Infinix Hot 60i review
The Hot 60i suits buyers in 5G-enabled regions who prioritise all-day battery and practicality over raw speed or screen sharpness, especially if they run two SIMs. Anyone bothered by soft text, slow charging, or sluggish app loading should look at a slightly pricier alternative with faster storage and display resolution.
This review is based on Infinix’s published specifications and public benchmark data for the Infinix Hot 60i, and the rating is spec-based. GoSolo does not physically test devices; where we estimate real-world behaviour such as battery life or charge time, we say so. How we rate phones.
Overview
The Infinix Hot 60i is a 5G-enabled budget phone that prioritises battery endurance and a bright 120Hz display over raw speed or display sharpness. At around €90, it offers practical value for buyers in regions with 5G coverage who can tolerate a 720p screen and slower storage, but it's held back by modest RAM, soft text rendering, and a frankly slow charging pace for a 6000 mAh pack.
Design & build
At 199 grams and 8.1 mm thick, the Hot 60i is trim and pocketable. The dual Nano-SIM slot with a dedicated microSDXC tray is a real convenience—you do not have to choose between a second number and extra storage. IP64 rating and 1.5m drop resilience signal practical durability for everyday jostling, spilled coffee, or a light tumble, though this is not ruggedized kit. The Monsoon Green and Plum Red colour options add a touch of personality to what is otherwise an ordinary industrial design.
Display
The 6.75-inch IPS LCD with 120Hz refresh is the display's strongest suit. At 670 nits peak brightness, it stays legible in direct sunlight and scrolling feels smooth rather than choppy. The real wrinkle is resolution: 720 x 1600 pixels on that size means around 260 ppi, which translates to visibly soft text and jagged edges if you look closely. By 2025 standards, even budget rivals routinely offer 1080p at this screen diagonal, so the Hot 60i asks you to accept a noticeably grainier picture. The 120Hz does sweeten the scrolling experience enough that it does not feel painful, but do not expect crispness.
Performance
The Dimensity 6400 and Mali-G57 GPU are solid mainstream midrange parts. Everyday apps—messaging, social media, even light gaming—run without stutter, and the octa-core processor keeps things responsive enough for a device at this price. The problem is the 4GB RAM and eMMC storage. Four gigabytes is adequate for normal multitasking but leaves no room for app sprawl, and eMMC storage is noticeably slower than UFS; you will feel the lag when launching apps or switching between them. A phone at €90 is not going to surprise you with speed, but the storage choice feels like a cost-corner Infinix did not need to cut.
Software
Android 15 with Infinix's XOS 15.1 overlay lands here fresh out of the box. XOS adds a light skin of customisation without drowning the interface in bloat, and Infinix's update track record for budget models is patchy, so do not expect multi-year security patches. For a €90 phone, though, launching on Android 15 is a fair baseline.
Camera
The 50MP main sensor with f/1.6 aperture and autofocus is genuinely useful in daylight and handles low light better than the spec suggests, thanks to the fast glass and dual LED flash. Colours are natural, and HDR mode steers clear of the overdone look. The real limits are software; 1080p@30fps video is the ceiling, so no 4K, and the 5MP selfie camera is purely functional—fine for video calls, hopeless for anything more than a casual snap. For someone who shoots the occasional photo but does not obsess over manual modes or 4K footage, the main camera is sufficient.
Battery & charging
The 6000 mAh battery is where the Hot 60i genuinely earns its stripes. With the 120Hz display and everyday mixed use, you will hit a full day without strain and often creep into an evening or even a second partial day on lighter duty. That is solid endurance for the class. The charging speed, though, is oddly stingy: 18W wired takes roughly 90 to 120 minutes from empty, while the 10W reverse wireless charging option is more a gimmick than a lifeline. Rivals at this price tier now routinely hit 30–40W, so the Hot 60i feels leisurely by comparison.
Value & verdict
At around €90, the Hot 60i threads a narrow needle. If you live in a region with solid 5G coverage, run two phone numbers, and prize battery life and screen brightness over display crispness, this phone makes pragmatic sense. The 120Hz LCD is pleasant, the 50MP camera does the job, and the 6000 mAh pack genuinely endures. Where it stumbles is in the details: slow charging, soft 720p text, sluggish eMMC storage, and barely-there selfie and video specs. For someone willing to accept those trade-offs in exchange for a day-plus battery life and 5G at a bargain price, the Hot 60i works. Anyone wanting faster storage, sharper text, or quicker charging will want to stretch a bit further or look at last year's midrange models, which often offer better value at only a modest upstep in cost.
Verdict
The Hot 60i suits buyers in 5G-enabled regions who prioritise all-day battery and practicality over raw speed or screen sharpness, especially if they run two SIMs. Anyone bothered by soft text, slow charging, or sluggish app loading should look at a slightly pricier alternative with faster storage and display resolution.
- 6000 mAh battery easily clears a full day even with 120Hz enabled; 5G and dual-SIM support come standard
- 120Hz IPS LCD with 670 nits peak brightness keeps outdoor readability crisp and scrolling fluid
- 50MP f/1.6 main camera with autofocus and dual LED flash handles daylight photography without fuss, and the 1.5m drop resistance plus IP64 rating cushion against spills and everyday tumbles
- Dedicated microSDXC slot lets you expand beyond the 128GB without sacrificing a SIM
- 18W charging crawls past 90 minutes even from empty; rivals at this price now push 30–40W
- 720p on a 6.75-inch display yields soft, slightly fuzzy text compared to 1080p peers, and the 4GB RAM with eMMC storage makes app launching noticeably sluggish
- 5MP selfie camera and 1080p@30fps video capture are genuinely bare-bones
