The Tecno Camon X and the Infinix Hot S3 has been around for sometimes now, both of which had a lot in common. I had previously a specification comparison of both smartphones. However, Infinix took the wrap off the Hot 6 Pro few days ago, and for those who’ll be asking questions as regard to what is could be the best option between the Infinix Hot S3, the Tecno Camon X and the recently announced Hot 6 Pro, then, this post is for you.
One very important thing note however, is the fact that the Infinix Hot 6 Pro is the most affordable device on the list, but considering how Infinix is shifting gradually from Mediatek CPUs, we thought it’ll be wise to see how the Hot 6 Pro fairs against the Hot S Pro.

So Which is for You? Infinix Hot 6 Pro, Tecno Camon X or Infinix Hot S3?
Wait a minute, should the question be which is for you or which is for me. I mean, if i’m to be in your shoe, which of these three smartphone will I pick?
If you consider the above table very well, you’ll should have discovered that the stranger among the three, is the Tecno Camon X. Why is the Camon X a stranger? Because it is first, from a different brand, and secondly, the Camon X is the only phone on the list with Mediatek processor. So if the option is mine, I would definitely pick the Tecno Camon X. Why;
- More powerful CPU and GPU
- Better camera prowess
Now that the Camon X is out of the way, what next? Please give me the Infinix Hot 6 Pro. Surprise? Ok, you don’t have to be, here is why I’ll take the Hot 6 Pro over the Hot S3;
- More display estate than the S3 Pro.
- I don’t really care about gigantic front facing camera
- Cheaper and offers overall value for money than the Hot S3 Pro.
Then I could consider the Hot S3 Pro. But what if I’m loyal to either of the above brand or model? Then I wouldn’t mind what one device have that the other do not have.
