Infinix Note 60 Ultra Brings Pininfarina Design and Two-Way Satellite Calling

A new flagship from Infinix is drawing attention for an unusual collaboration and a feature rarely seen in its segment. The company has introduced the Infinix Note 60 Ultra, developed with the Italian design house Pininfarina, marking the first time the nearly century-old studio has contributed to a smartphone project.

The device arrives weeks after Infinix unveiled the Note 60 and Note 60 Pro in mid-February, but the Ultra stands apart in both design and capability. It is also the first phone announced with support for two-way satellite calling across multiple countries, extending satellite connectivity beyond the text-only services seen on many existing devices.

Pininfarina’s influence is most visible on the back of the handset. The phone carries a high-strength aluminum alloy frame and a distinctive “Uni-Chassis Camera Module,” formed from a single sheet of Gorilla Glass Victus covering the triple camera system, a dot-matrix display, and a lighting element.

The lighting feature, described as a “Floating Taillight,” glows when the device powers on or receives notifications. The design team says the idea draws inspiration from decades of automotive work at Pininfarina, which turns 95 this year.

Under that glass panel sits the main imaging hardware. The Note 60 Ultra uses a 200-megapixel primary camera built around a 1/1.4-inch sensor from Samsung, capable of 2x lossless zoom. A 50-megapixel periscope lens provides 3.5x optical magnification and up to 7x in-sensor zoom, while a 112-degree ultra-wide camera completes the setup.

Infinix says the model is the first in its lineup to support Ultra HDR Capture and an XDR Display system powered by its in-house image engine.

Powering the phone is the Dimensity 8400 chipset from MediaTek, built on a 4-nanometer process and using an all-big-core CPU design with eight Cortex-A725 cores and a Mali-G720 MC7 GPU. The handset ships in a single configuration with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, along with built-in eSIM support. A 3D IceCore vapor chamber handles thermal management.

The device runs Android 16 with XOS 16 out of the box. Infinix says the phone will receive three major Android upgrades and five years of security updates.

On the front, the Note 60 Ultra carries a 6.78-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Brightness can reach up to 4,500 nits, and the panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i. The handset carries an IP64 rating for dust resistance and protection from splashes.

Audio is delivered through stereo speakers tuned with Sound by JBL, designed to provide what the company describes as 360-degree sound.

Battery capacity is another headline figure. The phone uses a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, with Infinix claiming a “self-healing” technology that can recover about one percent of battery life after every 200 charge cycles.

Charging support includes 100-watt wired charging, which the company says can reach 50 percent in 18 minutes and a full charge in 48 minutes. Wireless charging reaches 50 watts through Infinix’s MagCharge system, with compatible accessories included in the retail package.

The box itself contains several themed extras, including a zinc-alloy MagCharge Base inspired by supercar design, a Kevlar-pattern MagPad, a Kevlar MagCase and a track-edition SIM ejector tool.

Four color options are planned: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue and Roma Silver.

In Malaysia, the Infinix Note 60 Ultra is set to launch at MYR 3,000. Based on current conversions, that is roughly equivalent to about $760, €655, £570 or ₹70,000, though the company says final pricing in other markets will be announced closer to release.
