Infinix Hot 60 5G+ First Impressions: A budget phone, with boss energy

Infinix is back with another wallet-friendly phone, and the Hot 60 5G+ is here to turn heads. Priced under ₹11,000, this device is giving serious bang for your buck, especially with how much it packs in both looks and performance.

Let’s start with the design. At just 7.8mm thick and weighing 193 grams, the Hot 60 5G+ feels surprisingly premium for the price. The Tundra Green variant looks especially sharp, with copper accents around the camera module giving it a classy finish. Even though it has a plastic back, the phone feels rock-solid in the hand—definitely doesn’t scream “budget.” There’s also IP64 protection, and a handy dedicated shortcut button adds a nice touch.

Under the hood, the phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chipset, paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage (expandable up to 2TB). Infinix even promises up to 90fps in popular games like BGMI, which is wild at this price point.

On the front, you’re looking at a 6.7-inch HD+ IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s not AMOLED, but the high refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming smooth enough for everyday use.

The phone runs on XOS 15 based on Android 15, and comes with Infinix’s own AI tools and the Folax personal assistant baked in.

Camera-wise, you get a 50MP main sensor on the back and an 8MP selfie shooter up front. There’s no OIS or autofocus on the front, but it gets the job done for casual snaps.

The battery is a solid 5,200mAh with 18W fast charging and 10W reverse charging—something you rarely see at this price. Oh, and yes, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack too.

All things considered, the Infinix Hot 60 5G+ is looking like a total steal for under ₹11K. Solid build, decent power, smooth screen, and gaming chops? This might be the new budget king.
