Infinix turns Metro Manila walls Into a canvas highlighting HOT 70’s trendy colors
Infinix transformed Metro Manila Streets into a canvas highlighting HOT 70 smartphone colors.Infinix HOT 70 captures the muralFilipino artists bring Infinix HOT 70's colorways to Metro Manila wallsInfinix teamed up with some of the Philippines' top mural artists to bring its new HOT 70 smartphone colors to life across Metro Manila, turning city walls into large-scale artworks inspired by the phone's personality-driven color variants.The murals, built around the tagline "Life Full of Color When I Hold You," aim to connect technology, fashion, and street culture, giving Filipinos a way to experience the HOT 70 beyond the device itself.Thermo OrangeBringing colors and personalities to lifeThe first mural, based on the Thermo Orange variant, has gone up at Rumble Royale in Quezon City. It was created by mural artist and content creator Hannah Seuton alongside multimedia artist Beri (Bernadette Esther Irasga), with the piece capturing the bold, confident energy of the colorway.What I enjoyed most about this collaboration was how it brought us artists closer together. It was a truly dynamic creative process where we were able to build on each other's ideas without overpowering one another, resulting in something that genuinely reflected both of our personalities," said Seuton. "The HOT 70 also came in handy for both of us. Being outside, making murals, being dust- and water-resistant, is always a huge plus.Beri said the collaboration came together naturally. Our styles complement each other really well, so despite having our own creative perspectives, we share a similar vision. The entire ideation process felt seamless because we trusted one another, and the HOT 70 itself was very reliable during the process. I got to take advantage of the fast charging and all-day battery power, which helped a lot during the long day!More murals are on the way. Along EDSA in Makati, illustrator MBacinillo (Marvin Bacinillo) will interpret the Green Texture colorway, while Deafeye Studio will bring the Quiet Violet edition to Gateway 1 in Cubao. Green colorwayTogether, the murals form a trail across the city that highlights each color's distinct character.Designed to reflect your styleInfinix claims the HOT 70 is built for users who treat their phone as an extension of their personal style. I really resonate with the energy of the HOT 70. As creatives and trendsetters, we're always drawn to visuals that feel fresh yet nostalgic, which is why the retro-inspired vibe stood out to us. Our personalities are deeply embedded in the mural, from the concept to the execution. For us, the entire creative journey was a form of art, not just the finished mural itself, said Hannah.The standout Thermo Orange variant features a color-shifting back panel using bistable thermochromic ink, which shifts from a lighter orange in warm temperatures to a deeper shade in cooler ones.That shift-in-mood concept shaped Hannah and Beri's mural directly. As a Gen Z artist myself, I naturally relate to the personality of the HOT 70 because it's fun, energetic, and full of character. My artistic style leans toward warm and vibrant tones, so it felt natural to translate that energy into the mural. It was a great opportunity to express both my personal style and the spirit of the HOT 70 through our artwork," said Beri.The Green and Violet variants take a more refined approach, using Infinix's Lumina Flare light-flow texture and a Crystal Mood-tinted camera ring inspired by jewelry and couture fabric, producing subtle light-and-shadow effects depending on lighting.Violet colorway Explore and discover hidden rewardsVisitors who find the murals can join the HOT 70 Treasure Hunt. After completing the "Spot the #InfinixHOT70 Mural" activity, participants can search for hidden prizes at the mural sites, including a HOT 70 unit, Infinix merchandise, and "Try Again" cards that extend the hunt.The HOT 70 murals are open to the public across Metro Manila, with the treasure hunt running alongside them online.The Infinix HOT 70 is now available in six colors and four storage variants nationwide. Buyers can also get Google AI Plus with 2TB of cloud storage for three months and a free 12-month Viu Premium subscription, for a limited time, while supplies last.For more details, visit Infinix's official Facebook page. The HOT 70 is available via TikTok, Lazada, Shopee, and Home Credit.What do you guys think?
