The Infinix Hot 9 was recently launched in India, along with a variant called the Hot 9 Pro. These smartphones were both priced below Rs. 10,000 at launch, but feature quad cameras and hole-punch displays. What caught my eye is the choice of processor. The Infinix Hot 9 packs in the same processor as the Infinix Hot 8, which raises a few questions. Is the Hot 9 a true upgrade, or has Infinix compromised too much to keep the price below Rs. 10,000? Let's find out.

The Infinix Hot 9 runs XOS 6.0 is based on Android 10 and packs 64GB of inbuilt storage that can be expanded via microSD card (up to 256GB) with a dedicated slot.
