Good afternoon everyone.

Weeks ago, I wrote a thread on the infinix hot 9.

Link:-https://www.nairaland.com/5755655/infinix-hot-9-mediatek-helio

I made some predictions based on how this OEM called Transsion will make their devices and try their old method of slapping expensive prices on mediocre devices
Read the thread first, then come back to this one when you're done. Do that for better alacrity.

So, today I was on this forum when I saw a thread in this section showcasing an unboxing video of an infinix hot 9. I read the thread, saw the video and also drew the review points to mine and guess what?

My predictions were 90% true. How??
Read on!!!

Let's start off with the specs.

This was pretty obvious from the beginning. But what the bone of contention was in this aspect was the processor.

I OPENLY criticized the use of the proposed helio a25 chip set (outdated MTK chip) for the hot 9 and the marketers of Transsion came at me with knives. Lying that the hot 9 will come with a better and "updated" processor.


Guess What.... The a25 still came with the phone!!!

Disappointing if you ask me.

A inferior chipset like helio a25 will manage a 5000mah battery just like how buhari is managing nigeria economy.
Its not how big the battery is, it is how long it lasts and how efficient it is maintained by the CPU.
Helio a25 fails in all these aspects. And also, even if a 50mp camera is attached to an inferior chipset like helio a25, the CPU will process the image and give you a crappy and watered down version cause that's all it can render
So camera quality is also connected to the efficiency and power of the chipset

So is the INI.finix hot 9 worth your money??

Capital NO!!!!!

Its expensive shit (in whizkids voice)



Now for the price

This was what I stated on the price.

This is my prediction.

Transsion will bring the same phone to Nigeria, water down the specs of the original 4gb and 128gb varient to 2gb and 32gb varient. They will then call the 4gb and 128gb variant the "hot 9 pro" (which is actually the original phone but they must make money na)

Then they will make the "1gb and 16gb varient" and make it hot 9 lite (one name, three different phones)

I converted the price of the original price of the hot 9 and I got 43,436.69 naira. Let's say 44k.

This will be the prices introduced to Nigerian markets

2gb and 32gb varient - 36-38k (close to 40k)
The original 4gb and 128gb varient - 50k+ grin
Then the lite version will be like 32/33k grin

You see what they will do?
They did the same thing with the hot 8 (watering down the original phone specs and then slap the same/higher price on the inferior and "premium" original varient) so I don't see why they will stop doing it when it get to hot 9 turn.
I may be wrong, and I may be right. Let's watch.

Guess what....I was wrong. But suprised!!!

Instead of putting the price tag of the 2gb ram varient of the infinix hot 9 at 40k as I predicted, Infinix slapped a ridiculous price tag of 53,000 naira!!!

53k/ for a 2GB ram phone packed with bad display and outdated CPU!!!

Madness!! Even a random agbero in mushin can't fall for such a scam

For clarity, the redmi 8 is 47k... 6k less then the hot 9

This beats the argument of tecno marketers that Transsion devices are affordable and cheap. Lies!!!!


So. Is the Inifinix hot 9 worth your money??

No!

Buy at your own risk!!!!! Carl care is waiting!!!

UNBOXING VIDEO:- https://www.nairaland.com/5902785/infinix-hot-9-unboxing-review

Ride on preacher
Preach!!

Where sir?

it is better to buy phones from top brand of 2017 than to waste your hard earned money on a Tecno,itel,infinix of 2020

In 2018, tecno announced that they will be releasing a bezeless device
For those who don't know, a bezel is those black bars that surround your screen. A bezeless device is one that possess no bezels at all.
Pic 1 :- This is what a bezel and a phone with bezel looks like.
Pic 2:- this is what a bezeless phone looks like.

Marketers for Transsion products praised the phones and said a lot of lies about it to unsuspecting nlanders.
When the phone came out, it was a disappointment. The so called bezeless display was a fad.

Pic 1 :- What tecno advertised.

Pic 2:- what we got

False advertising at its peak.

Space booked for future references

Loud it!!!!!!!! I have said it before and I will say it again Transsion is a virus that is not suppose to be in our country we deserve better, we deserve excellent product and not some recycled garbage nobody, I repeat nobody should accept mediocrity(transsion) when excellence(Redmi) is an option.

Emancipate yourself from mediocre,inferior and recycled device.

Choose Redmi Choose Excellence

What about itel phones

Don't they offer value for money?

Never !!!! I repeat Never settle for less Embrace Redmi and avoid renting apartment near carlcare.

Let me tell a story, Last year I had infinix hot 6pro and I was happy about the phone because of the hype around d phone not knowing that my village people set trap for me, I went to visit my gf family for marriage introduction and my gf mum gave me ice cold pure water to drink, now in my street no light and my gf had light so I decided to plug my hot 6pro and that was how I made a big mistake because my hot 6pro melted my cold chilled water and turned it to warm water I was shocked,even my gf mum was shocked.

the moral of this painful life experience is that we all should shun transsion and embrace Redmi

Itel is the junior bro of Tecno and Infinix.

OP thanks for bursting their bubble, I kept telling folks in my neighborhood to shun mediocre (Transion Holdings) phones, but they won't listen.

But immediately they see my Xiaomi phone, they will be like "Wow"

I will go for Ferrari if it's same price as Keke.
Unfortunately it can't be same price.
