The Infinix Hot 7 Pro is a 2019 budget phone that Infinix no longer sells, and it stopped getting software support long ago. It shipped with Android 9 Pie, and Google stopped releasing Android 9 security patches in early 2022. Its current successor in the Hot line is the Infinix Hot 70, launched in May 2026 with a Helio G100 Ultimate chip, a 6,000mAh battery and Android 16. If you are buying today, look for a phone that runs a current Android version, has a promised update schedule and has a battery of at least 5,000mAh.
When it launched, the Hot 7 Pro’s main selling points were:
- An octa-core MediaTek Helio P22 processor clocked at up to 2.0GHz, which was quick for a budget phone in 2019.
- Android 9.0 Pie with Infinix’s XOS 5.0 skin, the newest Android version at the time, with Google’s security patches from that period.
- 3GB of RAM on the African model and 6GB on the Indian model. Both were generous amounts for the price at the time.

Infinix Hot 7 Pro: Introduction
The Hot 7 Pro was part of Infinix Mobility’s 2019 Hot series. It replaced the Infinix Hot 6 Pro from 2018.
It was also the upgraded version of the Infinix Hot 7. In Africa, the Hot 7 came as the X624 with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, and as the X624B with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Infinix released several Hot 7 versions that year, and the Pro had the best hardware of them.
The phone came out in more than one market. In India it launched in June 2019 with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. In Nigeria and other African markets, buyers mostly got the 3GB and 32GB X625B.
Infinix Hot 7 Pro: Review
This review is based on the published specs and launch coverage. It shows what the phone offered in 2019 and how that compares with what budget phones offer now.
Body
At about 155 x 74.8 x 7.9 mm and roughly 165 g in most spec listings, the Hot 7 Pro followed the tall, narrow 19:9 design that budget phones adopted in 2019.
The 6.2-inch screen filled most of the front, and a fingerprint sensor sat on the back. Face unlock was also included. The phone is about the same size as the standard Infinix Hot 7, which also has a 6.2-inch display.
Screen and Resolution
The Hot 7 Pro uses a 6.2-inch IPS LCD panel at 720 x 1520 pixels (HD+). Infinix had used this kind of screen on its budget phones for years.
Some listings give the resolution as 720 x 1500, but the Hot 7 Pro is usually listed at 720 x 1520 in a 19:9 shape. In 2019, a large HD+ screen at this price was good for videos and social media. Today it looks dated. The Infinix Hot 70 has a bigger 6.78-inch LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the Hot 60 Pro from 2025 has a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel that runs at 144Hz.
Operating System (OS)
The Hot 7 Pro shipped with Android 9.0 Pie and XOS 5.0. The African Hot 7 models came with Android 8.1 Oreo, and the 1GB X624 ran the lighter Go Edition.
In 2019, Pie was the newest version of Android. It kept the features of earlier versions and added newer security protections. That is history now. Android 9 has not received security patches since early 2022, so a Hot 7 Pro still in use today is missing years of fixes. For comparison, the Hot 70 ships with Android 16 and XOS 16.
System on Chip (SoC)
The chip controls how smooth the phone feels every day, because it runs the apps, the camera processing and the graphics.
Most spec sheets list the MediaTek Helio P22 (MT6762), made on a 12nm process. It has eight cores clocked at up to 2.0GHz. For graphics it uses a PowerVR GE8320 GPU. That was fine for light gaming and everyday apps in 2019, but it was an entry-level GPU, not a high-end one. Spec listings for some regional variants do not fully agree on the chip, so check the model number on the box or in the settings if the exact chip matters to you.
Storage
The African Hot 7 Pro has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The Indian model has 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
With 3GB of RAM, switching between a few light apps works well. Heavy multitasking is harder. Of the 32GB of storage, the system takes a share, so space fills up quickly with photos, WhatsApp media and games. A microSD slot lets you add more storage, and the old listing gave a limit of up to 128GB. Today, 128GB of built-in storage is normal on budget phones. The Hot 60 Pro, for example, comes with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage.
Camera
The Hot 7 Pro has a dual camera on the back and another on the front. Each pairs a 13MP main sensor with a 2MP depth sensor.
The depth sensors help with portrait-style background blur, but they do not improve detail. Photos are fine in good light for a budget phone and much weaker in low light. Nobody should expect flagship results from it, and Infinix did not claim them. Two cameras on the front was a rare feature at this price in 2019, and it was the main thing the phone advertised.
Battery
The Hot 7 Pro has a 4,000mAh non-removable lithium-polymer battery. In 2019, that was enough for a full day of normal use.
The HD+ screen and the 12nm chip are fairly easy on power, so the battery did better than the large display might suggest. Budget phones have moved on since then. The Hot 60 Pro has a 5,160mAh battery with 45W charging, and the Hot 70 has a 6,000mAh battery, also with 45W charging. A Hot 7 Pro still in use is also likely to have an old, worn battery that holds less charge than it did when new.
Infinix Hot 7 Pro: Verdict
In 2019, the Hot 7 Pro was easy to recommend at its price to most buyers. It had a large screen, dual cameras on both sides, a 4,000mAh battery and more RAM than most rivals.
Its weak spots were heavy gaming and demanding creative apps. The PowerVR GE8320 GPU and the 32GB of storage on the African model struggled with them. In 2026, the verdict is different. The phone runs an unsupported version of Android, so buying one, even cheaply, makes sense only as a spare or a backup phone. For a main phone, a current Hot model or another budget phone with ongoing security updates is the safer choice.

FAQ
Is the Infinix Hot 7 Pro still supported with updates?
No. It shipped with Android 9 Pie, and Google stopped releasing Android 9 security patches in early 2022. The phone still works, but it is missing years of security fixes, so it is a poor choice for banking or payment apps.
What replaced the Infinix Hot 7 Pro?
Infinix has released a new Hot series every year since then. The current model is the Hot 70, launched in May 2026 with a Helio G100 Ultimate chip, a 6.78-inch 120Hz screen and a 6,000mAh battery. Before it came the 2025 Hot 60 Pro, which has a 144Hz AMOLED screen and a Helio G200 chip.
What chip does the Infinix Hot 7 Pro use?
Most spec sheets list the MediaTek Helio P22 (MT6762), an octa-core chip clocked at up to 2.0GHz and made on a 12nm process. It uses a PowerVR GE8320 GPU. Older articles that call the processor quad-core are wrong, because the P22 has eight cores.
How much RAM does the Infinix Hot 7 Pro have?
It depends on the market. The African X625B has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The Indian model launched with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
Is a used Infinix Hot 7 Pro worth buying in 2026?
Only as a cheap spare or a phone for basic calls. Its outdated software, small 32GB of storage on the African model and probably worn battery make it a weak main phone. A current budget model with a newer Android version and security updates is better value over time.
What is the difference between the Infinix Hot 7 and the Hot 7 Pro?
The Infinix Hot 7 used a slower quad-core MediaTek MT6580 chip with 1GB or 2GB of RAM, and its African models ran Android 8.1 Oreo. The Pro moved up to the octa-core Helio P22, more RAM, Android 9 Pie and dual cameras on both the front and the back. Both have a 6.2-inch screen and a 4,000mAh battery.
