Infinix Hot 60i debuts with 120 Hz display and Helio G81 Ultimate chipset

Infinix has unveiled a new affordable smartphone in the Hot 60 series, the Infinix Hot 60i. The company’s new entry-level smartphone brings a decent set of features for the price. A direct successor to last year's Hot 50i comes with a single 50 MP camera on the back that supports 1080p 30 fps video recording. Plus, you’ll find an 8 MP selfie shooter on the front. 

The smartphone retains same display specs from its predecessor, boasting a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display that outputs at 1600 x 720 pixels with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 700 nits. This time around, Infinix has used a slightly upgraded version of the Helio G81 in the smartphone, a similar processor found in the last-generation model. The Infinix Hot 60i is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultimate chipset. 

Furthermore, it packs 4/6/8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128/256 GB eMMC 5.1 internal storage, which is further expandable up to 1 TB. The battery capacity of the smartphone is now slightly bigger than before. A 5,160 mAh battery (up from 5,000 mAh of the Hot 50i) powers the internals and now supports 45 W wired charging, a step up from just 18 W on the 50i. 

Dimensionally, the phone now comes in a slimmer profile compared to its predecessor, measuring just 7.7 mm (0.30 inch) in thickness and weighing around 188 grams (0.41 lbs). Other features include IP64 water and dust resistance, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 5, an IR blaster, XOS 15-based Android 15 OS, and up to 8 GB of extended RAM. 

Available in six colorways, including sleek black, titanium silver, shadow blue, neon red, meadow green, and soul eye purple, the Infinix Hot 60i starts at BDT 14,000 (€98/$115) for the 6 GB + 128 GB model. While the 8 GB + 256 GB model is priced at BDT 16,500 (€115/$135). It’s now available via Infinix’ official website.
