Infinix Note 60 Pro Problems: Performance, Camera, Bloat Fixes

Tap an app, and there’s a beat before it opens. Once it’s running, everything feels fine. That pause is the most common of the Infinix Note 60 Pro problems reviewers describe, and it has a simple hardware reason. The rest are a pinkish ultra-wide camera, heavy games that don’t run smoothly, a lot of pre-installed apps, and a heart-rate sensor that often needs several tries.

It’s the first Snapdragon-powered Infinix in years, and it gets plenty right: a bright 144Hz AMOLED, a big battery, 90W charging and cool running. Knowing what’s inside tells you which complaints are faults and which are limits.

The hardware, and what it can and can’t do

Infinix unveiled the Note 60 Pro on 17 February 2026. These specs come from MySmartPrice’s and The Week’s reviews:

UFS 2.2 storage and an IP64 rating explain a good share of what follows.

Apps take a moment to open

MySmartPrice says the UFS 2.2 storage slows app loading, even though everyday performance is consistent once apps are open. You can’t upgrade the storage. You can stop it becoming more of a bottleneck.

1. Keep 15 to 20% of storage free. Slow storage gets slower when it’s nearly full, so check Settings › Storage and clear big videos and app caches.
2. Uninstall apps you don’t use instead of leaving them to update in the background.
3. In Settings › Apps (or App management), turn off auto-start for apps that don’t need to run at boot.
4. Try the memory extension setting off or lowered (search Settings for “memory extension”). XOS can use storage as extra virtual RAM, and on slow storage that sometimes makes app switching slower. Restart and compare.
5. Enable Developer options by tapping Build number seven times in About phone, then set the animation scales to 0.5x.
6. Restart once a week to clear memory leaks from badly behaved apps.

Frame drops in heavy games

In MySmartPrice’s tests BGMI averaged about 82fps, which is playable but behind rivals, and heavy workloads averaged around 44fps with dips into the mid-30s. The phone is tuned to stay cool rather than chase peak frame rates.

Update the game and XOS from Settings › System update. Add the game to Infinix’s game mode tool, choose a performance or balanced profile and block notifications while you play. In demanding titles, a stable 60fps with medium graphics beats a 90 or 120fps setting that keeps dipping. Power saving mode caps performance, so turn it off for gaming, close background apps, and don’t play while it fast-charges at 90W.

Warm, but not a heating problem

In review testing it ran cool. MySmartPrice recorded a peak of about 38°C under sustained load, lower than some competitors, and The Week noticed no heating while charging. If yours feels much hotter than that, look in Settings › Battery for a stuck app keeping the chip busy. Take thick cases off while charging and keep it out of direct sun. Use the original 90W charger and cable, because cheap cables can heat up at high wattage.

Heat warnings in normal conditions or a bulging back mean you should stop using it and go to Carlcare, Infinix’s official service network.

Pink ultra-wide shots and soft night selfies

MySmartPrice found a slight pink tint and inconsistent warm tones from the 8MP ultra-wide, and soft low-light selfies. The Week felt the default AI mode overdoes skin smoothing and sharpening. These are tuning limits, not faults.

• Update the Camera app and XOS. Camera tuning often improves in updates.
• For shots that matter, use the 50MP main camera and step back instead of switching to ultra-wide.
• Turn off AI scene enhancement or beauty modes if skin and colours look wrong.
• Fix the tint afterwards in Google Photos or Snapseed by moving the tint or white balance towards green.
• At night, use the screen flash for selfies or get closer to a light.

Blurry photos, spots or a camera app that crashes are different. Clean the lenses and run a camera test; our hidden Android diagnostic codes list includes test menus that work on many Android phones.

Clearing out the pre-installed apps

Reviewers say the pre-installed apps take some shine off XOS 16. Most can go without root. Long-press an unwanted app on the home screen and choose Uninstall; many partner apps come off completely. For system apps that can’t be removed, open Settings › Apps, select the app and tap Disable where it’s offered. Then turn off recommendations and promotional notifications in the app store and launcher settings (look for “recommend” or “suggestions”), and go through Settings › Notifications to silence anything that sends adverts.

Heart-rate readings that fail

The sensor sits on the lower-right edge, and MySmartPrice called it unreliable, often needing several attempts. Wipe the sensor and your fingertip, since dirt and moisture throw off optical sensors. Rest your hand on a table and keep your finger still without pressing hard, and measure after sitting quietly for a minute. For health tracking you can depend on, use a smartwatch or fitness band.

On updates, MySmartPrice reports Infinix promises three Android OS upgrades and five years of security patches. Install them from Settings › System update on Wi-Fi with plenty of battery. And keep the IP64 rating in mind: it covers dust and splashes, not submersion. Keep the phone away from pools and heavy rain, and dry it before charging if it gets wet.

Buying a Note 60 Pro second-hand

Infinix phones sell well second-hand in Nigeria, Kenya, Pakistan and South-East Asia, and some were bought on instalment plans. Before you pay:

1. Dial *#06# and check that both IMEIs match the box and Settings › About phone.
2. Run a manufacturer and model check to confirm it’s a real Note 60 Pro and not a lookalike.
3. Run a GSMA blacklist check for lost or stolen reports.
4. Make sure the Google account has been removed, and ask straight out whether it was bought on instalments. Our Tecno, Infinix and itel check guide covers finance locks.
5. Test the camera, speakers, charging and free storage yourself.
