Choosing the right smartphone often comes down to what features matter most to you. In this comparison, we’ll examine how the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ and OPPO A60 perform in key areas such as battery and charging, design and display, audio quality, performance, and durability. Both devices offer solid options in the mid-range category, each with its own set of strengths. We’ll break down the details to help you make an informed choice

BATTERY and CHARGING

The OPPO A60 offers a dependable 5,000mAh battery with 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging, providing a 1-50% charge in 30 minutes. However, the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ steps it up with a 5,000mAh battery rated for up to 1,600 charge cycles, ensuring 4 years of reliable performance while maintaining 80% battery health. This makes it an ideal choice for Nigerians looking for a long-lasting battery that can withstand the test of time.

Moreover, the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ features 33W Advanced FastCharge, with three multi-speed charging modes (Hyper Mode for 1-50% in just 26 minutes (similar charging speed as 45W Charge of the OPPA60), Smart Mode, and Low-Temp Mode). These modes cater to different charging needs, while features like Bypass Charging and Overnight Charging Protection make it more convenient and safe for users who often charge overnight or during intense usage.

DESIGN and DISPLAY

The Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ stands out as the world’s slimmest 3D-curved smartphone, boasting a 6.8mm thickness with the SlimEdge Design. This sleek profile, coupled with its Titanium-like back panel, provides both elegance and durability. The 6.78-inch 120Hz 3D Curved AMOLED display offers a 1080 x 2436 resolution and a peak brightness of 1300 nits, delivering stunning visuals even under the harsh Nigerian sunlight.

In contrast, the OPPO A60 comes with a 6.67-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, offering lower peak brightness (950 nits) and a less vibrant viewing experience. While the A60’s design remains slim at 7.68mm, it can’t compete with the HOT 50 Pro+ in terms of display quality or user experience.

AUDIO and SYSTEM PERFORMANCE 

For audio enthusiasts, the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ goes the extra mile with JBL-tuned dual stereo speakers, DTS support, and Hi-Res audio for a richer, more immersive sound experience which the OPPO A60 lacks.

On the performance front, Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ is certified by TÜV SÜD for 60-month fluency, which guarantees that the device will perform smoothly for up to 5 years without significant lag. This is ideal for Nigerian users who rely on their smartphones for a wide range of tasks, from gaming to content creation.

The OPPO A60, while solid in performance, only holds a 48-month fluency certification, meaning its performance longevity is slightly shorter than that of the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+. It does feature Snapdragon 680 for a reliable experience but lags in comparison to the overall package offered by the HOT 50 Pro+.

SMART AI CAPABILITIES

The Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ introduces a suite of AI-powered features designed for creative users. With AI Voice Assistant, AI Eraser, AI Cutouts, AI Wallpaper, and AI Voice Capture, it offers personalization and productivity tools that help elevate your content. These features are perfect for social media users and content creators in Nigeria who want to take their photos and videos to the next level.

On the other hand, the OPPO A60 offers AI Retouching, which helps improve the quality of your photos, but it lacks the variety of creative tools available on theInfinix HOT 50 Pro+. Infinix’s AI capabilities, especially for content creation, set the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ apart in terms of versatility and fun, making it the better option for users who want to personalize their devices and content more fully.

NFC CAPABILITIES

Both devices are equipped with NFC technology, but the Infinix  HOT 50 Pro+ offers industry-leading Infinix 720° SphereTech NFC, providing a broader and more reliable range than the 360° NFC on the OPPO A60. The Infinix 720° SphereTech NFC is the first to support reading and tapping cards on three sides (Front, Top, Back) of the mobile device. This expanded range enhances convenience for digital payments and other contactless interactions, making the HOT 50 Pro+ especially versatile for users who frequently use NFC.

DURABILITY AND PROTECTION

The Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ is designed with Titan Armor Protection, featuring a six-layer composite graphite structure that reduces heat by up to 2.7°C, ensuring smooth performance during intense tasks like gaming. It also boasts an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance and Wet & Greasy Touch Precision, allowing users to operate the device even in wet or oily conditions—an especially useful feature in Nigeria’s humid and sometimes rainy climate.

The OPPO A60, on the other hand, comes with Military-Grade Shock Resistance, offering drop protection in rugged environments. It also holds an IP54 rating but lacks the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+’s Wet & Greasy Touch Precision, limiting usability in wet or greasy conditions.

Conclusion: Which One Should You Choose?

Both the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ and OPPO A60 offer great value in the mid-range smartphone category, but they cater to slightly different needs. The OPPO A60 excels in rugged durability with military-grade protection. However, the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+ combines sleek design, advanced display technology, a long-lasting battery, and a suite of smart AI features—along with its brand of durability. With features like Titan Armor Protection, IP54 splash and dust resistance, and Wet & Greasy Touch Precision, the HOT 50 Pro+ stands ready to handle the unpredictability of everyday life.

So, when it comes to finding a device that not only delivers on performance but also withstands the demands of daily life, which one would you choose?
