Introduction and Specifications:
Infinix recently introduced its Hot 40 series, positioned between the entry-level Smart series and the more advanced Note series. This review focuses on the feature-rich Hot 40, particularly the Free Fire Edition.
While the Free Fire Edition shares the same design and features as the standard Hot 40 Pro, it stands out due to its comprehensive retail package, detailed in the subsequent section.
Despite its association with the Garena Free Fire game, the device is not specifically designed for gaming. Instead, it serves as an affordable entry-level device, providing an alternative to popular options like the Xiaomi Redmi series or Samsung's low-end A lineup.
