Infinix introduces its latest additions to the popular Hot series, the Infinix Hot 60 Pro and the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+. These new smartphones aim to deliver a premium user experience without a hefty price tag, emphasizing a sleek design, vibrant displays, capable performance, and enduring battery life. Let’s explore the features that set these devices apart.
Design & Build: Slim Profile and Durable Finish
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro and especially the Hot 60 Pro+ push the boundaries of smartphone thinness. The Hot 60 Pro+ stands out with an impressive 5.95mm ultra-slim body, positioning it among the thinnest 3D-curved screen phones globally. Both models showcase an attractive aesthetic with a lightweight plastic back and frame, with the Hot 60 Pro+ weighing a mere 155 grams. An IP65 rating for dust and splash resistance further enhances their durability.
The Hot 60 Pro+ offers a diverse palette of striking colors, including Coral Tides (a distinctive red-and-blue color-block design), Titanium Silver, Misty Violet, Sleek Black, Sonic Yellow, and Moco Cyber Green, allowing users to pick a style that suits them.
Display: Visuals That Captivate
Both the Hot 60 Pro and Hot 60 Pro+ boast a captivating 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display. The “Pro+” variant elevates the visual experience with a 1.5K resolution (1224 x 2720 pixels) and an exceptional 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring incredibly smooth visuals for all activities, from scrolling to gaming. The display achieves a remarkable 4500 nits peak brightness (1600 nits HBM brightness), making content exceptionally vivid and clear even under bright sunlight. With 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection, these displays offer an immersive and robust viewing experience. The Hot 60 Pro also features a 144Hz AMOLED display with excellent brightness.
Performance: Seamless Multitasking with Helio G200
At the core of both the Infinix Hot 60 Pro and Hot 60 Pro+ is the new MediaTek Helio G200 chipset, making its debut in these devices.10 This octa-core processor, built on a 6nm process, integrates two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz, alongside a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.11 This configuration, complemented by Infinix’s optimizations, promises responsive, smooth, and sustained performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and even light to moderate gaming. The devices are equipped with 8GB of RAM (expandable with virtual RAM) and come with storage options of 128GB or 256GB (UFS 2.2). The Hot 60 Pro+ also features an advanced 11-layer cooling system for optimal thermal management during intensive use.
Cameras: Capturing Life’s Moments with Clarity
Both smartphones are outfitted with a capable camera system designed to help you capture important moments. The Infinix Hot 60 Pro and Hot 60 Pro+ feature a 50MP primary rear camera (with a Sony IMX882 sensor for the Pro+), offering an f/1.79 aperture and a variety of shooting modes such as AI Cam, Portrait, Super Night, Vlog, Slow Motion, and Dual Video. For selfies and video calls, a 13MP front-facing camera with a dual-LED flash is included. Video recording capabilities extend up to 1440p at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps, with slow-motion options also available.
Battery: Power That Keeps Up
A significant strength of the Hot 60 series is its impressive battery longevity. Both the Hot 60 Pro and Hot 60 Pro+ are powered by a substantial 5160mAh battery. This large capacity, combined with the efficient Helio G200 chipset, ensures extended usage on a single charge. Additionally, both devices support 45W wired fast charging, allowing for rapid battery top-ups. Infinix states that the Hot 60 Pro+ can achieve a 50% charge in just 22 minutes. They also offer 10W reverse wired charging, which can be convenient for charging other small devices.
Connectivity & Sensors: Essential Modern Features
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro and Hot 60 Pro+ offer a comprehensive array of connectivity options. They support Dual SIM (Nano-SIM) and 4G LTE networks. It’s important to note that while the Hot 60 Pro+ is a 4G device, other models in the Hot 60 series (like the Hot 60 5G) do offer 5G connectivity. Other features include Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 5.4, NFC for data transfer, and a USB Type-C 2.0 port with OTG support.
For security and user convenience, both models incorporate an in-display optical fingerprint sensor. Additional sensors include an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, and compass. An infrared port is also present, enabling control of compatible smart home appliances. The audio experience is enhanced with stereo speakers tuned by JBL and Hi-Res audio support, though a 3.5mm headphone jack is absent.
Conclusion
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro and Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ emerge as strong contenders in the mid-range smartphone segment. Their exceptionally slim and stylish designs, vivid 144Hz AMOLED displays, capable Helio G200 performance, long-lasting batteries with rapid charging, and comprehensive camera systems make them a highly attractive package. These devices are well-positioned to appeal to users seeking a feature-rich smartphone that combines performance and aesthetics without a premium price.
