Spending a day with the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ turned out to be more exciting than I anticipated. This stylish, budget-friendly smartphone packs a surprising punch, and I decided to put it through the paces during my typical busy day.
Early Morning Gaming Wake-Up Call
As I turn off the alarm, my day starts with a bit of gaming. Call me unusual but it’s an instant wake-up call. And the Helio G100 chipset does not disappoint. It delivers especially for mobile gamers. I launched into Honor of Kings, and the gameplay was impressively smooth with zero lag. The phone remained cool even after a 15-minute gameplay.
It honestly felt like an upper mid-tier device in terms of gaming performance. As I sip my coffee, I browse through some socials to get myself updated with last night’s happenings. Pulling up several apps and allowing them to stay in the background is never an issue with this phone.
Working Hours: Smooth Multitasking and Office Tasks
When I arrived at the office, it was time to get into work mode. I had emails to answer, documents to review, and a bit of research to tackle. Posing as a secondary productivity device to my laptop, the HOT 50 Pro+ handles some of these regular productivity tasks effortlessly with its 8GB RAM and MemFusion feature, which adds virtual RAM. Switching between apps is also seamless, and I didn’t experience any delays.
The phone's slim, lightweight build came in handy for one-handed use while moving around. The 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display made reading documents comfortable on the eyes, and the 120Hz refresh rate kept everything feeling snappy. And when it’s time for a conference call on my laptop, I would still be able to monitor emails and updates using the phone.
Lunchtime Photoshoot and Scroll Break
At lunch, I took a quick walk outside to get some fresh air and test out the camera. The 50MP main camera really impressed me – shots were sharp, colors were vibrant, and details stood out. I grabbed some quick photos of my lunch, the cityscape, and a few random shots, and each one turned out surprisingly well for a phone under PHP 9K. You can check out some sample photos here.
I couldn’t resist scrolling through social media on that gorgeous AMOLED display. The 120Hz refresh rate made everything from Instagram to news sites a smooth experience, and the FOD (Fingerprint On Display) unlock was quick, letting me easily dive in and out of my apps without missing a beat.
Afternoon Calls and Productivity Push
And when it’s time for a conference call on my laptop, I would still be able to monitor emails and updates using the phone. Sometimes, I take online meetings on my phone; and the slim profile of the HOT 50 Pro+ was comfortable to hold during long calls, and its IP54 rating made me less worried about accidental splashes from my water bottle - no need for extra caution here!
Throughout the workday, the HOT 50 Pro+ handled my demanding schedule without any slowdowns, keeping up with everything from note-taking to browsing large documents. And thanks to the TUV Fluency certification, I know this isn’t just “day one” performance - the phone is built to stay reliable for up to five years.
Evening Wind-Down: Streaming and Social Media Catch-Up
I was ready to unwind when I got home. I checked my favorite video streaming app and played my favorite shows to watch on the HOT 50 Pro+’s 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display. Watching on the big, bright screen with rich colors and sharp contrast made streaming feel premium - even for a budget phone.
I caught up on social media and did some more gaming right after dinner. The 120Hz refresh rate made the interface feel fluid, and with the Helio G100 chipset, the HOT 50 Pro+ performed like a champ for evening gaming sessions. I could easily switch between scrolling, messaging, and gaming without the phone stuttering.
Nighttime: Powering Down with a Quick Charge
As the day wound down, I noticed that I still had a good battery percentage left, despite a full day of heavy use. The HOT 50 Pro+ packs a 5000mAh battery, and for a slim phone, that’s impressive. When I plugged it in for the night, the 33-watt fast charging got it powered up quickly - a big plus if you’re always on the go.
To wrap the day, I set my alarm for tomorrow’s another adventure with the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+.
