Infinix has officially launched the Hot 70 Pro 5G in India, which is a feature-rich smartphone available within the sub-₹30,000 budget range. The new handset has a high-refresh rate display, MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G processor, large 6,000mAh battery and a weird Active Matrix Cube on the rear panel. The phone is available at ₹24,999 for 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and ₹27,999 for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
One of the phone’s biggest points of departure is its rear Active Matrix Cube, AMC. Infinix added the rear panel for display, but rather than being purely a display of notifications and visual effects, Infinix also added an interactive lighting element to it. It provides information about incoming calls, messages, charging and other activities and gives the Hot 70 Pro 5G a different look compared to other smartphones.
