While there is no mention of some of the Hot 9 specifications like how fast it charges, Infinix reveals that it runs Android 10 on the XOS 6.0 platform. Additionally, it also boasts of the fingerprint and face unlock features.
However, Infinix Hot 9 clearly lacks the side-mounted fingerprint feature of Note 7. But the smartphone also has the DTS audio processing enhancement that its rival had brought. To take the sound experience to a higher level, Hot 9 will be introducing a feature that lets two or more devices synchronise together. This will be useful in outdoor situations where a group of friends can all listen to the same sounds at the same time.
In conclusion, the Infinix Note 7 edges the Hot 9 in many departments. For example, its Helio G70 processor has a higher (8 GB) RAM capacity than the Helio A25 (4 GB) RAM capacity. It is also faster. The Hot 9 also lacks the side-mounted fingerprint scanner and uses a smaller display as we have seen. In terms of pricing, we would have to wait until Hot 9‘s price is revealed before we can compare.
