Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ review
Display
The 6.78-inch display is a real highlight on the Hot 60 Pro+. Making advanced display technology more accessible is a trend we fully support, and Infinix appears to be pushing those boundaries even further with the Hot 60 Pro+.
The phone boasts a large 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and a crisp 1224 x 2720 pixel resolution, which translates to an impressive pixel density of around 440 ppi.
That said, there's a noteworthy limitation: the Helio G200 chipset officially supports a maximum output of 1080p at 120Hz. This means Infinix's claimed resolution and refresh rate can't be achieved natively. Sure enough, further inspection reveals that the UI renders at 1080 x 2400 pixels. According to Infinix's somewhat vague website, an internal upscaling chip is responsible for boosting the output to the stated 1224 x 2720 resolution.
We performed our standardized brightness testing, and sure enough, the Hot 60 Pro+ is a chart-topper within its price range. It even manages to slightly outpace the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+, even though by all accounts the two phones seem to use the exact same panel.

The Hot 60 Pro+ offers four selectable refresh rate tiers: 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz. As for refresh rate settings, you get three options: Auto-Switch, Standard, and High. The Standard mode simply locks the display at 60Hz. Both Auto-Switch and High modes feature dynamic switching, with the refresh rate adjusting primarily based on user interaction.
The key distinction is that Auto-Switch mode toggles between 60Hz and 90Hz, while High mode is more flexible, reaching up to 120Hz and occasionally dropping to 90Hz when needed.
High mode also includes a handy per-app refresh rate configuration tool - a genuinely useful feature. That said, it only allows you to choose between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz for individual apps and games.
As for the advertised 144Hz support, its scope is very limited. Once you select High refresh rate mode, you can enable 144Hz in the per-app settings menu, but only for some "supported" apps. On our phone, these include the Settings app, the Messages app, and the Phone app. We really don't see why we would want to have 144Hz in any of these particular apps. Still, the per-app setting reliably delivered 120Hz gameplay, which we consider a strong positive.
On the downside, the Hot 60 Pro+ lacks HDR video capabilities. However, it does come with Google's highest Widevine L1 DRM certification, enabling FullHD streaming from services like Netflix.
Battery life
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ has a fairly large 5,160 mAh battery, which is essentially identical to that of the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+. Seeing how the two have practically identical displays and chipsets, as well as OS, it isn't surprising that their battery endurance is similar as well.
With an Active Use Score of just over 11 hours, the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ has fairly decent battery life, but far from impressive. It should get you through a full day of use, but don't expect much more.
Charging speed
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ supports 45W fast charging. It is a proprietary charging standard. Thankfully, the phone comes with the charger right in the box. The phone has a 5160 mAh battery. On both fronts, the Hot 60 Pro+ seems very similar to the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ we recently reviewed, and hence, we expect similar charging performance. Well, that is not exactly the case. The Hot 60 Pro+ is a slightly slower-charging device. The charging rate is still decent enough, though, especially for a budget phone.

Unlike the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+, the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ lacks wireless charging. That's probably one way the manufacturer keeps costs down. On the plus side, there is 10W reverse wired charging support.
The Hot 60 Pro+ even supports Bypass charging, so you can avoid heating up from the charging process during, say, prolonged gaming or multimedia sessions while the phone sits plugged in.
Tecno also offers Charging Protection. You can set a custom upper charging limit yourself or use the AI option, which promises to monitor your usage patterns and charge the phone to 100% only when you need it and otherwise keep it charged to 80%.
Speakers - loudness and quality
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ has a stereo speaker setup. It is of the hybrid variety with an amplified earpiece acting as the second channel. As already mentioned, there is a speaker hole on the top bezel, which greatly helps with output balance, symmetry and stereo separation.
Interestingly enough, even though the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ is even thinner than the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+, it is somehow notably louder, earning itself a Very Good rating in our standardized test.
The quality isn't particularly impressive. Voices come through clear enough, though a bit muffled. There is a clear lack of definition, and the sound stage is narrow. Bass is practically non-existent.
The phone has DTS support, including an equalizer with presets and manual controls.
Use the Playback controls to listen to the phone sample recordings (best use headphones). We measure the average loudness of the speakers in LUFS. A lower absolute value means a louder sound. A look at the frequency response chart will tell you how far off the ideal "0db" flat line is the reproduction of the bass, treble, and mid frequencies. You can add more phones to compare how they differ. The scores and ratings are not comparable with our older loudspeaker test. Learn more about how we test here.
Connectivity
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ is a 4G-only device, offering simultaneous LTE connectivity on both of its Nano-SIM slots. Unfortunately, it doesn't support eSIM functionality.
As expected, GPS is available for location services. For local connectivity, the phone includes dual-band Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 5.4 with Low Energy support. Additional features include an NFC module for data transfer only and not payments (availability may vary by region), an IR blaster, and an FM radio receiver. However, there's no 3.5mm headphone jack or microSD card slot.
The Type-C port is backed up by a simple USB 2.0 data connection, offering a theoretical maximum data transfer speed of 480 Mbps. It does support OTG/Host functionality, but lacks advanced features such as video output via Alt Mode.
Despite its budget-friendly price, the Hot 60 Pro+ comes equipped with a solid array of sensors. These include an ST LSM6DSO accelerometer and gyroscope combo, a QST QMC6308 magnetometer and compass, and an EMINENT MN79911 module that handles both ambient light and proximity sensing. Impressively, the phone uses a real hardware proximity sensor rather than a virtual one - a rare find in this price range. However, there's no barometer on board.

Totally. The camera just offers a 50 mpx resolution, but I'm gonna tell you something: you won't find any other camera, for less than 200 box, and such a good night shots. Really, believe me. 1.5 months of use And I'm still looking for...
