Commenting on the launch, Mr. Anish Kapoor, CEO – Infinix India, said, Infinix has always believed in giving its users #ALotExtra features through its HOT series. Each time we introduce a new smartphone in India, we optimise it as per the customers’ requirements with several FIST (First in Segment Technology) features that give the young audience an engaging and unique mobile experience without breaking a bank. In fact, it is the primary reason which makes all the devices of the HOT series appealing and much sought-after. For instance, after receiving a promising response for our previous devices like HOT 8, HOT9 and HOT 9 Pro, we introduced HOT 10 with a powerful chipset for gaming enthusiasts and a revolutionary upgrade from XOS 6.0 to XOS 7 skin making the UI of the phone intuitive and robust.
While our core DNA in this segment continues to be entertainment and performance-oriented, in 2021 we are trying to further strengthen our HOT series with massive upgrades in its chipset, OS, UI, storage and battery.
The all-new HOT 10 Play comes as a complete package for content consumers as well as first-time gamers backed by its powerful new processor and enhanced power efficiency feature. Moreover, with OTT platform subscriptions and data charges becoming increasingly affordable, consumers are consuming a lot of content on their smartphone, which calls for a big cinematic screen, big battery, superior sound and big storage space.
HOT 10 Play is a perfect blend of style, performance and experience at a value-driven price and we are certain that the young smartphone users, as well as the masses, are going to enjoy an uninterrupted and immersive screen time experience with it.
