Infinix Hot 50i with MediaTek Helio G81 SoC, 120Hz display launched silently in Kenya: price, specs | Tech Tips

Following the silent launch of Infinix Smart 9 and Infinix Hot 50 4G, the company has launched yet another phone silently: the Infinix Hot 50i 4G. It is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset, a 4nm octa-core chipset that is found within phones like Tecno Spark 30C and Redmi 14C. Let’s check out the Hot 50i’s complete specifications and see how it compares to the Hot 40i. 

But, first:

The phone is expected to launch in other markets including India considering its predecessor’s availability. In India, it could be priced higher since the Infinix Hot 40i (8+256GB model) retails for Rs 9,480 on Amazon.

The phone’s also up on the company’s official website, which discloses the specs and other details:

What’s new on Infinix Hot 50i?

Compared to the Hot 40i, this one has a tad bigger and smoother 120Hz display, Android 14-based XOS 14.5 out of the box, a slightly faster CPU, and IP54 water and dust resistance.

Infinix Hot 50i alternatives

Since the Hot 40i is a sub-Rs 10K phone, we figure its successor could face competition from current players like the following. Infinix Hot 50i is very similar to Tecno Pop 9 and the key difference is that the latter runs on a more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC.
