Infinix Note 60 Pro: specs, price and full review

The Infinix Note 60 Pro is the most balanced 5G mid-ranger Infinix has released in 2026: a very bright 144 Hz AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, a 6,500 mAh battery and 90 W wired charging. Selling for the equivalent of 275 to 320 euros depending on the country, or roughly 180,000 to 210,000 FCFA, it is aimed at people who need to get through a long day away from a socket and top up fast when the power comes back. The cameras and the IP64 rating lag behind, and its official launch in the FCFA zone has not been confirmed yet.

Introduction: the first Infinix with a Snapdragon chip

The Note 60 line-up, unveiled on 18 February 2026, has three main models. The Infinix Note 60 opens the range with a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate chip and 45 W charging. The Note 60 Pro sits just above it. It keeps the same screen, the same form factor and the same battery capacity, but swaps the engine and almost doubles the charging speed. The Infinix Note 60 Ultra tops the range.

One detail stands out: this is the first Infinix smartphone to use a Qualcomm chip, a brand known for keeping heat well under control.

It launched first in Indonesia and Nigeria in February, then in the Philippines and India in April. In West and Central Africa, no official price had been announced as far as we know as of 1 October 2026. Its prices abroad put it at around 180,000 to 210,000 FCFA for the 8 + 256 GB model. It is meant for buyers willing to pay a little more than for a Note 60 in exchange for express charging and wireless charging.

Verdict at a glance

Three numbers matter. First, 90 W: according to measurements published by GSMArena, the battery goes from 0 to 47% in 15 minutes and is full in 41 minutes. Then 6,500 mAh, a comfortable capacity for a phone that is 7.4 mm thick and weighs about 202 g. Finally, 144 Hz for the AMOLED screen. One caveat: some spec sheets list a 6,000 mAh version in certain markets, and the capacity of the version sold in West and Central Africa remains to be confirmed.

Design: aluminium, an LED matrix and IP64

The Note 60 Pro looks the part. The frame is aluminium, the flat screen is covered by Gorilla Glass 7i, and the whole thing measures 162.4 x 77.2 x 7.4 mm for around 202 g. That is slim for 6,500 mAh, but not light. Infinix talks about an aluminium unibody, while GSMArena’s published review describes a glass back with a matte finish. The exact back material therefore remains to be confirmed.

That matte back has one upside and one downside. It barely picks up fingerprints, but it is slippery, to the point that reviewers recommend using the bundled case. The good news is that the case comes in the box along with the 90 W charger and a USB-C cable, and it is magnetic, so it works with MagSafe-style accessories.

What sets this model apart sits in the camera island: a small LED matrix, called Active Matrix Display, shows animations for notifications, the time, the timer, the music player and even a few mini-games. It is a gimmick, but a handy one when the phone is lying face down on the table. Add a customisable One-Tap button on the left edge, heart rate and blood oxygen sensors, and an infrared blaster to control a TV or an air conditioner.

Durability is a more mixed picture. The IP64 rating means full protection against dust and resistance to water splashes, not to immersion. Dust is not a problem, then, but a tropical downpour or a drop into a puddle is poorly covered. Several rivals, including the Tecno Camon 50 Pro with its IP68 and IP69K ratings, do much better at a similar price.

Display: a very bright 144 Hz AMOLED panel

The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel has a resolution of 1,208 x 2,644 pixels, known as 1.5K, or about 429 pixels per inch. That is a little sharper than the usual Full HD+ at this price, and you can see the difference on text. The refresh rate goes up to 144 Hz, which makes scrolling through social media and menus very smooth.

Brightness is one of its strong points. Infinix claims 1,600 nits in high brightness mode and a 4,500-nit peak on a small area. GSMArena’s measurements are more modest but still excellent: about 700 nits with manual brightness, close to 1,700 nits in auto mode and just under 2,000 nits on a small white patch. Put simply, the screen stays readable in direct sunlight, whether at the market or on a terrace at noon.

The panel supports HDR10 and Android’s Ultra HDR photo format. 2,304 Hz PWM dimming limits flicker at low brightness. There are two caveats, though. First, early reviews note that HDR playback is not enabled in streaming apps, so Netflix and YouTube do not look their best. Second, only some games and apps actually use 144 Hz, with many capped at 60 or 120 Hz.

It is still one of the best screens at this price, backed by JBL-tuned stereo speakers that reviewers describe as loud and clear.

Performance: the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 goes the distance

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 is built on a 4 nm process and paired with an Adreno 810 GPU. It comes with 8 or 12 GB of RAM depending on the country, with virtual RAM expansion, and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, with no microSD slot. UFS 2.2 is a bit slow for 2026.

The scores published by GSMArena give a clear idea of where it stands. The phone gets around 963,000 points on AnTuTu v11, 1,246 single-core and 3,412 multi-core on Geekbench 6, and 1,214 points on 3DMark Wild Life Extreme. That makes it a solid mid-ranger. It stays below a true gaming phone such as the Infinix GT 50 Pro.

In the stress test published by GSMArena, the CPU keeps 87% of its performance and the GPU 99%, without the phone getting hot. Infinix has added a vapour chamber called 3D IceCore. In a hot climate, the phone should therefore keep up its pace after half an hour of gaming.

Free Fire, eFootball or Call of Duty Mobile should run on high settings, though not maxed out in the most demanding titles. Bypass charging powers the phone straight from the charger while you play, which spares the battery.

Connectivity is comprehensive: 5G SA and NSA, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and FM radio. Exact support for the 5G bands used by carriers in West and Central Africa has not been published, but 4G is widely covered.

Camera: a good main sensor and a stopgap ultra-wide

The Note 60 Pro has two rear cameras. The 50 MP main sensor has an f/1.6 aperture and optical image stabilisation. It is joined by an 8 MP ultra-wide with a 112-degree field of view. There is no telephoto: 2x zoom is achieved by cropping the main sensor. On the front, a 13 MP camera handles selfies.

In daylight, early published reviews describe photos with good dynamic range and accurate white balance, but slightly soft once you zoom in. On social media you will not notice; if you want to crop, the limit shows up quickly. The ultra-wide delivers pleasant colours but little detail, with slightly forced contrast. It will do for a group shot or a landscape, and that is about it.

The surprise comes at night. The main camera does very well after sunset, handling lights nicely and keeping colours true. Portraits are also appealing, with lively skin tones, even if the default background blur sometimes looks too heavy. Portrait mode at 2x gives a more natural result.

Selfies are the other pleasant surprise: the front camera is rated very good, even in low light.

Video, on the other hand, is the weak spot. The phone records 4K at 30 frames per second with HDR10+, on both the rear and front cameras. But stabilisation lets a persistent shake through, especially at 2x zoom. If you often film while walking, at a wedding or at a concert, a model like the Tecno Camon 50 Pro will suit you better.

Battery and charging: its real strength

The 6,500 mAh battery earns it an endurance score of 16 hours and 6 minutes in GSMArena’s test protocol, with particularly good results for calls and video playback. A busy day should be no problem.

Charging is just as convincing. With the bundled 90 W charger, published measurements show 47% in 15 minutes, 81% in 30 minutes and 100% in 41 minutes. With frequent power cuts, a quarter of an hour of electricity is enough to get back almost half the battery. The 90 W charger comes in the box, which is no longer a given with rival brands.

The Note 60 Pro also supports 30 W wireless charging, a rarity at this price. It can charge another device too, at 7.5 W over cable and 5 W wirelessly. The software lets you cap charging between 80 and 100% to preserve the battery, and Infinix highlights a battery self-repair technology meant to limit wear.

Software: XOS 16, Android 16 and plenty of AI

The phone runs Android 16 with Infinix’s XOS 16 skin. The interface clearly takes cues from iOS, with a dynamic bar around the selfie camera that shows timers, music or charging status. There are plenty of customisation options, and the rear LED matrix can be configured in the settings.

Infinix promises three major Android updates and five years of security patches. That is real progress for a brand long criticised for its software support. The phone should therefore get Android 19 and stay protected until 2031. It remains to be seen whether the update schedule will be kept on African versions, which often get updates later.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere. The Folax assistant runs on the DeepSeek R1 model and offers real-time translation, writing help, document summaries, sketch-to-image conversion and photo editing. Some tools require an internet connection.

The flip side is the preinstalled apps. Early reviews mention XClub, the Visha player, WPS Office and the Hola browser, among others. Most of them can be uninstalled or disabled in a few minutes.

Price and availability: how much does the Note 60 Pro cost?

As of 1 October 2026, we have not found an official price for the Note 60 Pro in Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire or Senegal. Prices elsewhere give a good benchmark. In Nigeria, it is listed at 556,000 naira for the 8 + 256 GB model, about 310 to 325 euros. In the Philippines, it costs 17,999 pesos for 8 + 256 GB and 19,999 pesos for 12 + 256 GB, or about 275 and 305 euros. In Indonesia, prices are 5,499,000 and 5,999,000 rupiah, about 290 and 315 euros. In India, it starts at 31,999 rupees (8 + 128 GB).

Converted at the fixed rate of 655.957 FCFA to the euro, that puts the 8 + 256 GB version at roughly 180,000 to 210,000 FCFA, and the 12 + 256 GB version at around 200,000 to 240,000 FCFA. Actual prices will depend on taxes and promotions.

To buy it in West and Central Africa, stick to authorised Infinix stores and major platforms such as Jumia, so you are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. After-sales service is handled by Carlcare, the Transsion group’s network, which is present in most large cities in the region. Check the warranty length with the seller when you buy.

In France, Infinix does not officially sell the Note 60 Pro. At the time of writing, we found no product listing on Amazon.fr, Fnac, Darty or Cdiscount.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Top-tier battery life with 6,500 mAh
• 90 W charging in 41 minutes, charger and case included
• Very bright 1.5K 144 Hz AMOLED screen
• Steady Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 that runs cool
• 30 W wireless charging, infrared, FM radio and eSIM

Cons

• Water resistance limited to IP64
• 8 MP ultra-wide lacks detail
• Poorly stabilised video, especially at 2x zoom
• UFS 2.2 storage and no microSD
• FCFA price and availability not yet official

If your budget is tight, the Infinix Note 60 keeps the same screen and the same battery for about 40,000 FCFA less, at the cost of charging limited to 45 W. If photography and ruggedness matter more, the Tecno Camon 50 Pro adds a 3x telephoto and IP68 and IP69K ratings. Finally, for serious gaming, the Infinix GT 50 Pro steps up with its Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chip and shoulder triggers, for a noticeably bigger budget.

Conclusion: should you buy the Infinix Note 60 Pro?

Yes, if battery life and charging come first. The Note 60 Pro is one of the longest-lasting phones in its class, and its 90 W charging turns short windows of electricity into a proper full tank. Its screen is superb, its chip stays cool, and Infinix is finally committing to credible software support.

It is not perfect. The cameras are decent at best, video is shaky, and IP64 looks thin next to IP68-rated Tecno phones. But at around 180,000 to 210,000 FCFA, the overall package hangs together very well. Everything will depend on the final price set in West and Central Africa: above 230,000 FCFA, it would be much less appealing.
