Design
The Infinix Hot 30i’s diamond cut design is quite familiar to us which we had noticed earlier on Realme 2 smartphone. In terms of looks and design, this smartphone is outstanding.
At first glance, you will not think you are looking at such a low-budget smartphone. The phone’s diamond-cut design reflects different colors when the light comes from different angles, giving the phone a more premium look. Although the back panel and frame of the phone are made of Polycarbonate, the phone feels quite solid and durable. At the bottom of the phone, we can see a speaker grill, USB type C charging port, mic hole, and 3.5mm headphone jack hole. There is no secondary noise cancellation mic on the top of the phone, it is completely plain.
The right side of the phone houses a volume button and a power button. The power button works as a fingerprint sensor also. The triple card slot on the left side of the phone has a SIM tray where two SIM cards and a memory card can be inserted. Although the phone has 128GB internal storage, memory card usage is amazing. The phone is available in different colors-Mirror Black, Glacier Blue, Diamond White, and Marigold.
Display
The Infinix Hot 30i smartphone comes with a 6.6-inch FHD+ display as well as a 90 Hz refresh rate. With a 180Hz touchscreen refresh rate, you can go smoothly from one app to another app.
The phone’s display has a waterdrop notch and at the bottom, there is Chin and Bezels. Indoor visibility is pretty good with 500 nits of brightness, but in outdoor or direct sunlight, visibility should be better.
A pretty smooth video is seen on youtube at 1080 resolution but the frame dropped while watching the video at 4k resolution.

Performance
Mediatek Helio G37 is used as a processor which is not much powerful processor. Normal games like Candy Crush, Subway Surfers, etc can be played on the phone, Moreover, the COD game can be played fairly well with the lower settings but when these settings are changed a bit, frame drops can be noticed. This phone is not suitable for heavy users or gamers.
The phone runs on Android 12. The phone has a lot of pre-installed apps which are so annoying. But some of these apps can be uninstalled. Inifinix claims that they will provide security updates for 2 years.

Camera
On the backside of the phone, there is a 50MP sensor and 2 large AI sensors. With a 50 MP primary camera, images are decent in direct sunlight. But images are not so well in low light. The phone has a 5MP selfie camera that takes fairly good images. But the portrait mode of the phone should be improved. Moreover, the night mode is not seen on this phone. With 30fps, you can shoot videos with the back and selfie cameras.
