Infinix Note 60 Pro Review: Looks Like an iPhone But Does It Perform Like One?

The new Infinix Note 60 Pro is an interesting midrange smartphone that looks too familiar to another popular device to be ignored. But besides its design, it features a pretty decent-looking spec sheet on paper for a phone at Rs 30,000. But is it actually worth considering, or is its design the only thing turning heads? I have spent a week with this phone to find those answers, and let me tell you everything in this Infinix Note 60 Pro review. 

Unboxing 

First, the box contents for the Infinix Note 60 Pro don't look too shabby. It covers all the essentials to get you started. Here's everything included:

Build and Design 

• 7.4 mm thickness, 200 gram weight
• Aluminium frame, plastic back
• IP64 dust and water resistant

Starting with the design, I have been using the Solar Orange colour variant of the Note 60 Pro, and it looks unremarkably similar. The large camera island on the back, the position of the cameras and the LED light, and the general look are all too similar to the iPhone 17 Pro. In fact, I put it face down next to the iPhone and couldn't tell which was which from far away. 

Of course, the difference is clearly visible from close up, especially when you pick it up and notice that it weighs just 201 grams. This is impressively light for a phone packing a 6,500 mAh battery, and the build feels solid and premium thanks to the aluminium frame. The phone is also comfortable to hold, as it is only 7.4 mm thick, which feels far better to hold and grip than the chunkier Nothing Phone (4a). 

Now that I have mentioned Nothing, let's talk about the party trick on this phone, which is the Active Matrix Display. Yep, Infinix has not only copied Apple's homework but also given it to Nothing to paraphrase it. The phone has a mini secondary screen on the back, just like the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, which shows notifications, pixel pets, mini games, and charging status.

I don't have any concrete opinion about this, because on one hand, it adds a unique aspect to the device, but I didn't get much use out of it during my Infinix Note 60 Pro review period. 

My only gripes are with the flat sides and the button placement. The power and volume buttons sit a little too low, and I found myself accidentally pressing them more often than I would like. The IP64 rating also stings a little at this price. Since it can only handle a light splash, unlike phones such as the Motorola Edge 70, which come with better IP 68/69 ratings. 

Display and Audio Quality 

• 6.78-inch 1.5K 144 Hz AMOLED display
• 4,500 nits peak brightness (as claimed by the brand)
• Gorilla Glass 7i protection, dual stereo speakers

On the front, the Infinix Note 60 Pro comes with a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, and this is a genuinely excellent screen. Colours are vibrant, blacks are deep, and the 4,500 nits peak brightness means outdoor visibility was not an issue when I took the phone out for some camera samples. 

It is a bit on the larger side for me, but I enjoyed watching the latest season of One Piece on this screen from time to time during my Infinix Note 60 Pro review period. With all these pros, it wouldn't be wrong to say that it is one of the best display phones under 30,000. 

What made the experience even more enjoyable were the stereo speakers on either side of the phone. They get quite loud without much distortion, meaning I could leave my earbuds in my drawer when watching videos or listening to music on this phone. 

Performance Tested 

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor
• Up to 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB UFS 2.2 storage

Infinix has traditionally leaned on MediaTek for its Note series, so seeing a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 here is a welcome change. This is a chipset that we have been noticing quite frequently in newer devices, and I have tested it before in my Motorola Edge 70 Fusion review. It is a capable processor that delivers decent everyday performance. Here's a breakdown of its benchmarks. 

In everyday use, it handles most tasks without any issues. Whether I was switching between apps, browsing something on Amazon, streaming shows, or even playing games in between, it ran everything pretty much without breaking a sweat. 

Since we are on the topic of gaming, Call of Duty: Mobile runs at 120 FPS with Low and Ultra settings, while BGMI runs at 90 FPS. During my Infinix Note 60 Pro review period, I played several hours of COD to push my rank, and the phone held up well without getting uncomfortably hot. 

The 4,758mm² vapour chamber does its job. I also tried Genshin Impact once, but I noticed constant frame drops at high settings, so I didn't find much need to try it again. 

Software and Updates 

• Android 16-based XOS
• 3 years of major software updates and 5 years of security updates

The Note 60 Pro runs XOS 16 on top of Android 16, and Infinix has clearly outdone itself with the UI. It looks and feels very smooth and fluid, with bouncy and bubbly animations all over. The haptics are also integrated well with the interface, providing tactile feedback for every action on the display. It does have a clear iOS 26 inspiration, but I didn't mind it since it has become the norm for most Android skins lately. 

There is also a good set of AI features thrown in the mix. First is the FOLAX AI assistant that can be accessed through the side button. It can analyse your screen, translate text, and summarise content. There is AI Writing, AI Studio, AI Recording Summary, and a handful of student-focused tools, too. 

I typically don't bother much about AI tools, which is evident if you read my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review. But I did try out FOLAX, and it happened to surprise me with its capabilities. It is certainly no match for Google's Gemini, but I do have to give kudos to Infinix for trying. 

Cameras Reviewed

• 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera
• 8 MP ultra-wide sensor
• 13 MP selfie camera

Infinix has paired the Note 60 Pro with a decent set of cameras for this price. It has a 50 MP main, an 8 MP ultrawide, and a 13 MP selfie sensor. Let me break down what kind of photos you can expect from this phone. 

The main 50 MP camera takes good daylight shots with natural colours and decent details in the images. The shots I have taken look pretty clean for the most part, without overexposing the harsh sun-lit background. It's the same case at night, where the shots look pretty neat overall. But when you look at them closely, you will notice that they lack details and punch. 

Low-light images are something that I have noticed most phones at this price tend to struggle with. Thankfully, the Note 60 Pro doesn't overblow the exposure from the light sources at night. 

As for the 8 MP ultrawide lens, it is also serviceable, but nothing out of the ordinary. It captures nice, wide shots, but in low light, details get very soft, and everything just seems to blend into each other. 

The 13MP selfie camera does a reasonable job with mostly accurate skin tones and no aggressive beauty filters, which I appreciated. The bokeh effect in portrait mode is good too, especially when it comes to edge detection.

Overall, after my week of usage of this phone, I feel it is fine for casual photo taking, but certainly not the best camera phone under 30,000. 

Battery Life and Charging 

• 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery
• Supports 90W charging
• 30W wireless charging support

The 6,500mAh battery is the Note 60 Pro's strongest suit, according to me. Of course, it doesn't match the capacity seen on the Vivo T5 Pro, but I still consistently got close to 8 hours of screen-on time throughout my Infinix Note 60 Pro review period. It comfortably lasted well into day two under moderate use.

Plus, the supplied 90W adapter gets it topped up quickly, and there is also 30W wireless charging support, which I haven't heard of in this price category since the Motorola Edge 60 Pro. It also came with wireless charging for under 30,000 when it launched in 2025. Overall, the Note 60 Pro isn't by any means the best battery phone in this range, but it will get you through a day's work without any issues. 

Infinix Note 60 Pro Review Verdict: Should You Buy It? 

The Infinix Note 60 Pro is a genuinely capable mid-range phone dressed in someone else's outfit. The battery life is solid, the display is excellent, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 is a meaningful upgrade, the software is smooth and feature-packed, and the Active Matrix Display is a fun add-on to have. 

But none of those in particular makes it stand out at Rs 31,999. The cameras are not competitive against the Nothing Phone (4a) or Motorola Edge 70 Fusion at similar prices. If you don't mind the iPhone 17 Pro look-alike design and don't have much care for cameras or gaming, then I feel that the Note 60 Pro might fit you like a glove. Just don't expect it to fool anyone who has actually used an iPhone.
