If you’re on the hunt for a budget phone that doesn’t feel cheap, Infinix just dropped a surprise you might want to check out. Meet the Infinix Hot 60i — the latest entry in the Hot series that packs some pretty impressive features, all while keeping your wallet safe.
Here’s a full look at what it offers, and why this phone might just be the next big thing in the entry-level market.
Officially Released – When and Where?
After its initial release in Bangladesh, the Infinix Hot 60i was formally released in June 2025. But here’s the good news: the device has already passed TKDN and SDPPI certifications in Indonesia, which means its local release is just around the corner — likely in early to mid-July 2025.
And the price? Expected to start at around Rp1.5–1.7 million, depending on the variant. Yup, you’re getting a lot for very little.
Design & Display: Big, Bold, and Smooth
At a glance, the Hot 60i looks sleek and modern, almost like its older sibling Hot 50 — but there are some meaningful upgrades here.
- 6.6-inch IPS LCD
- Full HD+ resolution (not just HD+!)
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Gorilla Glass protection
That 120Hz screen isn’t just for show — scrolling, gaming, and watching videos feel a lot smoother compared to your typical budget phone.
Performance: New Chip, New Power
The MediaTek Helio G81 processor, which is clocked at 2.0 GHz and is a minor improvement over the G88, powers the Hot 60i. It’s paired with:
- 4GB or 8GB RAM (with up to 16GB extended RAM)
- 128GB internal storage
- Expandable microSD slot
Whether you’re multitasking, watching YouTube, or playing light games, this setup should handle it smoothly.
Camera: 50MP and Ready for the ‘Gram
The rear camera setup features:
- 50MP main sensor (wide)
- AI depth/macro sensor
- 8MP selfie camera
You won’t get flagship-level shots, but for this price, you’ll be surprised by how good your photos look — especially in daylight.
Bonus: It supports Full HD video recording, so your TikToks and vlogs will look sharp too.
Battery and Charging: Super Fast at This Price
Here’s where Infinix really flexes:
- 5160mAh battery
- 45W fast charging
That’s a huge win in this price range — most competitors only offer 18W or 33W. A full charge takes just over an hour, which is super convenient.
Additional Features & Connectivity: NFC, IP Rating, and Two Speakers
Infinix didn’t stop at the basics. The Hot 60i comes with:
- NFC support (rare for entry-level phones!)
- Stereo speakers
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- Side-mounted fingerprint scanner
- IP64 certified (dust and splash resistant)
These are features usually reserved for mid-range phones. Including them here makes the Hot 60i a standout.
Software: Android 15 Right Out of the Box
The Hot 60i comes with Infinix’s distinctive user interface pre-installed together with XOS 15.1 and Android 15.
It brings a clean interface, extra customization, and useful features like kids mode, social turbo, and battery lab to extend standby time.
How It Stacks Up Against the Competition
At under Rp2 million, the Hot 60i beats many competitors like the Redmi A3 or Realme C53 in three major areas:
- Smoother 120Hz display
- Faster 45W charging
- Better RAM + NFC support
It’s the kind of value that makes you go, “Wait… why is this still considered entry-level?”
Final Verdict: A Hot Deal in Every Sense
If you’re a student, casual user, or even a gadget enthusiast looking for a reliable secondary phone, the Infinix Hot 60i ticks all the right boxes. Stylish design, modern software, fast charging, and a 120Hz screen — this phone punches way above its weight.
Rating: 8.5/10 — Budget Phone of the Year Contender? We think so.
