On Friday last week, I was glad to be part of the launch of Infinix Hot 30 Series at KICC. The launch was a vibrant and entertaining affair, showcasing the latest additions to their smartphone lineup, including the HOT 30, HOT 30 Play, and HOT 30i models. The event was full of colors and excitement, reflecting the fun and dynamic nature of the HOT 30 series. The new series boasts remarkable enhancements in processor speed, screen quality, fast charging, and video capabilities, making it the ultimate gaming phone with top-notch performance and lightning-fast charging that outpaces its peers.

I have the phone with me, or review and I cannot wait to use it for some time and give a full review. In the meantime, here are some features that stand out already and that you will love.

Built for mobile entertainment

Infinix understands that mobile gaming is a popular way for young people to unwind, but traditional mobile phones often fall short in providing a satisfactory gaming experience due to their low image quality, high heat generation, and unstable network speed. To solve these issues, Infinix has launched the HOT 30, a high-performance gaming phone that delivers excellent image quality, low heat generation, and strong network speed, ensuring an enjoyable smartphone gaming experience.

Powered by a robust Helio G88 processor with an 8-core architecture design, including two powerful ARM Cortex-A75 cores with a maximum frequency of 2.0GHz, the HOT 30 runs games quickly and smoothly. The phone also features up to 16GB of expandable memory, doubling the performance of the physical 8GB memory, allowing for faster loading times and the ability to run up to 18 applications simultaneously.

In terms of software, the HOT 30 integrates the advanced Dar-Link 3.0 gaming engine, providing intelligent load sensing and stage-specific cooling strategies to ensure stable 3D gaming. The phone also supports Link-Booming network optimization technology for multi-network concurrency, allowing WiFi and data to work together for seamless connectivity during crucial moments. The XArena gaming space, designed for gaming enthusiasts, features cool icons that create a gaming atmosphere and easy-to-spot real-time game status, creating the perfect gaming environment.

 

Powered for the day

Smartphones are not only required to have powerful performance, but they also need to have a long-lasting battery life. The HOT 30 series recognizes this demand and comes equipped with a 5000mAh battery that can last for an entire day. Additionally, the HOT 30 features the exclusive Power Marathon power-saving function, allowing the phone to stand by for a whole day or operate continuously for two hours at 5% battery capacity. This function ensures that users can enjoy uninterrupted gaming experiences while on the move.

For gamers who need a quick battery boost during critical moments, the HOT 30 is equipped with 33W fast charging technology. This charging technology is approximately two times faster than the previous generation, allowing the phone to charge up to 55% in just 30 minutes. The combination of a 5000mAh battery and 33W fast charging makes the HOT 30 an ideal choice for epic weekend group gaming sessions and can support avid gamers until the very end.

Experience ultra-bright gaming in style

The HOT 30 offers an exceptional gaming experience thanks to its 6.78-inch perforated screen, featuring a high resolution of 1080P, a high refresh rate of 90Hz, and a touch sampling rate of 270Hz. This ensures a clear and smooth display with responsive touch controls for quick gameplay. Additionally, it features self-developed dark area display enhancement technology that enhances outdoor visibility, providing maximum brightness of 600nit and a color gamut of 96% DCI-P3 for stunning visual performance.

The HOT 30’s design features a unique light aesthetic on the back that creates dynamic shadows, making it stand out from other phones in the market. Its side fingerprint scanner is highly sensitive and efficient for convenient unlocking. The phone also has a slim body, dual-speaker design, and DTS technology, which provides an immersive 3D surround sound effect for gaming and viewing. Other practical features include NFC, making it a comprehensive flagship model.

Crystal clear optics

The HOT 30 boasts a 50-megapixel main camera lens with a larger F1.6 aperture, providing greater light intake and a multi-frame overlay algorithm that enhances night shot quality and offers a range of night filter styles. These features make it an ideal choice for photography enthusiasts, whether capturing moments on busy city streets at night or stunning landscape shots. In addition, the HOT 30 offers a film mode with plenty of editing templates, allowing users to easily capture vlogs without the need for editing, soundtracks, or transitions.

The HOT 30 series, with its competitive price and exceptional gaming experience, is expected to make waves in the smartphone gaming industry in 2023. Infinix is dedicated to providing fast and comfortable experiences through affordable top-of-the-line gaming phones that are accessible to today’s youth.
