Infin is ready to set sail to their
newest smartphone lineup, the Infinix
Hot 60 series. So far, this consists of
the Infin Hot 60 Pro and the Infin Hot
60 Pro Plus. If you clicked on this
video, you probably know what the full
focus of this review is. It’s the Infin
Hot 60 Pro Plus if you want to be fully
sure or you know, right there. last
year, its predecessor, the Infinix Hot
50 Pro Plus, with its slim build and
decent cameras while having a fluid
curved display. How does the latest
iteration hold up? What’s the
difference? We’re going to tell you all
about it in our full review. I’m your
host, CJ. Let’s get right into it.
[Music]
Right off the bat, I have to say that
Infinix has gone the extra mile with the
Infin Hot 60 Pro Plus. It really is a
thin smartphone going at 5.95 mm. This
is almost a millimeter thinner than the
Hot 50 Pro, which is at 6.8 mm. It’s
pretty neat that this device can handle
a lot with how thin and light it is,
too. Weighing at around 155 g. Another
addition is that it has an IP65 rating
for dust and water resistance and comes
with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The Hot
60 Pro Plus looks very similar to its
predecessor to the point that I thought
they were identical at first. The slight
difference is that last year’s version
has a camera island with small ridges
around it. Meanwhile, with the Hot 60
Pro Plus, you get a smaller island with
smoother edges and the power button
being green. Speaking of the power
button, for buttons and ports, you get
the volume rocker and power button on
the right side, while the bottom has the
two speakers, the SIM card tray, and the
USB type-C port. The top has the mic and
the other half of the two speakers. It
also remind you that the phone sound is
by JBL, but we’ll talk about that soon.
All in all, I’m surprised to be holding
a phone this thin that doesn’t weigh all
that much either. It’s actually pretty
cool. Flipping over to the front and
you’re greeted by a 6.78 in 3D curve
LTPS AMOLED panel. Like I mentioned
earlier, it’s got Corning Gorilla Glass
7i protecting it and a refresh rate of
up to 144 hertz. As an entry-level
smartphone, it’s great to see a device
with a high refresh rate. Along with
this, it has a peak brightness of 1600
nits, which should be fine for broad
daylight usage. Thanks to its AMOLED
display, you get to see true blacks and
vivid colors when checking out the
different forms of media. In my case, I
caught up with shows that I missed and
scrolled through YouTube with the Hot 60
Pro Plus. However, as a curved display
with a thin profile, there is a slight
double-edged sword. Depending on how you
handle the phone, there could be a
chance of accidental touches, especially
when holding it in landscape position.
for me. This means there are times where
I either minimize the video while
watching it in full screen. There was a
bit of an adjustment period, but it
happens less frequently now, but that
could be me nitpicking here. Anyway, for
the audio of the Infinix Hot 60 Pro
Plus, it’s pretty decent. It’s loud to
fill a room, has great clarity and good
mids, but it doesn’t have that much of a
punchy bass. Nonetheless, it was able to
keep me immersed with the media that I’m
watching or the game that I’m playing.
For biometrics, you get an indisplay
fingerprint sensor and face unlock. Both
can unlock the device the second you
press your prints on the screen or show
your face of the camera. Which brings me
to my next topic. Surprisingly enough,
despite it appearing to have a triple
rear camera setup, the Infinix Hot 60
Pro Plus only comes with a 50 megapixel
IMX 882 rear camera. This is a bit of a
downgrade compared to the Hot 50 Pro
Plus as it comes with an additional 2
megapixel depth sensor. Meanwhile, you
still get a 13 megapixel selfie shooter.
For video recording, both the front and
the rear can shoot at 2K at 30 frames
per second. Don’t let this lower your
expectations, though, despite it only
having technically one lens. It doesn’t
disappoint with its shots. The 50
megapixel is really putting in the work
as images come out surprisingly decent.
It’s able to decently replicate colors
of the subject, especially in a well-lit
environment, while being able to capture
as much detail as it could. If that
isn’t enough, the Hot 60 Pro Plus comes
with the company’s proprietary AI Studio
where you can sharpen, erase, and extend
images. There is a catch, though. Dimly
lit environments aren’t the best with
the smartphone, as details aren’t
captured properly, and can come off
blurry, too. There’s no OIS on the
device, so if you have shaky hands, it
may affect the shot you’re trying to
capture. You can be the judge of it,
though, as we’ll leave our sample shots
and video right here.

The Infin Hot 60 Pro Plus is powered by
the MediaTek Helio G200 processor and
has an ARM Mali G50. 57 MC2 GPU. Our
review unit comes with 8 GB of RAM and
256 GB of storage. You can extend the
RAM up to 8 GB, too, giving you a total
of 16 GB of RAM. The device can handle
casual games like Pokémonite, Call of
Duty Mobile, and Uma Musum without any
issue at their highest graphics
settings. There were a bit of stutters
at first, but everything went smoothly
shortly after, especially with Infinix’s
X Arena on. This is the company’s game
booster that helps enhance the user’s
gaming experience by optimizing an app’s
performance. This comes really handy,
especially with graphically intensive
titles like Hong Kong Star Rail, Zenless
Zone Zero, Weathering Waves, and the new
release Persona 5: The Phantom X. For
context, I played the affforementioned
games on their lowest settings. Without
the booster on, I’ve experienced a lot
of lag, especially with graphics from
Withering Waves and Zenless Zone Zero,
stuttering when my character activates
their skills and ultimate moves.
Meanwhile, for Hongkey and Persona 5,
going to the city was a challenge as the
game tends to freeze for a bit when
navigating around. With X Arena on, it’s
able to negate most of my lag issues,
but it still run on the lowest settings.
More intensive combat like Withering
Waves and Zenless Zero lag a bit every
now and then, but it’s way playable
compared to when the booster was off.
Still, if you’re expecting to play
graphic heavy titles at the maximum
quality, I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
Either way, here are our benchmark
results that we garnered from the phone.
[Music]
The Hot 60 Pro Plus runs on the XOS 15.1
based on Android 15 out of the box.
Unfortunately, the phone does come with
a lot of bloatware in their own folders.
They can be removed, but it might be
annoying to some users. with the
devices’s 144 hertz refresh rate. You
get snappy animations and even blur
effects on the notifications and control
panels. As mentioned earlier, you get a
bunch of features like AI Studio, AI
image extender, AI eraser, and AI
sharpness plus. A neat feature is AI
Vogue portraits where you can grab
images from your gallery, crop the
subject, and create a new wallpaper with
them. There’s also circle to search, X
Arena, and the dynamic bar that other
Infinix users will be familiar with that
display information like screen
recording, face unlock, call, and the
like. Sadly, we don’t have information
on how long the software support or
security patches that the Infinix Hot 60
Pro Plus will have. Another thing I want
to point out is that JM, the reviewer of
the Infinix Hot 60 Pro here in Yugate,
stated that his device has a one tap AI
button, which is below the power button.
The Pro Plus variant does not come with
one, which is quite odd not to have. For
connectivity, you get the essentials
here with the Infinix Hot 60 Pro Plus,
Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and GPS. It
also has an IR blaster, and it’s
surprisingly below the main sensor of
the camera. The phone uses 4G LTE, so
unfortunately doesn’t have 5G
capabilities. For a phone around this
price range, you can expect this at much
since last year’s Hot 50 Pro Plus
doesn’t have it either. For battery,
it’s juiced up by a 5,160 milliamp hour
battery with 45 watt fast charging
support and bypass charging. It’s
interesting to see a phone this light
and thin have a large battery pack. In
our PC Mark battery test, it got a
result of 15 hours and 9 minutes, which
translates pretty well when I tested the
device. For context, I did my days on
the phone while snapping photos and
watching videos on it, too. However, as
we say, the actual battery life is based
on how you use the device. As of making
this video, we don’t have the price of
the Infin Hot 60 Pro Plus just yet, but
once we get word, we’ll post the price
in the comment section or description
box below. So, keep your eyes peeled.
The Infin Hot 60 Pro Plus is a worthy
contender to be your next daily driver,
especially with all that it brings. For
a thin device to be capable of having
144 Herz refresh rate, long battery
life, and be able to shoot 2K videos,
it’s pretty neat, especially if it has a
similar price range to that of the
Infinix Hot 50 Pro Plus, which went for
8,499 pesos. It’s pretty neat,
especially for an entry-level device.
However, if you’re after a phone that
can handle the maximum settings of
mobile games and take night shots, this
might not be the one for you. But what
