Infinix has thrown its hat firmly into the flagship ring with the Note 60 Ultra, a new top-tier phone unveiled at MWC 2026 in Barcelona. It’s aiming far higher than the brand’s usual mid-range territory.
The headline feature is a 200MP camera system, but the phone is also packing satellite connectivity, a massive battery and a striking design developed with Italian automotive design house Pininfarina.
Taken together, it looks like Infinix’s most serious attempt yet to compete with the big names in the premium phone space.
The design is where Infinix wants to make its first impression. Rather than the increasingly chunky camera bumps we’ve seen across recent flagships, the Note 60 Ultra uses an aluminium unibody rear with what the company calls a Uni-Chassis camera module.
This module is formed from a single sheet of Gorilla Glass Victus. The idea is to keep the back smooth and uninterrupted. Therefore, it is more like the bodywork of a sports car than a traditional smartphone.
There are some flashy touches too. A “Floating Taillight” lighting strip runs across the back and lights up when the phone powers on, while a hidden Active Matrix rear display can show notifications, icons or a pixel-style companion.
Under the surface sits a triple-camera setup anchored by a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPE sensor, joined by a 50MP periscope telephoto camera and an ultra-wide lens. Zoom runs from a 2× optical crop and 3.5× optical zoom through to 7× lossless digital zoom. Meanwhile, it stretches all the way to 100× hybrid zoom for long-distance shots.
Elsewhere, the phone leans heavily into big-spec hardware. A 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chip powers the device alongside 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Additionally, a 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery supports 100W charging and 50W wireless charging, with a full top-up claimed in around 48 minutes.
Infinix is also adding two-way satellite calling and messaging, allowing users to stay connected in areas without mobile coverage.
The display is another highlight, with a 1.5K panel capable of 144Hz refresh rates and a peak brightness of 4500 nits, backed up by stereo speakers tuned by JBL.
The Note 60 Ultra runs Android 16 with Infinix’s new GlowSpace interface, and the company is promising three years of OS updates and five years of security patches.
Whether it can truly challenge the heavy hitters remains to be seen, but on paper at least, the Note 60 Ultra is shaping up to be one of the more ambitious phones launching in 2026.
