Infinix, the Chinese OEM brand recently launched its Hot 40 series with three smartphones. Sitting right between the Infinix Hot 40 Pro and Infinix Hot 40i is the Infinix Hot 40. In this article, we will discuss the Infinix Hot 40 Pro, its specifications, expected price in Nepal, and so forth!
Infinix Hot 40 Overview
Design and Display
The Infinix Hot 40 series of smartphones all follow the same design blueprint. Given that — it is a rounded rectangle phone with a flat design and a squircle camera island with three camera bumps on the back. The thing measures 8.25 mm in thickness and weighs 196 grams. Meanwhile, it is available in four colour options, namely Horizon Gold, Starlit Black, Palm Blue, and Starfall Green.
In terms of display, we are getting a 6.78” IPS LTPS LCD panel with a centrally aligned hole-punch camera cutout. It is an FHD+ display with a 1,080 x 2,460 pixels resolution and is capable of a 90Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it also offers a touch sampling rate of up to 270Hz, peak brightness of 500 nits, and a typical colour gamut of 85% NTSC.
Performance
Moving on to performance, the Infinix Hot 40 ships with a MediaTek Helio G88 — which is a budget midrange chipset. It is an octa-core processor built on a 12nm fabrication process with a peak clock speed of up to 2,000 MHz.
Furthermore, it is coupled with 8 gigs of LPDDR4x RAM, that can be extended to 16 GB virtually. On the other hand, we are getting two storage options of 128 GB and 256 GB. We can also expand the storage up to 1 TB via a MicroSD card.

Camera and the rest
The Infinix Hot 40 comes with a three-camera setup on the back. This setup comprises of 50MP primary shooter together with a 2MP Macro lens, and an “AI Cam”. The AI Cam is most probably a depth sensor helping out with bokeh effects. Meanwhile, on the front, we have a 32MP camera with fixed focus.
Powering the entire unit is a 5,000 mAh battery cell that can be juiced up by a 33W charger. The Infinix Hot 40 supports dual SIM with 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, as well as NFC for wireless connectivity. In the meantime, it also comes with a headphone jack, stereo dual speakers, and a Dynamic Island-like “Magic Ring” feature.
