Infinix Smart 9 Arrives With 120Hz LCD and Dynamic Bar for Only $65

Infinix’s latest entry-level offering has arrived without much fanfare and advertises up to 48 months of fluent operation. The Smart 9 is available in Bangladesh and Malaysia and will likely arrive in Pakistan later.

Design and Display

Despite having an LCD panel, the Infinix Smart 9 supports Always-On display on top of its 6.7-inch 720p screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The punch-hole selfie camera transforms into a Dynamic Bar to show notifications and other information similar to the iPhone’s Dynamic Island.

Internals and Software

The internals are powered by MediaTek’s Helio G81 SoC and as mentioned before, it promises a “48-month fluency” period, but only with the 128 GB version. However, do not expect a lag-free experience in the first 2 years either as Infinix says this label does not mean there will be  “absolutely no lag.”

You get 3 GB and 4 GB RAM options alongside 64 GB and 128 GB storage variants, which are expandable through a microSD card. You get Android 14 Go Edition with XOS 14 on top.

Cameras

The 13MP main sensor on the back is accompanied by a secondary auxiliary unit mostly just there for show. Video recording capabilities go up to 1080p 30 FPS and the front camera is an 8MP snapper with an f/2.0, wide-angle lens.

Battery and Pricing

The 5,000 mAh battery comes with support for 10W wired charging as well as reverse wired charging.

The Infinix Smart 9 starts at only $65 in Malaysia. The price for the 128 GB variant is yet to be revealed. You can choose between Black, Mint Green, Gold, and Silver color options.
