The notch screen is no doubt the rave of the moment within the smartphone ecosystem. Apple introduced it back in 2017 on it Apple iPhone X, and it was left only for high-end phones. But now, smartphone OEMs are ensuring that midrange to even low-end smartphones users can also have the full fun of Notch display cut-out. And that brings us to the latest Infinix Hot 6X smartphone. Oops!!! I’ve mentioned the name already, (had wanted to keep the name to later part of the article). OK yeah, Infinix Hot 6X, so what is the Hot 6X all about?
Infinix Hot 6X is all about Notch! Notch!! Notch!!!
O Yes! Infinix Hot 6X smartphone, just like many trending smartphone out there, is got notch display cut-out, which makes it the second Infinix smartphone with notch display (thinking about Infinix Hot S3x right now).
So what is the (Nose sorry, I mean) Notch all about? The notch screen is essentially a cut-out, at the top, of a part of the screen display that retains the display space on either side of it, for information such as date, battery statistics and more, and for apps notifications.
The notch screen has several benefits but the most important one is the fact that it gives the user the opportunity to view more details compared to other smartphones, while at same time, providing high display to body ratio.

Infinix Hot 6X Cares for Speed Too!

The Infinix Hot 6X is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, although, the device is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm MSM8917 Snapdragon 425 SoC, which has 4-core CPUs clocked at 1.45Ghz along with Adreno 308 GPU.
