Infinix Hot 7 is the latest smartphone from Infinix under it affordable HOT series.

Infinix hot 7 specifications

Infinix Hot 7 Key Specs and Features

  • 6.2-inch, IPS LCD capacity touchscreen, 1520 x 720 pixels
  • Android 8.1 (Oreo: Go Edition)
  • Quad-core MediaTek MT6580A 1/2GB RAM
  • 16GB built-in storage, up to 128GB with a memory card
  • Dual 13MP + 2MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera
  • Rear fingerprints scanner
  • 4000mAh non-removable Li-Ion battery

As seen in the checlisted list above, the specifications and features of the Infinix hot 7 is not too far from what we saw in the previous Hot 6, except for the introduction of an all new display cut-out, which adds more beauty and premium feels to the device.

Just as mentioned above, the Infinix Hot 7 comes with a 6.2-inch display, featuring 720 x 1520 pixels resolution. Above the device is the display cut-out, hosting the front-facing camera, LED flash, light sensor, and of course, the earpiece grill.

Surprisingly, Infinix Mobility is still using MediaTek’s MT6580 CPU. This is the older Quad-core Cortex-A7 SoC, clocked at 1.3GHz, along with Mali-400MP2 GPU. It has 1 GB of RAM and a 16 GB internal storage. The ability to expand RAM size 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 via SD card.

On the camera department, the Hot 7 is got a dual 13 + 2-megapixel sensor at the back, and a single 8-megapixel sensor up-front, coupled a single LED flash, to help brighten selfie photos at night

So what’s more? Does the Infinix Hot 7 have support for  4G LTE network? No. Hot 7 has only 3G network. Does the hot 7 have Fingerprint sensor and face Unlock? Yes, there’s a rear Fingerprint sensor and support for FaceID.

And just like the HOT 6, the hot 7 comes with dual Nano-SIM cards, Bluetooth 4.2  Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, 4000mAh battery and run on Android 8.1 (Oreo) out of the box. Read through the table below for other key specification and silent features of the Infinix Hot 7 smartphone.
