Infinix is teasing a new addition to its HOT 10 Series. The new device dubbed the HOT 10 Play brings to the already well spec’d device more battery, a slightly larger display, but expectedly a slightly lower price point. This is because the phone runs Android Go, and uses the less beefy Helio G35 processor compared to the Helio G70 on the normal HOT 10.

The company says it has achieved amazing results in the international smartphone market, and that all of its products come with powerful processors, large RAMs and flash memories as well as exceptional displays. Its locally optimised cameras also stand out in terms of their photo-taking capability. That is the same approach they will be having with the new HOT 10 Play – which will be announced soon.

The company pitches the upcoming phone as having the potential to redefine the entertainment experience of smartphones, albeit smartphones within the 10k price range, as that’s our estimated pricing for this device once it becomes available. The company has said the device employees Hyper Engine technology that allows for an intelligent switch between LTE and WiFi, helping reduce game lag, and making your online phone experience much smarter and more seamless.
