Infinix has introduced the HOT 60i 5G, one of its most budget-friendly 5G smartphones in the Philippines, priced below PHP 7,000. This new model features 5G connectivity and is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity processor, making it one of the most affordable 5G-ready options in the local market.
The Infinix HOT 60i 5G shares a design similar to its 4G version but includes significant upgrades. It has a thickness of 8.14mm, accommodating a larger battery and a more advanced chipset. The device boasts an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance and is available in Monsoon Green, Shadow Blue, Sleek Black, and Plum Red.
The front of the device features a 6.75-inch LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, enhancing smooth scrolling and animations compared to typical budget smartphones. The screen offers up to 670 nits of peak brightness and includes Wet & Greasy Touch technology for improved responsiveness even with damp fingers.
The device is powered by the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor, a chip commonly found in higher-end models. It comes with 4GB of RAM that can be virtually expanded and 128GB of internal storage. Infinix markets the HOT 60i 5G as suitable for everyday use, light gaming, and basic multitasking, with added AI features accessed via a dedicated One Tap AI Button.
For photography, the phone has a 50MP rear camera with a bright f/1.6 aperture, while the 5MP front camera is designated for selfies and video calls. The device features a substantial 6,000mAh battery, which Infinix claims can provide over eight hours of mobile gaming on a single charge. Charging is supported through USB-C at 18W.
The HOT 60i 5G operates on Android 15 with XOS 15.1 and offers features such as UltraLink Free Call, allowing users to make calls via Bluetooth without a cellular signal—beneficial in crowded or low-reception areas.
Infinix has set the price of the HOT 60i 5G at PHP 6,999, making it an accessible entry point to 5G technology for consumers in the Philippines.
