Let’s be honest: in a market where phone specs blur together like grayscale wallpaper, thinness is still a flex. And Infinix is clearly leaning into that with the upcoming HOT 60 Pro+, officially launching globally on July 25. What’s striking—perhaps unexpectedly—isn’t just how sleek the device is. It’s how confidently it tries to offer more than looks. The HOT 60 Pro+ is just 5.95mm thick. That’s slimmer than some earbuds. Thinner, even, than Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge. And yet, it somehow fits a 5,160mAh battery inside. That’s larger than the S25 Edge’s 3,900mAh cell, if you’re counting. Which, if you’ve been burned by battery anxiety before, you probably are.
The weight? Lighter too. So, on paper, yes—it’s a marvel of engineering. But paper rarely tells the full story.
Price, meet practicality
Here’s where it starts to get interesting. Infinix isn’t trying to compete on prestige. They’re targeting practicality. The HOT 60 Pro+ lands in a price range that’s—well, let’s say it’s not competing with flagship prices. It’s carving out a lane that’s friendlier to younger buyers, students, and anyone who just doesn’t see the point in spending four digits on a phone that gets dropped on sidewalks or lost in couch cushions. That’s why their FB account published today the following teaser video:
It’s a play that feels particularly aimed at Gen Z, and maybe that’s intentional. That group tends to value style and function, but they’re not always brand-loyal in the way millennials once were. So a device that feels flagship-adjacent, looks bold, and doesn’t demand a second job to afford? There’s a real market for that.
Color with conviction
A lot of phones these days come in colors that could double as wall paint—beige, off-white, black, darker black. The HOT 60 Pro+ doesn’t follow that trend. It comes in six loud, unapologetic colors. The full HOT 60 Series expands that to more than ten.
This feels less like a spec, more like a statement. Not everyone wants their phone to scream for attention, but for those who do, this is a rare bit of personality in a market that’s defaulted to grayscale minimalism. And even if you don’t pick the most eye-popping version, the fact that the options exist is kind of refreshing.
Slim, but not stripped down
Here’s something that might’ve been a concern—and maybe still is for some: can a phone this thin still handle day-to-day use without falling apart? From what we know so far, the HOT 60 Pro+ does more than just look nice in product shots.
Infinix has equipped it with an AI-enhanced system meant to adapt to everyday scenarios. That’s vague, sure, but it suggests the usual mix of smart resource allocation, camera tuning, and battery optimization. Plus, you’re getting the standard suite of “practical features”—which I interpret as the little conveniences that make or break a phone experience over time.
So what’s the takeaway?
The Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ doesn’t try to be the flashiest phone of 2025. It doesn’t need to. What it offers is something harder to come by: balance. A slim, modern design that doesn’t sacrifice battery life. Playful aesthetics without the sticker shock. Enough tech to get through the day, but not so much that you’re paying for features you’ll never touch.
Will it shift the landscape? Probably not. But will it make people think twice before dropping $1,200 on another “pro” device? That’s a bet worth watching.
