Infinix Hot 11 Review

 infinix hot 11 is a device i didn't think we'd see this year but here it is

it packs some improvements most notable being a 90 hertz high refresh rate display

50 mp main camera and that massive 6 000 milliampere battery but there are some noticeable downgrades too what's up guys izzy here and 

it's already december and not many devices are released around

this time of the year but infinix is not done just yet so you are looking at their latest addition to the hot series the infinix hot 11 which costs about 89 000 naira for the 44 gig version with 128 gigs of storage before this we've seen the hot 20 and hot 10 eye both of which were

released earlier this year

the infinix 11 should be an upgrade to the hotend from 2020 but to some extent many might not be pleased as it looks to come with a few downgrades not much has changed with design but the first design change you'll notice is the water drop notch design as opposed to

the left hook on style we saw with the hot 10.

on the specs part the infinite hot 11 is powered by the mediatek helio g37

as opposed to the more powerful helio g70 we saw on its predecessor last year and also on the hotenti we saw earlier this year the interesting part about this is that some regions get the hot 11 with the miniature g70 also with usbc and full hd 1080p display but we get the hot level with the j37 a 720p display and micro usb but hey we also get 90hz refresh rates a

massive six thousand milliampere battery and also the higher 50 megapixel main camera so i guess that compensates enough

the infinite level now comes in a much slimmer box than previously but it

doesn't lack any accessory the device aside we get is transferring protective casing it's charger a micro usb cable and a pair of earphones

there's also a screen protector already pre-installed on the device right from the box the design of the infinity hot 11 is noticeably different from the hot 20 but not that far from its predecessory

or 10. 

it has a camera bump on the rear much similar to the hot 10. also the fingerprint scanner remains rear mounted we've seen so much side

mounted fingerprint sensors lately therear mounted one is starting to feel old

but it has not lost its effectiveness it s still functional and pretty much fast

and as accurate as before the infinix 11 comes in a couple of

colors this one they call the exploratory blue the red design is segmented in two with the top half having more spaced out stripe pattern and the bottom half having closer stripes

it is a glossy rare finish but interestingly you don't see that much

smudges probably due to the color or the stripe pattern

all the spots and buttons remain in the expected positions we are still stuck with a micro usb port here as i've earlier mentioned the speaker on the hot 11 is a single bottom firing one which is descent and loud enough for a mono speaker the display of the infinix hot 11 is glass and just above it is a dual led flashlight for those that may want to take selfies in not so good lighting conditions

it is a 6.82 inches ips lcd display with a resolution of 720 by 1640 it is a

decent lcd display that gets bright enough for outdoor use it has a water

drop not for its selfie camera

most may prefer the left hook one style

on the hot 10. i also think that looks

better

the infinix hot 11 brings a high refresh

rate display at 90 hertz this is not

enabled by default but you can enable it

from the display settings

you can also keep it at 60hz to get more

out of the battery but come on it is a

6000mah battery you will likely get a

day and a half at the very least even on

90hz

so enjoy that fluid scrolling on

animation experience that it brings

the episode 11 comes with android 11 and

xos version 8.0

not very different from xos 10 we saw on

recent infinix devices like the note 11

series

this one is just a little extra on the

bloatware and ads but functions mostly

the same

compared to previous xos versions you

now have it feature packs with new

folder styles on the home screen also a

new notification on quick panel style

where you have to swipe from the top

right to get the quick panel tiles and a

swipe down from the left gets you the

notifications

xos 18 comes packed with features like

auto core recording kit mode big proof

smart panel game mode and plenty others

to explore

as is customary with xos bloatware apps

and ads come plenty you need to do some

uninstalling and disabling to get a

cleaner and uninterrupted experience

the influence of 11 while powered by the

hilo g37 is actually quite capable

my unit has 4 gigs of ram and 128 gigs

of internal storage it does great to

handle whatever you throw at it

the helio g37 is a recent processor by

mediatek for budget devices

i think it is still pretty new as the

hot 11 is the only device at the moment

powered by the g37

it has decent minima scores and i'd say

it's a little better performing than the

helio g35 we saw on techno's spark hp

it will not give you as much gaming

performance as the helio g70 on the hot

10 but it certainly holds up on other

aspects

battery life on evenings at 11 is pretty

solid with six thousand milliampere

capacity a day and a half is guaranteed

to charge it though you need to spend up

to three hours or even more charging the

device as it comes with just a micro usb

port and also does not have fast

charging

i guess that should not be a problem

because you may only ever need to charge

it at night thanks to its massive

battery

the cameras of the infinix hot levels is

a major upgrade over its predecessor

particularly its main rear camera it now

sports a 50 megapixel main camera which

is higher than the 16 megapixel we got

on the hot 10 and maybe just 2

megapixels higher than the 48 megapixels

we got on the l10 t

it's my camera is accompanied by a depth

sensor and an ai camera there are no

macro or ultra wide cameras here the

selfie camera remains unchanged at 8

megapixels

you'll find rear cameras to take really

good photos with good dynamic range for

a device in this category

photos are sharp and with good amount of

background blur when the subject is

close enough

you can even get sharper photos when you

choose the 50mp mode

there's no dedicated night mode on the

hot 11.

it's 8mp selfie camera does a good job

of getting you descent photos

it gets the job done both with regular

and portrait selfies

the infinix hot 11 is capable of

capturing videos up to 1080p at 30

frames per second from both its selfie
