Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ Review: Slim, Stylish, and Built for Everyday Use

When it comes to smartphones, users often face a choice between design, performance, and battery life. The Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ promises to bring all these elements together in one sleek and affordable package.

With its ultra-slim profile, strong specs, and enhanced camera features, this phone offers more than just looks, it brings real value. It's the world’s slimmest under-6mm 3D-curved AI phone. The Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ comes in at just 5.95mm thin, a paper-thin profile that feels light in the hand but packs a serious punch under the hood.

But can it really deliver both style and performance in one package? Let’s dig into the real-world experience to see if the HOT 60 Pro+ lives up to the hype.

Sleek and Premium Design

At just 5.95mm, the Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ is impressively slim, almost paper-thin and weighs only 155g. Despite its ultra-thin frame, the phone doesn’t feel fragile. The solid build and seamless 3D curved edges give it a premium touch that stands out the moment you start using it.

The curved design flows smoothly from the front to the back, making it comfortable to grip and easy to use even for long periods. The semi-gloss back has a subtle shine that catches light nicely, giving it a clean and stylish finish. It does pick up fingerprints, but a protective case is included in the box which also helps level out the camera bump when the phone is placed on a flat surface.

That camera module, trimmed in chrome, blends well into the rear panel. It adds a bit of flair to the minimalist design. On the right side, the green-accented power button and volume rocker are easy to reach and have good tactile feedback.

Down at the bottom, there’s a type-C port, speaker, microphone, and SIM tray. The top section features an IR blaster, another microphone, and a secondary speaker perfect for delivering stereo audio.

But what really turns heads is the Active Halo Lighting around the third camera lens. It’s not just for show, this lighting ring syncs with system events like incoming calls, notifications, low battery alerts, and game boosts, and it even powers on with a signature glow. It’s a small touch that adds personality and makes the phone feel more interactive and alive, especially during daily use or gaming sessions.

Up front is a large AMOLED display that curves slightly along the edges, creating a sleek, modern look. The slim bezels and vibrant screen help make the phone feel more premium than its price suggests.

The HOT 60 Pro+ offers a surprisingly polished design for its category. Its slim, lightweight build makes it easy to handle, and the overall look is clean, refined, and modern.

Drawbacks: The glossy back attracts fingerprints, and the slightly protruding camera module makes it wobble when placed flat without the case.

Display and Sound Experience

The HOT 60 Pro+ is rocking a 6.78-inch LTPS AMOLED display with 1.5k resolution that looks stunning right out of the box. It’s sharp, vivid, and vibrant enough to handle outdoor brightness without forcing you to squint. The 144Hz refresh rate is where it really flexes whether you’re gaming, doom-scrolling, or just navigating the UI, everything feels snappy and fluid.

You get three refresh rate options: Standard (60Hz) for better battery life, High (up to 144Hz) for buttery smooth visuals, and Auto-Switch, which smartly adapts the refresh rate depending on what you’re doing. It’s a small thing, but it helps strike a balance between performance and battery efficiency.

On top of the visuals, Infinix also throws in some thoughtful features for eye comfort. The Eye Care with Sleep Aid Mode stands out, it automatically adjusts the screen’s color temperature based on your body’s circadian rhythm to help you wind down at night. Whether you're reading late or watching videos before bed, it subtly shifts tones to reduce eye strain and improve sleep quality.

There’s also Color Style where you can choose between Bright-Colored for punchier visuals or Original Color for a more natural look. And if you're really particular, there’s a color temperature slider so you can fine-tune it from cool to warm to your liking.

Watching Netflix on it feels immersive, the blacks are deep, colors are rich, and even fast action scenes look clean without ghosting. YouTube videos also look great in high quality, and that punchy contrast really makes visuals pop, whether you’re watching vlogs or trailers. On TikTok, the fast refresh rate makes swiping between videos smooth.

As for audio, it’s surprisingly good for a phone this slim. The dual stereo speakers get loud and actually deliver depth. Thanks to SOUND BY JBL co-engineering, there’s noticeable clarity, vocals come through clean, instruments sound defined, and bass doesn’t get lost, even at high volumes. Whether you're watching TikToks or streaming a movie, the combo of AMOLED and JBL-tuned audio makes the experience immersive.

Drawbacks: No headphone jack. If you’re still using wired earphones or any legacy audio gear, you'll need to go wireless or use an adapter.

Durability

For a phone this paper-thin, the HOT 60 Pro+ holds up impressively well. It doesn’t creak or flex during daily use, and it feels more solid than you'd expect from something so slim. The way the frame wraps around the phone adds to its overall toughness, making it feel more put together than most budget-friendly devices.

So, does it bend? Not in normal use. I tried applying pressure just to test it, and it stayed firm. Of course, if you really force it, it will eventually give in, but under everyday conditions, it keeps its shape and doesn’t feel fragile at all.

Up front, it’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. That gives it an extra layer of toughness against scratches, whether you’re swiping through apps, watching Netflix, or keeping it screen-down on the desk. I’ve tossed it into my bag a few times without a screen protector, and so far, no scratches.

It also comes with an IP65 rating, so it can handle splashes, water spray, and dust. You don’t have to panic if it gets caught in a light rain or if you’re using it near the sink. It’s not made for underwater use, but for everyday accidents, it’s got just the right amount of protection.

Drawbacks: There’s no shock resistance or drop protection rating. So while it feels durable, a hard fall on rough surfaces might still do some damage.

Connectivity and Features

When it comes to daily connectivity, the HOT 60 Pro+ keeps things smooth and reliable. Whether it’s switching between apps, streaming videos, or hopping between Wi-Fi networks, there’s little to complain about. Dual SIM support keeps life flexible, perfect for separating work and personal or juggling local and roaming SIMs while travelling.

It may not have 5G, but for day-to-day use, 4G speeds are fast and stable enough. Social media loads quickly, YouTube and TikTok stream without hiccups, and general browsing stays responsive. Bluetooth connectivity remains strong and consistent for wireless earbuds or smartwatches, and the Wi-Fi reception holds steady even when a few walls separate the router.

There’s NFC for contactless payments and faster pairing, plus OTG support that easily recognizes flash drives and accessories without needing extra setup. Navigation is smooth with support for GPS, AGPS, Beidou, and Galileo location lock is fast and accurate.

It has light and proximity sensors that adjust brightness and turn off the screen during calls, and a responsive in-display fingerprint scanner. The motor adds a nice touch of haptic feedback, while the infrared blaster comes in handy for controlling TVs or air conditioners, no more hunting for the remote.
XOS 14 brings in useful tools like Lightning Multi-Window for multitasking and Smart Panel for quick access to favorite apps and features, while AI Wallpaper keeps things visually refreshing.

Drawbacks: 5G support would’ve added futureproofing. But for a phone in this category, the feature set feels complete and well-integrated, especially for users who value practical features at affordable pricing

Performance and Gaming Experience

The Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ is powered by a MediaTek Helio G200 chipset paired with up to 16GB of extended RAM (with Memory Fusion) and 256GB of internal storage. This combo gives the phone enough muscle to keep things fast and responsive, even during heavy use.

In daily use, it handles the usual mix of social apps, messaging, and content creation tools smoothly. Scrolling through Facebook, uploading photos to Instagram, answering emails on Gmail, and switching between TikTok and YouTube all feel fluid. The phone doesn’t hesitate or lag even when you’re jumping between five or six apps at once. The UFS 2.2 storage helps reduce loading times noticeably compared to standard eMMC phones in this range.

Gaming is surprisingly solid. Honor of Kings runs on high graphics settings with steady frame rates and sharp visuals. Squid Game: Unleashed by Netflix plays effortlessly, with quick transitions. Once Human, a more graphically demanding game, required medium settings to stay smooth, but it remained playable and enjoyable throughout long sessions.

Infinix's XArena gaming mode gives you system-level optimization, letting you block interruptions, boost CPU/GPU, and keep gameplay immersive. Touch Boost enhances response time in fast-paced titles, while Bypass Charging lets you play while charging without overheating the phone or damaging the battery. After about an hour of gaming, the phone does warm up, especially near the top, but it never becomes uncomfortable to hold.

On the benchmark side, the Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ scores over 450,000 on AnTuTu, impressive for a midrange 4G phone. It places well above many phones in the same price bracket, especially in terms of multitasking and GPU performance. In Geekbench tests, it gets solid numbers for single and multi-core performance, showing that it’s built not just for casual users, but also for those who like to push their phone a bit further.

The high refresh rate display (up to 144Hz) really complements the overall performance. Whether you’re flipping through a photo album, reading a long article, or lining up your next headshot, the screen stays snappy and visually smooth. It’s easy to get used to and hard to go back from.

Drawbacks: While the performance holds up well for most tasks and even gaming, it’s worth noting that this is still a 4G-only device. So if you're eyeing long-term use or want to tap into faster mobile data speeds down the line, the lack of 5G might be a downside.

XOS and Software Experience

Running on XOS 15.1.1 powered by Android 15 out of the box, the interface feels more refined. It’s clean, fluid, and loaded with features that add real value instead of just bloating the system. Navigation is smooth even when switching between apps and games, the experience stays consistently snappy.

The UI brings smart tools like Lightning Multi-Window, Video Assistant, and Smart Scanner, which prove useful in everyday scenarios. There's also Folax, the onboard AI assistant, which handles basic tasks and commands surprisingly well. The built-in Smart Scenes feature learns usage habits over time, offering little reminders and automation that make daily tasks feel effortless.

RAM Expansion also makes a difference here. With virtual memory management, multitasking stays smooth even when jumping between social media, camera, and graphics-heavy games like Honor of Kings or Once Human.

Yes, there are a few pre-installed apps, some can be removed, some not but they don’t get in the way too much. Ads and pop-ups are minimal this time around, and notifications feel less aggressive compared to older XOS versions.

But what really adds personality to the experience is the One-Tap AI Assistant. With just a tap, you can instantly launch apps, send messages, set reminders, or trigger custom actions. It’s a smart shortcut system that adapts to your habits and keeps your everyday tasks within quick reach—no deep menus or complicated setups.

There’s also deeper integration with Google’s Android AI features, so the phone feels more context-aware. Expect smarter suggestions, easier multitasking, and features that subtly enhance productivity and creativity without ever getting in the way.

Camera and AI Features

With a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera, it manages to deliver surprisingly sharp photos in good lighting. Everyday scenes, from random city walks to food photos and sunset shots, come out sharp with good colors and decent dynamic range. Focus locks in quickly, and there's enough detail to zoom in without things falling apart. Portrait shots look clean, with decent edge detection and a natural background blur that doesn't overdo it.

Low-light photography benefits from Super Night mode, which brightens up the frame without blowing out highlights. Although textures can appear softer, it still manages to keep key elements visible even when the lighting isn’t ideal.

Sample Photos shot using Infinix HOT 60 Pro+

The 13MP front camera works well for casual selfies and video chats. The wider 90° field of view helps fit more in the frame, and the dual front flash is useful in dimly lit spaces like restaurants or late-night rooms without harsh results. AI features do some subtle skin smoothing, which some might like, and others might want to dial down using Beauty adjustments.

There are plenty of shooting modes to explore: AI Cam, Portrait, Super Night, Vlog, Dual Video, Pro, Panorama, and even AIGC Portrait for a bit of AI flair.

For video, both front and rear support 2K at 30fps, along with smoother options at 1080p 60fps. The output is stable enough for handheld clips, but walking or panning too quickly can show a bit of jitter since there’s no OIS. Modes like Vlog, Dual Video, and AIGC Portrait add some creative freedom, and they're easy enough to navigate. Great for people who enjoy shooting short reels or vlogs without needing to dive into pro-level settings.

Drawbacks: There’s no 4K recording or optical stabilization, which might limit video quality for more serious content creators. Night mode boosts brightness but doesn’t always preserve fine textures. And while the color processing is consistent, it leans slightly warm in certain lighting, which might not suit everyone’s taste.

Battery and Charging

Powering the Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ is a 5,160mAh battery that consistently holds up through a day packed with multitasking, social media scrolling, messaging, and short video sessions. It’s tuned for endurance with support for up to 1,800 charge cycles, and uses a high-density 810Wh/L battery structure—making it 20% smaller than traditional cells, which helps maintain the phone’s slim profile.

Charging is handled by 45W FastCharge, which pushes the battery from 1% to 50% in just a short coffee break. It’s backed by thoughtful battery health features like Overnight Charging Protection and Charging Liquid Detection, which adds a layer of safety and extends long-term usability. There’s also reverse charging support (up to 10W), handy for topping up earbuds and other devices.

Infinix claims up to 5 years of battery lifespan, which adds peace of mind for users who plan to keep their phone longer without seeing major battery degradation too soon.

Drawbacks: While the 45W charging is fast enough for most users, some rivals are already pushing beyond that. There’s also no wireless charging, which would’ve added extra convenience, especially for those used to drop-and-go setups. It’s a well-rounded system, but not quite future-proof on every front.
