Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ Drives the Ultra-Thin Trend
Infinix is poised to make waves in the mobile industry with its upcoming Hot 60 Pro+, which claims a body thickness of only 5.95 mm. This would make it one of the thinnest curved screen smartphones on the market, rivaling benchmark-setting devices like Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge and Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air. According to industry sources and leaked images, the Hot 60 Pro+ is already in mass production and expected to launch soon.
Context: Pushing the Limits of Smartphone Design
The push for ultra-thin phones has gained momentum, with Samsung recently releasing the Galaxy S25 Edge at a 5.8 mm profile, and Apple reportedly developing a 5.5 mm iPhone 17 Air. Infinix is the latest to join this race, aiming to bring cutting-edge aesthetics from the premium segment into more affordable territory. The Hot 60 Pro+ is expected to retail for under $500, which stands in contrast to the $1,099 Galaxy S25 Edge, making ultra-thin design accessible to a wider audience.
Leaked photos showcase the Hot 60 Pro+ next to standard devices like the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15, illustrating its remarkably slim profile. The device features a curved screen and a triple rear camera setup with slightly protruding lenses. While this design direction certainly appeals to style-conscious users, it raises familiar concerns about battery life, structural durability, and performance compromises that often accompany such thin designs.
Implications: Style Meets Compromise?
The appeal of a sub-6mm smartphone is undeniable, especially for consumers who value design above all. However, past attempts at creating ultra-thin phones have shown that excessively slim devices can struggle with thermal management, battery life, and even build durability. As a mid-range phone, the Hot 60 Pro+ is likely to feature less powerful hardware than its premium rivals, which could help mitigate some of these concerns—particularly if Infinix employs newer battery technologies like silicon-carbon cells. Still, there are trade-offs.
- Pros: Striking design, affordable ultra-thin profile, curved display.
- Cons: Potentially smaller battery, possible durability and performance sacrifices.
What Comes Next?
If Infinix balances design, battery, and usability, the Hot 60 Pro+ could set a new trend in the mid-range segment. It remains to be seen how consumers will respond: Will thinness outweigh practical needs? Or will most users prefer slightly thicker phones with longer battery life? The Hot 60 Pro+ is about to put these questions to the test in the global smartphone market.
