Infinix Unveils HOT 70 Pro 5G: More Expressive, More Interactive, More Pro

Following the launch of HOT 70, Infinix expands the series with HOT 70 Pro 5G, a more expressive, playful, and capable step-up experience built for the next generation of young users.

HONG KONG, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The HOT 70 Series is designed for a generation that expects technology to fit naturally into various parts of their lives. Today, Infinix expands that vision with HOT 70 Pro 5G, taking the series' "Colorful, Versatile, Fun" spirit into a bolder and more capable space. While HOT 70 establishes the accessible and versatile foundation of the series, HOT 70 Pro 5G adds a more distinctive design, richer ways to interact, and stronger capability for more demanding everyday use.

Positioned as the Icon of Playful AI Versatility & Reliability, HOT 70 Pro 5G is designed to feel both personal and practical. Its color-changing finishes and interactive features give users new ways to express themselves, while intuitive AI and dependable performance help them stay creative, productive, and connected. Ever-changing, ever-shining — HOT 70 Pro 5G is built for a generation ready to express more and take on more.

A Design That Changes with the Moment

The HOT 70 Series is designed to stand out. While HOT 70 brought a bold, playful energy through the signature Thermo Orange, HOT 70 Pro 5G expands the series with four unique finishes that respond to their surroundings in different ways. From color shifts triggered by temperature and light to textures that reveal movement and depth, the design offers more than a fixed look. At 7.85mm^[1] slim and 204g light, with the soft-touch Baby-Smooth Finish, it remains comfortable and easy to carry throughout the day.

As the signature finish of the HOT 70 Series, Thermo Orange makes color something users can actively play with. Its Dual-way Thermo Sensing Skin deepens into a saturated Quiet Orange below 0°C and shifts to a lighter tone of Playful Orange at around 65°C. When the back panel is in Quiet Orange, users can apply localized heat with hot-glue sticks to create semi-temporary symbols, names, or patterns directly on the surface. The interaction turns the phone into more than a color choice, but a personal canvas that can change from one moment to the next.

Mirage Green follows the rhythm of the day. The industry-first Color Changing Mirage Leather appears subtle under daylight, then reveals a luminous, starry-sky texture in darker surroundings after exposure to natural light. The same phone can look subtle yet classy at a daytime meeting, then reveal a shimmering effect once the surroundings become completely dark. The transformation creates an easy before-and-after story without needing a filter or edit.

The other finishes bring movement through perspective. Silk Glow Purple uses a nano-level crystal texture that shifts as the phone tilts, creating layered color and a soft, translucent glow. Depth Ring White takes a more sculptural approach, using a 3D Floating Finish to create visible depth across the back panel. Together with the cleaner Dive Blue and Night Pulse options, the range gives users different ways to match the phone to their style — from subtle and polished to more playful and eye-catching.

More Ways to Express, Act, and Create

HOT 70 Pro 5G introduces the all-new Active Matrix Cube, turning the rear camera area into a playful space for expression and interaction. It supports status alerts, ambient lighting, shake-to-play mini-games, and custom expressions in Matrix Studio. A call notification can appear while the phone is facing down, ambient light can add atmosphere during music playback, and a personalized emoji can give a visual identity of its own. At gatherings, mini-games such as Lucky Wheel and Lucky Numbers can also turn the phone into an easy social icebreaker.

While Active Matrix Cube makes interactions more visible and expressive, the dedicated One-Tap AI Button is designed to speed up everyday tasks. A short press launches AI FlashMemo^[2], which recognizes both the content on screen and the next action users may want to take. A sports game can be added directly to the calendar, a business card can be saved as a contact, and an email address can open in Gmail with the recipient already filled in. Actions that would normally require several steps can begin with a single press.

Captured content then flows into AI MindHub, where notes, videos, screenshots, and other saved information are automatically organized into one searchable space. In supported markets, AI Class Timetable^[3] further simplifies study planning. Students can photograph or upload a class schedule in the Calendar app, and the phone automatically recognizes the course information and times. Then, a structured timetable will be generated with reminders, removing the need to manually enter and update each class.

For broader assistance, a long press activates Folax AI, giving users access to five leading AI models, including ChatGPT and Google Gemini, as well as cross-app actions, without interrupting what they are doing. They can ask for an explanation while reading an article, compare information during product research, or move directly from on-screen content to the next action without switching repeatedly between apps.

HOT 70 Series users can also receive a three-month trial of Google AI Plus (2 TB)^[4] at no cost. The plan provides expanded access to tools, including Gemini, Nano Banana 2, and NotebookLM, to support activities such as writing, image creation, research, study, and file backup across Google services.

HOT 70 Pro 5G also steps up everyday imaging with a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera and 2X lossless zoom. Whether capturing a performer from farther back, a detail across the street, or a candid moment without moving closer, users can bring the subject into focus while retaining more clarity. An upgraded Vlog mode supports quick storytelling from day trips, campus events, and nights out, while AI Live Photo Mode helps preserve the best part of a moving moment. Smart tools, including AI Eraser and AI Extender, keep final edits simple, and Instant Transfer makes cross-platform sharing easier.

AI also gives users more control over how the device looks. Introduced for the first time in the HOT Series, AI Theme Generator transforms a chosen image, from a travel photo to a favorite celebrity, into a coordinated theme with a depth-effect home screen. Together with AI Custom Wallpapers^[5], it extends personalization from the exterior design to the interface itself.

All-Day Performance, Backed by Military-Grade Reliability

Powering the experience is the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 platform, built on a 6nm process to support smooth multitasking, responsive AI functions, and gaming at up to 90 fps. It gives HOT 70 Pro 5G the headroom to move between navigation, video editing, social apps, and entertainment without forcing users to plan their day around the phone's limits. A suite of 5G optimizations also helps maintain a more stable and connected experience as users move between work, play, and travel.

That performance is matched by protection designed for unpredictable everyday moments. Certified to MIL-STD-810 standards, HOT 70 Pro 5G is engineered with military-grade reliability to better withstand accidental drops, daily knocks, and changing indoor and outdoor conditions. IP68-rated dust and water resistance further protect the device against sudden rain, dusty environments, and accidental splashes. After exposure to dust or moisture, Folax-Speaker Cleaner uses sonic vibrations to help clear the speaker and maintain clear sound.

HOT 70 Pro 5G is available with either a 6000mAh single-cell battery or a 5600mAh dual-cell battery^[6], depending on the market, and is paired with 45W Lightning FastCharge. The 6000mAh version reaches full charge in around 63 minutes, while the 5600mAh version takes around 53 minutes^[7]. With up to 27.6 hours^[7] of daily use, the phone is designed to carry users through calls, content creation, and streaming without making a charger the center of the day.

For situations that combine heavy use with charging, All-Scenario Bypass Charging routes power directly to the device instead of repeatedly cycling it through the battery. During an extended gaming session, a livestream, or a long camera shoot, the system helps manage heat and maintain more stable performance while the phone remains plugged in.

HOT 70 Pro 5G also introduces the segment's first flagship Motion Sickness Relief feature to the HOT Series. Using the gyroscope, it detects acceleration, turns, and bumps in real time, then displays dynamic on-screen dots that help reduce the sensory mismatch between what users see and feel while traveling. This makes activities such as watching videos, reading, or replying to messages more comfortable on the road.

Those experiences play out on a 6.76-inch FHD+ LTPS LCD with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, 240Hz touch sampling, and up to 950 nits HBM brightness. Fast scrolling looks fluid, games respond quickly to touch, and maps, messages, and camera previews remain easier to view outdoors. The display supports both sides of the HOT 70 Pro 5G experience: smooth entertainment when users have time to play, and clear, responsive information when they need to act quickly.

The reliability story continues through the everyday functions. Pure Voice helps separate speech from background noise during calls in traffic, cafés, and public transport. When cellular coverage is unavailable, UltraLink enables direct Bluetooth communication over distances of up to 1.5 km^[8]. And XGuard adds layers of privacy and app protection, while support for up to 3 major OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches^[9] helps keep the device useful and protected over a longer lifetime.

Leveraging NTT's core capabilities as a Financial Technology Infrastructure Leader to empower highly regulated FSIs in achieving sovereign private AI.

HONG KONG, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NTT Com Asia, part of the NTT Group, a leading global technology company, has released the service blueprint for its Financial AI Fabric (FAIF) in Hong Kong. Serving as a strategic roadmap to cultivate a resilient, future-ready technology ecosystem for Financial Services Institutions (FSIs), this framework integrates NTT Com Asia (NTT)'s world-class digital infrastructure assets and technologies to support secure, enterprise-grade AI deployment. The blueprint's private AI infrastructure layer unites three key infrastructure components: a photonic highway, AI data centers, and sovereign GPUs, addressing the critical need for Hong Kong FSIs to successfully transition AI workloads out of the sandbox and into full-scale production.

The company chose to debut the blueprint at LEAP East 2026, a premier event that brings together global investment and AI opportunities to Hong Kong.

The Market Challenge: The Shift to Private AI

As AI moves into core financial operations, digital infrastructure has escalated to a primary boardroom priority. Forward-thinking FSIs are shifting from cloud-only approaches to flexible hybrid AI infrastructures that span public cloud, colocation facilities, and sovereign data centers. Market indicators show this infrastructure rebalancing is accelerating rapidly.

This shift is particularly evident in Hong Kong, which has solidified its status as a prominent "Finance-driven AI hub". The city has become the definitive destination for significant overseas investment in recent years, including developments in financial innovations, creating a pressing need for a structured infrastructure roadmap that delivers performance, resilience, and strict regulatory compliance without compromise.

"We are witnessing a fundamental shift in how financial institutions evaluate technology, heavily driven by accelerating regional innovation and a powerful surge in inbound investment from markets like the Middle East into Hong Kong," said Stephen Tsang, Chief Revenue Officer of NTT Com Asia. "As a result, FSI infrastructure investments are no longer just back-end IT considerations—they have become central to boardroom discussions around ROI optimization and risk mitigation. Organizations need infrastructure that serves as predictable business drivers rather than an operational bottleneck."

NTT Financial AI Fabric: Core Infrastructure Reimagined

To meet this shifting enterprise demand, the blueprint's private AI infrastructure layer integrates NTT's core technical capabilities into three interconnected pillars designed to break traditional infrastructure bottlenecks:

• The Photonic Highway: APN InterLink delivers photonic connectivity for high-speed, ultra-low latency data exchange across distributed AI workloads.
• The AI Data Center Foundation: Next-generation data center environments featuring Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology and OCEAN Intelligence™, the AI-driven smart building platform that delivers total operation visibility, predictability and sustainability.
• The Sovereign GPU Layer: A dedicated, secure compute environment designed to support private AI adoption, ensuring FSIs maintain complete data sovereignty and regulatory alignment.

"The infrastructure requirements of financial services are changing rapidly as AI workloads become business-critical," said Steven So, Chief Operating Officer of NTT Com Asia. "To successfully move AI from experimentation and sandbox environments into full-scale production, financial institutions need trusted, high-performance infrastructure. The Financial AI Fabric service blueprint outlines exactly how we aim to build a collaborative, secure ecosystem that empowers enterprises to achieve true sovereign private AI while seamlessly navigating stringent regulatory environments."

Solidifying Hong Kong as the Regional AI Nexus

The recent presentation of the FAIF blueprint at the LEAP East event served as a key platform for industry engagement. Through thought leadership sessions led by NTT executives, regional financial leaders gained first-hand insights into how the blueprint bridges connectivity, AI-ready infrastructure, and sovereign compute capabilities.

"The introduction of the Financial AI Fabric blueprint reflects the company's global capabilities and innovation strength," said Daisuke Kuroda, Chief Executive Officer of NTT Com Asia. "By establishing this service roadmap, we are reinforcing Hong Kong's position as a leading financial AI hub and providing the entire FSI ecosystem with a clear, compliant path toward secure, sovereign private AI."

NTT Hong Kong Digital Infrastructure Portfolio at a Glance

To support the deployment of the Financial AI Fabric blueprint, NTT leverages a robust, live technology foundation across Hong Kong, designed for high-density, mission-critical enterprise workloads:

• Photonic Highway Deployment (APN InterLink): Co-launched by NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS, Inc. and NTT Com Asia, the All-Photonic Network (APN) infrastructure was commercially launched in Hong Kong on November 1, 2025. Leveraging Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN®) technology, it provides ultra-low latency and energy-efficient connectivity with zero electronic jitter to support high-frequency transactions and intensive distributed AI computing.
• Financial-Grade AI Data Centers: NTT owns and operates two specialized facilities in Hong Kong—the Tseung Kwan O Financial Data Center (FDC) and the Tai Po Data Center (TPDC). Both facilities have been optimized as financial-grade AI data centers, incorporating advanced Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) systems specifically engineered to handle the thermal and high-density power constraints demanded by complex large language model (LLM) training and inference. Powered by OCEAN Intelligence™, NTT's AI-driven smart operations platform, the data centers leverage AI-driven energy optimization, predictive maintenance, and intelligent operations to enhance efficiency, reliability, and operational resilience.
• Evolving GPU Infrastructure Capabilities: Building upon the photonic backbone and high-density data centers, NTT is actively building its infrastructure footprint to support a GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) launch later this year, giving regional financial institutions access to localized, sovereign compute resources on demand.
