Just a few months after the release of the Hot 12 and Hot 12i, infinix began the marketing of its latest Hot 20 series with four smartphone models. The new Infinix Hot 20 was launched alongside other variants like the Hot 20 Play, Hot 20i, and Hot 20 5G which brings a whole new camera module and upgraded camera specs

Additionally, the Infinix Hot 20 has a Mediatek Helio G85 processor which is paired with Mali-G52 2EEMC2 and expandable 128GB of storage.

The RAM comes in either 4GB or 6GB depending on the model you choose, while there’s a 5000mAh battery that features 18W fast charging support. Specifically, the Infinix Hot 20 claims to match the capabilities of some premium phones. The smartphone has a 50MP sensor on the rear which is incredible, but the performance is a different story.

Nevertheless, the Infinix Hot 20 performs like every lower mid-range smartphone you’ll find in the same price range.

Design and Display

One of the advantages of using lower mid-range phones is that they’re compact and easy to hold in one hand. So those who aren’t used to the big and bulky phones of today will like the design of the Infinix Hot 20. The smartphone is made from a plastic material which may not look all that premium but feels very solid to handle.

On the back, the Hot 20 appears in several colors that varies by the model you choose. You’ll also find a camera bump that houses two camera lenses with a Quad-LED flashlight. We noticed that the camera bump pops out a little which may make the phone wobbly when kept on a table, so you’ll need to make use of the provided silicone case in the box.

Turning to the front panel, there’s a 6.82-inch IPS LCD display that offers sufficient real estate for watching content. The Infinix Hot 20 features a 90Hz of refresh rate and 720 x 1640 resolution. The color of the display looks great, same as the brightness which makes the phone visible even under sunlight.

• The Infinix Zero Ultra is another great high-end device you can buy

Camera

The Infinix Hot 20 comes with an impressive camera setup on the rear. Though that’s just a two-camera setup, they can capture even more detailed photos than most cheap phones that flaunt numerous camera sensors. The main camera is a 50MP sensor that’s backed with an Al lens. It would have been perfect to complete the setup with a telephoto or ultra-wide lens, but an Al lens is nice anyways.

The main camera captures some great photos in good light scenarios where photos have bright and vibrant colors. Unfortunately, taking photos at night might just be a waste of time because the night mode may not offer any good results unless there’s a street light or ambient light support to brighten up the scene a little bit.

The front camera features an 8MP sensor which is good for capturing decent selfies. The 8MP sensor produces a decent amount of detail to make while capturing selfies to make the image of the subject stand out.
