Of course, ability to expand RAM memory is not available in mobile phones yet, and don’t expect it anytime soon. But you can of course expand the built-in storage up to 32GB.

On the camera department, the Hot 7 is got a dual rear-mounted 13 + 2-megapixel sensor at the back. Turning to the front, is a single 8-megapixel sensor and a single front-facing LED kept within the display cut-out.
