My Experience
I'm that 5G guy. I've actually been here for every "G." I've reviewed well over a thousand products during 18 years working full-time at PCMag.com, Fully Mobilized, where I obsess about phones and networks.

Display: Stunning

Recently, I got my hands on the Infinix Hot 12 for review. Infinix Hot 12 has a stunning display. The phone has a large screen size, which makes it ideal for playing games or viewing videos. The viewing angles are favorable, and the colors are bright. The brightness level is also good; I can easily view it under direct sunlight. The design of the display is good, too, with the bezels being relatively thin.

Performance: Not Competitive

MediaTek Helio G85 chipset isn’t that competitive compared to other chipsets in the market. The CPU is an octa-core unit that delivers good performance, and the Mali-G52 MC2 GPU is average for gaming. I played most games without issues, and the experience was smooth.

Camera: Great Versatility

I love photography, so trying out the Infinix Hot 12 camera was super exciting. It did not let me down! The triple camera setup offered great versatility, and I got some beautiful shots. The primary camera is 13 MP and provides excellent detail and clarity. The 2 MP camera is also great for close-up shots, and the QVGA camera is perfect for capturing those special moments. The dual-LED flash is also a great feature, providing evenly-lit photos even in low-light conditions.

Battery: Perfect

The battery life on the Infinix Hot 12 is perfect. I can go a whole day without worrying about charging it, and it still has plenty of juice left for gaming or heavy usage. The fast charging support also comes in handy, as I can quickly top up the battery if needed.

Software: Very Smooth And Fast

As per my own experience, I am happy with the user interface. It’s very smooth and fast, and I haven’t had any problems with it. The XOS operating system is also very user-friendly, significantly improving over previous versions.

Final Verdict

The Infinix Hot 12 is a good phone overall. It has a great camera and display, and the battery is also good. The processor is not as good as other options on the market, but it’s still acceptable. The GPU is also suitable for basic gaming. Consequently, the benefits surpass the drawbacks, and I would suggest this phone to people who want a great camera and screen size.
