I spent the last two months using the Infinix Note 60 Pro as my primary phone to see how it handles everyday tasks. Finding a phone that balances long battery life, and display quality is a tough job. Most brands focus on the processor and ignore the battery capacity. I got the Mocha Brown version with 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM which costs 40,999 rupees in India. There is also a cheaper 128GB variant priced at 35,999 rupees. I wanted to see if this device actually delivers on its high promises or if the hardware falls short during regular daily use like browsing the web, taking photos, and commuting on the Delhi metro.
Key Takeaways
-
The large 6500mAh battery provides two full days of use without needing a wall charger.
-
Screen brightness reaches up to 4500 nits making it very easy to read under direct sunlight.
-
Using older UFS 2.2 storage is a strange choice for a phone costing over 35,000 rupees.
-
The phone feels surprisingly thin at just 7.45mm despite holding a very big battery.
-
Android 16 software runs very smoothly without heavy bloatware apps getting in the way.
-
The device offers 30W wireless charging which is hard to find in this price range.
Design
The phone feels well-built the moment you pick it up. My unit is the Mocha Brown color. It has a smooth matte finish that completely hides fingerprint smudges. The device weighs 200 grams. This weight is very normal for large phones today. What surprised me is the thickness. Infinix managed to fit a huge battery into a body that is only 7.45mm thick. It slides into my jeans pocket easily. I did not feel any sharp edges while holding it for long phone calls.
The brand used Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for the display protection. I accidentally dropped the phone from a low height onto my wooden floor and it survived without a scratch. The IP64 rating means it can survive water splashes and dust. I used it lightly during a brief rain shower in Delhi to book a cab and the screen kept responding properly.
I still would not advise submerging it in a bucket of water. The right side has the power and volume buttons which have a nice clicky feel. The in display fingerprint scanner rests near the bottom edge. It recognizes my fingerprint quickly most of the time but struggles slightly if my thumb is wet or sweaty. The phone also features an X Axis linear motor. This gives a very tight and satisfying vibration feedback when you type messages on the keyboard.
Display
The screen is probably the best part of the Infinix Note 60 Pro. It features a 6.78 inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution. The colors are very punchy and the deep blacks make watching movies highly enjoyable. The panel supports a 144Hz maximum refresh rate. Scrolling through Instagram and reading news apps feels very fast and fluid. The screen shifts refresh rates automatically to save power.
Outdoors the display performs extremely well. The company claims a peak brightness of 4500 nits. While that high number is only for bright HDR video scenes, the regular high brightness mode reaches 1600 nits. I never had to squint to read text messages or scan a UPI QR code while walking in bright afternoon sunlight. The screen also features 2304Hz PWM dimming. This reduces screen flickering when you use the phone in a dark room at night. I watch a lot of YouTube videos before sleeping and my eyes felt less tired compared to my older phone. Audio comes through dual speakers tuned by JBL. They get very loud and do a good job with dialogue in movies but lack a bit of bass for heavy music tracks. The Widevine L1 certification allows you to stream Netflix and Amazon Prime videos in full high definition.
Gaming
Inside the phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor. This chip is based on a 4nm process. The octa core CPU handles common apps very well. Switching between WhatsApp, Gmail, and Chrome is fast thanks to the 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM. You also get an option to use 8GB of extended virtual RAM but I usually keep that turned off because the physical memory is plenty.
Gaming performance is decent but not top tier. The Adreno A810 GPU runs games like Call of Duty Mobile on medium to high settings smoothly. If you push the graphics to the maximum limit, you will notice some dropped frames. The phone gets warm near the camera module after thirty minutes of continuous gaming.
My biggest complaint is the storage type. Infinix used UFS 2.2 storage here. At a price of 34,999 rupees, buyers expect faster UFS 3.1 storage. Because of this older standard, installing large apps takes a bit longer and loading heavy game files feels a bit slow. Moving a folder of large video files from my laptop to the phone took more time than I expected.
On the software side the phone runs Android 16 right out of the box. The user interface is clean and easy to navigate. It does not bombard you with unwanted notifications from pre installed store apps. The menus are simple to understand and the settings app is nicely organized.
Camera Capabilities
The camera system is a mixed bag. The main rear camera uses a 50MP sensor with an f/1.59 aperture and optical image stabilization. In broad daylight the main camera captures highly detailed photos. The colors look natural and the contrast between bright skies and dark shadows is good. The camera app includes many modes like Street Snap, Sky Shop, and Super Macro. The macro mode works okay for taking close up shots of flowers.
Things get worse when you switch to the 8MP ultra wide lens. The photos lack sharpness and the edges of the images look blurry. At night the main 50MP camera does a fair job with the Super Night mode, but the 8MP lens is completely useless in low light. The ultra wide images come out very grainy and soft.
The 13MP front camera takes basic selfies. Skin tones look slightly washed out in indoor lighting. For video recording the phone supports 4K at 30 frames per second on both the front and rear cameras. The optical image stabilization on the main lens helps keep walking videos steady. The vlog and dual video modes are fun extras to play around with but I rarely used them after the first few days of testing.
Battery
Battery life is where this device truly shines. The 6500mAh capacity is larger than almost every other phone in this price range. I start my day at 8 AM and use the phone for calls, GPS navigation, music streaming, and social media. By 10 PM I usually still have 40 percent battery left. A light user can easily stretch this to two full days of use.
Charging is equally impressive. The 90W wired charger fills the large battery from zero to full in just under an hour. The phone supports 30W wireless charging which is very rare at this price point. I keep a wireless charging pad on my office desk and simply rest the phone there. It also has reverse wired and wireless charging. I used the 5W reverse wireless feature to charge my earbuds a few times by placing them on the back of the phone and it worked perfectly.

My Final Thoughts
The Infinix Note 60 Pro is a strange mix of premium and budget hardware. The display and battery setup are fantastic. Having a 6500mAh battery inside a 7.45mm body is a great engineering effort. The wireless charging support is a huge bonus that adds genuine value for buyers. I really enjoyed watching video content on the bright AMOLED screen.
However the device falls short in some areas. Putting UFS 2.2 storage in a phone that costs 34,999 rupees slows down the overall speed. The secondary cameras are weak and do not match the quality of the main 50MP sensor. I think this phone is highly suitable for people who travel a lot and prioritize battery life and screen quality above everything else. If your main focus is heavy gaming or taking ultra wide photos, you might want to look at other options in the Indian market.
