Infinix Mobility recently released the long-awaited Infinix Hot 7 featuring 6.2-inch, IPS LCD capacity touchscreen, 1500 x 720 pixels with notch display, 1/2GB RAM, 16/32 ROM, 8MP + 13MP front and back camera, Android 8.1 operating system, and 4000 mAh battery.
The new Hot 7 looks great but the features are not what I expected even hot 6 Pro seems to offer more than Hot 7. Though I know that after the reason of Hot 7 then Hot 7 Pro version with my features will follow.
I was eager to see what Infinix Hot 7 has to offer but there is not special to talk about, maybe they want to make the phone affordable to their users by compromising some important features.
Key Features
To cut the long story short, let check out some important features that you should expect to see on this phone.
According to the information I got from Infinix official website, the phone has 1G RAM and 16GB ROM but there other info that shows that the phone might be coming in two versions. 1GB/16GB version and 2GB/32GB version.

Hot 7 Review
All I can say is that I was impressed to see how unique the phone looks but outside it nothing much to expect.
However, the big 6.2-inch, IPS LCD capacity touchscreen, 1500 x 720 pixels notch display is something we can’t ignore. the phone looks bigger and offers a bigger display for your viewing pleasure.
Again the phone is powered by Android 8.1 Oreo operating system clocked with quad-core 1.3GHz CPU (MediaTek MT6580P) processor optimized for speed.
Memory/Camera
Whether its 1GB or 2GB random access memory (RAM) you are still good to go if you just looking for an affordable Android phone with average performance and features. 16/32GB storage memory is not something to be worried about since you can extend it to 128GB with MicroSD card.
Moreover, even if other features are not up to your expectation, the 13-megapixel main 8-megapixel front camera is not bad but when it comes to the battery there is nothing new.
Battery
Infinix Hot 7 is powered by a 4000 mAh non-removable battery capacity that will surely last longer than expected.
I was disappointed to see Infinix release a smartphone without a 4G network in this modern age. though that doesn’t mean the network will not be fast but 4G has become a must these days.
There are other features to cheer you up like dual sim, Fingerprint sensor, and face ID are all present on the new Hot 7.
