Infinix - a brand established 10 years ago
known for manufacturing affordable gaming phones has released an interesting low mid-range smartphone called HOT 20 5G
in today's video I'm going to show you everything you want to know about Infinix Hot 20 5G
a mid-range fan which combines the MediaTek Dimensity 810
with 120hz IPS display
128 gigabytes of storage and 5000 mAh battery
this budget gaming phone comes in three colors
and retails for around $200 which represents a good value for money
hi what's up guys - my name is Adam - and you're watching #FamilyPopTV YouTube channel
before we get to testing and comparisons let's check what's inside of that fancy looking green packaging
straight away we are welcomed to the Infinix family
and there's a one XOS dollar note
oh that's nice
we got here a quick guide and a bumper case
the phone itself
a standard 18 Watts charger with dedicated USB-C to USB-A cable
and here we got - the Infinix Hot 20 5G unboxed
it's a good looking phone with a solid built and secure enough grip
with its 8.9 millimeter thickness
its size and weight of 204 grams are just right to be considered a pocket friendly device
as mentioned earlier the phone comes in three color variants:
- racing black
- blaster green
- and space blue - and all of them colors look great with a classic design layout that gives them an elegant appearance
however the body of the phone is made out of cheap plastic
but it has got a combination of glossy textures that wrap around the main camera module
and below that a stripe-like design appears with Infinix branding
overall the build quality of the Infinix Hot 20 5G and its lesser version Hot 20 4G is pretty much okay-ish
since they were released in the budget segment
at the right side of the phone we got a volume rocker and a fingerprint reader
a dual SIM card and micro SD card slot can be found at the left side of the phone
at the bottom of the frame there is an USB-C port for plugging the charger or OTG devices
a mono speaker - yeah it has only one speaker
audio mini jack for the headphones and a microphone
the construction is splash resistant however I wouldn't risk throwing it to the water
but in may withstand some accidental splash
the display is a 6.58 inch IPS LCD panel that grants 120 hertz refresh rate with a HD resolution of 2408 * 1080 pixels
with 20:9 ratio and 500 nits of brightness which is certainly enough for the outdoor usage
it might not have as many colors and the contrast as the AMOLED panel
still the viewing experience is not that bad
the phone has a 50 megapixels primary lens with a QVGA depth sensor to enhance the overall camera aspect
the front camera has only 8 megapixels however it receives Google AI software support
let's take a look at a few photos snapped with the Hot 20 5G
and before we carry on make sure you're subscribed
a little comparison - on the left photo taken by Infinix and on the right iPhone 13
Infinix has 10x zooming but the quality is absolutely awful when comparing it to the iPhone
screen recording on both phones - snapping photos and zooming
unfortunately the Infinix hasn't got a wide lens like iPhone has
and again the zoom in comparison
I would definitely avoid zooming
now the photo taken in low light condition
the Infinix is losing the details despite the heavy Google AI processing
now the zoom again - it's a striking difference between the two
here the AI detected the portrait and automatically cuts out and blurs the background
thanks to its 2 megapixel depth sensor
let's look a little closer
it's not perfect but thanks to fast Dimensity 810 processor there's no visible pixelation on a cutout
another comparison - with the Xiaomi 12T - can you tell the difference?
let's compare the video quality captured on Infinix
with the same footage captured on Xiaomi 12T
and as you can see the Infinix hasn't got any image stabilization so the video is very wobbly
I'll prepare the comprehensive review of Xiaomi 12T soon so please checking back
now video from Infinix against the same footage captured on iPhone 13
both videos are captured in HD resolution and 30 FPS
despite the amount of details recorded by Infinix all that shakiness gets annoying
but please don't forget this is a phone in a budget segment
the phone comes with Infinix's own OS skin called XOS which is built on Android 12
we are getting loads of exciting customization options
so that the interface settings can be easily adjusted
it also comes with several bloatware and few pre-installed system apps
the phone has a 6 nanometers MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset
that supports budget tier 5G connectivity with pretty decent processing power to manage your daily activities without any trouble
the CPU has two ARM Cortex-A76 cores clocked up to 2.4 gigahertz
and six supportive ARM Cortex-A55 clocked to 2 gigahertz
as well as ARM Mali-G57 graphics processing unit with the HyperEngine 2.0 gaming technology
moving to the internal storage section the Infinix comes with a 64GB to 128GB space
with 4 gigabytes of RAM which is basic but still sufficient
the storage can be expanded with the external micro SD cards with the total capacity up to one terabyte
that's ideal to store recorded videos photos music or movies
the phone gets the Antutu score of nearly 400.000 points which is significantly more than the popular Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G
but slightly less than the Realme 10 which I have reviewed not long ago
now let's check a few popular and processing power hungry games:
first - the Asphalt 9 Legends - one of the best looking racing games ever made on Android phones
the graphics details is set on high quality
the FPS raid on 50fps - however in a very busy moment there might be some drops in the FPS
but still everything looks fantastic as for the budget phone
the next game - one of the most popular shooters - Call of Duty Mobile
the phone offers medium graphics quality in default mode and 60fps
and again the game runs smooth but occasionally the frame rate drops to 30 FPS
[enemy airstrike incoming careful]
now one of the most popular mobile games PUBG which runs on medium graphics settings
as you can see the amount of details has been limited but still looks good
the game run pretty fine without many annoying lags and I was able to run through it and the graphics looks pretty good
overall the Hot 20 5G has demonstrated outstanding stability during gaming
this means that even when running at peak performance for the prolonged periods of time the phone won't throttle and doesn't get hot
on the contrary - after an hour of intense gaming it's barely got warm
the last test - the game which is probably the hungriest for the processing power - the Genshin Impact
the game run pretty fine without many annoying lags
overall the phone offers excellent performance and stability for its price bracket
Hot 20 5G has a 5000 milliamp hours battery on board
which can be charged in about one and a half hours using its dedicated 18 Watts standard charger
unfortunately the phone doesn't support wireless charging but a single charge lasts around 2-3 days of average use
intense gaming sessions however will deplete the battery in around 8 to 10 hours
to extend the peak performance of the battery I would recommend to stick to the "golden rule":
keep your battery topped up somewhere between 20% and 90% most of the time
top it up when it drops below 20% - but unplug it before it hits 100%
for this reason you might reconsider leaving it plugged in overnight
ultimately at this price range it's really hard to fault the Infinix Hot 20 5G
which has a good screen
good processor
an "OK" cameras
and reasonable battery life
things like the plastic body and lack of ultra wide camera can be forgiven
we're still getting a good phone for everyday use
casual gaming
snapping photos and capturing videos
considering its low price
