Design and Display
Due to the entry-level tag, much should not be expected from this department. The display is the standard 720p resolution spitting 440 nits of brightness and 263ppi density. The display is a massive 6.82 inches great for media content but not very comfortable to operate with one hand.
The design is nice and features an arrow-like pattern that jumps between two shades of the same color, not bad. The volume and power rockers are featured at the right, the SIM and micro SD card is to the left while the USB 2.0 (can’t complain) and 3.5mm audio jack is at the bottom end. The bottom-firing speakers are absent so the sound is produced only from the front-facing speakers which are loud enough The fingerprint scanner is responsive and is indented at the back. Infinix went for the water drop design to place the camera.
Camera
Infinix Hot 10 Play features a dual camera of 13MP with f1/8 aperture. In addition, is the autofocus, Quad-LED flash, panorama, HD, and in front is an 8MP camera sensor. Not a bad choice for users
Battery and Performance
The battery is the selling point of the Infinix Hot 10 Play and the 6000mAh juice box will not disappoint. It can handle a full day’s use without needing your charger to come along. If it does go down getting it juiced up is going to take a while since it comes out of the box with only a 10-watt charger.
The daily running of this device is powered by the Helio G25 chipset a low-end chip, but don’t be put off because the G25 is gaming-focused and has performance that is comparable to the Helio p22 used in the pro versions of Hot 8 & 9 which goes to show that the low-end space is really getting interesting. The Helio G25 can handle gaming just don’t go guns blazing with heavy titles. Overall basic activities will be carried out but don’t expect it to do much more than that.
Infinix Hot 10 Play parks a base of 2GB RAM and 32GB inbuilt storage, 3GB RAM, and 64GB with an expandable memory slot.
Connectivity
The Hot 10 play comes with regulars like 4G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, radio FM, and a USB 2.0 port, no NFC of course.

Verdict
You get what you pay for a low-end budget device that can perform all essential tasks and a little more without breaking the bank. The performance won’t blow your mind but won’t stifle either. Big battery, a big display for media consumption, and a decent enough chipset.
