Infinix Hot 50 5G 8GB RAM

The Infinix Hot 50 features a dual rear camera setup that includes a 48MP Sony IMX582 sensor paired with a 2MP depth sensor and an 8MP selfie camera. The primary camera is competent at taking detailed photos in daylight, though it can sometimes overexpose images, which can result in washed-out colours and subpar white balance. The primary camera also boosts colours noticeably, which might appeal to users who like vibrant images.It is especially evident in Green and Blue hues. Coming to human subjects, the phone does a good job of capturing skin tone, which are quite close to reality. The selfie camera's colour science is similar to the rear cameras, and the images are quite appealing, though details aren't as rich. 

The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC powers the smartphone, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage which is expandable up to 1TB. I received the 8GB variant for review and found the day-to-day performance quite satisfactory. It handled everyday tasks like browsing Instagram, using UPI apps, and streaming YouTube and Netflix smoothly. In terms of benchmarks, the phone is towards the top in this price range and can even serve as a casual gaming device.Our team tested games like BGMI, COD: Mobile, and Real Racing 3. On medium settings, it averaged 57 FPS on COD: Mobile and 27 FPS on BGMI. Lowering the graphics in BGMI can improve the FPS for a smoother experience. The Xarena feature also enhances the gaming experience.The smartphone runs on XOS 14.5, based on Android 14 out of the box. While Infinix hasn't confirmed any major OS upgrades, the phone will receive two years of security updates, which raises concerns about long-term support. On the plus side, the OS runs smoothly and isn't bogged down by excessive pre-installed apps. Since AI is trending, the phone includes some AI-based features, like an AI wallpaper generator. While it works most of the time, the results can be a mixed bag, so its best to temper expectations.One of the more useful features is AskAI, which activates when you long-press text, offering quick summaries and works seamlessly across apps. The phone also includes Dynamic Bar, a feature similar to Apple's Dynamic Island, showing animations during charging, music playback, calls, and more. For multitaskers, floating windows and the smart panel work well together. Additional features include MemFusion for virtual RAM expansion, XClone for app cloning, and a dedicated game mode to enhance your gaming sessions.Pre-loaded appsSoftware updates Infinix Hot 50472 years of security updatesitel Color Pro 5G45NARealme Narzo N65532 years of OS + 3 years security

A standard 5,000mAh battery fuels the smartphone and comes with 18W fast charging support. While we typically test batteries using the PCMark benchmark, this phone didn't play well with that test. Instead, using the 3C battery manager, it clocked in at 9 hours and 46 minutes of screen time, which is a decent result and should easily last a full day for most users. In my personal use, I didn't quite hit that number, but I got over 7 hours, which I was happy with.Infinix Hot 50itel Color Pro 5GRealme Narzo N65Battery 5000mAh5000mAh5000mAhCharging time 123 minutes (10W)111minutes (18W)149 minutes (15W)
