The Infinix HOT 50i will be the best first-time owner smartphone in the next few weeks. This is because it has just the right price and specifications that the competition simply doesn’t have. For example, it has 6GB RAM which is expandable to 12GB and there will be versions with 256GB internal storage. This is on top of the big display with a very high refresh rate of 120Hz with a punch hole front camera instead of a notch. The price is at the end of the article.
