INFINIX Hot 6X VS Hot S3X — Display

While both devices sport the same screen size, the same IPS LCD notched screen, and the same 1500 by 720-pixel resolution; their displays show some differences. The Infinix Hot 6X offers a screen-to-body ratio of around 87% (95.9 cm2) and 271 PPI, while its counterpart is pegged at 81%(96.7 cm2) and 267 PPI respectively.

When it comes to their rear camera specs, things are pretty much the same in both Hot models. The 2 phones offer a dual rear camera setup of 13 MP (f/2.0, AF) & 2 MP (depth sensor). Some features of these shooters are Dual-LED flash, HDR, and panorama. However, where the Hot S3X beats its rival is in the front-facing selfie camera section: While it packs a 16-MP shooter, the Hot 6X has a 5-MP secondary camera. Therefore, in terms of camera, the Infinix Hot 3X will produce clearer and finer selfies as it features a more powerful secondary shooter.

As for the performance of the Hot 6X, it has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor with clock speeds that max out at 1.3GHz.

The Hot S3X also features 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM. Thus, owing to its more powerful CPU, it is expected to have a better performance than the Hot Infinix Hot 6X’s version with the same RAM and ROM. Both Infinix products run the stock Android v8.1 Oreo.

As said earlier, they both have a non-removable Li-Ion 4000-mAh battery with fast charge support.
