It carries an IP54 ingress protection rating, meaning it offers resistance against dust and water splashes, though it is not built to a rugged standard.

The Infinix Hot 50 4G features a 6.78″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2460 px and a pixel density of 396 ppi, delivering a sharp and detailed image. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate paired with a 240Hz touch sampling rate, contributing to smooth scrolling and responsive touch input. Always-On Display is available, though the screen does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen or branded damage-resistant glass.

The Infinix Hot 50 4G is powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 chipset, built on a 6 nm process with an octa-core CPU configuration running at 2 x 2.2 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz across 8 threads, making use of big.LITTLE technology and Heterogeneous Multi-Processing. It comes with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM operating at 4266 MHz and 256 GB of internal storage, with a maximum supported memory amount of 12 GB and a peak memory bandwidth of 17.1 GB/s. Graphics are handled by the integrated Mali G57 GPU clocked at 1000 MHz, supporting DirectX 11, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The chipset also integrates LTE and includes TrustZone security, with a thermal design power of 5W. In benchmarks, the device scores 437,198 on AnTuTu, 730 on Geekbench 6 single-core, and 1,950 on Geekbench 6 multi-core, and it supports 64-bit computing throughout.

The Infinix Hot 50 4G features a single-lens 50 MP main camera with a CMOS sensor, capable of recording video at 1440 x 30 fps, though it lacks optical image stabilization, a back-illuminated sensor, and optical zoom. Autofocus options include phase-detection autofocus for photos, continuous autofocus during video recording, and touch autofocus, while laser autofocus is not present. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed is not available. The camera also supports HDR mode, burst mode, slow-motion video recording, panorama, and timelapse, but does not shoot RAW files, record in HDR10 or Dolby Vision, or offer 360° panorama. Flash is provided by two LED units, without dual-tone or RGB configurations. On the front, an 8 MP single-lens camera is available in a standard position — not under the display — and has no dedicated flash.

The Infinix Hot 50 4G runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of software features covering both usability and privacy.

The OS supports split-screen multitasking, picture-in-picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, customizable notifications, and a child lock. It also includes on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, phone tracking, multi-user support, battery health check, and the ability to play games while they are downloading. Features such as focus modes, app offloading, Wi-Fi password sharing, Quick Start, and PC mode are not present, and direct OS updates from the vendor are not supported.

The Infinix Hot 50 4G is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 18W fast charging, with a charger included in the box. A battery level indicator is available, making it easy to monitor charge status at a glance. Wireless charging is not supported.

The Infinix Hot 50 4G includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired audio connections and a built-in radio. It does not feature stereo speakers, and none of the advanced Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported.

Cellular download speeds reach up to 650 MBits/s and upload speeds up to 150 MBits/s. For navigation, the device includes GPS with Galileo support and a compass, and an accelerometer is present, though a gyroscope, barometer, and motion or optical tracking are absent. Security is handled by a fingerprint scanner, while 3D facial recognition and iris scanning are not featured. Satellite SOS, crash detection, HDMI output, infrared sensor, ANT+, heart rate monitor, DLNA certification, built-in projector, and a stylus are all absent.
