Infinix Hot 30i spotted on Google Play Console, tipped to get Unisoc T606 SoC: Report

The Infinix Hot 30i has been confirmed to be launched as the latest Infinix Hot series smartphone on March 27 in India. The upcoming smartphone, which will succeed last year’s Infinix Hot 20i, has also been teased by the Chinese smartphone brand through official first look photos shared on social media. Now, ahead of its official launch, the upcoming entry-level model Infinix Hot 30i has been spotted on the Google Play Console, revealing some of the key specifications it can be expected to include.

According to a report by PriceBaba, an Infinix smartphone with model number Infinix X6999 has been spotted on Google Play Console. The handset is believed to be the officially announced Infinix Hot 30i, the company’s successor to last year’s Infinix Hot 20i.

The upcoming entry-level smartphone has been officially confirmed by the Chinese smartphone maker to launch on March 27 in India, featuring a 90Hz refresh rate and up to 16GB of RAM. It has also been confirmed that the smartphone will be available in three color variants — Diamond White, Glacier Blue and Mirror Black with a glass-like finish. Official marketing images suggest a dual rear camera setup and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for biometric verification.

The Google Play Console listing has reportedly revealed some additional specifications around the processor, RAM and Android version number that can be expected on the Infinix Hot 30i. The listing notes that the smartphone could be equipped with a Unisoc T606 SoC under its hood, which is an octa-core chip built on a 12nm process that includes two Cortex-A75 and six Cortex-A55 cores paired with Mali-G57 MP1. This is a significant improvement over the Infinix Hot 20i, which ships with a MediaTek Helio G25 SoC that has eight Cortex-A53 cores.

The Infinix Hot 30i Google Play Console listing offers a 4GB RAM version that runs Android 12 OS. However, the company has already confirmed that the smartphone will have up to 16GB of RAM. Its predecessor, the Infinix Hot 20i was launched with two versions — one running Android 12 and another running Android 12 Go Edition. However, there is no indication if the Infinix Hot 30i will also arrive in multiple Android versions.

Other rumors surrounding the upcoming entry-level smartphone include that it could feature a 6.6-inch IPS display, a 50-megapixel primary sensor, and a 6,000mAh battery. The smartphone is also rumored to be launched as part of a lineup that also includes a vanilla Infinix Hot 30 and an Infinix Hot 30 Play model.
