Infinix releases a lot of smartphones every year, and the Hot series is usually the mid-ranger, as it balances decent specs with an affordable price. The phone looks premium from afar, but the plastic back gives it a cheap feel when you hold it physically.

If you’re planning to get the Infinix Hot 9 in Nigeria, it’s essential to understand the phone’s specs to have a good idea of what you’re buying. That’s one of the reasons why this article exists; to help you learn about the specs of a Hot 9 in Nigeria.

What’s the Infinix Hot 9 Price in Nigeria?

The Infinix Hot 9 was an insanely popular device when it was first released, and it remains a popular smartphone in the Nigerian market. It’s still available in most Nigerian e-commerce markets like Jiji, Konga, and Jumia. Here is the Infinix Hot 9 price in Nigeria by the platform.

Infinix Hot 9 Price on Jumia

The Infinix Hot 9 is currently available on Jumia due to its age, as the e-commerce store is notorious for removing old devices from its store. We’ll keep an eye on Jumia for when it comes back in stock.

Infinix Hot 9 Price on Jiji

You can pretty much any model of the Hot 9 on Jiji, as the classifieds site lists many used and renewed devices. Here’s the Infinix Hot 9 price in Nigeria from a Jiji standpoint.

Infinix Hot 9 Price on Konga

Infinix Hot 9 Specifications

Here are some of the Infinix Hot 9 features:

Display

The Infinix Hot 9 uses the 6.6 inches IPS LCD you’ll find on pretty much any Infinix smartphone from 2020, apart from the high-end ones. For 2020, the display only qualifies for use on low-end devices at best, no thanks to its disappointing 720×1600 resolution.

The display on the Infinix Hot 9 is one of its most boring components, as it wouldn’t excite you if you’ve ever used a device from Tecno, Itel, or Infinix before buying the Hot 9.

Processor

The octa-core Mediatek Helio A25 processor is good enough for basic tasks on the Infinix Hot 9, as it can power the device without much stutter. Once you start trying to play demanding games or edit videos on the device, you’ll start seeing the limitations of the processor and its GPU.

Talking of GPU, the Hot 9 uses the PowerVR GE8320 for graphics, making it capable of running some of the top Android games without getting unusably hot.

Battery

The 5000 mAh battery on the Infinix Hot 9 puts it on par with almost every other smartphone from the manufacturer. Also, 5000 mAh is an impressive number, and considering that the Helio A25 is a pretty efficient processor, you should expect the Hot 9 to last a lot longer than alternatives like the Hot 12s with the same battery capacity but a stronger processor.

Cameras 

The Infinix Hot 9 uses a quad-camera setup but takes worse photos and videos than some competitors with one or two cameras. It uses a 13 or 16MP primary sensor with an f/1.31 aperture. The latter is for the 4GB/64GB variant; everything else uses the former.

Other cameras on the back include two 2 MP sensors, one for macro and the other for depth. There’s also a QVGA camera that’s pretty much useless. On the front, you get a single 8 MP pixel selfie camera that can shoot a maximum of 1080p video at 30fps. Surprisingly, the back camera also peaks at 1080p@30fps, which is disappointing.

RAM/Internal Storage

The device comes in several RAM/storage variants, so you should be intentional about which one you’re getting. There’s a 2GB RAM model with 32GB of storage, a 3GB RAM model with 32GB, a 3GB RAM model with 64GB, and a 4GB RAM variant with 128GB of internal storage.

If you’re getting the 4GB/128GB variant, your phone will also come with a 16 MP primary camera sensor, not the 13 MP on the rest.

Operating System

Infinix ships the Infinix Hot 9 with Android 10 on the XOS 6.0 skin, which is beautiful and user-friendly. However, when it comes to upgrades, count this smartphone out, as Infinix doesn’t seem interested in bringing any newer versions of the OS to the Hot 9 three years later.

Biometrics

Like most other smartphones from Infinix, the Infinix Hot 9 features a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner for device unlock and authentication. You can use it to sign into your bank apps and lock sensitive apps on your device if you set it up correctly. The device also features an accelerometer, a compass, and a proximity sensor.

Price

Smartphones from Infinix are generally inexpensive, but the Infinix Hot 9 is one of the cheapest ‘good’ phones from the brand. With features like a fingerprint scanner, a quad camera setup, and an enormous battery, the Infinix Hot 9 remains one of the few options available for a decent device when you’re not willing to spend a lot.
