Infinix unveils HOT 70 Pro 5G with AI features, military-grade durability

Infinix has expanded its HOT Series lineup with the introduction of the HOT 70 Pro 5G, a smartphone that combines AI-powered features, a customizable design, and military-grade durability. Positioned as the brand’s “Icon of Playful AI Versatility & Reliability,” the new device brings enhanced performance, personalization, and productivity features to users looking for a more capable midrange smartphone.

Why it matters: Smartphone makers are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence into everyday experiences beyond chatbots and photo editing. With the HOT 70 Pro 5G, Infinix is combining AI tools, interactive hardware, and durable construction to deliver features aimed at students, content creators, and mobile gamers.

The details: The HOT 70 Pro 5G introduces several new design options that react to their surroundings. The signature Thermo Orange finish changes color depending on temperature, shifting between darker and lighter shades. Users can also apply localized heat to temporarily create patterns or drawings on the rear panel.

Another standout option is Mirage Green, which uses a color-changing leather finish that transforms after exposure to natural light, revealing a starry texture in darker environments. Other finishes include Silk Glow Purple with a crystal-inspired texture, Depth Ring White featuring a three-dimensional floating effect, as well as Dive Blue and Night Pulse.

The phone also debuts the Active Matrix Cube, an interactive lighting system integrated into the rear camera module. It can display notifications, ambient lighting effects, mini-games, and customizable animations through Matrix Studio, adding another layer of personalization.

For productivity, the dedicated One-Tap AI Button provides quick access to AI FlashMemo, which can recognize on-screen content and suggest relevant actions. Users can save business cards as contacts, add sporting events to their calendars, or quickly launch email actions with a single press.

Captured content is automatically organized through AI MindHub, while students can use AI Class Timetable to scan printed schedules and generate digital class calendars with reminders.

Long pressing the AI button activates Folax AI, giving users access to multiple AI models, including ChatGPT and Google Gemini, without leaving the application they are currently using.

The HOT 70 Series also includes a complimentary three-month Google AI Plus subscription with 2TB of cloud storage, providing access to AI-powered tools for writing, research, image generation, and file management.

Photography is handled by a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera paired with 2x lossless zoom. The phone also includes AI-powered editing tools such as AI Eraser and AI Extender, AI Live Photo Mode, an upgraded Vlog mode, and Instant Transfer for easier file sharing.

It will be offered with 128GB and 256GB storage options, paired with 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM, along with up to 8GB of virtual RAM expansion. Pricing and local availability will be announced on a per-market basis.
