The Infinix Hot 10s is a budget smartphone from Infinix Mobility released May this year and currently retails at around Ksh. 14,499. It's price is largely attributed to the memory capacity as it comes in a wide range of memory variants.
The Hot 10s is among the long list of Hot 10 smartphones with the others being the Hot 10, Hot 10 Play, Hot 10 light and Hot 10T. Being a budget phone it has a spec list expected of a phone at it's price including a big HD+ display, Triple cameras, 4GB RAM and no Gorilla Glass protection.
The Hot 10s features a 6.82 inch IPS LCD screen the same size as the Hot 10 Pro and the recently launched Infinix Hot 10T. It is slightly bigger than the 6.78 inch of the Hot 10. Like it's siblings it also comes with a HD+ display resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. This is still the same resolution in this price range and the only phone with a Full HD+ display that comes so close is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, a budget King that has some of the best specs and was way a head of it's time so that Xiaomi is planning to reintroduce in some markets.
Like other Hot 10 series the Hot 10s is also made of a Glass front, Plastic back and a plastic frame but with a lovely slim design that has seen the Infinix Hot series become one of the best selling budget Smartphones. It also spots a central punch hole that is now becoming a trend and it's very thin bezels gives this phone an almost full display front. Unfortunately the phone is not water resistant and has no Gorilla Glass protection so you will have to be extra careful with it.
Being a 2021 phone it ships with Android 11 atop the XOS 7.6 skin which still comes with alot of bloatware in the name of pre-installed apps and still has alot of unsolicited ads. This is still the biggest disadvantage of Infinix phones and we hope they do a better job next time. Unlike the Hot 10 and the Hot 10t which feature the MediaTek Helio G70, the Hot 10s is powered by a slightly better MediaTek Helio G85. This is a 12nm fabricated gaming chipset with a top clock-speed of 2.0 and can handle multitasking and gaming pretty well as compared to it's Competition.
You can choose between four memory Variants of 4+64 GB, 4+128, 6+64 or 6+128 available in either Black, Purple, Morandi Green or Heart of Ocean colors. These are the exact colors in the Hot 10T.
In the camera department the Hot 10s sports a Triple rear cameras and a single 8MP selfie camera. The primary lens is a 48MP which is more than good for it's price tag. The phone can shoot 1080p videos and we're yet to see a phone under 15k which can shoot 4k videos.
The phone is powered by a non removable 6,000 mAh battery the biggest in the Hot 10 series. This can last you up to three days with a single charge. Unfortunately it doesn't come with fast charge support meaning it will take you more than 3 hours to full charge it. Infinix have been good with their battery performance and we don't have anything to complain so much about here.
