The cheaper Infinix Smart 8 Pro has a toned-down version of XOS 13 based on the Android 13 Go edition. In contrast, the Hot 40i has a full-fledged Android 13 with more features. It includes a Smart Panel feature that allows quick access to commonly used apps by swiping and pausing from the left or right edge of the screen. Additionally, it supports a three-finger swipe for capturing screenshots. The app hiding feature from the Smart 8 Pro has more capabilities on the Hot 40i, called XHide. It can be accessed by swiping up from the home screen with two fingers and lets you hide pictures, videos, apps, recordings, and documents.

Talking about the competition in this price segment first, the POCO M6 stands out for its performance, and could be worth a look for that, while those looking for 5G support can consider the Itel P55 5G. However, the Infinix Hot 40i’s highlight is its front camera. When people ask for phones with capable selfie cameras, we usually have to look towards higher price segments. Priced at Rs 9,299, the Hot 40i helps bridge this gap and comes across as a solid choice for selfie lovers at an affordable price point. The phone also brings a host of useful software features that add to the user experience, and therefore, comes across as a good buy in the sub-10k segment.

The Infinix Hot 40i offers various new features in comparison to the company's other budget devices. Features like Magic Ring, XClone, Xboost and others can come as a unique offering in the budget market.

Infinix designed the Infinix Hot 40i with exciting specs and features that make it a perfect smartphone on a budget for modern users. You get a modern design that will certainly please you and anyone else who sees it. You get a decent display with modern high-refresh-rate support. The cameras are good which you usually don’t see in a smartphone of this price range. The same goes for the battery and charger, no complaints. However, there are also some disadvantages. The chipset speed is decent, which may cause heating issues on low-RAM models. There’s also no protection for the display or any protection from water splashes. So, keep these in mind. However, if you are an average user and use a smartphone mainly for calling, texting, and social media, then we believe this smartphone can be perfect for you. There’s another smartphone that could provide the same experience.

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.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.66%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
