Infinix Mobile has finally dropped the Infinix Hot 6, alongside the Infinix Hot 6 Pro. This is the successor to the Hot 5 and earlier Hot iterations which have thoroughly penetrated the Ugandan market in the last few years. As of writing this post, the Hot 6 should be ready for purchase at any of the available Infinix-branded stores and other partner vendors.
The Infinix Hot 6 reaffirms Infinix’s commitment to unleashing affordable, stylish and competitively specced devices with spunk. Infinix Mobile remains true to its MediaTek roots with the more modest Hot 6 even as it goes for glory in the Hot 6 Pro. Both devices are indistinguishable from one another, save what comes hidden under the hood. As we have already covered the Hot 6 Pro, it’s time for the equally impressive Hot 6 to shine.
Starting at the preliminaries, the Infinix Hot 6 has undergone a complete facelift and introduces new exciting premium features.
