Infinix has confirmed that its upcoming Infinix Note 60 Ultra will be the first smartphone to feature a design co-created with Italian design house Pininfarina. This marks a bold move by Infinix to step up the design and premium feel of its Note-series lineup.
What the Partnership Means
- Pininfarina — best known for iconic automotive design — is bringing nearly 90 years of design heritage and aesthetic expertise to the collaboration.
- The Note 60 Ultra is being positioned as a flagship-class device in the Note series, with “premium design + performance” ambitions rather than just budget or mid-range aspirations.
- Infinix aims to elevate its design language across future models — this collaboration is described as the start of a “new design era” for the brand.
What We Know — Launch & What to Expect
- The Note 60 Ultra has appeared on certification/rumour-lists along with another variant (Note 60 Edge), indicating official preparations for launch soon.
- The model numbers surfaced (for Ultra and Edge variants), suggesting both are being readied together.
- While full specifications haven’t been officially revealed, the Ultra is expected to top the Note 60 lineup — meaning better display, performance, camera and build compared to standard variants.
Why This Matters
- This is one of the rare times a mainstream smartphone brand in the mid-range/upper-mid range is collaborating with a luxury-level design studio — possibly shifting expectations around what “budget-flagship” phones can look like.
- For buyers who care not just about specs but also about design, feel, and build quality — this could bring “premium smartphone aesthetics at accessible pricing.”
- It sets a new benchmark for the brand: with stronger design focus, Infinix may begin competing not only on value but also on build quality and overall presentation — potentially appealing to a more design-conscious audience.
What Is Still Unknown
- Detailed specs — display type, hardware, camera, battery — are not yet confirmed. Certification leaks hint at a “top-end” device but full details remain under wraps.
- Pricing — whether the “premium design + flagship-class build” will translate to a much higher price tag, or if Infinix will try to keep it value-oriented.
- Market availability and launch date — though the listing and leaks suggest a launch soon, official launch timeline hasn’t been made public.
FAQs
Q: Is Infinix Note 60 Ultra officially confirmed with Pininfarina design?
Yes. Infinix has publicly announced a strategic design partnership with Pininfarina, and Note 60 Ultra is confirmed as the first phone under this collaboration.
Q: Does that mean design will be more premium than previous Infinix phones?
Most likely yes — partnering with Pininfarina signals a push toward premium-quality design, materials, and build.
Q: Should I wait for this for serious buying consideration?
If you value design, build quality and want something that feels more premium than typical Note-series phones, waiting makes sense. If you need a phone immediately and aren’t particular about design, existing Infinix phones still offer good value.
