Infinix launched the Infinix Hot 10 back in September 2020. However, there's an even better version for it in 2021: the Infinix Hot 10S. While Hot 10 was a nice budget phone then, the Infinix Hot 10S is here, and it brings more to the table!
As expected, it saw a nice upgrade in design, but that's now all. The Infinix Hot 10S opts for a more efficient MediaTek Helio G85 chipset and a smother 90Hz display with a 180Hz touch-sampling rate.
Not just that, Infinix Hot 10S wants you to enjoy more on a single charge, as it comes with a beefier 6,000mAh battery. The camera got substantial improvements as well. Up from 16MP AI Triple Camera on the Infinix Hot 10, the Infinix Hot 10S features a larger 48MP AI Triple Camera.
Add to that, this device runs XOS 7.6 based on Android 11 out of the box, meaning you're getting the latest stable version of Android and all the additional features Infinix offers on XOS.

Infinix Hot 10 Pro Features
Undeniably, the Infinix Hot 10S is a worthy upgrade to its predecessor, Infinix Hot 10, launched last year. From the improved hardware to the all-new XOS 7.6 software based on Android 11, here’s what you need to know about the Infinix Hot 10S before purchasing one.
Design and Display of Infinix Hot 10S
The Infinix Hot 10S took a bit from its predecessors' design, but it comes in a rather refined look. What's new here is the square-shaped camera bump containing the 48MP triple camera in circles, plus one other empty circle to fill the space. However, the Quad-LED flash is moved below the camera bump. This created another black segment, making the camera bump look rectangular from afar.
Overall, the Infinix Hot 10S has a solid polycarbonate build with brilliant color options. They are 95o Black, 7o Purple, Morandi Green, and Heart of Ocean colors, respectively.
On the front is where the deal starts. This device features a 6.82" HD+ screen with an IPS LCD panel. And unlike its predecessors in the hot series, the Infinix Hot 10S sports a fluid 90Hz refresh rate plus 180Hz touch-sampling rate. The higher refresh rate would help the screen display contents faster and render smoother animations. Also, the 180Hz touch-sampling rate makes the screen respond to your fingers faster. And that could as well increase the rate of winning your games.
Performance & Memory
Again, the Infinix Hot 10S is yet the most powerful device in the Hot series. Tech is evolving and Infinix seems to be catching along as well. The Infinix hot 10S is powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 chipset. This chipset is an Octa-Core processor clocked at 2.0GHz, and it's based on a 12nm process node. For improved graphics performance, the chipset is coupled with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU.
Add to that, the device supports up to 6GB of RAM, which when coupled with the processor is optimized for multitasking. You should be able to run most tasks and play most games without running into issues on this device.
Regarding the storage, the Infinix Hot 10S comes with a huge 128GB of storage. And, there's also a 64GB variant with 4GB/6GB of RAM. If that's not enough, Infinix devices, including this one, still supports micro SD card. And, hot 10S is expandable up to 512GB.
Cameras of Infinix Hot 10S
Of course, everyone likes taking pictures, and the Infinix Hot 10S has you in mind. Coming with a substantial upgrade from its predecessor in the camera segment, this device features a large 48MP AI Triple Rear Camera with Quad-LED flash. On the front is where you’ll get an 8MP AI Selfie camera, also with Dual-LED flash.
Since XOS 7.0, the camera interface on the Infinix device has gotten a lot better, and it’s not going back. Now, you’ll get features like Eye Tracking, Portrait Videos, Beauty Video, Short Videos, Super Nightscape, and many more.
In addition, shooting videos have gotten some improvements here too. You can now shoot in 2K@30fps, which delivers better video quality than 1080p. And since there's enough storage, nothing is stopping you from taking more beautiful, sharp videos on this device.
Battery & Charging
With a 6000mAh battery, the Infinix Hot 10S should be called a powerhouse. Besides the powerful Helio G85 processor and the 90Hz smooth display, the huge battery is something to check out on the Infinix Hot 10.
With this battery, you should be able to do whatever you like doing on your phone for a longer time without worrying about recharging the device.
And to help you elongate the lifespan of your battery, the Infinix Hot 10 comes with the Safe Charge technology developed by Infinix.
Software
The Infinix Hot 10S runs the latest version of XOS and Android respectively. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy all the latest privacy features and other improvements Android 11 brings to the table. And with XOS 7.6, Infinix brings more customer-centric features to this device.
