In the box.

The Infinix Hot 6 Pro’s retail package is virtually identical to that of the Infinix S3, except for the colour. Our review device came in a City Blue box, yours could be different. The box is generously filled with extra accessories – well above the average smartphone bundle. So, the retail box of the Hot 6 Pro contains the mandatory charger and a microUSB cable, as well as a pair of nice-looking white in-ear headset. A SIM ejector is provided as well. You also get a screen protector – not tempered glass, but it can get you started until you go out shopping for accessories. 

Design and build quality.

Infinix Hot 6 Pro is made of mostly plastic, which covers the back and all sides of the phone. The 2.5D curved display panel occupies the front part of the phone. The top part of the front panel houses the selfie camera, LED flashlight, notification light, ear piece and an array of sensors. Below the front pannel, there is nothing but a reduced chin. The right side of the phone is inhabited by the power and volume buttons while the left houses only the SIM card tray that also has the memory card slot. Whereas Infinix kept the top part clean, the bottom part was kept busy houseing the single loud speaker, micro USB port, microphone and the standard 3.5mm jack.

Display.

Infinix Hot 6 Pro has a 6″ Super HD+ screen of 720p resolution. It’s nicely saturated, it’s bright and contrasty, and has low reflectivity. The color rendering is great, with punchy colors, but not as punchy as an AMOLED screen. The Hot 6 Pro’s screen proved slightly brighter than the Hot 5 screen, and on par with the Infinite S3 display performances. Outdoors in the bright sun, the brightness comes a bit short though. But you can still read clearly from the screen without much effort.

Face Unlock and Fingerprint.

 Just placing the Hot 6 Pro at a reasonable distance from your face unlocks it, that’s all it takes. Capturing the face doesn’t require much effort either. Just open the included Face Unlock app to register your face. Face Unlock can be used to unlock the phone in the lock screen interface. The front LED panel can be used to illuminate the face in darker environments, so face unlock on the HOT 6 Pro can work anywhere.

Also included is a fingerprint reader at the back of the phone. It was intelligently calculated and placed where the index finger rests as you hold the phone. So unlocking the phone is pretty easy using this fast fingerprint reader. But just like many fingerprint readers, your finger has to be dry to read it easily. You can add up to five fingerprints which can be assigned different tasks such as unlock, unlock and launch particular apps or make a call. The fingerprint reader can also be used to take photos, accept calls, record calls (by long pressing) and dismiss alarms.

Connectivity.

Infinx Hot 6 Pro supports 4G LTE network with up to 150Mbps of download speed. It is also a dual nano-SIM device. The rest of the connectivity features include dual-band Wi-Fi b/g/n and Wi-Fi Direct. There is also support for Bluetooth 4.1, GPS and an FM radio. NFC isn’t available on the Infinix Hot 6 Pro. There is a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data connections. Media transfer mode is supported for accessing the phone’s built-in memory via a USB connection.

Battery life.

Infinix Hot 6 Pro features a 4,000mAh battery, which is similar to the unit powering the previous Hot 5. The Hot 6 pro couldn’t match the performance of its predecessor on heavy usage because it supports more battery demanding 4G LTE connectivity and a larger screen. But thanks to a more energy efficient Snapdragon processor, the phone survived through a full day. Charging the big battery is quick since the phone has Quick Charge 2.0 technology. Going from 0-100% takes about an hour.

 The Infinix Hot 6 Pro is powered by a newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset (as compared to the old SD 430 that powers the Infinix S3 —don’t mind the numbers) with an four CPU cores clocking at 1.4GHz. The processor was built for the entry level smartphones and power consumption of the chip is better. The processor is given a helping hand of 2GB of RAM for the 16GB variant of the Hot 6 Pro and 3GB of RAM for the 32GB variant. Our review device was a 2GB RAM version and we didn’t experience any lags during normal usage of the phone. The phone however slowed down when we played heavy games or switched quickly between apps.  Also,  there was noticeable lag in the first few minutes when mobile data connection was enabled. This is because of the different apps trying to sync to the network especially Messenger,  WhatsApp and Facebook apps. But after a while,  the snappy performance kicks in.

Camera

The Hot 6 Pro features a dual camera system at the back that can allow you to shoot portrait photos, since that is the in thing now. There is a 13MP main sensor under a lens with an f/2 aperture and a 2MP secondary camera that seems to aid in depth perception.

Using the 13MP normally, the shots turned out okay and they have a tendency to overexpose, especially when you touch to focus. The new portrait mode is the last one on the iOS like camera carousel. The phone usually suggests to make sure your subject is between 0.5m and 2m away to generate the effect.The front facing camera is a 5MP sensor with a f/2.0 lens and next to it is a really bright front facing flash which you can adjust its intensity (low-medium-high). 

That flash is great for shooting videos and selfies in lower light conditions and I wished this was on flagship phones. Both the primary and selfie camera shoot videos upto 1080p at 30fps.

THATS ALL FOR THIS WONDERFUL PACKED PRODUCT FROM INFINIX.
