Some websites have already written that it has already been launched. The Infinix Hot 4 will be launched in Kenya very soon. It has already launched in Pakistan for 12,599 rupees which is equivalent to Ksh12,200 or around 120USD
During the Infinix Note 3 launch, Infinix Mobility’s Co-Founder and Managing Director Mr. Benjamin Jiang said that all future infinix smartphones will come with a finger print scanner. You can clearly see it in the leaked featured image.

My expected Price in Kenya is between Ksh8,500 and Ksh10,000
What seems to have changed
The new finger print scanner at the back is a good adition. The fingerprint scanner now forces the camera to be aligned at the centre unlike in the Hot 3 where it was on the back left.
The charger pin is now at the bottom and not at the top from pictures on pakistani website I likned to above. It had been like a tradition that all micro USB ports on the Hot series were at the top.
The bigger battery size is a huge surprise. We will see how the Infinix Hot 4 and the Hot Note will compare though it seems like the Hot 4 has many more features and bigger RAM.
What we dont know
Will the battery be removable? We know that all other Infinix smartphones with that big battery capacity had unremovable batteries. Examples are the Hot Note, Note 2, Note 2 LTE and now the Note 3.
The other feature we are not sure is going to be there is the noise cancelling dual mics. This feature was present in the Hot 4’s predecessors the Hot 3 and Hot 3 LTE.
