Infinix has brought the HOT 40 to the Philippines, and as expected, it comes with an affordable price tag.
For a quick recap, the Infinix HOT 40 was introduced abroad with a MediaTek Helio G88 octa-core processor, with large 8GB of RAM and really generous 256GB of internal storage.
It also has a large 6.78-inch FHD+ display with a high 90Hz refresh rate and 270Hz touch sampling for gaming. There’s a pixel-dense 32-megapixel selfie camera on top of the screen, which is complete with its dedicated flash.

On the back, we have a sharp 50-megapixel main camera joined by a 2-megapixel macro lens. It also has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, face unlock, the standard 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

Infinix HOT 40 has a price of Php6,499 in the Philippines for the sole 8GB/256GB model. If you want a faster processor and a sharper camera, you can stretch your budget for just a couple of hundreds and go with the HOT 40 Pro.
