Infinix HOT 40 series
Infinix HOT 40 Pro
The HOT 40 Pro is the top-seeded variant of the Infinix HOT 40 series. It is built around a 6.78-inch 120Hz FHD+ LCD panel. It stands out among the three devices thanks to its 108MP main camera and the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset at the helm.
The main sensor is joined by a 2MP macro lens and an AI camera. On the front, it has a 32MP sensor with a Magic Ring, the company’s own take on the Apple Dynamic Island feature. The Magic Ring offers notifications including giving information when the phone is unlocked, being charged, or used in calls.
The device offers 33W fast charging and features an X-boost engine for enhanced stability during gameplay.
