You Won't Believe This...but ( Infinix Note 60 Ultra Unboxing )
Sometimes it's hard to be excited about things that seem to be unobtainable. Things like Ferrari. But I am very excited for this. The Infinix Note 60 ultra, designed by Pinon Farina, the team behind the design of some Ferraris. And if what I'm hearing is true. But the price on this. Well, then I've got some good news. I have kept this brand new and sealed in the box, because I want to give you guys my first impressions of the design, saying that I have done my research, so I do know what this phone is all about. And before we take this out of this presentation box, there are two things to know that many people are really talking about when it comes to this phone. One being that this phone has something in common with Wolverine from the X-Men. Maybe there's something to that. And two, this actually has a world first when it comes to communications. I shall explain, but for now, open this box and see what's inside.
Unboxing
this is a really nice box, probably the nicest I've seen on this channel. And I do believe this will open up like this. I'm liking this presentation so far. There are a few compartments here. So we'll go through them one at a time. We have what I believe is the cables, charging cables. And there's more than one. So maybe there is more than one device in this box that requires cables. These are actually wired earbuds. And they're quite nice ones too, that they are in fact the classic earbuds with the inline remote and microphone built in here with usb-C on the other side. Now, right here, I believe we have the wireless charger. Yes, this is a magnetic wireless charging puck. And the Infinix Note 60 ultra charges wirelessly at 50W, which some flagships charge out via a wire. And this can do it wirelessly. So that's pretty incredible. Let's see what else is in the box on this side.
So I've got a feeling that this is going to be a phone case. But it's not just a case. It's also a screen protector. Have a look at this as well as a little install guide with the wet wipes and dry wipes inside. Let's get a look at the case itself. This is kind of a hybrid aramid fiber with a plastic edging. So that really is quite nice. And it's got this kind of v shaped aramid fiber pattern on the back, which is really cool. And this gives you a good idea of how big the camera module is on this phone. Next out of the box is this. This is the charging brick. The charging speed on this one is an incredible 100W, which means you could use this charger to recharge laptops and other devices that require a bit more power. And that is it for the left-hand side of the box.
Let's see what's in the right-hand side. What we have right here is a Pininfarina desk ornament designed to look kind of like a car. And this is in fact a very stylish wireless charging dock, which this fits into. So underneath it, run the cable through the back here and then plug it into the wireless charger. Then you can just place your phone on top of that and get your 50 watt wireless charging on the go. And there's some really premium materials used here, and a nice bit of branding there on this aramid fibre. It's got this really nice solid weight to it to. And the last thing on the right-hand side of the box, I believe, is this. This just might be the most unique SIM ejector tool that I've ever seen. It kind of looks like a car.
First Look at the Phone
You'll notice straight away some of the key specs for this phone are on this little cover. And don't worry, I'm going to highlight all of the main need-to-know things about this phone. This is truly unique amongst phones right now, so this looks really, really nice. The back of it itself looks like aramid fibre, a very tight weave and are actually four colours. There's this one, the Torino Black. There's also the Monza red, Amalfi blue and Roma silver. There are some really nice details on this phone, and the material is also very, very premium.
The frame is a high-strength aluminium alloy polished with high purity. 205 zirconium is nicely rounded at the corners and even at the back. The volume rocker is located on the right side. It feels nice, and then you've got the red accent button for the power key, and then beneath it is a very unique little sensor. Now, you might assume that this would be a camera button, but actually, it's not. I'll explain what this is in a moment. And on the left side, we've got the Pininfarina branding, plus an additional Mappable button. And up top, you'll see the speaker grille, micro and infrared blaster, and a bit of JBL branding because they have tuned the speakers on this device for Infinix, and yes, it does have stereo speakers and that bit of glass on the back there is so nice and something that some people don't know about Pininfarina. They didn't just design Ferraris; they've also had involvement in other sports cars like Alfa Romeos.
Something that I really like about this camera module design is how everything is all hidden underneath that one piece of glass. There are no extra bits and pieces. It's all just under that one piece of glass. And I don't know if you'll be able to see it on camera, but this actually has a little bit of a red tint to the glass. It's also got these really nice little ridges down the side. The glass, as well, which looks really cool, adds to the premium look of the phone. And of course, there are a couple of hidden features which I'm going to show you in a minute. Yeah, this is really, really nice.
The Case and Accessories
Now, before I get logged in and show you guys all of those unique features that separate this phone from the other flagship phones out there right now, let's try on the case real quick. Now, sometimes cases can really ruin the look of a phone, but this case right here looks like it's actually part of the phone. And something you should know. The phone itself doesn't have magnets, but the case does. So now with this on, you can use magnetic attachments like this one that I have from Peak Design. This is a little magnetic kickstand. So that will just lock in there. And then you can kick the legs out. It does also magnetises onto the charging dock as well.
Software and Standout Features
Let me walk you through some of the software aspects, and then we'll get into those standout features, including that Wolverine one. I know how you feel about it, Wolverine. But the first thing to note about the Infinix Note 60 Ultra is that it is running on a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chip. This is the first of its kind. It uses all large cores. It's designed for power and speed, just like a Ferrari. This is backed up with 12 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of storage.
The software itself is highly customizable. You do have built-in Infinix AI. This kind of works with ChatGPT. You can, of course, have Gemini on here. There are so many customisation features, including the ability to map that one tap button on the side. Now, on the other side, this little area, which I showed you guys when unboxed, is in fact a heart rate sensor. So you can set this up to take measurements and keep tabs on your health without having to wear a ring or watch to do it. There are a lot of personalisation options here which are really, really nice. You got 3D effects and all that good stuff. You can customise the Always-on and all of the lockscreen stuff. Very similar to some very popular phones out there right now.
Hidden Camera Module Features
Now remember how I said this camera module has some hidden features? Well, check this out. If I shake the phone, it shows the time. There is a dot matrix display built into the camera module, and you can use it to show various notifications. You can have it show where music is playing when you're using the AI, and if you want to, you can even have little animations on there. When you jump into the Matrix Studio and go to Lighting Effect, you can choose the kind of animation you want.
Now, something else that is really cool that you can do here with this area is you can actually play games with the matrix mini play feature. You use the built-in gyroscope to move your little spaceship back and forth and shoot the little aliens. It's essentially Space Invaders, and there is another little hidden feature within the camera module. There is a little Knight Rider light that runs underneath the camera module, kind of like a tail light on a car, and you can use this for notification alerts. It will also show when you're charging the phone and when you're wirelessly charging the phone.
Camera Hardware
But let's talk about the real highlight of the camera module. It is, of course, the hardware underneath. So the main camera here uses a 200 megapixel sensor from Samsung, which utilizes 16 in 1 pixel binning. So this essentially uses all of the information from that two and two megapixel sensor combines it together to create better images. So here are some samples from that camera.
Something exclusive to the ultra variant of this phone is the periscope zoom. So you can go 100 X with the periscope and get fantastic detail. And I will apologise for this really badly painted AR two-unit, but you get an idea of the kind of quality you can get from this camera, and it will use AI to upscale. I'll be honest with you guys, Periscope Zooms might seem like a bit of a gimmick, but they do come in handy. There's been plenty of times when I've been at airports that I've wanted to read the timetable from far away, and the scenario is that that way is super, super useful. The selfie camera also has an impressive sensor. It is a 32 megapixel sensor.
Self-Healing Battery
Now it's time for me to tell you about the Wolverine feature on this phone, which I think might be the absolute highlight of this device, and it is in regard to its battery. So you already know 100 watt wired charging, 50 watt wireless charging, and even reverse wireless charging are fantastic specs, but this phone has something that I've never heard of before, and although Infinix don't state that is a world's first, I do believe it just might be one of the concerns some people have about silicon carbon batteries and super fast charging speeds is that they can degrade quickly because you're pushing them to their limits, but not on this phone.
Apparently, this phone is quite the opposite. The battery in the Note 60 ultra actually recovers 1% of battery for every 200 charge cycles, and that's because of the type of battery it's using. The battery type here is titled Silicon carbon negative electrode battery. The silicon content is 10% versus 5% on pretty much all of the other batteries that you see out there today of this type, essentially doubling the amount of silicon. And it is this that separates this phone's battery from pretty much every other phone right now. And that is what this phone has in common with Wolverine. It does self-heal its battery.
Full Satellite Network Use
There is another awesome feature hidden within the settings, and this again separates this phone from pretty much every other phone out there right now. If you go to satellite network, this phone, unlike other phones that can connect to satellites for emergencies, can be used entirely via a satellite network connection.
So Infinix have partnered up with Three in order to make the most of this particular feature; you will have to get a SIM from them. But if you do, this basically means you can use this phone anywhere. So if you live somewhere with zero signal all of the time, this literally would be the perfect phone for you. And the satellite connection is powered by Infinix Direct to sell technology and it's very, very unique to this phone and the other Infinix Note phone.
Price and Final Thoughts
And here's that bigger news that I mentioned in the intro of this video. This isn't priced in line with Ferrari stuff. If the rumours are true, apparently this phone will retail in the US for under $600, which is kind of incredible for the cutting-edge tech that this phone has, the style that it has and the power and speed that it has. So when it comes to ultra phones, this one has kind of raised the bar.
