Infinix Hot 60i 5G brings big battery and fast display on a budget

Budget phones often lack top-notch features. If the screen is large, there’s a compromise on the refresh rate, and if the battery is plenty big, the charging speed is limited. With Infinix’s latest entry-level phone, however, the story is a little different.

The new Infinix Hot 60i 5G not only brings a big screen with high refresh rate support, but also packs a massive battery, has fast charging, and comes with some cool AI features. If you have a budget of Rs 10,000, continue to read, as this device could just be for you.

What’s special about the Infinix Hot 60i 5G?

The Infinix Hot 60i 5G features an uncanny design, with the horizontal camera island placed at the top. It boasts flat colours, making the rear look clean and minimal. The device features a 6.75-inch HD+ display that refreshes at 120Hz, giving it a smooth edge in gaming and scrolling.

At its core is the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chip, paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and another 4GB of virtual RAM for an extra push when multitasking. One of its highlights is the 6,000mAh battery that’s expected to offer a full day of usage. There’s also 18W fast charging and 10W reverse wired charging to top up smaller gadgets.

The device runs Android 15 with HiOS 15, bringing in a layer of AI-powered tools like real-time call translation, Circle to Search, AI wallpaper generation, and a built-in writing assistant.

Cameras are straightforward, with a 50 MP primary sensor capable of 2K video recording and a 5 MP selfie shooter on the front. Other features include an IP64 splash resistance rating, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired music playback.
