Remarks
On paper, as can be seen in the above specs, the Infinix Hot 30 Play largely manages to come on top of the Samsung Galaxy A04s. That is not to say, however, that the Samsung does not have some sparks. For instance, we have a preference of the Samsung’s One UI over Infinix’s XOS.
The Infinix woos in multiple aspects. For instance, it has NFC connectivity, a rarity at this segment. The Samsung does have the feature but not on the variant that you can buy in Kenya. The more generous storage offering on the Infinix also works in its favour.
Ultimately, picking one over the other may be down to individual preferences.
The Infinix takes this one
Good day team, I really appreciate Infinix Hot because I completely use Hot 12 play and l enjoy. Therefore I need the Hot 30 play for Easy buy. Thanks for your consideration.
I will always choose infinix over other phones ….because it has high quality features
