionality, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and it runs Android 13. It is available in Racing Black, Surfing Green, and Sonic White.
Infinix Hot 30i and Hot 30i NFC
The Hot 30i boasts a 6.56-inch 720x1612 IPS LCD touchscreen with 90 Hz refresh rate, 180 Hz sampling rate, and 500 nit peak brightness. It's powered by the Unisoc T606 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage.
It has a 13 MP rear camera, an 8 MP front-facing shooter, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 18W charging. It runs Android 12, disappointingly, and can be grabbed in Mirror Black, Glacier Blue, and Diamond White.
The Hot 30i NFC adds NFC, as you'd imagine based on the name, but it also has twice the RAM at 8GB. The rest of the specs are identical to the Hot 30i.
Infinix Hot 30 Free Fire
Finally, there's the Hot 30 Free Fire edition, which is a Hot 30 that ships with a lot of Free Fire branded paraphernalia. You get a Free Fire key ring, a special Free Fire case, and a Free Fire medal as a SIM ejection tool.
The software of this edition comes with 46 Free Fire-themed widgets and icons, as well as wallpapers and sounds. There's also a special camera AR function that lets you take selfies as if you were a Free Fire character.
Infinix promises 60fps in Free Fire on average with high image quality settings, but the specs are identical to those of the Hot 30.
The Hot 30 series seems to already be available in at least some of the markets where Infinix is present.
