However, eager fans received an unexpected surprise when a local retailer prematurely listed the upcoming devices, divulging key details including pricing and specifications.

Despite the official launch date slated for later this month, one retailer couldn’t resist the temptation to spill the beans ahead of schedule. DirectD’s website now showcases the Hot 40 Pro priced at RM699, boasting 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This powerhouse device boasts a spacious 6.78-inch 1080p LCD display with a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, providing users with an immersive viewing experience.

Cameras and Battery
Photography enthusiasts will be delighted to discover that the Hot 40 Pro flaunts a formidable 108MP primary sensor alongside a versatile 2MP macro lens, delivering stunning images with exceptional detail and clarity. On the front, the punch-hole cutout houses a high-resolution 32MP selfie camera, perfect for capturing picture-perfect moments with friends and loved ones.
Powering this feature-packed device is a robust 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging, ensuring that you stay connected and productive throughout the day without any interruptions.
Affordable Option
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the Hot 40i offers an attractive proposition with its affordable price tag of RM549. Despite its lower price point, this entry-level handset doesn’t compromise on performance or features. Powered by a Unisoc T606 chip paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage, the Hot 40i delivers smooth and responsive performance for everyday tasks.
Its 6.56-inch 720p LCD display offers crisp visuals, complemented by a 90Hz refresh rate for fluid scrolling and navigation. With a minimalist black design, the Hot 40i exudes understated elegance, making it a versatile choice for users of all ages.
Camera Capabilities
In the photography department, the Hot 40i impresses with a capable 50MP main camera, accompanied by a secondary sensor for added versatility. Meanwhile, the 32MP front-facing camera ensures stunning selfies that are ready to be shared with the world.
Despite its compact size, the Hot 40i packs a punch with a 5,000mAh battery, providing ample power to keep you going throughout the day. While its charging speed may be slightly slower at 18W, it’s still more than sufficient for everyday use.
What’s Next?
With the premature listing on DirectD’s website, eager consumers now have a glimpse of what’s to come from Infinix. However, it remains to be seen when the devices will officially ship out.
