"The Note 60 Pro's camera plateau is lifted directly from Apple's design playbook: that horizontal pill shape spanning the phone's width, housing three vertical lenses on the left side, available in a Solar Orange finish that's Apple down to the shade. The right side of that plateau, though, gets filled with a dot-matrix display borrowed from Nothing's Glyph experiments, showing weather, time, notifications, and music controls in small illuminated dots."
"This collision of reference points could have produced incoherent design, but Infinix committed hard enough to make it work. The plateau provides a unified canvas rather than trying to bolt disparate elements together, and the matrix display gets proper size instead of being minimized into uselessness. You can actually read the information displayed without straining, which already puts it ahead of the Phone (3)'s too-small implementation."
"Let's be direct: this is a derivative design. It's a collage of other companies' proven successes, banking on the idea that combining two popular aesthetics will create a third. While the integration is clean, it reveals a lack of a core design identity from Infinix itself. This is the strategy of a market follower, not a leader. The approach is to create something that feels familiar enough to be desirable but different enough to be noticeable."
Infinix combined the iPhone 17 Pro's horizontal, pill-shaped camera plateau with Nothing Phone (3)'s dot-matrix Glyph display for the Note 60 Pro, including a Solar Orange finish. The unified plateau spans the phone's width, placing three vertical lenses on the left and a readable dot-matrix panel on the right showing weather, time, notifications, and music controls. The integration is clean and the matrix display is sized for legibility, improving on Nothing's too-small implementation. The design is derivative and signals a market-follower strategy that prioritizes attention in the mid-range segment over a unique brand identity. The spec sheet pairs a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 with a large 6.78-inch display.
