Yes, That Pininfarina."},"content":{"rendered":"

When a smartphone brand partners with a legendary Italian supercar design house, you pay attention. Infinix<\/a> just did exactly that \u2014 and the result is the NOTE 60 Ultra, unveiled<\/a> at MWC 2026<\/a> in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a budget phone with a fancy name. It’s a genuine flagship push. And some of the hardware choices are genuinely surprising.<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways:The Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra co-developed with Pininfarina introduces a flush Uni-Chassis Cam Module design that eliminates the camera bump using a single Gorilla Glass Victus rear panelA 200MP Samsung ISOCELL<\/a> HPE main sensor leads a triple-camera system with XDR Ultra HDR capture \u2014 a first for the Infinix lineupTwo-way satellite calling and messaging with claimed global multi-country coverage is the standout functional feature, going well beyond basic emergency SOSProprietary Battery Self-Healing Technology allows the 7,000mAh silicon-carbon cell to recover up to 1% of capacity every 200 charge cycles \u2014 an unusual longevity playThe device ships with MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate<\/a>, 144Hz 1.5K display, JBL-tuned stereo audio, and Android 16 out of the box in a single 12GB + 256GB configuration\"Infinix-NOTE-60-Ultra-family\"\/Design First. Always.<\/p>\n

The most striking decision? No camera bump.<\/p>\n

As phones keep adding bigger sensors, the rear camera module keeps getting uglier and more protruding. Infinix went the opposite direction. The NOTE 60 Ultra uses what they call a Uni-Chassis Cam Module \u2014 a single continuous sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus that integrates the cameras flush into the body. Clean rear. Smooth silhouette. Supercar logic applied to smartphone design.<\/p>\n

Pininfarina’s influence shows in the four colorways too: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue, Roma Silver. Each pulls from Italian motorsport and cultural history. It’s coherent, not just cosmetic.<\/p>\n

There’s also a floating taillight strip across the rear that lights up on power-on, and a hidden Active Matrix Display on the back that shows notifications and animations. Small details. But they add up to something that feels considered rather than assembled.<\/p>\n

200MP Camera, Satellite Calling, JBL Audio<\/p>\n

The camera system leads with a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPE main sensor. Alongside it sits a 50MP periscope telephoto and a 112\u00b0 ultra-wide. Zoom range runs from 2\u00d7 optical crop through to 100\u00d7 digital. XDR Ultra HDR capture is onboard for the first time on an Infinix device.<\/p>\n

But here’s the feature that genuinely stands out: two-way satellite calling and messaging. Not just SOS pings \u2014 actual calls and messages beyond cellular coverage. Infinix claims broader global country coverage than any phone currently offering this. That’s a bold claim worth testing, but if it holds up, it’s a meaningful differentiator.<\/p>\n

Audio is tuned by JBL through a stereo speaker setup. The display is a 1.5K Ultra HDR panel running at 144Hz with 4,500-nit peak brightness.<\/p>\n

Battery That Heals Itself<\/p>\n

The NOTE 60 Ultra packs a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery in a slim frame \u2014 impressive on its own. But Infinix added something unusual: Battery Self-Healing Technology. The phone reportedly recovers up to 1% of battery health every 200 charge cycles.<\/p>\n

Wired charging hits 100W. Wireless charging runs at 50W. Full charge from 1% takes 48 minutes wired. The chipset is a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate on a 4nm process, running XOS 16 based on Android 16.<\/p>\n

At 12GB RAM and 256GB storage as the single variant, Infinix isn’t offering configuration choices \u2014 just one package, fully loaded.<\/p>\n

Three years of OS updates and five years of security patches round out the ownership promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When a smartphone brand partners with a legendary Italian supercar design house, you pay attention.
