Infinix has launched the Hot 60 Pro Plus, a smartphone that packs a 5160mAh battery and advanced AI features comparable to Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25. Priced at an affordable Rp2.4 million (around $160), this device offers premium-like specifications at a budget price point.
Users have tested the Hot 60 Pro Plus for over a month, confirming that it delivers real value from design to daily performance. This article explores the phone’s main highlights, package contents, design, battery, camera, AI functionalities, and overall performance.
Comprehensive Package with Premium Accessories
Opening the box reveals accessories rarely seen in this price range: a pre-installed tempered glass screen protector, a fast 45W charger, a transparent protective case, UV liquid and installation tools for an anti-bubble screen guard, free SIM card with bonus data, SIM ejector, user manual, and warranty card. This full kit allows users to start using the phone straight away without extra spending.
Stylish Design Resembling High-End Models
Though made entirely of plastic, the Hot 60 Pro Plus mimics a premium feel with a matte finish similar to frosted glass. Its metallic-textured frame and smoothly curved edges resemble the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25. Despite the slim profile, it houses a large 5160mAh battery, much bigger than the iPhone 16 Air’s 3149mAh or Galaxy S25’s 3900mAh. The phone is available in six trendy colors including Coral Tides (pink to blue gradient), Purple, Yellow, Green, White, and Black.
Vivid Curved AMOLED Display with High Refresh Rate
The device features a curved AMOLED screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 2400×1080 pixels and an impressively smooth 144Hz refresh rate. It also offers peak brightness up to 1500 nits, ensuring clear visibility under direct sunlight. The Gorilla Glass protection has proven durable during extended use. However, the curved edges can sometimes cause accidental touches while gaming or watching videos, which is a known compromise for curved displays in this budget segment.
Long-Lasting Battery and Rapid Charging
The 5160mAh battery delivers 1 to 2 days of usage with typical activities like YouTube streaming, GPS navigation, chatting, and browsing. It provides an average screen-on time of 9 hours. The 45W fast charger refills the battery from 0% to 100% in just 70 minutes. Additionally, reverse charging at 10W enables powering other devices such as earbuds or smartwatches in urgent situations.
50MP Camera Backed by Advanced AI Processing
Using a Sony IMX882 50MP sensor, the Hot 60 Pro Plus produces sharp and vibrant photos under daylight conditions. Its AI capabilities enhance images by reducing noise, improving sharpness and color saturation, and optimizing dynamic lighting. Night shots are decent when the phone is steady but can blur with movement. A slight delay of 2 to 3 seconds occurs during AI processing, but the resulting images justify the wait.
Galaxy-Level AI Features in an Affordable Smartphone
The phone stands out with a comprehensive AI suite reminiscent of Samsung’s Galaxy AI, including:
- Voice Assistant “Folx” powered by DeepSeek R1 for natural Q&A
- Circle to Search – instant object recognition via screen circling
- Call Assistant for automatic answering and real-time call translation
- Social Assistant to craft captions and reply to DMs
- Document Assistant for extracting text from photos
- Writing Assistant for proofreading and text generation
- AI Note that converts hand sketches into professional illustrations
- Recording Summary for automatic meeting notes
- AI Subtitle tool to add subtitles without transcripts
Such advanced AI is rare in smartphones priced under $200, highlighting Infinix’s commitment to mass-market AI integration.
Adequate Performance for Daily Use
Powered by the MediaTek Helio G200 processor with 8GB RAM plus 8GB virtual RAM, the Hot 60 Pro Plus scores about 433,000 on AnTuTu. Basic tasks run smoothly but there are occasional delays opening apps and sluggish multitasking. Casual gaming like Call of Duty Mobile performs well on medium settings, but don’t expect flagship-level frame rates.
Additional Features Enhancing User Experience
The phone offers stereo JBL speakers providing clear sound from top and bottom. It includes NFC for contactless payments and an IR blaster to control TVs or AC units. Connectivity uses USB Type-C; however, it lacks microSD card support, so internal storage is fixed—something to consider if you store lots of offline videos.
At its core, the Infinix Hot 60 Pro Plus excels in delivering flagship-grade features such as a large battery, high-refresh display, and powerful AI tools in a package priced around $160. It is not perfect, with some compromises in curved screen sensitivity and raw performance, but it provides outstanding value for students, remote workers, and budget-conscious users seeking premium tech experiences. This device redefines affordability by making advanced smartphone capabilities accessible for just Rp2.4 million.
