Infinix Hot 50i 4GB/256GB

In 2026, the Infinix Hot 50i (256GB) is the ideal high-capacity budget choice. However, to truly appreciate its value, it is helpful to look at its predecessor, the Infinix Hot 40, and the clear path forward with the Infinix Hot 60.

At Kara Nigeria, we help you navigate the transition from legacy 2024 technology to the future-proof standards of 2026.

The Predecessor: Infinix Hot 40 (Legacy)

The Infinix Hot 40 was a massive success upon its release in late 2023 and throughout 2024. While it introduced the "Magic Ring" and 90Hz displays to the masses, it is now considered Legacy Hardware in 2026.

1. Status: Deprecated / End of Life.
2. Key Specs: Helio G88 (12nm), 90Hz FHD+ Display, Android 13.
3. The 2026 Verdict: While durable, the Hot 40 lacks the AI integration (Folax 2.0) and the 120Hz refresh rates that have become standard in the current Infinix Hot series. We recommend moving to the 50i or 60 series for better app compatibility.

The 2026 Choice: Infinix Hot 50i (4GB/256GB)

The Hot 50i is the current "Sweet Spot" for storage-heavy users on a budget.

1. Price Range: ₦168,000 – ₦187,900
2. Why it beats the Hot 40: You get a smoother 120Hz display, a much slimmer 7.7mm design, and 48-Month Fluency Protection, ensuring the phone doesn't slow down by 2030.

The Step Up: Infinix Hot 60 (8GB/256GB)

If the Hot 50i is the reliable daily driver, the Infinix Hot 60 is the high-speed upgrade. It is designed for those who want to jump from budget specs into the 5G era.

1. Price Range: ₦232,000 – ₦278,000
2. Step-Up Features:
3. Network: 5G connectivity for lightning-fast downloads in major Nigerian cities.
4. Charging: 45W SuperFast Charge (vs 18W on the 50i).
5. Performance: Dimensity 7020 (6nm) chipset, which is twice as fast as the processors found in the Hot 40 or 50i.

Comparison: Predecessor vs. Current vs. Step-Up
