Infinix Hot 7 is the latest smartphone from Infinix under it affordable HOT series. But unlike the Infinix Hot 6 and the hot 6 Pro, the new Infinix Hot 7 is design like the recently announced Hot 6x, featuring a large 6.2-inch display and the trending Notch display cut-out introduced in the Apple iPhone X.
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. However, the Hot 7 has a pro version which runs on a more powerful Mediatek CPUs.
It has 1/2 GB of RAM and a 16/32 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.

just got this phone few weeks – it rings and vibrate but does not display who is calling, so I am an able to pick up my calls. any help??
Hello, i have had this phone for almost a week now. Everything is well but what is bothering me is the fact that i got it missing the gallery and music apps pre-installed.. I had to download from play store.
Usually android phones come pre-installed with both apps but not this one..
Am wondering if that is really how it came originally or am having a "crone" please get back to me because its really eating me up. Been using HOT 5, upgraded to this but i miss my hot 5
With this review, it seems I will jejely just continue using my hot5
Why is it that infinix hot 7 did not approve 4g .. it's most annoying thin, please try and work on upgrading it to 4g. Thanks
3G or 4G modems are hardwares. No one update phone hardware. So it simple, just pick up the Hot 7 Pro instead.
Hello, any one to help me i cannot receive calls on this infinix hot 7 while doing other things though it vibrates but i cant receive. Its irritating me
why is infinix hot 7 not supporting 4g yet its a new brand in mkt most phones in android version 8 and above upgraded .why this annoys me a lot no its like I wasted my money and its 3g is slow
Despite what other people are complaining about on this phone, I have tested it and I think it is great. This is a low-end-user phone but people expect stuff they should be looking for on an iPhone X! Guys, can't we sometimes say "Thank you"?
Bro Na wa ooo. Which one be thank you again. Didn’t you pay for the phone?
What the hell happen to this hot7 without 4g network.i fell like I am coned by the company because hot5 had supported 4g network.why step backward
No Gallary,No Music Nor Video App..Seriously I Just Don't Understand This..
Am So Pissed Off Right Now..
The Most Annoying Part Is The Fact That The phone Is Slow..its Totally Delaying everything am doing in the phone..
Honesty I never got I'd be this disappointed in this Hot 7
Totally Messed Up!
I got this infinix hot7 not up to a week, but I can't receive an incoming call. It will ring but won't show who is calling nor show how to pick the call. I don't know if there is anything I can do to resolve this issue. Please can someone help me how to go abt the issue, u can message me on my WhatsApp num 09034386445
Honestly infinix really f**k up on this, everything about this phone is shit. They should make it more better than this, I was told by a friend that hot 7 is out but when I checked the feature of this fone in fact I was dissapointed
I found out that my rear camera picture is dark, even when I use it during the day. Any help please
I have used this phone for about two months now but only if they can design an app that can enable OTG(on the go) it would be better
And more so enable the breathing light for message notifications
I thoought i was lost. So this phone does’nt enanle USB OTG? Anyway have you succeeded?
Sorry friends, no support for USB OTG on the Hot 7. OTG is partly hardware and partly software. If hardware part is not present, software tweaking will be of not help.
The phone hotspot doesn't work what might have be the problem
This phone really is good ,and apart from what others have said the most astonishing feature is that the is no notification lights is real bouring.by U.®.B™
