In addition to the Hot 12 and Hot 12i, Infinix have also announced the Hot 12 Play and Play NFC, both of which are powered by a 6000mAh battery with 10W charger.
As far design and looks are concern, the Hot 12 Play and Hot 12 Play NFC follows in the footsteps of the standard HOT 12. All of the three has a large 6.82-inches screen with 720 x 1640 pixels. The brightness level on all three is measured at 500 nits, and there is a dot-notch within their displays, but only the vanilla Hot 12, and the Hot 12 Play NFC seems to be given 90Hz refresh.
These three devices should not also be confused hardware wise. We already told you that the vanilla Hot 12 has Helio G85 CPU with both 4/6GB RAM and a single 128-Gigs of built-in storage. All you need to know about the standard Hot 12 is available HERE and HERE.
As for the Hot 12 Play and Play NFC, different CPUs are used here as well. On the standard play is Helio G35 from MediaTek, while the Play NFC model seems to be powered by Tiger T610 SoC from UNISOC, same CPU used on the recent Infinix Hot 11 2022. The rest of the specs remains the same, even their painting options.
