Infinix Note 60 Ultra

The Infinix Note 60 Ultra represents a major shift for the brand, steering away from budget-tier compromises and stepping boldly into “flagship killer” territory. Co-designed with the legendary Italian automotive design house Pininfarina, this device pairs a sleek supercar aesthetic with genuinely high-end internals.

Here is a closer look at what you get for that ZAR 10,000 starting price in South Africa.

Design & Visual Flairs

The automotive influence is impossible to miss. It features a slim 7.9mm chassis with a unique back panel that mimics a carbon-fiber pattern. The standout element is the Uni-Chassis Cam Module—the entire camera island is hidden beneath a single, continuous piece of smooth Gorilla Glass Victus to create a seamless look.

• The “Taillight” Feature: To lean further into the supercar theme, it includes a unique Dot Matrix display and a floating red LED “taillight” strip on the back for notification pulses and status indicators.

• Durability: The body is framed in aluminum and carries an IP64 rating, making it highly dust-tight and resistant to everyday water splashes.

Performance & Display

Instead of standard mid-range silicon, Infinix opted for a heavy hitter under the hood:

• The Chipset: Powered by the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate platform, paired with a massive 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of ultra-fast UFS 4.0 storage. It is built to effortlessly handle intensive gaming, heavy multitasking, and next-gen 5.5G connectivity.

• The Screen: It sports a 6.78-inch LTPS AMOLED display pushing a crisp 1.5K resolution ($1208 \times 2644$ pixels). Gamers and smooth-scrolling enthusiasts will appreciate the fluid 144Hz refresh rate, and its outdoor visibility is exceptional thanks to a blistering peak brightness of up to 4500 nits.

Pro-Grade Camera System

The camera array is arguably the phone’s headline feature, giving premium tier phones a serious run for their money:

• 200 MP Main Sensor: Equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), this sensor delivers extreme resolution and captures sharp detail even in challenging low-light conditions.

• 50 MP Periscope Telephoto: Also stabilized with OIS, this lens provides 3.5x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom capabilities for capturing clear, distant subjects.

• 8 MP Ultra-Wide & 32 MP Selfie: Rounding out the system is a 112° ultra-wide lens, while the front camera supports crisp 4K video recording at 30fps.

Monster Battery & Charging Ecosystem

Battery anxiety is virtually non-existent here. Infinix has managed to squeeze a massive 7000mAh Silicon-Carbon battery into the slim frame.

• Wired & Wireless Speed: When you finally run out of juice, 100W All-Around Fast Charging gets you back to 100% in roughly 48 minutes over Type-C. It also supports 50W wireless charging.

• Power Sharing & Bypass: Includes 10W reverse wired and wireless charging to boost accessories, alongside Bypass Charging, which routes power directly to the motherboard during gaming or navigation to prevent overheating.

Software, Audio, & Extra Goodies

Out of the box, the Note 60 Ultra runs XOS 16 (built on Android 16), with Infinix promising 3 years of major OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches. Audio is custom-tuned by SOUND BY JBL via dual stereo speakers, and it features an optical under-display fingerprint reader. It even supports two-way satellite communication for remote emergencies where cellular networks fail.
