Update:
Infinix Hot 9 and Infinix Hot 9 Pro Review
Both Infinix Hot 9 and Infinix Hot 9 Pro are pretty much identical and share some key features.They have a Big HD+ display which streams only 720P videos online, a beefy battery with no fast charging support, a punch-hole design, a fingerprint scanner on the back panel and decent quad-rear camera setup. They are a bit bulky because of which they won’t easily fit inside one hand. Having said that, they also have a slippery design so you might want to use both your hands if you need to do bigger tasks. Powered by a low-end chipset, the high-end games are not their cup of tea as you will find the device heating up and experiencing lags. Both the phones’ UI is not clean and comes with many pre-installed apps. The photos taken don’t look natural and it is a struggle to get good selfies at night. The major difference between these two models will be the camera setup with the Pro model getting a better camera with an extra LED on the back, bringing the total count for the flash to four.
