Additionally, Infinix throws in a couple of freebies: A transparent plastic case and a curved tempered glass screen protector, which is a huge bonus for budget-conscious buyers who don’t want to spend extra on accessories.

MediaTek Helio G100 Processor: Power-Packed Performance

At the heart of the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ is the MediaTek Helio G100 chipset. Known for its solid gaming capabilities, this chip ensures a smooth experience, especially for gamers on a budget. Under PHP 9,000, this phone brings stellar performance that typically only premium devices offer.

If you’re a fan of mobile gaming titles like Honor of Kings or Mobile Legends, the Helio G100 processor won’t disappoint. Paired with the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, you can expect fluid gameplay, decent frame rates, and reduced lag.

What's more impressive is the 5-Year Performance TÜV Fluency Certification. It means that Infinix promises long-lasting performance even after extended use. Whether you're gaming or multi-tasking between apps, this phone is built to last without slowdowns over time.

6.8mm Slimmest Design: Ultra-Thin Yet Very Durable

Let’s talk about the design. Infinix didn’t hold back with the HOT 50 Pro+, making it the world’s slimmest smartphone at only 6.8mm. You’d think that such a thin phone would be fragile -- but Infinix has you covered with a durable Titanium Feather Frame architecture. The use of Pine 9419 material ensures that while the phone is slim, it remains sturdy. This is an excellent move for those who want a phone that’s lightweight without sacrificing durability.

The Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ is also IP54 Dust and Splash Proof, which means accidental splashes and minor exposure to dust won’t be a concern. It adds a layer of practicality to the stylish design. The phone comes in three colorways: Titanium Grey, Sleek Black, and Dreamy Purple: All of which give it a premium feel without breaking the bank.

The 6.8mm thickness might sound like a minor detail, but it’s a game-changer for those looking for a sleek, modern smartphone that’s easy to carry around in your pocket. Plus, the lightweight body (162g) makes it comfortable to hold for long periods, whether you're scrolling through social media or gaming for hours.

Now, let’s talk about the display. The Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ boasts a 6.78-inch Curved  AMOLED display with 1B colors and a peak brightness of 1300 nits. It's vivid, smooth, and a joy to use. The high 120Hz Refresh Rate makes scrolling, gaming, and overall interaction with the phone buttery smooth, while the AMOLED panel ensures punchy colors and deep blacks, which is a rarity at this price point.

Whether you're watching YouTube videos, playing games, or just browsing the web, the visuals are sharp and vibrant, thanks to the 393 ppi density. Even in bright outdoor environments, the 550 nits of typical brightness and Corning Gorilla Glass protection keep the screen readable and protected from scratches.

For those who care about security, the phone comes equipped with an In-Display Fingerprint Scanner, making unlocking the device quick and easy. This feature, combined with the gorgeous AMOLED display, really enhances the overall user experience.
