After weeks of teasing and leaks, Infinix finally unveiled the Hot 70 series. However, this launch is only for the vanilla Hot 70, so the Pro, the so-called Pro+, and the rest of the planned Hot 70 iterations will come at a later date. Still, the standard Infinix Hot 70 gives us a good idea of what to expect from the higher-end variants.
The centerpiece feature of the Hot 70 is the design, or at least the special Thermo Orange color. It reacts to heat, so when it’s cool, the orange color on the back is a darker shade (cool orange), but as it warms up, the paint gets brighter. Infinix calls the bright shade “Playful Orange.” The device also comes in Green Texture, Quiet Violet, Dive Blue, Silver Dancer and Night Pulse.

Hot 70 is also quite thin and light. It weighs 195 grams, and the thickness is said to be 7.49 mm.

As far as hardware is concerned, the handset is powered by the Helio G100 Ultimate chipset – the same one that powers last year’s Infinix Note 50 Pro and 50 Pro+ phones. Available memory configurations are 6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, 6GB/256GB and 8GB/256GB.
The display is a 6.78″ diagonal IPS LCD with 720 x 1576px resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Combined with the generous 6,000 mAh battery, which is quite impressive for a 7.5mm body, we expect solid battery endurance. The battery can be charged over the cable at up to 45W. Reverse charging at 10W is also supported.

When it comes to the camera, there’s a 50MP f/1.9 main shooter paired with an auxiliary lens at the back, but Infinix doesn’t specify its purpose. We suspect it’s just a simple depth sensor. An 8MP f/2.0 snapper is available on the front.
The Hot 70 runs on Android 16 out of the box with the company’s XOS 16 overlay on top.
It’s not exactly common for low-end phones to have a dedicated hardware button, but the Hot 70 has one, and you can assign shortcuts to apps or features.
