      1. Techno pouvoir 3 plus is the phone competing with infinix hot 8. and it has 6000mah battery so I was expecting the hot 9 to also increase their battery to 6000mah.

  1. Please, why is it that the Infinix hot 8 2GB RAM/32GB ROM was released in Ghana without the 4GB ram/32GB rom? Are Ghanaian not supposed to enjoy equally of any infinix brand new smartphone that is being released out with other countries?

    Please, with the Hot 9 that would be releasing on September 5th this year, we all must enjoy it both 2/4GB RAM to experience and give better account of the product. Thanks

    1. agreed… sins infinix is bcomin 1 of the biggest sellin phon in Africa, I personally xpect dem 2 setup deir game by introducin infrared n water resistance.. blive me, dat’ll make dem so unique n different frm any orda phones n frm deir previous phones.. let’s incourage dem 2do beta in deir PRO phones..

  2. The camera should be wider or bigger than infix hot 8 and how much when it being sell after release out?

  3. Morning may I know much is the infinix hot 9 and the price in Nigeria then will he be released
    When the infinix hot 9 will be released and what should be the price in Nigeria

  4. When is the launch of hot 9 in Kampala Uganda
    But why infinix does not bring hot series with 4gb ram and 64gb rom to Africa
    we re fade up of this 2gb of ram otherwise if they launch it without 4gb ram I won’t buy it

  5. With the Infinix Hot 9 that we’re all looking forward to be released in across African Countries, we are looking for a better series that comes with the 4GB Ram and 64GB Rom in Africa Counries. In fact, we’re sick and tired of 2GB ram and 32GB Rom that always causes our devices to work very slowly when applications are being downloaded on the device or even when the 2GB Ram get full.
    Moreover, i suggested the Hot 9 cameras and batteries to be increased…… I have attested of the Hot 8 X650B device, I’m using one and it always misbehave when the 2GB Ram is full and due to that it causes the device to perform very slowly and i hates when it starts working slowly. I have already planned if the Hot 9 comes not with 4GB/64GB in African I’ll not waste my money to purchase but will rather go in for different products that would come up with my satisfaction.

  6. I please have hot 6 in good condition, but would like to swap to hot 9.
    what should I do?
    I am in touch with the specifications of the hot 9.
    Let me know.

  7. I really wanna know what is going to be in next few years. Alot mobile come and go. I’m going to buy it one or to two of it
    I’m waiting in Indonesia

  8. Please kindly reduce the price 72k is much cos I expected the ba3 to be around 6000mah besides the Ram is jux the same as hot 8 …jus a slight difference please let der b price reduction .
