Frequently asked
Is the Infinix Hot 60 Pro still supported?
Yes. It shipped in July 2025 on Android 15 and XOS 15.1 and is still inside its patch window in 2026. Our estimate puts security coverage through roughly July 2028.
How long will the Infinix Hot 60 Pro get updates?
Infinix publishes no binding policy for the Hot line, and its spec sheets only claim a soft 'up to 3 major upgrades'. The actual track record supports about 2 Android upgrades and 3 years of patches, ending near July 2028.
Does the Note 50s have 5G?
Yes, the Dimensity 7300 Ultimate provides 5G connectivity along with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4.
Does it support NFC?
No. The Note 50s 5G omits NFC, so contactless payment apps that require it will not work.
