Infinix Note 60 Pro to Borrow iPhone Design and an Exclusive Nothing Phone (3) Feature
The Infinix Note 60 Pro is an upcoming mid-range smartphone that’s generating buzz for its bold design choices, which clearly draw inspiration from premium flagships. Recent teasers and reports describe it as a hybrid that “borrows” elements from the iPhone 17 Pro and an exclusive feature from the Nothing Phone (3).
Design HighlightsThe rear camera setup features a large, horizontal camera island (often called a “plateau” or “bar”) that closely resembles the iPhone 17 Pro’s layout, complete with a pill-shaped module housing a triple camera array. This gives it a premium, flat, and modern aesthetic, especially in color options like orange that echo Apple’s recent vibes.
What sets it apart is the addition of a Rear Matrix Display (also called Active Matrix Display or dot-matrix secondary screen) integrated into the camera island. This is directly inspired by the Nothing Phone (3)’s Glyph Matrix interface—a customizable LED-based display on the back that shows notifications, time, weather, battery status, music controls, and more without unlocking the phone.
Infinix’s version appears to offer similar quick-glance functionality, though it may have its own twist in implementation.Many sources humorously call it “what you’d get if the iPhone 17 Pro and Nothing Phone (3) had a baby”—a mashup of Apple’s camera design with Nothing’s signature interactive rear panel.Other Key Specs (Confirmed via Teasers)
- Display: 6.78-inch 1.5K resolution AMOLED with 144Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and vibrant visuals, plus JBL-tuned dual stereo speakers.
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 5G chipset (mid-range performance with solid efficiency).
- Camera: 50MP main “Night Master” sensor (focused on low-light photography), with additional lenses in the triple setup (details pending); front camera around 13MP in some listings.
- Battery: Massive 6,500mAh capacity with 90W fast wired charging, plus mentions of self-healing battery tech for longevity (claimed up to 6 years) and possibly wireless/reverse charging in some reports.

- Variants: Expected RAM/storage options like 8GB/256GB or 12GB/256GB.
Availability and ContextInfinix has been teasing this heavily on social media (e.g., Facebook posts from Infinix Nigeria), with pre-reservations noted in some markets. It’s positioned as a budget-to-mid-range device (likely affordable compared to the flagships it mimics), succeeding the Note 50 series. Launch timing points to early 2026, possibly around February or before MWC in March—no exact global date yet, but it’s already appearing in unboxings and benchmarks in regions like Nigeria and others.
This design approach shows Infinix aiming to stand out in the competitive mid-range space by blending recognizable premium elements while keeping costs down. If you’re into unique rear displays or big batteries without flagship pricing, this could be worth watching! What do you think of the “inspired” design—cool innovation or too much copy-paste?
