Editorial report

Infinix Hot 40 8 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet

The Infinix Hot 40 suits someone looking for an everyday phone with a large display, a 50 MP camera, and a standout f/1.6 aperture. Its main trade-off is performance: it is worse than most phones of its time, and its AnTuTu score is 250,000. The overall NeoScore is 5.4, a typical result among phones launched around the same time.

The 6.78-inch IPS LCD display has a 1080 × 2460 px resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. That refresh rate is lower than on most phones of its time, as is the 500-nit peak brightness. The 50 MP rear camera has an f/1.6 aperture, among the brightest of its time, and records video at 1440p and 30 fps. A 5000 mAh battery supports 33 W charging. Both battery capacity and charging power are typical figures for phones launched in the same period, rather than distinguishing strengths.

This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage; the Infinix Hot 40 is also sold with 8 GB / 256 GB. It includes NFC, stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and dual Nano-SIM support. Android 13 rounds out a practical feature set, while the camera aperture stands out against its contemporaries. Overall, the Hot 40 is a better fit for someone who values a large screen and a bright camera aperture than for someone who prioritizes performance or display smoothness.
