Reviews for the Infinix Hot 10S
Just $120 USD can net you a fairly large 6.82-inch Android 11 smartphone and a sizeable 5000 mAh battery. There are some drawbacks, of course, but they're nothing most budget users can't live with.

Okay then – for the price of just RM499 – we’re getting a very good phone with great performance, a pretty decent screen, surprisingly competent software, and also a massive battery. The only major downside is the micro USB port. Oh – if you’re thinking that 64GB of storage is too little, then you can also expand it with a microSD card. Overall – I’m liking this phone. A lot. Much more than I initially thought I would.

The Infinix Hot 10S really offers a cost value lower than the industry’s standard price range for the entry-level smartphone. For just P6,990 for the 6GB/126GB and P5,990 for 4GB/64GB, it has a fluid 90Hz screen, entry-level gaming chipset, massive 6000mAh battery, and a 48MP triple cam. I can’t say for sure that this is the best budget gaming smartphone in 2021 since we’re only in the middle of the year. But for now, it offers features that are not only a gaming-powered machine but also a smartphone game-changer with an entry-level price tag. If it was paired with a better charger and UI design, or we didn’t encounter a lot of frame drops in the Genshin Impact that could be a different story.

Like what we said last time, Infinix hits the right spots with the Hot 10S as a budget gaming phone in the Philippines, and this MLBB edition is an added flex to highlight that. With a large display that has a high refresh rate and touch sampling rate, along with the best possible internals for its price and a large 6000mAh battery, it has hard to find any budget gaming smartphone that can match what the Hot 10S has to offer.

Remembering this is a low level budget phone, the Infinix Hot 10S has outdone itself. The phone provides a decent camera and a huge battery life. The phone hits the bullseye in terms of the purpose it is marketed for, providing the best gaming experience at a low cost.

$130 USD is incredibly cheap for a phone with the power the Infinix Hot 10S offers. It makes the omission of USB-C far more forgivable and further elevates how impressive the camera and battery life are for the price. This is a phone that is offering far more in specs than it should for the price, and that’s a win that far overcomes minor quibbles.

Even with its shortcomings, this smartphone is still a solid daily driver. You’ll get a 90Hz screen refresh rate on its large 6.82-inch display, a decent set of cameras, and a massive battery. If you’re a casual user who needs a device for streaming content and playing light games, this one will serve you well. The micro-USB port, though, can be a downer for some, but it’s not a serious disadvantage considering its asking price. At PHP 5,990 for the 4GB + 64GB and for PHP 6,990 for the 6GB + 128GB, the Infinix HOT 10S is one of the most affordable Helio G8-powered smartphones you can get right now.

When considering whether to purchase the Infinix Hot 10S NFC, keep in mind that you’ll need to know the current status of its availability in your area plus keep in mind how its warranty functions. With that said, it is a very impressively specced phone that offers a lot for under $200, even if it's not all perfect. If you want to get into mobile gaming without spending a lot, while having a really responsive phone to support that, consider the Infinix Hot 10S NFC.

For a budget gaming phone, Infinix hits enough marks to make a compelling option. The processing package has been dependable in this space, the almost 7-inch display and higher touch sampling rate is a boon, and the large 6000mAh is more than enough to get you through the day. We’ll have to test it out further to really see how it stacks up against some of its competition so make sure you stay tuned for its full review.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones.
