Infinix Note 60

Yes, for buyers who put speed and battery life first. The Note 60 pairs a 5G Dimensity 7400 Ultimate chip with a bright 144Hz AMOLED screen, a 6500 mAh battery and 30W wireless charging, a mix few phones at its level offer while many still rely on 4G chips.

The compromises are real: the camera is inconsistent, storage is the slower UFS 2.2 type, the vibration motor is basic and IP64 only protects against splashes. The other question is the gap to the Note 60 Pro, which adds a rear matrix display, X-axis haptics and 90W charging. If that gap is small where you buy, the Pro is the better deal.

Verdict: a smart buy for gamers and heavy users who can accept an average camera.

The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel has a 1.5K resolution and refreshes at up to 144Hz, with Gorilla Glass 7i on top and slim, even bezels. Infinix rates peak brightness at 4500 nits, and in hands-on use it stayed easy to read outdoors.

PWM dimming is rated at 2304Hz, a high figure that should suit eyes sensitive to flicker. Scrolling and gaming feel fluid, and YouTube plays up to 2160p. HDR is less clear: one test found no HDR playback on YouTube, while another listed Widevine L1 for streaming apps, so check HDR support if Netflix matters to you. The always-on display stays lit for only 10 seconds after each tap.

The Dimensity 7400 Ultimate is a 4 nm 5G chip, and everyday use is smooth, with apps opening quickly and XOS 16's animations staying fluid.

Gaming is the strength. PUBG runs at up to 90fps on the smooth setting, and a vapour chamber kept heat low in early testing. Accounts differ on how it compares with the Note 60 Pro's Snapdragon chip: one found gaming as good or better, another found the Pro held higher graphics settings at 60fps for longer.

The limits are memory and storage. Sources disagree on whether the RAM is LPDDR5 or the older LPDDR4X, and the storage is the older UFS 2.2 type, which is slower in large installs and file copies.

The 50 MP main camera has an f/1.6 lens and optical stabilisation, joined by an 8 MP ultrawide and a 13 MP selfie camera. The hardware matches the Note 60 Pro.

Results divide opinion. One hands-on account praised accurate colours and detail that holds up when you zoom in; another saw a magenta tint, colour shifts under indoor lights and shaky video; a third rated rear photos slightly behind the Pro because of weaker processing.

Both cameras record 4K at 30fps, portrait video works at 1080p, and the ultrawide drops to 1080p for video. The selfie camera is above average for the price in good light but not a class leader, so buyers who mainly shoot photos should compare carefully.

Our specs list 6150 mAh or 6500 mAh depending on the market; the units sold in Pakistan carry 6500 mAh. Endurance is a strength: hands-on use suggests seven to eight hours of screen-on time comes easily, eight to ten for heavy users, and close to two days for light use. One assessment found it slightly behind the Note 60 Pro, whose Snapdragon chip is more efficient.

Charging is 45W wired with the charger in the box. Official figures quote 50% in 26 minutes and full in 54 minutes, while one hands-on estimate was 1.25 to 1.5 hours. It also takes 30W magnetic wireless charging through the case in the box, and supports reverse and bypass charging.

It runs XOS 16 on Android 16, with lock-screen customisation, glossy 3D wallpapers, physics-based haptic effects and smooth app animations.

Infinix promises three major Android upgrades, and five years of security updates were quoted at launch, a strong commitment at this level. AI tools include a broader AI editor in the gallery and a call assistant, and the customisable action button can launch assistants such as DeepSeek, Gemini or ChatGPT. Infinix's own dialer supports call recording.
