The Infinix Hot 70 has a clean modern design that feels premium for its price range. At just 7.5mm thickness, it is one of the slimmest phones in its budget category.
Dimensions: 167.9 x 79.1 x 7.5mm
Weight: 195 grams
Build: Glass front, plastic back and frame
IP65 rated — fully dust tight and protected against low pressure water jets. A step up from the Smart 20's IP64
Drop resistant up to 1.5 meters — good peace of mind for daily use
Colors available: Night Pulse, Dive Blue, Silver Dancer, Thermo Orange, Green Texture, and Quiet Violet — six color options which is great variety for this price.
The plastic back and frame keep costs down but the slim profile and large color range make it look and feel better than most budget phones.
The Infinix Hot 70 has a 6.78-inch IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 700 nits peak brightness. This is the same size as the Smart 20 but the Hot 70 offers a slightly better screen-to-body ratio at 84.4%.
Resolution: 720 x 1576 pixels (~256 PPI)
Smooth 120Hz scrolling — noticeably better than 60Hz or 90Hz budget phones
700 nits brightness — perfectly usable outdoors
One honest limitation — like many budget phones, the resolution is HD+ not Full HD. Up close, text and images are not as sharp as a 1080p screen. But for YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp, and everyday use, it looks completely fine.
This is where the Infinix Hot 70 really separates itself from cheaper alternatives. It runs on the MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate chip built on a modern 6nm process — a significant upgrade over the Helio G81 found in the Smart 20.
CPU: Octa-core (2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 + 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
GPU: Mali-G52 MC2
RAM options: 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB
Storage: 128GB or 256GB with UFS 2.2 — faster than the eMMC storage found in cheaper phones
Dedicated microSDXC slot — expand storage without sacrificing a SIM slot
The 6nm chip means better performance with less battery drain compared to older 12nm chips. Gaming performance is noticeably better — PUBG Mobile runs at smoother frame rates and the phone stays cooler during extended gaming sessions.
For heavy multitaskers, the 8GB RAM variant is worth considering. It handles multiple apps open at once without constant reloading.
The Infinix Hot 70 launches with Android 16 and XOS 16 — the latest software available right now. What makes this stand out is Infinix's promise of 3 major Android upgrades — meaning this phone will receive updates up to Android 19.
For a budget phone, this is exceptional. Most budget Android phones only promise one or two updates. Getting three years of major software updates means this phone stays relevant and secure for much longer.
XOS 16 is clean, responsive, and comes with useful features like smart charging management and customizable themes.
The Infinix Hot 70 brings a 50MP main camera — a meaningful jump over the 8MP camera on the Smart 20. At this price range, 50MP with autofocus is genuinely competitive.
Main Camera — 50MP
f/1.9 aperture with autofocus. Daylight photos come out sharp with good detail and decent color accuracy. HDR support helps in tricky lighting situations like bright skies behind subjects.
There is also an auxiliary lens alongside the main camera for depth sensing in portrait mode shots.
Video: Records up to 1440p at 30fps — better than what most budget phones offer.
Selfie Camera — 8MP
f/2.0 with dual-LED flash. Clean and sharp in good lighting — perfectly usable for WhatsApp and social media.
Low light performance on both cameras is average — which is expected at this price. But in good daylight, the 50MP main camera produces results that punch well above its price tag.
This is easily the most impressive spec on the entire phone. A 6000 mAh battery combined with 45W fast charging is something you rarely see at this price point.
6000 mAh — enough for two full days of moderate use easily
45W wired charging — 50% charge in just 25 minutes
10W reverse wired charging — charge other devices from your phone
Bypass charging — phone runs directly on power during gaming, reducing heat and protecting battery health long term
The bypass charging feature is particularly impressive at this budget. It means when you play games while charging, the battery is not constantly charging and discharging — which extends the overall battery lifespan significantly.
Like the Smart 20, the Hot 70 comes loaded with features you do not normally expect at this price:
NFC — contactless payments and quick data transfer
Infrared port — use as a TV or AC remote
FM Radio — works offline
3.5mm headphone jack — no adapter needed
USB-C with OTG — connect pen drives and accessories
Bluetooth 5.4 — latest version, faster and more stable
Stereo speakers — much better audio than single speaker budget phones
Gyroscope sensor — proper gaming sensor, useful for PUBG and other motion-based games
Side fingerprint sensor — fast and accurate
Getting stereo speakers and a gyroscope at this price is a real win for gamers and media consumers.
Buy it if:
Battery life is your top priority and you want something that lasts two days easily
You want 45W fast charging at a budget price
Gaming matters to you — Helio G100 handles it well
You want three years of Android updates
Stereo speakers and NFC are important to you
Think twice if:
PTA approval status is important — confirm before buying
You want a Full HD display — the HD+ screen is a limitation
Camera quality is your main focus — there are better camera options at slightly higher prices
Infinix Smart 20 — If budget is tighter and you need a basic daily driver under Rs. 35,000
Tecno Spark 30 — Strong competitor with a similar price and feature set
Redmi Note 14 — If you want a Full HD AMOLED display at a slightly higher budget
Samsung Galaxy A16 — If you prefer Samsung's long-term software support
The Infinix Hot 70 is one of the most value-packed phones available in Pakistan under Rs. 55,000 right now. The 6000 mAh battery with 45W charging, 50MP camera, Helio G100 chip, stereo speakers, NFC, and three major Android update promises all in one package is genuinely hard to beat at this price.
The HD+ display and non-PTA status are the two things to keep in mind before buying. But if those are not deal breakers for you — this phone offers more features per rupee than almost anything else in its category.
