Infinix HOT 60 Pro+: DESPUÉS DE 1 MES DE USO

Ha pasado más de un mes desde que vimos por primera vez el Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ en persona. Según nuestra reseña, demostró ser un fuerte competidor en el segmento de nivel de entrada gracias a sus buenas cámaras, suficiente potencia de procesamiento y una batería sólida, todo empaquetado en un chasis increíblemente delgado.

Con más de un mes de uso, surge la pregunta, ¿cómo se mantiene el Infinix HOT 60 Pro+? Aquí está mi experiencia hasta ahora.

Diseño: Todo sigue impecable, intacto

Starting with how things look, the Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ is still looking good.

Para ser transparente, debo mencionar que dejé la funda protectora puesta en el teléfono. A pesar de su marco de policarbonato y la parte trasera de fibra de vidrio, el propio teléfono no ha mostrado signos de desgaste. También me gusta el hecho de que su isla de cámara no recoge tanto polvo.

Solo sabrías que se ha usado porque solo el estuche rígido incluido tiene daños mínimos, como rasguños y abolladuras leves.

Notablemente, el teléfono ya cuenta con clasificación IP65, ofreciendo resistencia al polvo y al agua. Esto es algo encomiable considerando que este nivel de protección suele ofrecerse en los modelos más caros.

Nunca intentamos sumergir el teléfono bajo el agua ni rociarlo con agua a alta presión, pero es bueno tenerlo de todos modos. Especialmente ahora que las tormentas tropicales llegan una tras otra, me siento confiado de que el HOT 60 Pro+ no se dañará fácilmente por un chaparrón repentino.

Pantalla: Algunos rasguños menores

Es una historia bastante diferente para la pantalla. El HOT 60 Pro+ usa un panel curvo 3D LTPS de 6.78 pulgadas AMOLED, y aunque está protegido por un Gorilla Glass 7i, ya puedo ver algunos rasguños menores en la pantalla.

That’s to be expected, though, since Gorilla Glass 7i is designed for budget devices and doesn’t offer the same level of durability as the Gorilla Glass Victus lineup. While the phone did come with a screen protector film in the box, we chose not to use it.

Así que, sigue siendo recomendable aplicar un protector de pantalla, aunque el teléfono ya cuente con vidrio “resistente a los arañazos”. Y dado que se trata de una pantalla curva, incluir un protector de pantalla como obsequio es un detalle considerado por Infinix.

Basándome en la experiencia, tenía un teléfono con una curvatura de vidrio 2.5D, y es difícil encontrar protectores de pantalla diseñados para ello.

Speaking of the curved screen, one might say that the glare is hideous to look at. Well, I’m happy to report that it’s not as obtrusive on this device. The curvature isn’t too pronounced, so it doesn’t get in the way of the content you’re watching.

El ghost touch es un problema que a veces ocurre debido al marco extremadamente delgado y la ligereza del teléfono. Pero, cuando se coloca la funda protectora, siento que el ghost touch ocurre con menos frecuencia.

Puedes apreciar también los altavoces estéreo duales. Son fuertes y el escenario sonoro en general es, honestamente, mejor que el de cualquier otro teléfono económico que haya revisado.

And did I already mention that its AMOLED panel uses LTPS technology? This means it can dynamically adjust the refresh rate from 60Hz to 90Hz and up to 144Hz depending on the screen activity. While that’s not as impressive as LTPO panels (that can adjust to as low as 1Hz for static images), it’s still a welcome feature that helps save on some power consumption.

Decent performance

Ahora, el rendimiento ha sido un punto destacado para la Serie Infinix HOT 60. Los teléfonos funcionan con el MediaTek Helio G200, ofreciendo suficiente potencia de procesamiento para el uso diario y algo de juego ocasional.

La navegación es generalmente fluida, aunque tiene problemas con la gestión de RAM ya que cuenta con 8GB de memoria interna. Incluso con la adición de RAM ampliada (hasta 16GB en total), todavía no recomendaría abrir demasiadas aplicaciones en este teléfono y dejarlas ejecutándose en segundo plano.

Hay algunos pequeños inconvenientes aquí y allá, pero recuerde, este es un teléfono de nivel de entrada después de todo. En su mayor parte, estoy satisfecho con el rendimiento del HOT 60 Pro+.

En cuanto a los juegos, mis expectativas no eran tan altas, pero la experiencia fue decente. Pude jugar Mobile Legends: Bang! Bang! de forma constante a alta velocidad de fotogramas (hasta 90 fps). Para otros juegos como Call of Duty Mobile, el teléfono pudo manejar gráficos medios a alta velocidad de fotogramas, aunque está limitado a 40 fps.

XOS: La estética está ahí

The Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ ships with Android 15 with XOS 15 on top.

Aparentemente, XOS es estéticamente mejor que otros teléfonos económicos ya que obtienes un poco más de pulido, como un efecto de desenfoque en los paneles de notificaciones y de control. Las animaciones son decentes, pero notarás algunas limitaciones en ciertas áreas, como la falta de una animación adecuada al abrir y cerrar una aplicación.

The phone does feature multitasking tools such as floating windows and split-screen. I was able to launch up to two floating windows on top of split-screen mode, however it tends to perform slower in that state. Navigation within each window is still smooth at least, so this is quite useful for power users.

Now, I’m someone who is used to having an IR blaster built-in to my personal phone in which I can control home appliances conveniently. I’m glad to have that same functionality with the HOT 60 Pro+.

In case you didn’t know, the phone features its own IR blaster located in the third ‘camera lens’ at the rear. Then, the IR Remote is easily accessible right through the control panel or inside the Welife app. It should come in handy whenever you find your TV remote or something missing.

Surprisingly, for an entry-level device, this guy packs some nifty AI-powered tools. There’s the usual AI Eraser and AI Extender in the Gallery app, AI Writing, AI Summary for your voice recordings, Google’s Circle to Search, and it even comes with its own AI chatbot called Folax.

Most of the AI tools I’ve tried work as intended; however, as you'd expect, they’re not perfect. The phone takes its sweet time to process tasks, and in the case of the Folax chatbot, I feel like it still needs some polishing. To be frank, its sentence structure is often clumsy especially when compared with the likes of ChatGPT.

As for update policy, the brand promised up to three major OS upgrades and five years of security patches. However, as of now, there’s no upgrade timeline yet for Android 16.

Before writing this article, the phone actually had its newest update packing some fixes and optimizations on the system and hardware level. That leads us to the next segment where the HOT 60 Pro+ shines: the camera.

Surprisingly good camera performance

We have praised the HOT 60 Pro+ for its surprisingly good camera, and that still stands true even after the software update. As a matter of fact, I feel like it has been better at image and video processing.

Looking at my recent snaps, I personally wouldn’t think I took these from an entry-level phone. I get plenty of detail, the colors are satisfyingly near-accurate, and it covers a good amount of dynamic range without blowing out highlights or having overly dark shadows.

The auxiliary lens (which is likely a depth sensor) also provides some level of bokeh in the background, and it turns out be helpful in this case.

Video capture, on the other hand, is also a nice experience. The resolution can be maxed out up to 2K 30 fps for both the rear and the selfie camera, which is quite unheard of in its class.

I personally like to take videos in 1080p to take advantage of the electronic image stabilization or in Infinix’s words, ‘Ultra Steady’ mode. In terms of video quality, the phone’s processing does a decent job at keeping the image stabilized and with consistent focus and color reproduction.

Battery life is actually good, too?

When you think about a slim phone, you might also think that it comes with a terrible battery life. Well, the Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ begs to disagree.

Inside, there’s a 5160mAh battery which is actually insane for a phone that measures a mere 5.95mm. (That’s even larger than the new iPhone Air with only a reported 3,036mAh capacity for the physical SIM model.)

Since I mostly use it for watching videos on YouTube and Netflix, the HOT 60 Pro+ can last almost the entire day on typical use, and it has relatively good standby time, too. If you ain’t convinced, our PCMark Work 3.0 battery life test yielded a result of 15 hours and 9 minutes. That’s not a bad screen-on time if you ask me.

Charging time doesn’t take too long thanks to its 45W charging support. And did you know, you also get a battery health feature similar to the iPhone? Just go over to Settings > Battery & Power Saving > Battery Health & Charging > then tap on Battery Health.

From there, you can review how much maximum battery health the device has. I’m glad that more Android makers are adopting this feature for their smartphones.

Not to mention, the HOT 60 Pro+ supports Bypass Charging… not that I find it essential for an entry-level device, but it’s still a nice addition to have. If you want to play games like Mobile Legends while plugged in, then the bypass charging support comes in clutch.

Final thoughts

After more than a month with the Infinix HOT 60 Pro+, I can confidently say this phone punches well above its weight, at least in the entry-level segment.

Sure, it’s not without its drawbacks such as limited hardware and AI features that, while promising, still need further polish in my opinion. But what more can you expect from a phone that doesn’t even cross the Php10,000 mark?

Perhaps, those drawbacks are just small trade-offs for a phone that offers genuine value. The IP65 rating, the immersive stereo speakers, and the surprisingly good camera performance make this phone a strong contender for anyone on a budget.

The Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ starts at just PHP 8,999 (8GB+256GB) and for the price, it’s definitely an affordable phone that doesn’t feel cheap and can handle everyday tasks, casual gaming, and decent photography.

Now that the holidays are approaching and sales are popping up frequently, the Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ including the non-Plus version are among my top choices in the entry-level segment so far.

That said, I’ll leave this article with this: a friend of mine actually asked me for any recommendations under 6K or less for. I told her to get either a discounted Galaxy A16 or the HOT 60 Pro, and in the end, she chose the latter.

But that’s just me. How about you, what do you think of the Infinix HOT 60 Pro+? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
