Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra: supercar-inspired design
The NOTE 60 Ultra was co-developed with Pininfarina, the Italian design house famous for its work on Ferrari and other sports cars. Its styling borrows the smooth, sculpted lines of Italian cars. Key design ideas include:
- Uni-Chassis Cam Module: Infinix describes it as an industry first. Instead of a separate camera bump, the camera hardware is blended into a single flowing unibody, so the back looks clean and uncluttered.
- Floating Taillight: a lighting element inspired by car rear lights that adds personality without spoiling the clean look.
- Active Matrix Display: a hidden rear display that can show notifications and interactive effects.
Infinix NOTE 60 Pro: lightweight aluminium unibody
The NOTE 60 Pro uses a seamless, lightweight aluminium unibody, designed to be durable yet comfortable to hold. A diamond-cut finish inspired by the stars and its own Active Matrix Display give it a distinctive look that is expressive without being loud.
What “Joy Tech” means for Infinix
Infinix describes its design philosophy as “Joy Tech”: technology that is enjoyable to use and lets people express their personal style, not just a list of specs. The NOTE 60 awards suggest that the brand, founded in 2013 and now selling in more than 70 countries across Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, is competing on design as well as price.
Why design awards matter to buyers
- Build quality: award-winning designs usually come with better materials and finishing.
- Comfort: judges look at ergonomics, such as how a phone feels in the hand.
- Value: premium design at mid-range prices is where Infinix aims to stand out.
