I've been familiar with Infinix for the last several years because my home country is one of the biggest markets that the OEM has. While the company is best at making devices with a lot of bang for your buck, it occasionally does what it can to compete with some of the top players, and recent news shows it will take a swing at that again.
By the end of this year, we should have the iPhone 17 Air and the Galaxy S25 Edge, which will signal that the renaissance of thin phones has truly begun. That'll be true even more so, as Infinix is prepping its own thin phone, the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+. The best part is that it will be more affordable than the others and could even surpass them in some specs.
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ Could Be Lighter and Nearly as Thin as the Galaxy S25 Edge
It's been ages since we have seen a mainstream device that prioritized its dimensions in the way that the S25 Edge did. Even though most of us were fine with phones in the 7mm and 8mm ranges, Samsung has chosen to put a focus on thinness, like in the good old days. There must be something we don't know, since Apple seems to have the same idea for this year, too.
But since Slim Syndrome is going around, I guess it doesn't hurt for Infinix to join the fray. It is definitely welcome. In the case of the Chinese OEM, its slim phone will be the Hot 60 Pro+, which will be a successor to an existing lineup and not used to introduce a new family of thin phones.
Here's how we know the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ will stack against Samsung's option, in terms of dimensions:
| Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge | Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ | |
| Thickness | 5.8mm | 5.95mm |
| Weight | 163.8 grams | 154.6 grams |
| Curved Display | No | Yes |
The measurements come courtesy of Ice Universe, and pictures comparing it to the S25 Edge come from GSMArena. It has a curved screen and back panel, and because of that, the device really effectively sells the illusion that it is notably thinner than the S25 Edge.
Hot Take: Infinix's Thin Phone Could Be the Best Representative in the Lightweight Division
The Hot 50 Pro+ was relatively thin and light, but the Hot 60 Pro+ could mark a permanent move for the lineup, and not a decision made for the gimmick.
What makes the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ a better representative of the thin phone gang is that it is definitely going to be a lot cheaper than the other options we know about.
The S25 Edge costs over $1,000, and the iPhone 17 Air will almost definitely follow suit. The Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ costs less than $200, and I doubt its successor will be anything over $300.
The Battery in the Hot 60 Pro+ Is Expected to Be “Massive”
There's no word on the actual capacity for the battery inside the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+, but according to a source speaking to GSMArena, it will “pack a massive battery”.
Its predecessor had a 5,000mAh battery, and for a slim phone, I'd find “massive” to be dishonest for anything 4,500mAh. It will likely beat Samsung in this regard, especially as they're more likely to embrace silicon-carbon batteries.
That means, compared to the S25 Edge, the upcoming phone is expected to have the following going for it:
- More affordable
- Bigger battery
- Lighter
- Visually thinner (thanks to the curved screen)
