KUALA LUMPUR, 10 July, 2025 — Infinix just dropped something pretty exciting for Malaysian smartphone users who want premium features without the premium price tag. The brand's new HOT 60 Series – featuring the HOT 60 5G and HOT 60i – officially launched on July 10, 2025, and honestly, the specs look impressive for the price point.
What Makes These Phones Special?
The standout here is definitely the HOT 60 5G, which packs MediaTek's Dimensity 7060 5G processor – apparently the most powerful chip you can get in this price range. With an AnTuTu benchmark score hitting 513,286, this isn't just marketing fluff. The phone can handle Free Fire at 90FPS thanks to its Enhanced Esports Pro Engine, which should make mobile gamers pretty happy.
But here's the kicker – both phones are ridiculously thin. The HOT 60 5G measures just 7.8mm, while the HOT 60i is even slimmer at 7.7mm. That's impressive when you consider they're packing 5,200mAh and 5,160mAh batteries respectively.
Color Options That Actually Matter
Infinix clearly knows their target audience. The HOT 60 5G comes in Sleek Black, Shadow Blue, Tundra Green, and something called "Caramel Glow" – which is apparently vegan leather that's not just textured but actually scented. Yes, you read that right, your phone has a scent.
The HOT 60i brings even more personality with Sleek Black, Titanium Silver, Neon Red, Shadow Blue, and Soul Eye Purple. These aren't your typical boring smartphone colors, and that's refreshing.
AI Features That Actually Sound Useful
The real game-changer might be the AI integration. Both phones feature an "Adaptive One-Tap AI Button" – a dedicated physical button that activates Folax, Infinix's voice assistant. Double-press it to launch your favorite apps instantly. It's a small touch that could make daily use way more convenient.
The AI features get interesting with things like AI Sketch to Image (turn your doodles into actual art) and AI Text to Image for custom wallpapers. There's also AI Writing to help polish your text and AI Summary to condense long recordings or documents.
The HOT 60 5G gets exclusive access to AI Vogue Portraits for stylized photo effects and "Circle It, Search It" – basically, draw a circle around anything on your screen and get instant AI-powered search results about it.
Display and Battery Life
Both phones sport 6.7-inch displays with 120Hz refresh rates and 700 nits peak brightness. That should mean smooth scrolling and decent outdoor visibility – important for a phone in this price range.
The HOT 60i's battery deserves special mention. At 5,160mAh, Infinix claims it's the thinnest battery of this capacity in the industry. Plus, it supports 45W fast charging and is designed to maintain 80% health after five years of daily use. That's some serious longevity planning.
Connectivity and Durability
Both phones support some interesting connectivity features like NFC Touch Transfer for easy file sharing and UltraLink Free Call, which lets you communicate without a mobile network – perfect for emergencies or remote areas. They're also IP64-rated for dust and water resistance.
Pricing and Availability
Here's where it gets really interesting. The HOT 60 5G is priced at RM599 (256GB + 8GB), while the HOT 60i starts at RM499 (256GB + 8GB). But there's a sweet deal with Unifi Mobile where you can get the HOT 60 5G completely free when you sign up for their UNI5G Postpaid plan.
Both phones are available online through Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop, plus offline at Infinix Brand Stores and authorized dealers.
The Bottom Line
For smartphones starting at RM499, the HOT 60 Series offers some genuinely compelling features. The AI integration isn't just gimmicky – it actually sounds useful for daily tasks. The gaming performance specs look solid, and the design choices show Infinix understands what young consumers want.
Whether these phones can deliver on their promises in real-world use remains to be seen, but on paper, they're offering a lot of value for the price point. The free phone deal with Unifi Mobile makes the HOT 60 5G particularly attractive for those looking to upgrade their mobile plan anyway.
