The Infinix Note 60 Pro was recently launched in India as another mid-range smartphone from the tech firm. The handset currently retails at Rs. 31,999 in the country, which is a crowded space. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, which is built on a 4nm process, helping it deliver great performance for its price, which surpasses some of the more expensive handsets, too. The dual rear camera system on the Note 60 Pro is also quite capable, with crisp daytime performance and decent nighttime capturing.

Both ship with Samsung’s Exynos chipsets, offering decent performance, paired with the same 5,000mAh batteries and 45W wired fast charging support as last year.

Powered by the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor with 16GB RAM, it handles regular work and multitasking smoothly without drawing attention to itself. The keyboard is comfortable, and usability remains a strong point throughout. However, the display lacks vibrancy, the plastic build feels basic, and the battery life of around four to five hours limits unplugged use. It works best as a dependable daily work machine rather than an all-rounder. from Gadgets 360 https://ift.tt/80lQaLR
