Infinix Hot 40i Price and Variants
Two storage configurations of the Infinix Hot 40i are currently available in Saudi Arabia. The entry-level 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant is priced at SAR 375 (approximately Rs 8,331), while the more capable 8GB RAM + 256GB storage model retails at SAR 465 (approximately Rs 10,331). Both versions are offered in three colour choices: Palm Blue, Horizon Gold, and Starlight Black.
It is worth noting that Indian pricing and availability have not been announced yet.
