Infinix has been on a tear lately. Hot on the heels of announcing the local launch of the Infinix XPAD 20, the brand’s Philippine arm has quietly rolled out a new member of its HOT 60 series.

We’re talking about the Infinix HOT 60i, now available on the company’s official Lazada and Shopee storefronts. In the Philippines, it kicks off at P7,499, roughly $133 converted, for the base configuration, which gets you 4GB of physical RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The beefier 8GB RAM/256GB kit typically goes for P7,999 ($142). Take note that even the base model provides a spacious 256GB of storage, which is further expandable via a microSD card up to 1TB.

As is customary with Infinix’s launches here and abroad, expect both versions to see significant price drops during initial sales, with the HOT 60i reportedly dipping under P6,000 ($106) on Shopee. The color options for the Philippine market are surprisingly diverse, too — Sleek Black, Titanium Silver, Shadow Blue, Neon Red, Meadow Green, and Soul Eye Purple.

6 colors to choose from!

Much like the last-gen Infinix HOT 50 Pro Plus, which we reviewed last year, Infinix appears to be doubling down on the “thin and light” ethos for this budget-friendly series. The Infinix HOT 60i’s tagline, “Thin, yet everything,” rings true with its impressively slim 7.7mm profile and a mere 188-gram weight.

Yet despite its svelte dimensions, this new phone doesn’t skimp on endurance — at least on paper. Infinix has managed to cram a pretty hefty 5,160mAh battery inside, complete with 45-watt fast charging. That’s a noteworthy feat, especially considering its price segment, and it even outpaces the battery capacity of some of Samsung’s most premium offerings, including the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold7.

It’s HOT, it’s here!!
Experience the new HOT60i and enjoy a perfect blend of style and power with a 7.7mm ultra-slim yet drop-resistant body, a massive 5160mAh battery + 45W Fast Charge that gets you to 50% in just 24 mins

The 6.7-inch IPS screen is also nothing to scoff at, especially for a budget device. It boasts a bright 700 nits, a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and Always-On Display. Under the hood, the Infinix HOT 60i is powered by a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultimate 4G chipset paired with dual-core Mali-G52 graphics. Running the show is XOS 15.1.1, the brand’s custom overlay based on Android 15, which, as expected, comes loaded with several AI-powered features.

Other notable inclusions are a convenient side-mounted One-Tap AI physical button and an IP64 dust- and water-resistance rating.
