ALTERNATIVE: The Tecno Spark 50 Pro is the Infinix Hot 70’s biggest rival in this segment. The two phones are nearly identical, sharing the same screen size, design language, and core specs. But the Spark 50 Pro pulls ahead in a few key areas: it offers a superior rear camera, faster charging, and a sturdier, more durable body. However, unlike the Hot 70, Tecno doesn't promise any major software updates. Plus, you won't find earphones in the Spark's box—something Infinix includes.

DESIGN:
Visually, the Infinix Hot 70 (x6895b) inherits its design language from the older Infinix Hot 60i, retaining the familiar hole-punch display, flat sides, and flat rear panel. However, the new model introduces a slightly larger screen with more rounded corners. While these aesthetic tweaks are subtle, the rear camera bump is the real differentiator. Although it keeps the same vertical orientation and general shape as the 60i, the new bump is noticeably shorter—and unfortunately, looks a bit less premium.

In terms of build quality, the Hot 70 offers some major upgrades. Infinix replaced the older model's IP64 splash resistance with a more robust IP65 rating, giving it better protection against low-pressure water jets. It also earns an SGS durability certification, meaning it can withstand drops from up to 1.5 meters. To accommodate a larger battery, the Hot 70 is slightly heavier at 195g (up from the Hot 60i's 189g). However, it remarkably achieves a slimmer profile, measuring just 7.49mm thick compared to its predecessor's 7.7mm.

While the Hot 70 unfortunately drops the traditional 3.5mm audio jack, the rest of its physical layout closely mirrors the Hot 60i. The right side holds the volume rocker, a fingerprint-integrated power button, and Infinix’s custom orange One-Tap button. Because the audio jack is gone, the bottom edge is streamlined down to a microphone, a USB-C port, and the main speaker. A 3-in-1 tray (supporting dual 4G nano-SIMs and a microSD card) occupies the left side, while the top frame houses a secondary speaker. The IR blaster has also returned to its earlier position—inside the rear camera bump.

DISPLAY:
Moving up from the 6.7-inch display of the Hot 60i, the Hot 70 features a minutely larger 6.78-inch display. Though it is a 720p IPS-LCD panel like the one on the earlier model, it has a slightly different resolution of 720-by-1576 pixels. However, the maximum supported refresh rate remains 120Hz, and the peak brightness is also 700 nits. As a result, the display's picture quality is identical to that of the earlier phone.

Generally, as with most phones with 720p displays, the sharpness and colour reproduction of the Hot 70 won't wow you, but the display looks quite good and offers a smooth scrolling experience for YouTube video playback, social media content, and internet browsing. Additionally, with its 700 nits peak brightness, the Hot 70 display is bright enough for most lighting conditions. It is even viewable under direct sunlight.

Still, if display quality is your priority, I recommend spending a bit more to move up from the Hot 70 to either the Redmi 15 4G or the Samsung Galaxy A17 4G. While the Redmi retains an IPS-LCD screen, it provides better brightness and a sharper 1080p resolution than the Hot 70. The Samsung is an even stronger upgrade, offering a vibrant 1080p AMOLED panel that outperforms both the Infinix and Redmi displays.

CAMERA:
The Infinix Hot 70 camera setup remains identical to that of the Hot 60i, featuring a 50MP camera on the back and an 8MP camera on the front. Consequently, the Hot 70's camera performance—which is quite decent—is very similar to its predecessor's. Basically, photos taken with the phone's rear camera are not remarkably detailed, but they are sharp and clear with lifelike colour rendition. Portrait shots are good, and the dynamic range is passable. Low-light shots are not that impressive, however, so it is advisable to take photos in a well-lit environment or under good lighting conditions to get the best results.

Selfies taken with the Hot 70's front camera are noticeably clear and sharp too, though not as detailed as the ones taken with the rear camera. The selfies also maintain the good colour reproduction seen in the rear camera shots, and skin tones look fine.
With both its rear and front cameras, the Infinix Hot 70 can shoot videos at up to 2K at 30 fps (frames per second). There's no video stabilization though, so footage can get shaky.

By the way, while other phones in this price bracket offer similar image sharpness, the Hot 70 manages to slightly outshine them with its punchier, more lifelike colour rendition. However, as noted before, the Tecno Spark 50 Pro remains the superior choice for high-detail, true-to-life photography.

CPU, RAM, & STORAGE:
Powering the device is the MediaTek Helio G100 processor—a 12nm octa-core CPU with clock speeds reaching up to 2.2GHz. This chipset is beefier and more power-efficient than the Helio G81 12nm CPU that's inside the Hot 60i. So, while the earlier device is more suitable for everyday use and light workloads such as watching YouTube videos and scrolling through social media, the Hot 70 has the potential to handle a little more demanding tasks, such as gaming. However, it is important to keep your expectations in check, as the G100 is still an entry-level chipset. To get the best performance, you will want to stick to casual or less demanding titles.

Beyond the processor, the Hot 70 also sees notable upgrade in storage type. Though, like that of the Hot 60i, the base model of the Hot 70 is equipped with 4GB of RAM, and the maximum amount of RAM supported is still 8GB. Furthermore, like the earlier phone, the Hot 70 is available in two internal storage options: 128GB and 256GB. The internal storage can also be expanded up to 2TB via a microSD card.

However, the Hot 70 utilizes UFS 2.2 internal storage, which is significantly faster than the eMMC 5.1 storage found on the earlier phone.

Thanks to this combination of a more powerful CPU and faster storage technology, the Hot 70 offers a noticeably snappier day-to-day experience compared to its predecessor and similarly priced rivals.

SOFTWARE:
Software is where the Hot 70 truly distances itself from the Hot 60i. While the older model shipped with Android 15 and zero update commitments, the Hot 70 launches on Android 16 and comes with an impressive guarantee of 3 major OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches. In this price bracket, only Samsung and Redmi offer superior long-term software support. That said, neither competitor can hold a candle to Infinix when it comes to AI integration; the Hot 70 comes packed with a robust suite of AI features designed to deliver a highly intuitive and seamless user experience.

BATTERY & CHARGING:
In the power department, the Hot 70 gets a substantial upgrade, jumping from the Hot 60i's 5,200 mAh cell to a massive 6,000 mAh battery. While charging speeds remain capped at the same 45W as the previous generation, Infinix still holds a competitive edge, as most budget rivals top out well below this wattage, except for the Spark 50 Pro that features 60W fast charging.

Furthermore, the Hot 70 retains the Hot 60i's 10W reverse wired charging capability. This practical feature essentially transforms the Hot 70 into a pocket-sized power bank, letting you juice up smaller accessories like wireless earbuds or rescue a friend's dying phone in an emergency.
Using the included 45W charger, the phone's battery can go from empty to full in about one and half hour.
