Infinix has officially confirmed that the Infinix HOT 70 Pro will debut on July 16.
This new budget contender picks up where last year’s HOT 60 Pro left off, which launched in the Philippines at just ₱6,999 (around $114).
Performance is where things get interesting. A fresh Geekbench listing (model X6896) points to a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G chipset, paired with Mali-G610 dual-core graphics and 8GB RAM. Running Android 16, the phone scored 978 single-core and 2,843 multi-core, a clear leap over the MediaTek Helio G200 that powered the HOT 70 Pro’s 4G-only predecessor.
Announcement of the Infinix HOT 70 Pro’s launch date
Design-wise, Infinix is aiming to stand out. Recent teasers show a Matrix Cube LED rear display, the same customizable secondary screen we tested on the Note 60 Pro back in April. Bringing that feature down to a cheaper model is a bold play, but exactly the kind of move that grabs attention in a crowded market.

The brand is also hyping up durability, touting the smartphone as drop-proof, waterproof, and dustproof — a triple layer of protection that makes “play without limits” more than just a tagline.
Adding to the flair, the Infinix HOT 70 Pro will ship in a splash of vibrant colors, including purple, orange, blue, green, and silver.
Of course, don’t expect the price to stay as low as last year’s. Between the jump to a 5G-capable Dimensity processor and rising memory/storage costs worldwide, a hike feels inevitable. We’ll know the damage soon enough — when the curtain lifts on the HOT 70 Pro’s launch day. Fingers crossed it’s still a steal.
