Infinix used this year’s Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona to unveil its most ambitious flagship yet. The new Note 60 Ultra marks a major push into the premium smartphone segment, combining a distinctive automotive-inspired design with flagship-grade camera hardware, satellite communication, and a huge battery.
The device was co-developed with Italian design house Pininfarina, the legendary firm behind some of the most iconic supercars. That collaboration shapes both the aesthetics and engineering of the phone, which Infinix says aims to challenge expectations in the upper tier of the smartphone market.
A flagship design inspired by supercars
The Note 60 Ultra’s design takes cues from high-performance automotive engineering. Instead of the typical raised camera module, Infinix integrates its camera system into what it calls a Uni-Chassis Cam Module, formed from a single sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
The result is a smooth, uninterrupted rear panel that avoids the pronounced camera bump common on many flagship phones. According to the press materials, the aluminium unibody construction is designed to improve durability while also delivering a more natural feel in the hand.
Infinix is also leaning heavily into automotive design cues. A floating taillight signature illuminates when the phone powers on, while a hidden rear Active Matrix Display can show notifications and animated icons.
The phone launches in four colour options inspired by Italian motorsport culture: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue, and Roma Silver.
200MP camera system with periscope zoom
Imaging is another major focus for the Note 60 Ultra. The phone features a triple-camera setup led by a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPE sensor, paired with a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 periscope telephoto lens and a 112-degree ultra-wide camera.
The telephoto lens supports a range of zoom options, including a 2× optical crop, 3.5× optical zoom, 7× lossless digital zoom, and up to 100× hybrid zoom for extreme distances.
Infinix also introduces Ultra HDR capture powered by a proprietary XDR Image Engine, which aims to preserve more detail in high-contrast scenes such as night photography and sunset landscapes.
Satellite calling and a huge battery
One of the more unusual features is dual-way satellite connectivity. Infinix says the Note 60 Ultra supports satellite calling and messaging across multiple countries, allowing users to stay connected even when cellular networks are unavailable.
Battery life is another standout specification. The phone packs a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery that supports 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. According to Infinix, a full wired charge from 1 to 100 percent can take just 48 minutes.
The company is also introducing a battery self-healing technology designed to restore up to one percent of battery health every 200 charging cycles.
Performance, display, and software
Under the hood, the Note 60 Ultra runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
The phone features a 1.5K Ultra HDR display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 4500 nits, while the JBL-tuned stereo speakers aim to deliver a richer multimedia experience.
Software is handled by XOS 16, based on Android 16, introducing a new interface called GlowSpace alongside AI-powered features such as file organisation, adaptive knowledge tools, and health-monitoring functions.

Early thoughts
With the Note 60 Ultra, Infinix is clearly aiming higher than its usual mid-range territory. The combination of a 200MP camera, satellite communication, and a massive battery places it firmly in flagship territory, while the collaboration with Pininfarina gives the device a distinct design identity.
Pricing and regional availability details are expected to follow, but if Infinix can maintain its traditionally aggressive pricing strategy, the Note 60 Ultra could end up being one of the more interesting flagship challengers revealed at MWC this year.
