Editorial report

Infinix Hot 20S technical sheet

The Infinix Hot 20S suits buyers looking for a large-screen phone with a camera that has a wide aperture. Its main trade-off against phones launched around the same time is peak brightness, which is lower than most. The 6.78-inch IPS LCD display offers 120 Hz and 396 ppi, both typical figures for phones of its time. Peak brightness is 500 nits, below that of most phones launched around the same time, so brightness is the point to weigh when choosing it.

Its 50 MP camera has an f/1.6 aperture, among the best of its time. It does not have optical image stabilization. Performance and hardware are typical for phones launched around the same time. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, and storage is expandable.

Connectivity is also typical: the phone includes NFC, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.2, and Dual Nano-SIM. Its 5000 mAh battery and 18 W fast charging are typical figures for phones of its time. With a NeoScore of 5.1, the Hot 20S is a balanced option for buyers who prioritize a large 120 Hz display and a camera with a wide aperture, and can accept peak brightness below that of most phones launched around the same time.
