0:00Infinix has released a couple new
0:02entry-level smartphones, and these are
0:03no doubt the thinnest smartphones we’ve
0:05seen in this segment so far. Meet the
0:07Infinix Hot 60 Pro with a frame that’s a
0:09mere 6.6 mm thin. There’s also the Hot
0:1260 Pro Plus variant that goes even
0:14thinner, measuring 5.95 mm, which is
0:17insane for an entry-level phone. In
0:19today’s video though, we’re focusing on
0:20the nonplus version. But aside from
0:22having an insanely thin profile, what
0:24else does the Infin Hot 60 Pro bring to
0:26the table? Let’s find out in this full
0:28review. I’m your host Earl and let’s
0:30dive right in.
0:37Starting with the design, the Infinix
0:39Hot 60 Pro sports a minimalist look. Our
0:41unit is in titanium silver colorway, and
0:43no, it’s not actually made of titanium.
0:45Features an all plastic built instead.
0:47Unlike the Hot 60 Pro Plus version with
0:49curved sides, this guy opts for a flat
0:51edge design. Taking a closer look at the
0:53rear, the panel used here has a slight
0:55texture, which is kind of like
0:56sandlasted to the touch. This make it
0:58less prone to smudges. Although with a
1:00phone this thin, I’d rather slap on the
1:01provided case for peace of mind. On the
1:03top left corner, you’ll find the three
1:05squareish lenses. But don’t be fooled.
1:07Only one is an actual camera. We’ll get
1:09to that in a bit. Notably, there’s an
1:11orange accenting on the sides of the
1:12camera enclosure adding a bit of flare
1:14to its overall look. Moving over to
1:16IO’s, the power button alongside with a
1:18volume rocker and the so-called onetop
1:20AI button are found on the right.
1:22There’s the SIM tray with a dedicated
1:23micro SD card slot on the left. The top
1:25side houses a speaker grill for stereo
1:27audio and at the bottom sees the second
1:29loudspeaker, USBC port, a mic, and a 3.5
1:32mm headphone jack. For added protection,
1:34the phone comes with an IP64 rating for
1:36dust and splash resistance. So, that’s
1:38two fewer things to worry about. Flip
1:40the phone over, you’re greeted by a
1:41large 6.78 in LTPS AMOLED display with a
1:44crisp 1.5K resolution and a smooth 144
1:47hertz refresh rate. Surprisingly, the
1:49screen gets bright enough for outdoor
1:51use, providing 1,600 nits high
1:53brightness mode and up to 4,500 nits of
1:55HDR peak brightness. The viewing
1:57experience has been quite enjoyable on
1:58this phone. You get vivid colors, good
2:01contrast, and deep true black. Plus,
2:02there’s Widevine L1 support, allowing
2:04for HD viewing on Netflix, and it can
2:06stream YouTube videos with up to,440p
2:09quality. For the audio quality, though,
2:11it is a bit mediocre in my opinion. The
2:13mids sound okay, but they get drowned
2:15out by the highs. Meanwhile, the lows
2:16are serviceable but not very punchy to
2:18my liking and the overall audio is not
2:20as loud. Still, you can get a decent
2:22immersive audio experience with this
2:24phone as it features dual stereo
2:26speakers to boot. Besides, you also have
2:28the 3.5 mm audio jack at your disposal,
2:30so you can just use your wired
2:32headphones or earphones whenever you
2:33like. For biometric security, the device
2:35supports under display fingerprint
2:36sensor along with a face recognition.
2:38The former typically unlocks the phone
2:40by a split second and that’s fast enough
2:42in our experience. Now, let’s talk about
2:44the camera performance. Like I mentioned
2:46earlier, despite the triple rear looking
2:48camera setup, only one is an actual
2:50camera, and that’s a 50 megapixel
2:52sensor. The brand did not specify what
2:54the other sensor does, but it’s most
2:56likely an auxiliary lens, as with most
2:58entry-level phones these days. Images
3:00captured from the Hot 60 Pro generally
3:02look decent. The details are sharp
3:04enough, the colors are near accurate,
3:05and they’ve got decent contrast. We must
3:07say the image processing applies a
3:09cooler tone on most of the shots. And
3:10under low light scenarios, you will see
3:12the noise creeping in, but that’s a
3:14given for entry-level smartphones such
3:15as the Hot 60 Pro. Still, the overall
3:17image quality is decent enough for
3:19casual snaps, provided you take photos
3:20in well environment. When it comes to
3:22video, the Hot 60 Pro also does a decent
3:25job. This sounds like a surprise, but
3:26the phone can capture footage with up to
3:282K resolution at 30 frames per second.
3:30There’s no OAS here, so your shots may
3:33be a bit shaky. You can toggle ultra
3:35steady mode to stabilize video, though
3:37it automatically lowers the resolution
3:38to 1080p at 30 frames per second.
3:40Overall, the video quality itself is all
3:42right. In terms of processing power,
3:44just like with most entry-level
3:45smartphones, you may have to set your
3:47expectations. The Infinix 60 Pro is
3:49powered by the Media Tech G200, and our
3:52unit comes with 8 gig of RAM and 256 gig
3:54of expandable storage, which is always a
3:57plus in our book. Taking a look at our
3:58benchmark results, the phone managed to
4:00get respectable scores across the board.
4:02In Antutu, it scored almost 500,000
4:04points, which is a solid score for its
4:06class. Read and write speeds are solids
4:08and apps open quickly in my experience.
4:10However, when it comes to graphical
4:12tasks like 3D Mark, the phone struggles
4:13to get higher scores, which is
4:15understandable considering this is an
4:16entry-level smartphone. We did try
4:18playing Weathering Waves, and while it
4:20is playable in a very low graphics
4:21settings, it wasn’t really a satisfying
4:24experience. For more casual games
4:25though, like Asphalt Legends Unite, the
4:27phone manages to deliver stable frame
4:28rates. The same goes for mobile titles
4:30like Mobile Legends. Albiter combos may
4:32not be as fast or smooth to pull off.
4:33That said, the chipset will do just fine
4:35on light usage like browsing the web,
4:37doom scrolling on socials, or even
4:39productivity tasks. Software- wise, the
4:41Infinix Hot 60 Pro runs on the latest
4:42Android 15 with XOS 15 on top. You can
4:45appreciate the snappy animations as well
4:47as a refined UI design. There’s even
4:49some blur effects on the notification
4:50and control panels, and that is
4:52something you don’t normally see in its
4:54price range. Of course, a lot of bloware
4:56apps can be seen here. Some of them are
4:57only removable from the home screen,
4:59while others can be uninstalled
5:00completely. Unfortunately, there’s no
5:02mention how long the phone will get
5:03software support. Notably, the Hot 60
5:05Pro comes with a suite of nifty AI
5:07features, including its own voice
5:08assistant, a writing companion, and an
5:10AI editor within the gallery app. And
5:12remember the one tap AI button? Well, it
5:15mainly does two things. Long press to
5:17launch the AI voice assistant, and
5:19double press to quickly open any app or
5:20shortcut you’ve remapped the button to.
5:22It can also be used as a shutter button,
5:24but it’s rather redundant since the
5:26volume down button basically does the
5:28same thing. Moreover, the button is
5:29positioned too close to the center,
5:31making it impractical for shooting
5:32content in landscape orientation. Going
5:34back to software, XOS is pretty light,
5:36offering lots of functional tools and
5:38features. Given the phone’s entry-level
5:40nature, the software experience is quite
5:41good in my opinion. What’s really
5:43interesting about this phone is despite
5:44its razor thin profile, it still packs a
5:475,160 mAh battery, which is even
5:50slightly larger than the usual capacity.
5:51That said, it does offer a solid battery
5:54life, surpassing 13 hours and 14 minutes
5:56in our PC Mark battery life test.
5:57Actually, battery life depends on how
5:59you use your device. Since I don’t do
6:01many graphic heavy tasks, I felt like
6:03the phone actually lasted longer than
6:04that. If ever the battery runs out, it
6:06has a 45 watts of fast charging that
6:08gets the battery to full in just about
6:10an hour. And just like most Infinix
6:12phones, this one also gets bypass
6:13charging support. Connectivity wise,
6:15you’re getting all the essentials here,
6:16including 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth
6:195.4, and NFC. Moreover, there’s also the
6:22addition of an IR blaster, allowing the
6:23phone to be used as a universal remote.
6:25In our testing, it appears that the
6:27third camera lens at the rear actually
6:29houses the IR blaster. As for the remote
6:31control app itself, it’s a bit tricky to
6:32find at first, but it’s stuck away
6:34inside Infin app, Wife. Now, we’ve come
6:36to the last part of this review. Let’s
6:38talk about the price. As of making this
6:40video, Infin has yet to reveal the
6:41pricing of the Infin Hot 60 Pro.
6:43However, we can refer to the last year’s
6:45model, which was priced at 8,499 pesos.
6:48And that’s even the Pro Plus version,
6:50mind you. So, the pricing should be less
6:52if not the same as before. Under that
6:54price range, the Infinix 60 Pro is
6:55surprisingly packed with the good stuff
6:57that you would typically see in
6:58higherend models. It comes with a crisp
7:00and bright 1.5K AMOLED screen, a decent
7:02camera performance, and a featurerich
7:04software experience among others. Best
7:06of all, the slim profile really sets the
7:07Infin Hot 60 Pro apart from the rest of
7:09the competition. It even outperforms
7:11some more expensive models under the
7:1315,000 peso mark. I’m looking at to you
7:14Oppo A series. Wrapping this up, the
7:16Infin Hot 60 Pro is definitely one to
7:18recommend if you’re looking for an
7:19entry-level phone that punches well
7:21above its weight class. But what do you
7:23guys think of the Infinix Hot 60 Pro?

Okay, we need to talk about something that genuinely surprised us in the studio this week.

You know how entry-level phones usually feel a bit… chunky? Like they’re trying to make up for something with extra bulk? Well, Infinix just flipped that script entirely.

We got our hands on the new Infinix HOT 60 Pro, and the first thing we said when we pulled it out of the box was, ‘Wait, is this real?’ It’s unbelievably thin.

We’re talking ‘could probably slide under your door’ thin. But here at YugaTech, we’re not just about first impressions.

A sleek design is great, but what’s the point if the phone can’t keep up with your daily grind? In our latest video review, we put this slender newcomer through its paces.

We explore whether that jaw-dropping thin profile comes with any hidden costs.

Does it feel fragile? How does the battery hold up? And most importantly, is it actually a good phone to use, or is it all just a pretty facade?

Watch as we test everything from its camera performance (spoiler: that triple-lens setup has a secret) to how it handles a marathon gaming session.

If you’ve ever wondered what you’re really sacrificing or gaining with an ultra-thin phone, this is the review you need to see.

What You’ll See in This Video

  • An insanely thin 6.6mm frame that redefines what an entry-level phone can look like.
  • A textured, sandblasted plastic back that fights fingerprints and adds a premium feel.
  • Stereo speakers and a beloved 3.5mm headphone jack, because good audio shouldn’t be a luxury.
  • The camera module has a stylish orange accent, but we reveal how many lenses are actually real.
  • We test the included case and discuss why you might want to use it on such a slim device.

Curious to see if this ultra-thin phone can actually handle a thick stack of daily tasks? Don’t just take our word for it. Hit play on the video above to get our full, unfiltered review and see the Infinix HOT 60 Pro in action!

Frequently Asked Questions

How thin is the Infinix HOT 60 Pro exactly?

It’s incredibly slim at just 6.6mm thick. For context, that’s thinner than most pencils. There’s also a HOT 60 Pro Plus variant that goes down to an almost unbelievable 5.95mm.

Does the thin design make the phone feel cheap or fragile?

In our hands-on, the plastic build felt solid and the textured back provides good grip. However, because it’s so thin, we strongly recommend using the included case for extra protection and peace of mind.

What’s the deal with the three cameras on the back?

This is a classic case of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover.’ As we reveal in the video, only one of those three square lenses is a real, functioning camera. The others are for depth and macro effects.

Is this phone good for media consumption?

Yes. It comes with stereo speakers (one on top, one on the bottom) for a decent audio experience, and it still has a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a huge win for wired audio fans.
