We thought the chassis war was over: for two years the trend favored thick, heavy phones built around XXL batteries. Infinix goes the other way with the Hot 60 Pro+: 6.6 mm thin, a GT-racing-inspired design, and a promise not to sacrifice endurance.
The design bet
The 60 Pro+ borrows the codes of motorsport special editions: taut lines, two-tone back, GT badge. It is not just styling — 6.6 mm places the phone in a rare category:
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 6.6 mm (among the thinnest available) |
| Display | 6.78" curved AMOLED, 144 Hz |
| Chipset | MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate |
| RAM / Storage | 8 GB (+8 virtual) / 256 GB |
| Battery | ~5500 mAh silicon-carbon |
| Charging | 45 W |
| Resistance | IP65 |
Slim but not fragile
The classic doubt with ultra-thin phones: durability. Infinix claims a reinforced chassis and IP65 splash resistance — not full immersion, but enough for rain and daily accidents. Silicon-carbon battery chemistry explains the feat: 15–20 percent denser than conventional lithium, it fits an honest capacity into minimal volume.
Endurance-wise, expect 9–10 hours of screen-on time — no record, but comfortably a full day. The 45 W charging covers forgetfulness: 40 minutes back to 100 percent.
Which buyer is it for?
- The shop owner / salesperson: a phone that impresses from the first handshake
- The design lover: the budget segment has never looked this refined
- The pragmatist: 144 Hz AMOLED, 256 GB, fast charging — the essentials are all there
If you live far from outlets, however, the endurance champions (POCO F7 and its 7550 mAh, or the upcoming Honor Play 70 Plus) remain the rational choice.
Expected Algeria pricing
The Hot 60 line currently spans 24,000–33,000 DZD depending on variant. The Pro+, at the top, should land around 30,000–35,000 DZD — Galaxy A17 money for twice the character. First store prices will be comparable on Mobilidz as shipments arrive.
The good: unmatched design for the price, a curved 144 Hz AMOLED at this tier is unprecedented, effective 45 W charging.
The trade-offs: honest rather than heroic endurance, a Helio G100 that is smooth daily but capped for heavy gaming, IP65 only (no immersion).
Verdict
The Hot 60 Pro+ is the budget segment's "pleasure" phone: you buy it with your eyes before your head. And sometimes that is exactly what you ask of a phone at this price.
