Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ Review: Slim Design, Big Performance

The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ is not just another budget smartphone, it’s a bold statement from Infinix that affordability doesn’t have to mean compromise. At just 5.95mm thin and weighing only 155 grams, this phone manages to look stylish, feel premium, and still deliver powerful performance. If you’ve been holding onto the belief that budget devices always cut corners, the Hot 60 Pro+ is here to change your mind.

Design and Display

One of the first things you’ll notice about the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ is how sleek it feels in hand. The ultra-thin profile makes it one of the slimmest smartphones in its category, while the aluminum frame and curved glass back give it a refined flagship-like design. Our unit came in “Coral Tides,” a colorway that looks fresh, youthful, and instantly eye-catching.

The phone sports a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a 1224p resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. Colors are vibrant but not overblown, and the brightness peaks at a staggering 4,500 nits making outdoor use a breeze even under direct sunlight.

The subtle curve of the screen adds sophistication without being too aggressive, and edge-swipes feel natural when navigating. Eye comfort features like DC dimming and blue-light reduction make late-night scrolling easier on your eyes.

Performance and Gaming

Powering the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ is the MediaTek Helio G200 processor paired with 8GB RAM (expandable up to 16GB with virtual RAM). For everyday use, social media, browsing, productivity apps, and even light photo editing, the phone handles tasks smoothly and consistently.

Where this phone shines unexpectedly is gaming. With an 11-layer cooling system, the Hot 60 Pro+ stays cool even during extended gaming sessions. Titles like COD Mobile run stably at medium settings, with no frame drops or overheating issues. The dedicated Game Mode automatically boosts performance while blocking notifications, creating a distraction-free experience.

Camera Capabilities

The 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor is a pleasant surprise in this price range. Daylight photos come out sharp with natural colors and good dynamic range. While it won’t replace a flagship camera, the results are definitely Instagram-ready.

Low-light photography is the only weak spot—images get softer and sometimes show aggressive AI sharpening. The 13MP front camera is good enough for selfies and video calls, though results in poor lighting are average.

Portrait mode works decently, but edge detection can be hit or miss depending on the background. Overall, the Hot 60 Pro+ delivers reliable camera performance for casual photography.

Battery and Charging

Despite its slim profile, Infinix manages to fit in a 5,160mAh battery. On a single charge, the phone easily lasts a full day of heavy use or up to a day and a half for moderate users. Standby performance is also impressive, no major battery drain when idle.

The included 45W fast charger takes the phone from 0–50% in around 25 minutes, with a full charge in under an hour. There’s even reverse charging, so you can use the Hot 60 Pro+ to top up your wireless earbuds or smartwatch.

Software and AI Features

Running on XOS 15.1 (based on Android 15), the software feels clean and well-optimized. Animations are smooth, and useful AI tools like Circle to Search and smart voice assistants work reliably.

There is some bloatware, but most of it can be uninstalled. Infinix also promises 3 years of Android updates and 5 years of security patches, which is reassuring for buyers.

Verdict: Premium Feel Without the Price

The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ is a rare budget smartphone that balances design, performance, and value. With its slim profile, vivid AMOLED display, reliable processor, capable cameras, and strong battery life, it’s easily one of the best phones you can buy in its price range today.

For students, professionals, or anyone who wants a stylish phone with solid specs without overspending, the Hot 60 Pro+ is a smart choice.
