Even though the phone is yet to be listed on the company’s official website, we now know the distination intended for this device by it maker – INTERNATIONAL! Thanks to an Aliexpress listing earlier today, the Infinix HOT 12 can now be purchased and shipped globally through Aliexpress, with almost zero shipping cost.
Buyers in Nigeria, and most African countries for example, can ship the Android 12 running midrange smartphone under 50 cents. The actual pricing of the phone begins from $186 USD, and growing up to $204 US Dollars, depending either you just want the phone, or with some accessories added.
There are three key selling points of the Hot 12. The first of them is the presence of Helio G85 octa-core CPU from MediaTek. This Chipset puts the HOT 12 in the front of every entry-level gamers hunting for affordable gaming device. The second selling points of the phone is it large 6.82-inches screen. The display though is 720 x 1640 panel, but it is compensated for by the presence of a 90Hz refresh rating. And finally, Google Android 12 OS with XOS 10.6.
Camera could get better though, as the Hot 12 is fitted with same lenses seen on the 12i. The model is slightly different from the one we saw via a Moroccan E-commerce site yesterday, as it adds a 6GB RAM option. Battery remains a 5000mAh unit with 18W fast charger, and we can now confirm that the phone has USB Type C and a side mounted fingerprint scanner.
