Starting in 2019, Infinix began
to look aggressive in storming the smartphone market in Indonesia with new
products. One of them is infinix hot 6X. This smartphone has obtained TKDN
documents and post permissions since the end of 2018 and with the model number
infinix X623-LTE, but can only be available in the February 2019 market.
In appearance, this infinix hot
6X can be said to be similar to the infinix hot S3X. unfortunately, for some
points the specifications have decreased. A wide bangs smartphone that still
relies on the dual capabilities of this camera at the official price at a much
cheaper price than its seniors. Curious, what is the performance like?
following the review.
Current design
The first impression when holding
the Infinix Hot 6X, the design is quite cool with the rounding body concept
that fits perfectly. The design structure also looks contemporary, with light
weight. The body is wrapped in quality plastic material. Unlike Hot S3x, which
has a rather transparent back cover, this phone is not slippery and is not easy
to get dirty, because it is coated with special materials. For example, sweaty
and oily hand fingerprints.
The back of the phone has a
structure that is exactly the same as Hot S3X. starting from dual camera
formations that are mojok on the top side, the position of the fingerprint
sensor panel, the infinix logo to the location of the product series name. Laying
the control panel such as the power button, volume, audio jack port, speaker
funnel and also a micro USB plug is similar to Hot S3X. interestingly, this Hot
6X also still maintains the concept of a separate SIM slop between the
operator's SIM card and microSD. That is, on this smartphone there is no SIM
slot, namely: SIM 1, SIM 2, and microSD. So, for those who have more than one
telephone number, they can still use a microSD card as additional storage
space.
At the front, dominated by a
screen area with the top bangs (notch) with a size that is quite wide. The
infinix Hot 6X area notch is decorated with a front camera, LED flash and
several other important sensors, the bottom also feels thick, with a thin bezel
side. Usually, this model will be criticized by netizens.
HD + screen with cool UI
In this sector, Hot 6X is also
similar to Hot S3X. the screen implanted into this cheap smartphone has a span
of 6.2 inches, with an IPS + HD resolution screen type. Because it has an
aspect ratio of 19: 9 and the kebodi ratio reaches 87%, the HOT 6X screen
automatically looks very wide but does not make the body also follow wide.
Infinix is a screen concept that is used by Hot 6X X623-LTE Infinity Display.
For screen quality, it seems that
there is no need to doubt. Although only limited to IPS HD +, in fact this
mobile screen is still able to present a pretty good entertainment experience,
both video clips, games, to read to explore the virtual world and social media.
Just like the Hot S3X and Hot 6 pro, the IPS panel that is used by Infinix Hot
6X also has a brightness of up to 500 nits and a contrast ratio of 1500: 1
which means that the phone's screen is able to display clear and sharp images
and colors. When used directly in the sun, the screen of this cellphone is
still able to display images properly. To be clearer and maximum, you can also
adjust the screen brightness level manually.
The interesting point, this
Infinix Hot 6X Display is also equipped with a pretty cool user interface. For
those who have small hands, there is a one-hand feature that can adjust the
screen display to a size of a few inches smaller. The Hot 6X screen also
supports multi-screen features. This feature allows you to display two
different applications on the Hot 6X screen simultaneously. However, not all
applications can be displayed in multi-screen mode. But at least, you can still
use WhatsApp while watching YouTube. For eye comfort, the Infinix Hot 6X screen
also accommodates Ete Care mode.
Layered security system
In addition to the capabilities
mentioned above, this cellphone is also equipped with a fairly sophisticated
security system. Not only relying on a standard PIN, password and pattern,
Infinix Hot 6X also fortifies itself with two high-level security features,
namely fingerprint sensor and Face Unlock. Both can be combined to secure
important data stored on the cellphone.
The fingerprint technology used
by Hot 6X is the latest type, and can detect fingerprints properly, accurately
and quickly. Similar to the previous device, the fingerprint on the smartphone
can detect 5 different fingerprints, function to open or lock the screen. And
also on the face unlock, this smartphone belongs to the face ++ algorithm which
can detect 1024 face recognition points, which can unlock the screen quickly.
Dual cameras have Refocus capabilities.
In this photography sector, this
mobile phone is equipped with a dual camera on the back which is one of the
main features. This main camera has a 13 MP + 2 MP configuration with a main
aperture of F / 1.8. the lens openings owned by this phone are slightly larger
than the Hot S3X which is still limited to F / 2.0. automatically, this Hot 6x
camera is more powerful in absorbing light and the shots look brighter and
sharper than the Hot S3X camera.
Not only that, the dual camera on
this cellphone can also be used to produce good photos. You just choose
portrait mode in the camera viewfinder. Automatically, the camera system will
make settings to make the background blurry. The results of the photos do still
look less neat, because the blur points are sometimes inconsistent. Don't
worry, this phone includes a refocus function. With this facility, you can
reset the focus point of the camera shots. Simply open the photo gallery and
choose one of the photos, then tap the double camera icon to reset it.
The test results tried, the
camera shots of this cellphone are still quite reliable. Detail images, color
emission and lighting composition can appear excellent. Whether it's using AI
Cam (auto) or Professional mode. For photos of people's faces, you can use
Beauty mode to beautify shots.
Selfie camera with flash LED
As explained earlier, this phone
is arguably a downgrade from Hot S3x, there are automatically some parts that
experience a decrease in quality, namely on the front camera, only 8 MP. Try to
compare it with the Hot S3X front camera that has a 16 MP sensor. From the size
of the camera resolution is quite clear, that the quality of selfie on this
cellphone is not good, the shots proved to be less sharp, but for conditions
with abundant light, the results of the photos are still pretty good.
Apart from the minus, it turns
out that the front camera of this phone also has a plus. Besides being
supported by AI (Artificial intelligence) technology and collaborated with
flash LEDs on the front, it is very sensitive to get better selfie images in
all light conditions.
chipset Lower class, good performance.
This phone uses Snapdragon 425
with a Quad-core processor that has a maximum clock speed of 1.4 GHz, with 3 GB
RAM and 32 GB internal. On the market, mobile phones that have specifications
are not much different, even slightly higher than Infinix Hot 6X, namely: Asus
Zenfone Max M1, Huawei Y7 pro 2019 and Samsung Galaxy J4 +.
What about the performance? the
processor that is owned by this cellphone is still able to accelerate well and
smoothly to carry out cellphone functions such as playing videos, browsing the
internet and playing games. Especially for games, this phone can only run games
with standard specifications.
4000 mAh battery
Infinix Series is indeed famous
for batteries that have great capacity and durability. Infinix implements a
4000 mAh capacity non-removable battery. For normal operation, the battery of
this cellphone can last up to two full days for a single recharge.
Conclusion
With a price tag of under Rp 2
million, Infinix Hor 6X shifts the Hot S3X position as the cheapest bangs
smartphone on the Indonesian market. Appearing with a pretty cool design, this
smartphone is the target market, namely young people who like photography by
presenting dual cameras with AI technology and large capacity batteries.
However, the chipset on this
cellphone is not as expected by consumers. Snapdragon 425 with 3 GB of RAM,
plus 32 GB of internal storage is considered comparable to the price tag
offered. Besides that, the performance of selfie camera that seems sober is
also worthy of being considered by consumers who want to own this cheap
cellphone.
