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?
