Infinix just made things interesting in the budget phone space. The Infinix Hot 70 has officially launched in Bangladesh, and it has been on many people’s radar here in Nepal too. It is the follow-up to the Hot 60 series and brings some genuinely fun ideas to the table, including a back panel that changes color with temperature, a big battery, and a capable chip, all without asking too much from your wallet.
- Helio G100 Ultimate, up to 8GB RAM
- 6.78-inch IPS LCD, 120Hz display
- 50MP rear, 8MP selfie camera
- 6,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging
Design and Display
Let’s start with the thing everyone will notice first. The Hot 70 has a back panel that actually reacts to temperature changes. The Thermo Orange version goes from a deep, rich orange in cold weather to a lighter shade when it warms up. It sounds gimmicky on paper, but in person, it is the kind of thing that gets people talking. Not many phones at this price do anything remotely this interesting with their design.
If color-changing is not your thing, there are five other options to pick from including Green Texture, Quiet Violet, Dive Blue, Silver Dancer, and Night Pulse. The Quiet Violet and Green Texture versions also have a textured flame finish on the back, which looks great under light.
The phone itself is slim at 7.49mm and weighs 195g, so it sits comfortably in the hand. The IP65 rating means everyday dust and water splashes are not going to be a problem. Infinix has also added a TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification, so your eyes will thank you during those late-night scrolling sessions.
The screen is a 6.78-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, and everything from social media feeds to gaming looks really smooth because of it. The 240Hz touch response makes the screen feel quick under your fingers, and with 700 nits of brightness available, it holds up well when you take it outside.
Performance
Under the hood, the Hot 70 runs on the MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate chip built on a 6nm process. Paired with the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, it handles daily tasks, streaming, and casual gaming without any complaints. You can pick it up with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage at the base level, or go up to 8GB RAM with 256GB storage if you need more room. There is also a virtual RAM feature that can bump available memory up to 16GB, which helps when you have a lot of apps running at once.
Software-wise, the Hot 70 ships with XOS 16 based on Android 16, which is great to see on a budget phone. Infinix is backing it with three major Android updates and five years of security patches. That kind of long-term support is not something you normally get at this price point. There is a One-Tap AI Button on the side for quick access to AI tools, and features like AI Live Photo Mode and AI Extender come built in as well.
Camera
The camera setup is straightforward. You get a 50MP main shooter with an f/1.85 aperture, autofocus, and 2K video recording at 30fps. A secondary lens rounds out the rear setup. On the front, there is an 8MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture that also shoots 2K video, which is more than enough for video calls and selfies.
Both the front and back cameras have dual-LED flash, so low-light photos come out cleaner than you might expect. There is also a Halo Lighting ring on the back that glows for notifications. It is a small touch but one that adds a bit of character to the phone.

Battery and Connectivity
This is where the Hot 70 really earns its place. A 6,000mAh battery is no joke, and most users will get through a full day of heavy use without reaching for the charger. Light users can easily stretch it to two days. When it does need a top-up, 45W wired charging gets it filled up pretty quickly. The 10W reverse charging is a handy bonus if a friend needs some battery in a pinch. Bypass charging is supported too, which means gamers can play while plugged in without putting extra strain on the battery.
Connectivity covers everything you need. You get 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6 on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, NFC, FM Radio, an infrared blaster, and USB Type-C. The fingerprint scanner sits on the side and works fast.
