There are phones you pick up and instantly forget, and then there are phones that make you pause for a second not because they are flashy flagships, but because they just feel different. That was my first experience with the Infinix Hot 60 Pro. Slim, slick, and surprisingly capable, it’s the kind of phone that quietly convinces you it can handle your life without making a fuss.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve used it for everything from shooting a full 1-hour 40-minute short film to surviving two full days without a charge, and it has proven to be not your regular phone.
Design and Handling: Slim, Slick, and Comfortable
The first impression this phone gives is all about slimness and comfort. It’s not the absolute slimmest phone ever made, but at 6.6mm thick and 170g, it confidently ranks among the sleekest in its class. Its weightless design makes it a joy to hold, slip into pockets, and use one-handed for long periods without fatigue.
The polished finish and solid build give it a subtle premium vibe that stands out among other mid-range devices. While the Hot 60 Pro+ steals headlines with its 5.95mm ultra-slim curved frame and futuristic Halo lighting, the standard Hot 60 Pro strikes the right balance: sleek yet practical for everyday handling.
Inside the box, Infinix still provides the essentials: a 45W fast charger, USB-C cable, transparent silicone case, SIM ejector tool, and a pre-applied screen protector. In a world where brands are starting to remove chargers, this inclusion is refreshing.
Display and Performance: Smooth, Bright, and Reliable
Using the 6.78-inch AMOLED display daily has been a pleasure. Colors are lively, text is sharp with 1.5K resolution, and the 144Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and animations feel smooth. Even under bright sunlight, the screen remains comfortably viewable, and features like AI Eye Comfort and Sleep Aid Mode help reduce strain during long nights of reading or social media scrolling.
Performance-wise, the MediaTek Helio G200 processor with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage handled my day-to-day tasks without stress. Switching between apps, browsing, social media, and light gaming felt seamless. I even streamed video while downloading large files, and the phone stayed responsive.
I’ve used phones in this price range that struggle with multitasking, but the Hot 60 Pro doesn’t hang or lag. It’s clear that Infinix optimized the ROM and RAM combination well for real-world usage.
Battery Life: Two Days of Freedom
The 5160mAh battery is one of the most impressive features of the Hot 60 Pro. On moderate use—which included calls, social media, some video recording, and occasional gaming I consistently got up to two days on a single charge.
Fast charging is equally impressive. I could go from 1% to 50% in about 23 minutes using the included 45W charger, which is a lifesaver when you’re on the move. Unlike many ultra-slim phones that sacrifice battery life for aesthetics, the Hot 60 Pro proves that you can have a slim phone with endurance.
Camera Experience: Mid-Range Surprise
If there’s one area where this phone truly impressed me, it’s the camera. The 50MP rear sensor, supported by Infinix’s AI RAW image processing, consistently produced sharp, colorful, and detailed photos.
I shot a full 1-hour 40-minute short movie on this phone, and the results were better than I expected. Daylight photos are vibrant, and while low-light performance is naturally more limited than a flagship, it still produced usable shots indoors and at night. For casual photography, vlogging, or mobile filmmaking, the Hot 60 Pro over-delivers for its class.
The phone also supports 2X zoom and full-pixel autofocus, which helps with capturing sharper close-ups. For social media users and content creators, this is a capable everyday camera without the weight of a professional setup.
Extra Features That Make It Practical
Living with the Hot 60 Pro daily reminded me that small details matter. It comes with IP64 water and dust resistance, giving peace of mind against accidental splashes. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable, while the single speaker setup is decent for calls and casual media playback.
It runs XOS 15.1.1, which adds useful tools like, Folax AI Assistant for quick commands, AI Vogue Portraits and AI Eraser 2.0 for better photos, Always-On display themes, Circle to Search with Infinix AI, which lets you highlight anything on screen and search instantly without leaving your app.
For students, professionals, or casual users, these software extras make the phone feel smarter and more convenient.
Circle to Search with Infinix AI
Another standout feature across the HOT 60 Series is Google’s Circle to Search, built into the AI toolkit. With this, you as a user can:
Press and hold the power button, draw a circle around anything on the screen (image, text, product), and instantly search Google without switching apps. It’s perfect for snapping, searching, and solving in real-time, making the HOT 60 Pro and Pro+ especially attractive for students, researchers, and social users.
Final Verdict: A Mid-Range Phone That Feels Special
After living with the Infinix Hot 60 Pro, my conclusion is clear: it’s not your regular phone. It may not compete with the ultra-premium flagships, but it delivers exactly what most users want: a slim, reliable, and capable smartphone with thoughtful features.
The slick 6.6mm design, sharp 50MP camera, lag-free performance, brilliant AMOLED display, and two-day battery life make it a phone I can easily recommend as a dependable daily driver. In a market where many mid-range phones feel like forgettable compromises, the Hot 60 Pro manages to feel special.
If you want a lightweight, creative-friendly, and stylish phone that simply works without draining your wallet, the Infinix Hot 60 Pro deserves your attention.
