Powerful MediaTek G85 gaming chipset is a delight for gamers and heavy users
Adopting dual-core flagship CPU architecture, the MediaTek G85 makes the HOT 12 faster and more efficient than its predecessors. Gamers can enjoy smoother performance and high frame rates during heavy-duty gaming. The response time is much shorter while loading heavy applications. Moreover, its in-built softwares, Arena and game booster, enhance the gaming experience by integrating game applications into a single area. Added to that is Dar-Link – which offers an immersive gaming experience.
State-of-the-art extended RAM technology in HOT 12 provides a frictionless experience – allowing to run multiple demanding apps and switch between them without any lag. The RAM fusion technology helps to add an extended 5GB with the existing 6GB when needed. This feature is a remarkable addition compared not only to its predecessors but also to other high-priced smartphones on the market. The smartphone comes with an internal storage of 128GB.
‘Big Mac’ 5000 mAh battery
When it comes to gaming smartphones, large-capacity batteries are a must. Additionally, the huge screen and the powerful chipset demand a battery so that users can power through their day without any worries. The HOT 12 packs a 5000 mAh battery along with a Type-C 18W charger, which can provide 50% power in just about 50 minutes. The most incredible part is how the ultra-power mode can give 2.6 hours of usage at just 5%.

Silky-smooth 90Hz 6.82” display
