Infinix HOT 20 Series Global Roll-out Continues; Premium Performace at Meagre Cost

Succeeding their Hot 12 catalog, Infinix unveiled Hot 20, Hot 20s, Hot 20 Play, and Hot 20i last month. Amid the global roll-out, the chain unveils sub-entry-level Hot 20 & 20i Duo in Malaysia, affirming that the Hot 20 Catalog is indeed on its way to Pakistan and could launch soon (taking the usual debut roster into account). 

Both smartphones have exceptional specs-to-price value, featuring more giant screens, expandable virtual RAM options, and long-lasting screen-on countdowns. Here's a detailed overview.

Infinix HOT 20

Boosted by an immense 5000mAh cell, HOT 20 boasts an Helio G85 chip under the hood. It's a 12nm-based octa-core CPU that can clock at up to a max of 2.0GHz. It bears an integrated MALI-G52 graphics processing engine too.

HOT 20 brings an extra-sized 6.82-inch screen capable of bumping the refresh rate to 90Hz. The screen has a minimal non-intrusive punch hole hiding the selfie shooter. Since it's a low-cost phone, its pixel count caps at 720p (263 PPI).  

The model features 6+128GB RAM/storage with a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP selfie camera, an Android 12-based OS, a side-facing biometric, and 18W-fast wired charging. The price for this particular variant translates to ~27,500 Pakistani rupees.

Infinix HOT 20i

The second device in the queue is a slightly spec-trimmed version of the standard model HOT 20. With the cost cut down to ~23,000 PKR (translated from Malaysian RM), HOT 20i bears a MediaTek Helio G25 chip powered by a 5000mAh battery and linked with 4Gigs RAM plus 128Gigs storage.

With its 720p IPS screen, Hot 20i's 6.6-inch display limits the refresh rate to 60Hz. Memory fusion can bump the RAM by 7Gigs virtually using in-built storage. Using 13MP primary camera, the model shoots 1080p videos @ 30FPS.

With its drop-notch screen, the phone carries an 83% screen-to-body ratio paired with a 267 PPI density. Essentials include a fingerprint reader mounted on the back, Micro-USB & 3.5mm audio ports, Dual-band WiFi, and Dual-SIM support. you can expect the upcoming Hot 20 series to be retailed close to the Infinix Hot 12 price in Pakistan.
