A teaser last week confirmed that the Hot 60 series is on its way to Pakistan. Well, the first model has just landed in our market. Infinix Hot 60i is the cheapest option in the lineup with a 4G-ready Helio G81 Ultra chip and a 5160mAh battery under the hood. We have all the details right here, including the price.
Hot 60i comes with three cameras on the back, each with a square lens. The main shooter is a 50MP sensor built in with AutoFocus, and the second is a 2MP portrait assistant. The tertiary lens serves no function — just a decorative piece to blend in with the rest of its siblings.
This device is built around a 6.7” IPS panel. The resolution is capped at 720p, but the display runs at a smooth 120Hz. On top, we have a selfie punch hole that hides an 8MP sensor. The display has good readability for indoor use at 700 nits, but on sunny days, it may struggle.
Latest Infinix budget mobile has a better camera and a higher brightness than the older Hot 50i, but it’s stuck with the same Helio G81 Ultra chipset as last time. Still, if you are already on an entry-level phone looking for a replacement, the Hot 60i should provide roughly the same speeds.
The power upgrade is noticeable. Its battery is bumped to 5160mAh, and the charging speed is 45W instead of the measly 18W input of its precursor. The phone is now IP64 rated, which means it’s splash-proof from certain angles and completely safe from dust ingress.
A reinforced design keeps the Hot 60i safe from fall damage. It’s guaranteed to survive a drop of up to 1.5 meters. The company even reduced its weight and thickness to 188 grams and 7.7mm. An UltraLink feature on this handset allows calls and messaging to a similar device when you don’t have a network, which is perfect for trips to northern areas.
An IR blaster and NFC chip are rare in this category, yet Hot 60i still offers them at a retail cost of Rs 32,999. It’s also one of the few devices with a dedicated AI key and GyroPro navigation. The Hot 60i buyers get a single 6/128GB memory trim in Pakistan right now, although the company might expand it later with an 8/256GB option.
