Infinix has officially unveiled its latest budget smartphone — the Infinix Hot 60, and we’ve got our hands on the device for a full unboxing and first look. Priced at just ₹9,499, the Hot 60 aims to set a new benchmark in the sub-₹10,000 segment with a big display, a trendy design, and reliable day-to-day performance.
First Look: What’s Inside the Box?
Opening the box, you’re greeted with:
- The Infinix Hot 60 handset (with a pre-applied screen protector)
- 18W fast charger + Type-C cable
- Transparent TPU case
- SIM ejector tool
- Quick guide and warranty card
Right out of the box, the device feels sleek and stylish, with a shimmering back panel and flat-edge frame, giving off a premium vibe not usually found in this price range.
Display & Design – Bigger, Brighter, Better
The Hot 60 features a 6.82-inch HD+ punch-hole display with a 90Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and swiping smoother than most phones in this category. The slim bezels and modern design contribute to a device that looks and feels much more expensive than it actually is.
It’s available in eye-catching colors like Galaxy White, Starfall Green, and Horizon Blue, and the textured finish gives it a better grip and fewer fingerprints.
Performance at a Budget
Under the hood, the Infinix Hot 60 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G37 processor, paired with 4GB RAM (plus 4GB virtual RAM) and 128GB storage. For daily usage — such as browsing, video streaming, and light gaming — it handles tasks well without noticeable lag.
It runs on XOS 13 based on Android 13 (Go Edition), offering useful features like social turbo, app freezer, and smart panel access.
Camera Setup
On the rear, the Hot 60 packs a 50MP AI dual-camera setup, supported by dual-LED flash. Images in daylight are crisp, and the AI enhancements work well for portraits. The 8MP front-facing camera is housed in the punch-hole and supports beauty mode and HDR selfies.
Battery and Charging
Powering the device is a 5000mAh battery, which easily lasts a full day on moderate use. It supports 18W Type-C fast charging, meaning even if you’re in a rush, you can get a decent top-up in a short time.
Price and Availability in India
The Infinix Hot 60 is priced at just ₹9,499 for the 4GB + 128GB variant. It’s available exclusively on Flipkart, with launch offers including exchange bonuses and bank discounts. Early buyers may also get screen replacement coverage for the first 100 days.
First Impression Verdict
At first glance, the Infinix Hot 60 looks like a solid budget performer with a great design, smooth display, and generous storage. It’s built for those who want a reliable, stylish phone for daily use without spending more than ₹10,000. If you’re a student, casual user, or gifting someone their first Android device — this one is worth shortlisting.
