The Infinix Hot 40 Pro has the best primary camera with a 108MP sensor. Next to it, on the back, there’s a 2MP macro shooter and what’s listed as an “AI cam.”

The selfie shooter has a 32 MP sensor and is located inside a hole around which Infinix has created a magic ring, a dynamic island-type notification zone. Provides information when your phone is unlocked, charging, or in use during a call.

The Xboost engine is a kind of Infinix game launcher that allows for “better stability” while gaming. It has three levels for three different levels of immersion in the game played. Otherwise the phone runs XOS 13.5, based on Android 13.

According to Infinix, the Hot 40 Pro’s battery can charge from 20% to 75% in 35 minutes with the 33W charger provided in the box. Furthermore, the cell can withstand 1,600 charging cycles, which is over 4 years of daily phone connection.

The vanilla Hot 40 shares most specs with its Pro sibling, including its footprint, 5,000 mAh cell with 33W charging, and 6.78-inch LCD display. The panel is limited to a 90Hz refresh rate but, for some reason, got a better touch sampling rate – up to 270Hz.

Another difference is the main camera. The Hot 40 features a 50MP f/1.6 shooter, paired with the same useless 2MP + AI macro cameras. Thankfully, the selfie camera is 32MP, once again hidden inside the Magic Ring.

The Hot 40 has a more modest 12nm Helio G88 chipset with a 2.0GHz CPU at. RAM is 8GB, while storage is 128GB or 256GB.

The Infinix Hot 40 is available in the same four colors as the Pro: blue, gold, black and green.

InfinixHot40i

The Hot 40i is the most affordable phone in the series. It comes with a Unisoc T606 chipset with an octa-core CPU with two Cortex-A75 performance cores at 1.6 GHz and six Cortex-A55 units for efficiency at 1.6 GHz. The GPU is Mali-G57 MC1 with frequency 650 Hz.

The display is also a downgrade: a 6.56-inch LCD with HD+ resolution, but at least Infinix has kept the 90 Hz refresh rate and introduced a 180 Hz touch sampling rate. RAM is 4 GB or 8 GB, while the storage space is 128 GB or 256 GB.

The Hot 40i’s camera island is similar to the Hot 40 and Hot 40 Pro and sports a 50MP primary camera and an AI camera. However, the 32 MP selfie camera with Magic Ring is maintained. The launcher has been updated to XOS 13.0, but should still use Android 13 as its base.

Another downgrade the phone makes to maintain a low price is charging: the 5,000 mAh battery is limited to a speed of 18W.
