At the end of this article, we will give our opinion on the Infinix Hot 12i and tell you whether or not you should buy it. Without further ado, lets get started.
Design of The Infinix Hot 12i
The Infinix Hot 12i is one of the most eye-catching mid-range phones we’ve ever seen from the company. This phone isn’t going to stretch your palm or give your wrist a strain, with dimensions of 164.8 x 76.4 x 8.8 mm and a weight of 190g. You’ll have no trouble getting your hands around it and touching the power button and volume rocker on the right edge.
There are two key factors in addition to the great ‘sleekness.’
The curved-edge display, for starters, ensures that the device fits comfortably in your hand. The second feature is the smooth plastic on the device’s back, which is a pleasure to touch.
The camera hump doesn’t protrude far from the handset, so laying it flat on a table won’t result in an unstable phone.
There are four color options available: Racing Black, Horizon Blue, Haze Green, and Champagne Gold. A fingerprint scanner is also located on the phone’s backside.
Display of The Infinix Hot 12i
With a diagonal dimension of 6.6 inches, the Infinix Hot 12i screen isn’t too big and will provide a pleasant viewing experience whether you’re watching Netflix or surfing the web. The screen resolution is 720 x 1612 pixels, which is typical of most mid-range Android phones.
When compared to other phones with AMOLED panels, the Infinix Hot 12i has an IPS LCD panel, which means colors aren’t as vivid and have impressive contrast.
The Infinix Hot 12i has a maximum brightness of 480 nits and a refresh rate of 60Hz, which means the display refreshes 60 times per second, making motion (whether gaming or simply scrolling social media) look smooth. In the upper center of the screen, there is also a dewdrop notch.
Cameras

There are three cameras: a 13-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel depth camera, and a 2-megapixel AI camera. The main camera is complemented by a twin LED flash.
Pictures taken using the primary camera will have brilliant colors, outstanding contrast, and plenty of detail.
The front dewdrop notch houses an 8 megapixel front facing camera for selfies. There is also a front-facing LED flash for the selfie camera.
