After launching the Hot 60i 4G earlier this year, Infinix is gearing up to drop its 5G version in India before the month ends. Targeting budget buyers who want faster connectivity without breaking the bank, the Infinix Hot 60i 5G promises long battery life, solid performance, and AI-powered extras — all likely priced under ₹10,000.

Launch Timeline and Availability

Although Infinix has not disclosed the date of launch, teasers of the smartphone indicate that the device is expected to come in before the month ends. These teasers indicated it will be sold through Flipkart and Infinix's official store. If the pricing is close to the pricing of the 4G version, the entry-level model of the device (4GB RAM - 128GB Storage) will likely be priced under ₹10,000. This will make it one of the cheapest 5G smartphones available in India.

Sleek Design and Colour Options

The Hot 60i 5G will feature a horizontal camera module with a dual rear setup and come in four finishes:

 

  • Shadow Blue
  • Monsoon Green
  • Sleek Black
  • Plum Red

 

Exact display details aren’t out yet, but expect a large screen tuned for binge-watching and gaming.

Hardware and Performance

The smartphone is claimed to have the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 SoC as a processor. The Dimensity 6400 SoC offers faster connectivity and performance than other 4G SoC's.

 

  • 4GB RAM (expandable with virtual RAM)
  • 128GB storage (expandable via microSD)
  • 6,000mAh battery — claimed to be the first of its kind in the segment for a 5G device.

 

 

That massive battery could easily power two days of moderate to heavy use on a single charge.

Camera Setup

The 50MP primary sensor tops the dual rear camera setup. The details of the secondary sensor remain a secret for now, but Infinix guarantees a decent selfie camera for everyday photos and video calls.

AI-Powered Features

Infinix is pushing a set of AI-driven tools to enhance everyday use:

 

  • Circle to Search
  • AI Eraser for photo cleanup
  • AI Extender for battery optimisation
  • AI Call Translation for multilingual conversations
  • AI Wallpaper for personalisation

 

 

Why It Matters

If Infinix can follow through with its claims, the Hot 60i 5G could change the game entry-level 5G market with features including:

 

  • Large 6,000mAh battery
  • Decent camera system
  • Reliable performance with 5G speeds
  • AI-powered tools are usually seen in higher-end devices

 

With the competition so stiff in the sub-₹10,000 space, the Infinix Hot 60i 5G could potentially be the budget-friendly all-rounder to have.
