Review

If you’re on the hunt for a budget-friendly gaming phone and your wallet’s crying more than you do after a Free Fire headshot, the Infinix Hot 40 Pro Free Fire Edition might just be your hero. It boasts a slick 120Hz display, a massive 5000mAh battery, and some surprisingly decent hardware for the price. But is it really up to scratch for serious mobile gamers or is it all just flashy colors and empty promises? Let’s dive in.

Unboxing

First things first: the box. It’s loud, it’s bold, and it screams Free Fire. You’ll find the phone, a 33W fast charger, USB-C cable, SIM ejector pin (featuring Mr. Wagger  yep, the penguin), a clear case, and even a cooling fan. Yup, a literal external cooler  more on that in a bit. There’s also a lanyard, some Booyah stickers, and a scratch card for a potential prize. It’s a fun experience, and honestly, it sets the mood right.

Design

At 6.78 inches, the Hot 40 Pro is a bit of a unit. The plastic back isn’t premium by any means, but the Horizon Gold finish with etched patterns does make it stand out. The bezels are on the chunkier side, especially the bottom “chin,” but hey, at this price, we’re not here to nitpick bezels. It’s light in the hand and easy to grip even during long gaming sessions.

Display 

You get a Full HD+ IPS LCD panel here with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It’s not AMOLED, but the colors are vibrant enough, and brightness is just about decent for outdoor use  as long as you’re not gaming under direct sunlight. The punch-hole selfie cam is a little noticeable, but it doesn’t ruin the action.

Software XOS with Some Quirks

The Hot 40 Pro runs XOS 13 on top of Android 13. Yep, still no Android 14, and the security patch is kinda outdated. Infinix isn’t known for speedy updates, so don’t hold your breath. But the interface is usable and has its own flavor, with features like XClone, Game Mode, and a split control center.

Strangely, for a Free Fire Edition, there’s a surprising lack of themed content. No custom wallpapers, ringtones, or sound effects. You’d expect at least a little fan service. Still, nothing that a few downloads can’t fix.

Performance 

Powered by the MediaTek Helio G99, this thing isn’t going to win benchmark wars, but it handles popular games like Free Fire, PUBG Mobile, and COD Mobile pretty well. Even on the highest graphics settings in Free Fire, the gameplay stayed stable. No major lags, just a couple of hiccups here and there.

The XBoost engine helps with performance, and touch response was excellent. Every swipe, tap, and panicked last-second dodge was picked up instantly. It’s not a powerhouse, but it punches well above its weight.

You get a 108MP main sensor, which sounds flashy and actually performs decently in daylight. Low-light shots aren’t amazing, but that’s expected. There’s no ultrawide lens, just a macro and a depth sensor meh.

Selfies from the 32MP front cam are decent, and there’s even a front flash for nighttime snaps. Video maxes out at 2K 30fps good enough for casual recording, but not content creator-level.

Cameras

Cooling, Flashy Fan, Minimal Need

That bundled cooler looks cool (pun intended) with its RGB lighting, but honestly, the phone stays cool enough without it. After about an hour of gaming, it was just warm, never hot. Only if you’re charging while gaming would the fan come in handy, and even then, you’ll need a power source to run it.

Battery Life

Thanks to a 5,000mAh battery and the power-efficient Helio G99, you can game for hours without worrying. Free Fire barely drains it. On moderate use, you’re easily looking at a full day or more.

Charging is done via 33W fast charge, which isn’t blazing fast, but you’ll get from 0 to 100% in about 80-90 minutes. No wireless charging, of course on a budget phone, remember?

Audio

Stereo speakers on a phone this cheap? Yes. And they’re surprisingly loud and clear. Whether it’s gunshots in Free Fire or just bingeing YouTube, the audio does the job. And yes, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is always a win in 2025.

Final Verdict 

If you’re a Free Fire fan or just want a good budget gaming phone, the Infinix Hot 40 Pro Free Fire Edition is a solid bet. It delivers smooth gaming, long battery life, and fun extras  even if some are more gimmick than game-changer.

Sure, it’s not perfect. There’s no AMOLED screen, updates are slow, and that Free Fire branding feels underused. But for the price? It’s hard to beat.
