V, 15 Oct 2020Better than redmi 9?Yes, kind of. It has better:
1. Performance:
- Infinix Hot 10 offers 4GB RAM while Redmi 9 offers 3GB RAM in this price.
- Xiaomi's MIUI is the heaviest Android OS, which offers lowest performance and battery timing.
- For gaming, Infinix Hot 10 has real Gyro sensor, so you can play Virtual Reality games - which isn't possible on Redmi 9.
The performance of Helio G70 and G80 is about same, so Infinix Hot 10 is better due to higher RAM and lighter OS.
2. Camera:
- Back camera: Infinix Hot 10 has 16MP camera which really takes good pictures. It can record 2K videos in good quality.
While Redmi 9 has 12MP camera with many disappointed users. It can only record videos in 1080p/FHD.
- Selfie camera: Both phones have 8MP selfie cameras.
But Redmi 9 has a lot complaints about its quality.
While Infinix Hot 10 selfie camera quality is impressive even in medium lighting and better than Realme 5i.
However, Redmi 9 supports Gcam. So its camera can be decent too if you can find a good one for it.
3. Display:
- Brightness: Infinix Hot 10 brightness is between 380-400nits, which is decent/usable for outdoors and comfortable when there is shade.
Redmi 9 brightness is only 330nits, which is too low for outdoors. But it can reach 420nits if you turn on Auto brightness.
- Resolution: Redmi 9 has FHD resolution, which is better.
Infinix Hot 10 has HD resolution, which although lower, doesn't look bad or pixelated.
Other things:
Redmi 9 has IR Blaster, which lets you use it as a remote for TV, AC and such. It also supports FHD screen mirroring.
I didn't check screen mirroring of Infinix Hot 10.

Franksoky , 15 Oct 2020I 've actually searched for INFINIX HOT 10 6gb ram-128... moreThey usually sell the lower spec'd version of their phones in Nigeria. They did it with their hot 8 series I think... You're better off getting some other brand, but if you want the one with higher RAM and storage, I think your best option is buying it from another country, maybe India...

Full Review:
Two of my friends have this phone.
Believe me, Infinix Hot 10 is a HUGE step up from previous Infinix phones! I compared it to 7-9 higher priced phones by Realme, Xiaomi, Samsung, Huawei and Infinix.
1. Performance/Chipset:
Helio G70 is the perfect and best chipset for gaming in this price. It can play PUBG in 40FPS by default on Smooth Graphics, and 40-50FPS with GFX Tool.
If you want better gaming performance than it or play PUBG on HD with at least 40FPS, then you'll need to buy Snapdragon 675/Snapdragon 710 or higher phones. You can play PUBG in HD on this phone as well, but minimum of 40FPS is necessary for smooth gameplay.
Like Realme 5 Pro, which costs much higher.
The gaming performance of Helio G70 & G80 is about same. You can't tell the difference.
Helio G85 of Redmi Note 9 also scores similar to Helio G70 in benchmarks, but its actual gaming performance is much lower due to bad app optimisation for this chipset.
The app opening, loading & closing speeds are fast. It doesn't stutter or lag even if you've many apps open at the same time. (Powerful chipset + 4GB RAM).
2. Display:
Display is definitely better than many of you will be assume. There is no visible pixelation when you're reading or watching the something on it - at normal hand distance. The colours are also nice/up to standard of competition.
Apart from resolution, the display quality doesn't seem any less than that of Realme or Xiaomi's phones that cost more like Realme 3.
Brightness & Visibility is also quite good. I was able to revise a test in university while sitting outside in shade at 11AM, without any trouble.
Its visibility was similar to my Realme 3, friend's Realme 5i and other phones that people there were using (except iPhone X, which had much more visible display).
For gamers, it also has real Gyro sensor, so you can play the trending Virtual Reality games on it as well (unlike 98% of the phones in this price).
Camera:
Its camera is much better than Huawei Y9 Prime 2019, which costs $100 more (Both selfie & back camera).
I care a lot about camera quality (details, noise levels, colours, white balance, contrast and so on), so. I was very impressed by it.
- The pictures were sharp - but not oversharp.
- Details were very good. It did not seem to lack in detail at all in medium light (inside house).
- Noise was controlled very nicely! The pictures came out very clear in medium lighting. There was no visible noise.
- The white balance has improved a lot compared to older Infinix phones. It's still slightly higher, but only enough to make the pictures/people look better (much better than Infinix Note 7).
- The colours were nice even in medium lighting and very accurate.
Tip: If you want to decrease white balance, just edit the pic in Google Photos.
Videos:
First of all, this phone can record videos in 2K!! The highest video resolution ever offered in this price by a phone. (Even Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 & Samsung Galaxy A31 don't have it).
Other phones can only record in HD or FHD.
Actual video quality is also great! I recorded both in Sunlight and Inside house and I liked the video quality in both conditions.
While recording inside house in 2K resolution, the noise was only present in places of "uniform colours" - but not too much (you won't notice it unless looking closely or pause the videos).
Note: It's normal to have high noise levels in 2K/4K videos in low light conditions. This phone handled it very impressively, while maintaining excellent clarity!
It also has Slowmotion, Portrait and some other camera modes. There are some filters similar to Snapchat in its camera, and they also work/are applied nicely!
I didn't check FPS of Slowmo, but it'll be minimum of 120FPS and maximum of 240FPS. At 1080p or 720p resolution, probably.
Camera conclusion:
Its camera quality easily competes with (or beats) higher priced phones by bigger brands. Including my Realme 3, friend's Realme 5i, another friend's Redmi Note 8 and Huawei Y9 Prime 2019 (also friend's).
- I liked its camera quality more than Infinix Note 7 of another friend.
Infinix Note 7 has extremely high white balance, which just ruins both pictures and videos. It ruins colours, details and overall clarity of camera. So I would recommend Infinix Hot 10 over Infinix Note 7 for cameras.
Only advantage of Infinix Note 7 in camera is that it supports Gcam.
Note:
Infinix Hot 10 doesn't support Gcam, as it has "LIMITED" Hardware Support Level ticked in Camera2Probe.
This means you can install some Gcam, but you won't see major improvements in camera quality. But I'd say it's not needed given how good its Stock Camera is.
Battery:
Battery is good as you'd expect. My friend used the battery it already had when he bought it for nearly 2 days.

In 10k, you are getting a powerful battery backup along with a MediaTek gaming processor. What else do you need?

lykwise, 05 Oct 2020I am going to buy the hot 10, won't I regret? You are over hyping this inferior product too much. There are flaws with it... Like:
1. You can't choose the network to send SMS
2. You can't update the Google Chrome browser
3. You can't update Google Keyboard...
4. It is also a scam to say that MTN Ghana will give you 12GB every month for 6 month...
Out of 5, I will rate the phone 2.5
I sold it now and I'm going for brand
In fact I loose interest in the Infinix Hot 10... It is a bomb
