Infinix has quietly pulled the curtain back on its latest affordable smartphone, the Infinix Hot 60i — and it’s already stirring curiosity among budget-conscious buyers. Without flashy teasers or global press buzz, the Hot 60i landed discreetly in Bangladesh, offering a refreshed take on last year’s Hot 50i but with a few noticeable upgrades that make it stand out in the entry-level segment.

If you’re wondering whether this device deserves your attention, this detailed look will break down its design, display, camera specs, hardware performance, and value for money.

Subtle Yet Solid: Design and Display

The Infinix Hot 60i carries forward the DNA of its predecessor but tweaks the formula just enough to feel fresh. Its exterior mirrors the base Infinix Hot 50, featuring a triple-camera setup at the rear. Interestingly, not every lens is functional — one is purely cosmetic, while the remaining sensors handle the real work.

Display Highlights:

• Size: 6.78-inch IPS LCD

• Resolution: FHD+ (1080p) for sharper visuals

• Refresh Rate: Smooth 120Hz scrolling

• Brightness: Peaks at 800 nits for outdoor readability

For an entry-level smartphone, that’s an impressive combination. Users can expect vibrant colors, fluid animations, and decent sunlight legibility.

Camera System: 50MP Main Sensor Steals the Spotlight

Infinix understands that even budget buyers want decent cameras. The Hot 60i sticks to this promise with:

• Rear Cameras:

  • 50MP primary sensor for crisp shots

  • 2MP secondary lens for depth or macro (depending on use case)

• Front Camera:

  • 8MP selfie camera for social media-ready snaps

Although not groundbreaking, this setup is respectable for its price bracket, allowing users to capture everyday moments with clarity.

Hardware: Familiar Chipset, Bigger Battery

While the Hot 60i flaunts an upgraded display, its internals haven’t changed much where performance counts. It’s still powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset — the same silicon found in its predecessor.

The question is: can it keep up with 120Hz and FHD+ resolution? Real-world performance might be modest, but the improvements elsewhere help balance things out.

Where the Hot 60i does shine is battery life and charging:

• Battery Capacity: 5160mAh — ideal for all-day use

• Charging Speed: 45W fast charging (a big leap from the older 18W)

This means less downtime and faster top-ups, which is a notable advantage in its price category.

Durability, Storage, and Pricing

Budget phones often cut corners on build quality, but the Hot 60i tries to reassure users with an IP54 rating, providing resistance against splashes and dust. Storage options are practical, too:

• Variants:

  • 6GB RAM + 128GB storage (~$115 / PKR 32,000)

  • 8GB RAM + 256GB storage (~$135 / PKR 38,000)

These options offer decent flexibility for casual users who want smooth multitasking and plenty of room for photos, apps, and media.

Conclusion

The Infinix Hot 60i quietly enters the market with subtle yet significant upgrades where it matters: a sharper display, higher refresh rate, improved battery and charging, and a dependable 50MP camera. While its chipset might limit heavy gaming or intense multitasking, for everyday use it’s positioned as a reliable budget companion.

If you’re after an affordable phone that doesn’t feel outdated, the Hot 60i is worth watching — especially once it expands to more regions.
