Infinix Hot 70 Set to Debut Globally Soon: Can It Surpass the Hot 60?

The Hot series from Infinix has always been one of the more fun and exciting lineups the brand offers, with great displays, unique designs, and solid value for money. But then again, that is true for most Infinix phones. And this year, Infinix has kicked off the Hot series in 2026 with the Infinix Hot 70.

The phone has not officially launched globally just yet, but it is already available for purchase in Bangladesh, lucky them. As for the global release, the Hot 70 goes live on May 25.

What is the Price of Infinix Hot 70 in Nepal?

In Bangladesh, the Hot 70 starts at BDT 18,999 for the 4GB/128GB option. Meanwhile, the 6GB/128GB and 8GB/128GB variants cost BDT 21,999 and BDT 25,999, respectively.

So, based on that, the Infinix Hot 70 price in Nepal could start from Rs. 23,999 for the 4/128GB, Rs.  27,999 for the 6/128GB, and Rs. 32,999 for the 8/128GB variant.

As mentioned, the phone has not officially debuted globally yet and will do so on May 25. It could then take a couple of weeks before it becomes available for purchase in Nepal.

While the Hot series might be the most fun lineup from Infinix, there is a good chance we may not see the base variant enter Nepal.

Looking at the Hot series history in Nepal, ever since Infinix brought the Hot 12 back in 2022, the base model has not made it here. What we have been getting instead are the i, Pro, and Pro+ variants, with the “i” sitting at the bottom and the Pro+ at the top of the lineup.

This year, Infinix is expected to follow the same pattern with the Hot 70 series. But let’s hope this time is different, because based on what the base Hot 70 is already offering, it would be a shame to miss out on it.

Infinix Hot 70 Overview

Starting with the design, the Hot 70 looks very different from the rest of the Hot phones we have gotten in past years. It still has a vertical camera module, but it is now enclosed instead of having three separate cutouts, as we have seen since the Hot 50 series.

Speaking of camera cutout, one of which now features an Active Halo light, which looks pretty cool.

The camera housing also features a thick border that matches the flat frame accent, and honestly, the new design looks a lot more pleasing and futuristic compared to what came before.

Being a budget series, it features a complete plastic body, a plastic back, and a plastic frame. Speaking of the frame, there is a new One-Tap AI button, similar to what we have seen on Infinix phones like the Note 60 series. And since it is also advertised as a One-Tap button, you can likely customize it to your liking as well.

The Infinix Hot 70 is available in four color options: Green Texture, Night Pulse, Silver Dancer, and Quite Violet. Notably, the Night Pulse variant features a color-changing rear panel that appears to react to temperature changes, a fun and unique touch for a budget phone.

To the front, there is a big 6.78-inch IPS LCD panel with HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, the same setup as the Hot 60. It may seem like a downgrade compared to the 1.5K AMOLED on the Hot 60 Pro series, but this is the base Hot model, so no complaints there.

Worth mentioning here, the Hot 70 also comes with NFC, which is a genuinely impressive addition and something most budget phones still do not offer.

But where I do have a complaint is the performance department. The Hot 70 features the Helio G100 Ultimate, a very capable chip found on popular phones like the Samsung Galaxy A07 and Infinix’s own Hot 60 Pro series. However, it is actually a downgrade from the Hot 60, which ran the Dimensity 7020, a 5G chipset. Dropping back to 4G here is quite unexpected and a bit disappointing.

As for memory, the phone ships with 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM paired with 128GB of storage. A dedicated microSD card slot is included for expansion, which helps soften the blow.
The camera remains unchanged, the same single 50MP main shooter and 8MP selfie setup as the Hot 60 series. Nothing new, but nothing broken either.

On the battery front, 6,000mAh is quickly becoming the new norm, and the Hot 70 follows suit. The charging gets a notable upgrade to 45W, which, compared to the Hot 60 Pro series, may not seem dramatic, but compared to the Hot 60’s 18W, the difference is massive.

Lastly, the phone ships with Android 16 with XOS 16 on top. And if past Infinix launches are anything to go by, the Hot 70 will likely also come with 3 major OS upgrades.

Prior to the Infinix Hot 70’s official debut, it’s still a bit too early to give a final verdict. That said, Infinix has generally built a solid track record when it comes to offering strong value-for-money devices.

The processor downgrade could be a bit disappointing, but the rest of the specs honestly don’t look bad at all. And with the right pricing strategy, the Hot 70 definitely has the potential to become a decent budget phone.

And if history is anything to go by, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Hot 70, if it launches in Nepal, ends up being just as desirable as the Infinix Hot 60 Series.
