The Infinix Hot 60 Max 5G is creating a stir in the budget segment thanks to how it succeeds to incorporate several highend features without charging a premium price. To capture the essence of the smartphone, the excerpt below is curated with the respect and style of a proven technology writer.
The Design And Display
The Hot 60 Max 5G, Infinix’s newest smartphone, features a glass panel on the front and a cool plastic panel on the back and around the edges offered in Sleek Black and Tundra Green. One of the better features is the 6.7-inch HD+ IPS LCD display that is capable of achieving a 120Hz refresh rate. 120Hz at this price is impressive. Daily tasks on the smartphone remain smooth and responsive even at 560-nit (700-nit HBM) of brightness. Complementing the brightness is the IP64 certification, which protects the smartphone from dust and water splashes.
The Performance And Software
The Hot 60 Max 5G is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chipset, which is considered to be among the fastest in its class, built on a 6nm process. It is paired with 8GB of RAM, (6GB of which is virtual), and super LPDDR5X. 250GB of storage which can be increased to 2TB via microSD, also features future-ready capability that is typically reserved for flagship smartphones. The smartphone is equipped with Android 15 and the XOS 15.1 skin, which is considered to be clutter free and promises regular updates.
AI, Usability, and Extras
An overwhelmingly useful feature is the AI button which activates Folax, the assistant developed by Infinix that can handle calls, fetch the weather, and run shortcut apps which is a delight to have at this price point. In this device, Folax can respond to voice commands and users can give commands like ‘weather’, ‘call …’, ‘maps’, etc. and have apps open automatically. It also has a feature called “Circle to Search which enables a user to find on-screen content with a swipe which is a very interactive and user friendly feature.
Cameras Built for Creativity
On the back of the device, it has a 50MP main camera with a dual-LED flash and depth assistant. It can capture videos of up to 2K (1440p) at 30fps, and 1080p at higher frame rates which is rather decent for content creators on a budget. There is also an 8MP wide front camera with an LED flash that can take decent selfies at any time.
Battery and Charging
The device also has a very convenient feature of a 5,200 mAh battery which can last for a whole day on heavy usage. If the battery runs low, there is 18W wired charging and reverse charging which enables other devices to be charged. Unfortunately, this is also the only feature which I wish could be enhanced for faster charging speeds.
User Experience
The Hot 60 Max 5G even surpasses several competitors in its class as it provides uninterrupted and smooth in-game experiences in mobile games such as Call of Duty and even multitasking. The side-mounted fingerprint scanner, headphone jack, and dual SIM as well as Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity provide decent connectivity being a mobile companion.
Value Proposition
Being sold for around 10,499 rupees (approximately 110 EUR) and as a 5G phone with a decent screen, gaming capabilities, and even AI functions, the Infinix Hot 60 Max 5G stands as a remarkable phone. The only meaningful drawbacks are the presence of some pre-installed apps (bloatware) and a charging speed that, while fair, isn’t bleeding-edge.
Final Thoughts
Hot 60 Max 5G is a piece of stunning modern technology that users in quest of a well rounded, reasonably priced, and heavy on features 5G smartphone would truly appreciate.
