Our estimateSupported until July 2028 · Buy-by July 2026
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Hot 60 should be supported until around July 2028. Buying it today still gets you about 2.0 years of safe use, and Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years (verified July 2026).

TrueCost
Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.
27% cheaper than the under-$300 median ($6.38/mo, dying phones excluded)
Is the Hot 60 worth buying in 2026?
With caution — only 23 months of updates are left ($4.66/month of safe use). Fine as a short-term or budget pick, risky as a long-term keeper.
Our verdict
The cheapest way into a Dimensity 7020 5G phone at about $110, with patches estimated to run to roughly July 2028 and a low-resolution screen as the price you pay.
Pros
- Real 5G with a capable Dimensity 7020 at an entry-level price
- 5200mAh battery paired with a modest 720p panel gives long runtime
- microSD expansion and up to 256GB built in, unusual at this tier
Cons
- 720 x 1600 LCD looks coarse next to the AMOLED Hot 60 Pro
- 18W charging is slow for a 5200mAh cell, roughly two hours to full
- No NFC, so no tap-to-pay, and it is a chunky 193g

Frequently asked questions
Is the Infinix Hot 60 5G a different phone from the Hot 60?
No. One device, model X6726, is sold as the Hot 60 globally and as the Hot 60 5G or 5G+ in India. Its siblings are the 4G Hot 60 Pro, the Hot 60 Pro+ and the Hot 60i.
Is the Infinix Hot 60 still supported?
Yes. It reached shelves on 15 July 2025 running Android 15 with XOS 15.1 and remains within its patch window through 2026. Our estimate has security updates continuing to about July 2028.
How long will the Infinix Hot 60 get updates?
Infinix has no published guarantee for the Hot series. Based on its documented track record we expect roughly 2 Android upgrades and about 3 years of security patches, putting end of support near July 2028.
Is the Hot 60 worth buying in 2026?
It is defensible if you need 5G under $120 and mostly message, call and stream. Anyone who reads or watches a lot should stretch to an AMOLED model, because the 720p panel is this phone's biggest compromise.
