In Nigeria’s fast-paced, mobile-first society, a smartphone isn’t just a device, it’s your bank, office, entertainment hub, and camera rolled into one.

Whether you’re a student in Ilorin, a businesswoman navigating Lagos traffic or a bolt rider trying to grab more orders, your phone needs to be smart, tough, and battery-conscious.

Enter the HOT 60i, Infinix’s latest mid-range powerhouse that combines style, performance, and smart utility in a surprisingly slim body.

How does it compare with competition in same range like Redmi 14C, TECNO Spark 40 or Samsung Galaxy A06?

Let’s break down why this phone might just be your best daily companion at under ₦150k.

Battery Built for Naija Life

No NEPA? No wahala.

The HOT 60i boasts a 5160mAh battery with 45W fast charging, giving you the confidence to move freely without obsessing over power banks.

The battery is built to last over 1,800 charge cycles, that’s more than five years of usage. Whether you’re binge-watching Big Brother Naija or streaming Premier League matches on 4G, you’re covered.

Fast Charge: Charging is no longer a hassle as you can go from 0 to 100% in just under 65 minutes.

Performance with a Purpose

Under the hood, the HOT 60i is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81, a capable processor that balances performance and power efficiency.

Combined with XOS 15 (Infinix’s latest operating system), you get: 30% smoother screen transitions, 20% faster app loading, and TUV-certified 5-year fluency performance.

This means whether you’re switching between WhatsApp, Konga, PalmPay or your crypto apps, the phone keeps up without lag.

Outdoor Booster: Designed for Hustle Mode

If you’re a delivery rider, keke driver, or working outdoors, the HOT 60i’s Outdoor Booster is a lifesaver.

What does it offer? We tested the device and found out that the outdoor screen mode cranks brightness by up to 700 nits, so you can see the screen clearly even under bright sun.

The enhanced speaker volume gives an extra 2dB boost for hands-free calls. Also, order-grabbing optimization improves loading success by 10%, even with shaky network coverage.

It’s like the phone was built for the Nigerian side hustle.

Infinix AI & Smart Features

Hot 60i comes with Adaptive One-Tap AI button, a dedicated shortcut designed to give you instant access to Infinix’s AI-powered assistant, Folax, and your favourite smart tools, without needing to navigate menus

Here’s what it does:

Quick‑launch Folax AI: Long-press the button to summon Folax, which can answer questions, summon context-aware help, or perform tasks based on what’s on your screen.

Custom shortcuts: You can customise short-press or double-press commands, like opening an app, triggering “Circle to Search,” launching the camera, or executing other smart actions

In short, the button packs one-tap convenience and smart functionality into a single physical control, making your smartphone experience smoother, faster, and more intuitive.

Circle to Search with Infinix AI

One standout feature across the HOT 60 Series is Google’s Circle to Search, built into the AI toolkit.

With this, users can: press and hold the power button, draw a circle around anything on the screen (image, text, product), and instantly search Google without switching apps.

It’s perfect for snapping, searching, and solving in real-time, making the HOT 60i Pro and Pro+ especially attractive for students, researchers, and social users.

Another standout feature is Ultralink Free Call, which allows voice and text communication over Bluetooth up to 500 meters, even without mobile network coverage. Perfect for remote areas, crowded events, or emergencies.

Cameras: Solid for its Price Point

While it’s not a flagship killer, the HOT 60i comes with a 50MP main camera that handles daytime shots quite well. Night shots are average, but acceptable. The 8MP front camera performs modestly, suitable for casual selfies and video calls.

For content creators, it’s decent for TikTok, Facebook Reels, and quick YouTube content. The rear cam is the real MVP here.

Design & Display: Slim, Sleek, and Proudly Bold

With a 7.7mm slim frame and a weight of 188g, the HOT 60i is one of the slimmest phones in its class.

It also passes 1.5m drop tests and features IP64 dust and water resistance, so it can survive the occasional okada fall or rainy-day splashes.

Display-wise, you get:

  • 6.7-inch screen
  • 120Hz refresh rate (great for gamers and video lovers)
  • Low blue light certification, protecting your eyes during long screen sessions

Colour selection: Infinix HOT 60i is available in unique colours like Souleye Purple, Meadow Green, and Shadow Blue, it doesn’t just perform, it turns heads.

On display, Infinix crushes it with a smoother 120Hz display and outdoor visibility, ideal for delivery riders or roadside hustlers.

Connectivity

Enjoy lightning-fast LTE network speeds for smooth browsing, streaming, and app downloads.

The Infinix Hot 60i ensures stable internet connectivity and reduced lag, so you can enjoy seamless video calls, online classes, and social media without interruption.

Should I buy?

Before arriving at a conclusion, consider these:

  • Looking at other phones in its range, the Infinix HOT 60i stands out. For instance, Redmi 14C ships with MIUI 14 based on Android 13, while the HOT 60i runs on XOS based on Android 13, MIUI – it is more refined.
  • If you bring up Samsung Galaxy A06 which supports up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, Infinix HOT 60i provides more flexibility for power users with 8GB RAM (with virtual RAM) and 128GB storage.
  • Infinix HOT 60i was introduced almost the same time as TECNO Spark 40. If you consider which has better processor, Hot 60i is powered by a MediaTek Helio G37, while Spark 40 runs on a Unisoc T606 chipset, thereby giving Infinix a slight edge in performance, especially for multitasking and light gaming.

Therefore, buy the Infinix HOT 60i if you want:

  • A tough, stylish phone for everyday hustle
  • Long battery life and rapid charging
  • Smart tools like Folax AI and Ultralink calls
  • A better selfie experience and brighter screen

Pricing starts from N143,900 for the HOT 60i (128+4GB, expandable to 8GB) which is a good for a smartphone with the features mentioned above.

Final Verdict: Made for the Everyday Nigerian
