Infinix HOT 60 smartphone series debuts with flagship specs for less

Infinix has officially unveiled its HOT 60 Series, led by the flagship HOT 60 Pro+—a groundbreaking smartphone that redefines design with the world’s thinnest 3D-curved screen and an ultra-slim 5.95mm profile. The series also features the HOT 60 Pro, offering a compelling balance of style and performance.

At a time when form and functionality rarely come together below the ₱10,000 mark, Infinix’s HOT 60 Pro+ breaks convention as the world’s slimmest curved-screen smartphone under ₱9,000.

The HOT 60 Pro+ marks a major leap forward in budget smartphone design, catering to a younger audience that values aesthetics as much as performance. It’s not just thin for the sake of thinness—Infinix has engineered an all-around powerhouse that merges cutting-edge durability, thermal management, AI, and fast-charging tech within a razor-thin form factor.

Design & durability: Ultra-slim, ultra-tough

At just 5.95mm thick and 155g light, the HOT 60 Pro+ shatters industry expectations. Key innovations include:

  • 12.5 percent thinner and 4.3 percent lighter than its predecessor

  • Custom-engineered SIM tray, speakers, and Type-C port

  • NanoFiber Backshield with OMR layering—20 percent thinner and highly resilient

  • Aerospace-grade aluminum mid-frame and Gorilla® Glass 7i screen protection

  • Passed 1.5-meter drop tests with 1.4x improved bend resistance

Despite its slim profile, durability wasn’t sacrificed—thanks to a carefully engineered Maximized Structured Space Design that supports internal efficiency while protecting all essential components.

Color and craft: Style with purpose

The HOT 60 Series draws inspiration from vibrant natural elements.

  • Hero color: Coral Tides, a red-blue gradient evoking Komodo Island’s coastal beauty

  • Other colors: Titanium Silver, Sleek Black, Misty Violet

Aesthetics are elevated by a floating camera module that appears detached from the back panel, Active Halo Lighting, metallic rings, and one-tap AI buttons for cohesive design functionality. The camera arc aligns precisely with the R-curved corners, improving grip and visual symmetry.

Battery & charging: More power, less bulk

The HOT 60 Pro+ is powered by a 5160mAh ultra-thin battery—one of the thinnest in non-silicon smartphones. With 810Wh/L energy density, it delivers 1.08x more usable energy than its predecessor.

Key benefits:

  • 45W FastCharge (1 percent to 50 percent in 23 minutes)

  • Full charge in 55 minutes

  • 1,800 charge cycles with 80 percent battery health retention

  • AI-managed brightness saves up to 50mAh per hour for social/gaming apps

These advancements bridge the gap between compact form and long-lasting performance.
